I never felt like I was walking on eggshells with my ‘97 5.9!

Thanks. It’s not on there so hopefully I can breathe easier.

As a “new to me owner” I’m trying to understand if the TSB is for all 2022 3500’s with the AISIN? It doesn’t really say nor does it state specific serial numbers. Is this something they check proactively or am I supposed to use it till there’s a problem? Thanks.

Rhino-lined today. Back to the future I guess because I had my then brand new 97 Cummins Rhino’ed when it was “a new thing”. Tint tomorrow.

Flew into Cincinnati Friday and the dealer picked me up at the airport. By 4pm I was on the road back to Las Vegas and I arrived Sunday night around 9pm PST. Today I hooked up for the first time and I see I need a longer Blue Ox shank given how much higher the 3500 is compared to my lifted Tacoma.

Thanks. Finally got back from picking up the truck in Ohio.

Thanks again.

I think you’re right about the logo. Perhaps I’ll plastidip them like I did the chrome work on my Tacoma.

Yea I’ve been there with the vin but for some reason it just refers to the owners manual.

Goes with my trailer. Been looking for a long time and the color greased the skids with the wife!

After 14 years without a Cummins (‘97 Black Sport Longbed), I’m back!!! I’m picking up a very lightly used 2022 Tradesman, crew cab, shortbed with HO and 3:73 tomorrow and I’m curious as to towing capacity (bumper). I’ve seen a Ram corporate document that states the club cab shortbed...

Over a year ago I put on a stainless 4" exhaust on my truck. It sounded great (loud). After a year the honeymoon is over and I would like to quiet it down a bit w/o losing flow. Seems to me I recall a muffler suggested for this very reason on TDR but I cant seem to find it. A Walker model...

Well looks like the problem is solved. Spent the better part of the day yesterday screwing around with the different o-rings (three sets) on the Prime-Loc filter and gauge system and never got it to stop weeping fuel. Seems as soon as I screwed the gauge back on, it would pull apart the two...

Thanks for the ideas. Here are some responses, note, I am mechanically challenged beyond the obvious. 1. This problem started about three weeks ago when temps were still in the 50's and 60's. 2. I put a new fleetgaurd filter (prime-loc) this Sunday and did notice that there appeared to be...

Suddenly its become very difficult to get my '97 started. I mean very difficult, even in temps in the 50's. Today in the 30's and 40's I gave up. As a curiousity, I just plugged it in to see if it will startup easily later tonight or in the morning. Any suggestions as to what to look for...
