What kinda lube should I use for the seal before and after install?

Thank you so much for your info. I will look for a seal soon.

When I pull the driveshaft yolk out of the transmission, how much if any fluid is going to come pouring out? Do I need to drain first or is it going to be a little bit and just top off after the change? Thanks for your help.

So I parked my truck the other day for about 3 days while driving my other car. I noticed it was leaking transmission fluid on the ground. Parking it on the clean floor in my warehouse, I noticed it was creating a little "puddle" (a couple inches around). I noticed that the bottom of the...

Damn, someone has a good eye. That one is the old one. I now run a DTT Billet Shaft. I put it there to take to my shop, that was about 4 months ago. I never took it out, and now it kinda has become a conversation piece for anyone that rides in the truck. Stock = bad, Billet = good!

I will keep a look out for your truck. I pass over that bridge everyday from Ellenton. The matting that is on the truck was actually somewhat there, sorry for the misleading. The guy I bought the truck from got it off eBay, but it was applied over 1. 5 years ago, so it obviously is holding...

Just a quick tip, buy "dynamat" from eBay and not Dynamat from Circuit City or a sound shop. The stuff on eBay is just as good, but about 1/3 of the price. It just doesnt have the word Dynomat plastered on the silver lining.

Here are some pics of my Ram under construction. Its undergoing a complete interior "remodel. " I am adding the following items to the interior: -Sony CD Player Head Unit -Infinity Kappa Component Speakers (8 total) -MTX Thunder Amp -Bearcat Scanner -Cobra CB -2-way Remote Start Alarm...

I guess I just never paid much attention before. I can do 1600 if I let it, but I dont let it do over 1400 for any period of time.

New EGT Temps Okay. On the way home from the shop today I watched the EGTs almost all the way home. The normal EGT reached with moderate acceleration from a red light is about 1000-1200F. If cruising at 60 mph it reads about 750 or so, and if I give it mild acceleration, it will reach 1100-1200...

That is defiantely a fact. I can flood a 4-lane intersection in the snap of a finger. Lots and lots of smoke is a definant on my truck. I love it. I have never checked to see if it has no fuel plate, but I have a stock one sitting here that was given to me with the truck, and he said, no it...

The timing was set when I bought it, but he said it was set to 18. 5*. That could attribute to it. Should I pull off the cover to check if it really maybe does have a plate, if it does, I would be astonished, as it is already a quick truck.

Not sure. It may just be a combination of the springs, valves, thicker head gasket, etc... If not, then I do not know. I am happy with the EGTs on my truck. I can make them see 1250 or so with no problem if I get into it, but in normal driving it will rarely see more than 900F in stop go...

I rarely see over 1200. I saw 1425 once, it was on a run to 130mph, but it was only for a second. Once it hit that, I let off. At a normal no load cruise at 80mph on the interstate it cruises at about 750F. I dont think i should run into any issues. I might get a fuel plate to install for towing.

I am assuming that towing 3000# through Florida and southern Georgia will not be an issue, right? I am towing a 6x12 enclosed trailer with a 4 wheel and equipment to Georgia, not even up north to the mountains. Think my truck will suffice with this trailer weight?

I was going to use a fan from the local speed shop. They have then for $75, and they are powerful as hell. I used two on a guys Honda when I did his engine swap for him. So if that is solved, is idling still an issue? If so, what kind of problems would I be seeing?

I was wondering if anyone has towed with a setup similar to mine and what kind of results you are getting. Are your EGTs high and what speed do you travel at when you are towing? Also, what is the weight of the trailer you were towing when getting these results. Thanks in advance for your...

I have been reading around about Cummins and their dislike for idling, but I have also be noticing that the people that are talking about idling their Cummins are doing it generally up north in the cold of winter. I am going to be taking some trips soon down here in Florida and will not be able...

Hello all- I had my first tire blow out "scary" experience today. I was traveling on the interstate at, well; let's say a little over the limit and the BLAM, there it went. Total disaster of a tire. The evidence in the pics are blowout damage, I didn’t even drive more than a few more second...

Luckily mine was a clear break and only sheered off all the teeth/splines on the shaft and hub. IT didn't take out anything else, I was very pleased. But if it broke in the middle of the shaft I was told it would have taken out the TC and potentially other things. ITs really hard to say until...
