Does this unit work with the factory steering wheel controls? I just replaced my radio with a refurbished factory unit because I was having trouble finding a unit that worked with the steering wheel controls. I don't guess it would have been a big issue to not have them.

Payment sent for the Smarty. Thanks. Good luck with your new truck.

Hi, I saw you posted you had these in the 3rd gen forum. Do you still have the Smarty? I just picked up another 04.5 and will need a Smarty.

Congrats on a nice looking truck. With the added wheelbase I bet it is a great highway cruiser.

Thanks for the response. Doesn't look like I'll be picking up new hydros.

I have a 1998 12V with a NV5600. The transmission was installed when I got the truck so I am not sure of what clutch is in it. The clutch holds well, no slipping. I am pretty sure the hydros are stock a stud pedal feels like any other 2nd gen I have owned. Would replacing the hydros to an upgraded set...

I agree. 2 guys that have done this many many times and work well together makes a huge difference. They had the gasket changed in 2 hours and the rest of the time we worked on removing the veggie oil system from my truck. I didn't mean to hijack the thread. To the OP, good luck with getting...

To the OP, where are you located? I had Jim Jessup do mine about a month ago. He had it done in about 2 hours. He is in IN. If you are close it might be worth your time to check into it. Jim usually uses factory Cummins parts but he uses a different gasket for the tappet cover. He laid it out...

Good luck with your sale. Just wanted to mention Kernersville Dodge. They had some 2014 manual white trucks. Their website is www.31dodge.com.

I think you will be happy with the Johnny Joints. I've been using them since the Currie's came out with them years ago. The JJ's are less harsh than a standard rod end when used in control arms. Plus the JJ's are rebuildable if you ever get enough wear to notice.
