when you find a solution to your problem, i would love to know. i have been fighting the same problem for over a year. i can not figure it out as well. i have checked everything from motor back and all looks good. i have started to consider front end. my ride is a 00 3500 4by. i posted the...

diesel freak if you look back at some of my old posts you will see i had/have the same problem. dealer has over time replaced trans, tc, transfer case, entire dana 80, and i hope is now getting ready to replace hanger joint and driveshaft. i have laid under my rig and many others trying to find...

just a reply to let all know that the problem was loose u-bolts. can you believe that. this was even after the 5star replaced my dana 80 the springs were not torgued down enough. looks like they just took the nuts down with an air wrench and did not wrench them down the rest of the way. it took...

folks, thanks for taking the time to reply. i must clearify a little - the truck is bone stock- no bombs yet, and yes i do still have the wrap. i have looked at steves bars and the fab. bars and am impressed with both. the problem is that i feel i have to find what is causing the loading and...

does anyone else experience a spring binding and unbinding during launch? i feel it in the seat of pants when taking off and can see the hogshead rise a little, then it feels as if the springs unloading and set for the ride. i doubt it is hurting much, but it is the most annoying thing to try...

turbo terry- same problem on mine. i insisted that the main seal must be leaking, cummins stated that when rear main went you will know it. all my oil accumulated around the inspection plate and caused the illusion of seal leakage. reroute your blowby hose and clean up and under with a good...

how much fluctuation in dipstick levels are most of you seeing between oil changes? lets say roughly between every 3000 to 5000 miles. my 01 usually goes a quart low after 3000 to 4000 miles this would have to include that wonderful blowby to.

folks, thanks for the help. i will be contacting steve. now maybe i am on the right track for keeping my hogshead from looking towards the sky with every take off.

does anyone have a source or recomendation for a simple yet good quality set of traction bars or ladder bars for a 00 3500 4by? i want to keep the hogshead from rolling so much on take off. thanks.

driiveline clunk cont. jandr, i rarely hear an actual noise when this happens. it simply feels like there is about 2 inchs of slack in the driveline that is taken up everytime i take off. i feel like it is in the discs of the limited slip but can not be sure yet. as you have seen in my other...

work 2much, thanks for the reply, motor mounts seem fine. still feels like some kind of driveline slack. one of those things where you ride around with feet on the pedals and head hanging out door looking under truck. guess i will find it one day.

Once again I find myself looking to the other owners out there for help with a problem I am having. I have a 00 3500 with around 24,000 miles, 4x4. When I start from a dead stop it feels like the drivetrain is playing catch up with the motor etc. it does not clunk or make any type of...

as far as specs i would like to know what has worked best for others as well. are there any recommended bore sizes? i had read somewhere about 3/16.

are there any gains to a stock rig by doing the banjo bolt rebore? if dd1's are going to be installed is it beneficial to do so or is this mod only needed when a higher flowing aftermarket fuel pump is being installed?

thanks folks for the info and sharing you experience(s). i will contact DTT and try to put an end to my mess. hope i may assist you sometime.
