I know Cummins, or Dodge say my 12 Valve CTD Ram can go 8,000-11,000 miles between oil & oil filter changes, but is that true? Is every 3,000K much better? Is it bad for the engine? I have been changing my oil & oil filter every 3,000 miles since I bought the truck in June, but is it o. k to...

Thanks for all the help everybody... ... . sounds like it might be working right? (illflem, I'll check to see it it does cycle longer than 3 minutes, would that mean the sensor was bad?), and I'll check it with the ohmmeter after thanksgiving (it would be o. k to drive if the sensor was bad...

Nice pic. ! That came out great (and thanks for the advice). Is that picture from under the truck, looking up? Or from in the cab, looking down @ the shifter? Looks like you bend the tab out twrds. the trans. case or trans. housing, right? Oo.

Thanks illflem, I have noticed it only when the truck is sitting in park, Idling. I'll have to check it at speed... ... what does it mean if it happens above 17 mph? The grid heater seems to be working fine, is that sensor hard to replace? expensive? How can I check it?:rolleyes:

On my 96 Ram CTD. , I hear a "clicking sound" from under the hood, like a relay or something, and if my lights are on at night, they dim for 30-40 seconds, then I hear the "click" again, the lights get brighter again for 30-40 seconds, and then I hear annother "click" and they dim again for...

Thanks everyone, I think I'll try lifting the bed when I do it... ... Is it heavy? Can I use a jack(s) to lift it, or 2x4 as a "lever"? Or do I need a couple of stong guys? I only ask because I had a Hernia opp. last year, and I'm being carefull as I don't want to go thru that again! (that...

Hey Chris, thanks for the reply/advice. Don't you have to drop the gas tank? Is that the hardest part to the repair? :confused:

Sounds like the gasket made of Garlock is the safest bet..... where do I get a piece of Garlock? I don't want to loose all my oil! Oo.

My Gas Guage doesen't work on my 96 Ram CTD, it always reads empty no matter if the tank is full or not (the nedle nevers moves, always stays on empty). And when you start it, after about 20 seconds or so the low fuel light comes on, and stays on untill the truck is shut off. I heard this is...
