Have a '02 2500, auto trans. , 5. 9 V8 (gas) engine with approx. 118,000 mls. Truck tows an 18' utility trailer several times a week (yes, the O/D is turned off). Would using a trans additive like Lucas or BG be beneficial when we service the transmission?

Hi all, Thought I'd put a close on this story. Well, we COMPLETELY undid the Edge, took the truck to Advance and had them clear the codes, then reconnected the Edge. Started truck - NO CODES & PLENTY OF POWER. 2 very happy people especially since we had just lost the transmission out of...

Hi to all, Just had the chance to take truck to Advance for them to clear the codes. Randy completely disconnected the Edge & put the truck back to stock in the parking lot before the fellow ran the codes (still the same 2). He then cleared the codes, Randy started the engine and TA-DA, no...

Hi - thanks for the reply. The fuel pump that's on the truck is on the side of the engine - original location. It's an Airtex which we understand used to be Carter; and it's the new version - horizontal instead of vertical. We got it from Advanced Auto and the fellow there actually called...

Hi folks - I'm MRS. rlightner:). I'll be doing most of the posts for my husband now , since as he puts it - "his hands are usually covered in grease and it takes him forever to hunt and peck something out". I know this is going to be long, so please bear with me. Also, I (we) don't understand...

Went out to see if i could get the code by the check engine light. Unplugged the chip then followed procedure always did with my '96 gas Dodge -- started engine, ran rpms slowly up to 2000, let down slowly, cycled climate control through all setting then back to off, turned off engine. Then the...

Bought a '99 2500 quad cab, 4x4 w/ cummins in Nov '07. Was in good cond. , one owner, 101000 mls. , stock except for an old performance chip. Replaced old chip last month with a new Edge chip. Been having a little issue recently with the trans shifting up & down - cleaned battery terminals...
