    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) surpentine belt wear

    re: I was certain that belt life was way too short but figured I'd confirm. I don't think I've ever checked the bonded rubber ring you mention. Thanks, I'll take a look at that and maybe look everything over again.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) surpentine belt wear

    What kind of life are you getting out of you surpentine belts? The one I replaced yesterday, before the visit from hurricane Arthur, had about 9,000 miles on it. The previous one didn't last that long. They get worn frayed spots on the cab side. I checked the pulleys with a straight edge then...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tie down points in 2001 dually

    I couldn't use those tie downs with my bed liner. Losing the linet wouldn't hurt my feelings much though.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tie down points in 2001 dually

    tie down points About how far in from the front and side bed walls? I am thinking that if I have some measurements I can cut a hole in the bed liner.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tie down points in 2001 dually

    I have a 2001 2wd extended cab dually. I bought the truck with a tool box and plastic bed already liner installed. Since the gooseneck hitch and electrical trailer hookups are involved; it is too much trouble to answer this question by pulling the liner out. I have a need to know if here are...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What should gauges read & my rant

    Seems to me that regardless of one's understanding of the readings, be that person a diesel engineer or the opposite, there is value in seeing if something is different (reading) and getting it looked at if it is. If that weren't true there would be no reason for the truck to come stock with a...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What should gauges read & my rant

    I got the 01 3500 back from the shop and the new electronic fuel pressure, boost and transmission temperature (read off the line type) are installed. I know that this question has been asked here but I cannot find the answer for a stock truck. Now that I have the gauges, what should normal...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Question for 2001 owners with A pillar gauges

    The truck came back from the shop Thursday and it all fit.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Question for 2001 owners with A pillar gauges

    I should have mentioned that mine is the three gauge style. The mount I received seems to have the tweeter hole in about the same location as in Gary-K7GLD's picture. That just doesn't seem like it would line up. Also, did your mount have just a hole for the tweeter or was there the plastic...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Question for 2001 owners with A pillar gauges

    I just got my new gauges and A pillar mount from Genos for my 2001 dually. I went out to the truck to see if the pillar cover lined up okay. It is hard to tell since the pillar cover goes so far down. For sure the truck's tweeter speaker is a good bit bigger than the hole in the gauge mount...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) trans. temp gage setup advice

    After a long time consuming the tons of gauge information out there, I have finally decided to add a 0-35 psi boost, 0-30 psi fuel pressure, and a 100F - 250F transmission temperature gauge to my '01' 3500 dually. I am about to place my order with Genos and I have two choices of how to pick up...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Gauge alternatives

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Gauge alternatives

    I just hit 60,000 on my 2001 3500 dually. I have been back and forth way too long trying to decide between gauges vs. the computerized devices. I contacted Edge twice to ask this question but never got a reply, plenty of spam though. Common wisdom here and elsewhere seems to be that the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) transmission band adjustment

    The 60,000-mile service on my 2001 dually recommends a band adjustment. My normal habit is to not argue with the folks that built the truck but this is different. I almost feel like leaving well enough alone is better in this case. I wonder if those of you that had the adjustment done are glad...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Lift pump experience

    ALoehr, I like to save money but I wonder how I will feel on a Sunday evening five hours from home pulling a draft horse trailer when the gauge tells me I have problems. Maybe your saying it gives enough advance notice that I wouldn't have that issue. If that is the case I may rethink my plan...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Lift pump experience

    It doesn't take much time reading TDR magazine or on the Web to figure out a lift pump replacement is a top priority. I have a stock 2001 3500 that I bought with 53,000 miles. I have about 56,000 now and I don't want to wait too long to replace the original lift pump. I read a magazine ad for an...

    Normal MPG?

    I got a good laugh out of the mpg lie comments, because it is so true. It reminds me of when I'd listen to these guys say how long they took to make the run from NC to NYC. It was always these crazy low times. I'd made that trip and past NYC to New England tons of times, and when I'd say how...

    Normal MPG?

    I see that many of you get significant variations in mileage as well. That is good to know since it tells me that what I am seeing is normal. Fox, I am not really sure if I have been driving more aggressively but I am going to try and pay better attention to that. As far as gauges go, there...
