    Transfer case issues on 18 2500?

    Not easy to reproduce on smooth highways here, only happened at 80 mph after hitting highway bumps in another state whilst towing 10k and speed limit here is much lower- already stated or implied as such, however I should have used proper punctuation after this question so as not to confuse you...

    Transfer case issues on 18 2500?

    Couldn't feel it. the noise slowed with a reduction in speed and stopped whilst parked with the engine running. Sounded like a I was dragging a a heavy metal object. The grinding would continue if the truck was moving or, until the truck was shut off and sat for a few minutes. Like the transfer...

    Transfer case issues on 18 2500?

    I was driving across Idaho towing 10k when I hit a bump in the highway and a grinding noise started. I pulled over, got out and checked to see if I was dragging something or if there was obvious damage. Everything looked fine so I got back in, put it in gear and started driving and immediately...

    Oil Change Anomoly

    I'm going to go pull that stick and see if there is any play in it, doesn't make sense to me that i'm getting different readings.

    Oil Change Anomoly

    I let it drain for 3 to 4 hrs, it's was done with the engine hot and I did not notice it dripping anymore when I had installed the plug. I had read that it was 3 gals too, right now I am short 1 1/2 quarts because I drained it. I'm think maybe when I checked it the first time that maybe I had a...

    Oil Change Anomoly

    So, I just went to sniff the oil and noticed the level is at where it was after I dumped a quart and a half, how is this even possible? Is it being siphoned up into the filter after sitting and I just over filled the first time? Why wouldn't it have showed the very first check? No diesel smell...

    Oil Change Anomoly

    Before changing the oil on my 6.7 (first change on a 2018, no mods) I did errands and brought the engine up to operating temps, came home and dropped the plug immediately after parking and let the oil drain for a few hours while I worked on another project. Came back, dropped the filter, primed...

    A little GARMIN 55 DashCam Humor..........

    I've been driving with a dash cam for years now after I got T-boned by an off duty fireman with steroid rage who took off and drove several miles to an out of district police station, where the desk cop (his girlfriend) had a ticket and huge attitude waiting for me. The accident was his fault...

    Safe to drive this way

    I wonder what those pillar air bags would do upon deployment in an accident without the covers installed? They are designed to control the deployment I believe. Might want to have them on even if your liner is dropped? On my liner there was velcro that held it up, maybe you can use that if you...

    Safe to idle for 15-20 minutes at a time?

    As Retired Heavy Equipment Operator, we always left our diesel equipment and trucks (personal and company) running and idling around the clock in the winter (sub zero temps) and often had extended idles in the summer depending on the job without any damage to the engines. I understand the OP's...

    Dually Front Tire wear

    If what your referring to as chopping is the same as cupping, it is this is usually a sign of bad shocks or tire balancing issues, or a combination of both, not typically an alignment or balljoint issue. Being one tire would lead me to lean towards a balancing issue however it is entirely...

    T-51 Recall - again

    Just got rid of a ‘14 Tundra because Toyota delayed and played games over a cam cradle oil leak until my warranty ran out. A known issue for years that should be a recall, but isn’t. Also a quality control issue that has never been resolved by Toyota.
