    Manual Conversion, grumble grumble

    It started life as an automatic. Maybe it identified as a manual and it found a sympathetic owner...

    Manual Conversion, grumble grumble

    All emissions are in tact. I’ll run down to the dealer tomorrow and try that.

    Manual Conversion, grumble grumble

    Not sure. There is a 4 position selector knob that’s not connected to anything, so I assume it had a tuner previously. The previous owner traded this truck on a one year newer mega cab, so I imagine he took the tuner with him. Most definitely. I saw the tow/haul button and questioned its...

    Manual Conversion, grumble grumble

    So... The truck I just bought was converted from an automatic to a manual without me knowing ahead of time. Evidence: Tow/haul button Toggle switch on the dash with constant hot that turns on the reverse lights. A bundle of plugs in a plastic bag next to the transmission. It seems noticeably...

    Weird Air Rushing Sound While Exhaust Braking.

    The smoke only occurs when the truck is cold, so I'll have to wait until the morning most likely.

    Weird Air Rushing Sound While Exhaust Braking.

    I tightened the crap out of the band clamp. The nut moved almost 1/2". No more air rushing while the exhaust brake is applied and 36 psi of boost instead of 32 now. Now to find that pesky leak...

    Weird Air Rushing Sound While Exhaust Braking.

    Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t able to crawl up there this morning. I’ll look at it this afternoon while I’m putting the quick release grill parts on from Geno’s. That’ll give me somewhere to stand!

    Weird Air Rushing Sound While Exhaust Braking.

    Well, the smoke seems to be something dripping onto the manifold or turbo when cold. It burns off during warmup. The drip is slow enough, or non-existent, that it doesn’t leak while hot. I’ll look in the morning to see if I can locate the source.

    Weird Air Rushing Sound While Exhaust Braking.

    Just picked up a new to me 2015 3500 dually with a little over 100k on the clock. This isn't my first rig, but I've been without a truck for almost two years thanks to... circumstances. When the exhaust brake kicks in, there's a large air rushing sound, like lots of air leaking from somewhere...

    A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. He seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the...

    AC Compressor Clutch Engaging On Its Own

    I've never heard that; that's interesting. Most if the time the selector is on full dash though.

    AC Compressor Clutch Engaging On Its Own

    Signature Truck: 2014 Ram 3500 10,000 miles. Outside temp anywhere from 40° to 70°F. It's happened several times, but tonight I verified the AC Compressor was actually spinning. Driving along in my automobile... and it starts getting colder. This seems to occur within a few minutes of climbing...
