Only have 7k on them and they are very quiet all things considered. I pull a Montana 5th wheel and they performed perfectly on a 4800 mile trip...

    Nitto tires made by Toyo?

    While pricing a set of Nitto Terra Grappler LT295/70R17 tires with Discount tires the sales rep I was speaking to said that Nitto tires were made by Toyo! He said most people did not know this. I said I had hardly heared of Nitto , but that I knew the Toyo brand name meant high quality. Can any...

    Considering BFG AT 315/70R17 tires?

    I could use the help and advice from those who have experience with these tires. I have stock Michelin LTX A/S in 265/70R17 load range E and wanted a slightly taller tire rated E (no more than around 34. 5 inch OD). Can't find anything out there!. I contacted Tire Rack about the 315 BFGs and...

    Fuel Filter Drain Line

    A three foot length of 5/8 inch heater hose will slip fit over the existing hose. I used a small hose clamp to hold it in place. I have the drain end of the extension zip tied up out of the way toward the front bumper. It works great. I got all this info from TDR issue 45 (Aug/Sept/Oct 2004)...

    4" and 5" exhaust NOISE!~!!!

    In my opinion the only way to go is MBRP from Diesel Performance Parts out of Nashville, TN. I have their cat back 4inch single stainless pipe with a 5inch double wall 409 stainless tip. At normal loads it is only a little louder than stock, no drone!, and and when you put your foot into it the...

    Forged vs Cast Al wheels

    Are the forged Aluminum 17"x8" wheels new for 2005? I have a 2004. 5 3500 4wd SWB single rear wheel with the optional 5spoke 17x8 Al wheels, which I thought the 2004 brochure said were "cast"! The 2005 brochure says the wheels are forged, but they look the same as mine! Can anyone clarify if my...

    Amsoil or Mobil1? also when to start using

    I plan to switch over to Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5W-40 Synthetic at my next oil change at around 14K miles. It is endorsed by Cummins. You may want to try it. I picked it after looking at all the synthetic options.

    What synthetic oils are approved by Cummins for the 2004 CTD 600 ?

    Would like to know which synthetic oils meet Cummins specs and approved for the CTD 600engine? Would like to know product name and viscosity. For example Shell Rotella 5w40 synthetic meets CH4 but does not say CI4 as does their non synthetic Rotella T 15w 40. Also what are the AMSOIL specs?

From there they gave me a rail car number for UPRR and it went by rail to a yard near East St Louis Il. you can track it when it is on UPRR. From Illinois it went by...

    Tail Gate Load Rating?

    Does anyone know the load rating of the tailgate on a Dodge RAM heavyduty? I have a heavy Harley-Davidson (about 1000lbs with rider) and have been unable to find any specs from DC on the tailgate cable rating. I have seen cables break on older trucks. This could be a serious safety problem...

    600's on hold for exhaust clamp?

    I checked today, my truck is on a rail car in Texas, got UPRR car number etc. Both dealer and DC said there was no hold on it, I specifically asked the DC rep, and he said if there were any problems with mine his report would have indicated that. I find it hard to believe they would pull a truck...
