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.

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...

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...

2009 - 6. 7 with the G56 transmission My clutch is on its last leg, need to replace very soon. My post is with regard to clutch replacement suggestions. I do not tow very often, but when I do, I tow 13,000 lbs. worth of tractor and trailer, or , 10,000lbs of Air Stream. Currently, my 6. 7 is...

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...

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...

mwilson, Thank you for your response. Below I have provided answers to your questions, with additional thought on my behalf. I am not 100% sure the alternator has failed. However, if you could list other possibilities for experiencing low battery voltage after driving for approximately 1...

Straight from shop manual: EXHAUST BRAKE FUNCTION The VGT works in conjunction with the engine and the transmission to provide an integrated braking system used to help slow the vehicle. This is commonly called exhaust braking. This braking power is achieved by modulating the turbo sliding...

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...

Thinkin' about purchasing and installing the Carli Starter System suspension leveling lift/kit on my 2500. Reading their website, it appears that installing that suspension kit will improve ride and drive quality (both on and off road) and that the only "negative" result, from a large capacity...

I am about to buy some new tires for my rig (2009 Ram 2500 - 6. 7 Cummins). OEM are 265/70R17. I was wondering what the manufacturer’s Max. tire width is for my stock rims? I’m going to go with the Nitto Terra Grapplers, but cannot decide whether to purchase 285/75R17 E or 305/70R17 E. So I was...
