    Low Idle In Reverse

    TransEngineer, I was was hoping to hear from you! For some reason I don't remember my '09 dropping to such a low idle while in reverse. But, now that you mention it, I do recall the delayed shift from 5th to 6th. Once again, I'm grateful for the wisdom that can be found here on TDR. Best set...

    Low Idle In Reverse

    Hello everyone, I have a 68RFE and 82,000 miles on the odometer. When I put the truck into reverse the idle RPM drops from a steady 1200 RPM to about 1050 RPM. Also, this condition occurs every time with the exception of first thing in the morning if the ambient temperature is in the mid to...

    Severe Shake in Right Turn

    Update: The technician examined the u-joints and hub bearings and all looked well. Much to my skepticism, recommended doing the upgrade to the T-style steering. I now have a new track bar, tie rod, links, dampener and ball joints. They also performed an alignment. The original syptoms seemed to...

    Severe Shake in Right Turn

    Hopefully the dealership will do a through look see. The truck has 75K miles now, of which 5K are mine; I'm the second owner. Are the factory hubs and bearings quality parts worthy of the job or should I take look at aftermarkets like ranger suggested? I'm trying to keep my costs down. Also...

    Steering Kit

    I'm at the same cross roads with my '08. She's headed to the shop tomorrow for new u-joint, ball joints and possibly new bearings. So I too am considering doing the upgrade while they're working on the front end. Is the upgrade a true improvement and does it offer a better ride or handling?

    Severe Shake in Right Turn

    Thanks for the input. I've made other arrangements for today's trip. No point in risking further damage. I'll keep everyone updated on what the shop comes up with.

    Severe Shake in Right Turn

    Hey everyone, I've suddenly got a severe shake felt in my steering wheel while making a right turn, and to a lesser extent a left turn. It is most prominent while making a turn at speed. Based on the searches I've made of our forum it sounds like I might have a u-joint that has, or is failing...

    Diesel Deep Clean

    I know, I know, we've had more than our share of 6.7L additive threads, but I just recently stumbled upon a new (to me) product: Lucas Oil Diesel Deep Clean. Among other things, Lucas Oil claims the their Diesel Deep Clean aids in cleaning and reducing the amount of carbon and soot buildup in...

    Be Careful on the Road - Look Out for the Other Guy!

    In my state, New Mexico, drunk driving is an epidemic. Add to that all the texters, iPodders, underinsured and uninsured and it's a frightening place to be. Be alert, be cautious and be smart. Stay safe! GCP

    20,000 Mile Report

    Thank you for the report. Is that mileage hand calculated or is it the truck's calculations? Also, is that your average for the trip or for the vehicles in service mileage? GCP

    100,000 my truck has reached this milestone.

    Very good sir, thank you. Glad to hear your '08 is solid and reliable.

    100,000 my truck has reached this milestone.

    What was the advantage to sticking with the old style versus upgrading to the T style steering?

    100,000 my truck has reached this milestone.

    Congratulations on 100K! What kind of troubles have you run into mechanically, and I assume you've been religiously maintaining the truck? Safe travels,

    Camper Recommendations

    I have owned both an Arctic Fox travel trailer an an Open Range 5th wheel. I enjoyed both units while I owned them. If I had to make another purchase, and I will in the future, I would probably scoop up another Arctic Fox. They're great quality, all season trailer that is perfect for the long...

    Not an emergency yet,but 5 MPH in 150 miles and its 195 miles back east to the dealer

    Bob4x4 I wish there was one of you at every Ram dealership! When I recently had a CEL on a road trip you were helpful in suggesting possible causes. And luckily for me, the dealership I stopped at bent over backwards (like yours) to get my truck fixed up and underway pronto. Im glad you made...
