I went with a Derale 15950. $195 shipped. 3 hrs install. Works like the old Super Duty coolers on the first gens. A thermo switch activated fan cooling a plate and fin cooler. Its mounted in front of the gas tank (long bed) inline after stock cooler. Adds a quart and a half or so fluid. Also...

Had a tough decision and went with the DTT because James is putting in my trans HBarlow. Goerened is pretty bad *** though with the 47/48re/rh being 98% of his workload. If I had another Ram I'd do both. DTT shipped Tue and I expect to be rolling in a week. I'm adding a Derale 15950 Atomic Cool...

Thanks Guys. I'm in Dallas right now. After I know more on Tuesday I'll be calling Goerend, Dtt, and Suncoast for pricing and warrenties if needed.

In a previous post I described my torque converter locking up in trans and stalling truck. Dodge says I need to rebuild or replace($95 diagnosis). AAMCO is checking it out to see if its a solenoid or something (Free diagnosis). AAA towing (free) It's Memorial weekend so I won't hear from them...

I did try that didn't help. Torque Conv. is locked up. Will drive weakly after resting. New Trans in future. Starting post for recomendations

Truck surged at stoplight drove to parking lot fine, idled normal and I shut it down. Restarted normally and will die when shifted into gear. Revving doesn't help. Cycled key- Po 1492 ( amb/batt temp volt too high) Po 1693 (compainion code) P done no ECM code went to mileage. Why 1693 then? I...

I've just thrown same code. subscribing. I don't get anywhere on my searches. Am I using the search on the home page wrong, is there another search. fmj is cables the wires?

I've searched some of these sights- prices aren't updated and are much more expensive. I have ordered and been told they can't sell it at listed price online.

My dog broke my cupholder and have searched several junkyards in several states to no avail. Im looking for a suede colored cupholder does anyone know where I might find one?

jdross440 those are the mirrors on my 2000, not in photo. I posted in earlier.

Thanks for the responses. I do think I'm getting decent mileage but we all want more, especially with the godsend mileage some post - usually 5 and 6 speeders. My 93 was a 3. 54 and I towed a 6-7000lbs ball hitch getting same mileage as new set up, 12 tow 16 livin', but towing twice the weight...

This is my second Cummins Ram Auto, the first being a 1993 12v Auto 4-Speed no lock-up converter. I towed in OD no problems. My new 2000 has the lock-up converter for OD I have always been under the impression that you don't tow locked up or you will burn out the trans. So I don't and my mileage...

Just did an upper ball joint on my '00. Dodge doesn't replace upper ball joints they replace the upper control arm- $400 plus labor $775. You can get an upper ball joint from a parts store for $100-200 and then hammer out the old one and get an alignment. Dealer price $585.

Thanks posters, I got my truck a year ago with the Banks and Jasper trans already. After buying the truck the original owner looked into gear splitters and Banks, went with Banks and 3 years later a Jasper trans with 5 pinion overdrive plantary, direct clutch thrust plate, no waffle plate, a 5...

Just got my welcome kit and FAQs. Says exhaust brakes are not recommended on autos and refers to issues not in digital copy(24, 36 and 55 is there but no answers. I tow a 14,000lbs fifth-wheel, want better control in the mountains. I planned on an exhaust brake and they seem to be available for...
