    Southbend G56-OFEK

    What makes the DDs so noisy? Could a change in transmission operating fluid help quiet the noise? Say from the stock ATF4 to a Penzoil Syncromesh or Royal Purple full synthetic (maybe even blend a little Lucas oil in there for some additional viscocity at high temps)? Thanks.

    Dual Mass Flywheel Failure can cause catastrophic failure.

    HHhuntitall... I have 83,000 miles on my stock 2009 Dodge 6. 7 G56 DMF clutch (my truck is 4WD). I do not tow excessively, but I drive my truck pretty hard (at least that is what the old man says on the occasion he rides with me). For approximately 3 months, I have been slowly trying to figure...

    Southbend G56-OFEK

    I just spoke with a man named Jeremy at TDS performance. Said he had installed approximately 200 SB clutches in various Rams over the years. He recommended, for a stock truck, if it would remain stock forever, possibly going with the organic or organic HD clutch. However, if I could pony up...

    Alternator Advice -HELP!

    Removed the alternator and had it tested at the auto parts store. ALTERNATOR FAILURE was the machine's diagnosis. Not a shop, dealer, nor auto parts store in town had one available. So, I think I may order one offline. I saw where JFought recommended Mean Green, however, looking at their website...

    Alternator Advice -HELP!

    Batter connections = excellent in my opinion. Nice and tight, no wiggle. The passenger side battery has very very slight corrosion on the positve terminal lead. I just replaced these batteries 2,000 miles ago (the batteries I replaced were the OEM). Voltage differentials (readings gathered...

    My Truck: 2009 – 2500 – 6. 7 – Manual Transmission – Completely Stock I purchased my truck, brand new. Transmission was extremely tight until about 10,000 miles. I’m approaching 50,000 miles, and the transmission seems a little more loose than I’m comfortable with, having driven a 1995...

    Carli Suspensions

    Thinkin' about purchasing and installing the Carli Starter System suspension leveling lift/kit on my 2500.
