My '08 6. 7 will sit for about 2 months in NJ (Jan & Feb) and in my past experience with diesels I have used fuel stabilizers. However, my owners manual states not to use any additives in the 6. 7 What are your recommendations?

Thanks That is the data I needed - thanks. I'll go with the 10 ga and save the 18/0 for still another project.

I need an extension cord for my portable macerator pump and 12 v air compressor. I installed a thru the hull 12 v marine receptical so I could do away with battery clamps. The equipment draws about 15 amps max each and the receptical connection to the battery will have a 20 amp fuse. I have a...

Just to further confuse the issue, I called my local Dodge dealer service dept today and asked how to identify TPMS. He said if the stems are rubber I don't have TPMS.

My '08 3500 SLT has rubber valve stems. Since these stems make it hard to check/inflate the tires (especially the inside duals) I want to change them to hard stems. Called the local tire shop and was told that since mine is an '08 it has a TPMS and the rubber stems can't be exchanged for steel...

I am researching aux fuel tanks. It seems that gravity feed is the preferred method of transferring fuel to the main tank. Somewhere I read that gravity feed can overflow the main tank. Can any of you using this setup relate your experiences?

heavydutyfd: Thank you, it works. If the truck is indeed locked with the Sentry key the alarm is also set. If I manually lock my keys (w/Sentry) in the truck the alarm should not be set and I can unlock the door with the off brand key. The lesson here is always lock the truck with the Sentry and...

When I tried the non-chipped spare key to unlock the door I had the ignition key in my other hand. The alarm went off (as I was afraid it might) and I hit the unlock button to silence it. I can't get the chipped ignition key much closer to the truck than that.

Figuring some day I might lock my keys in the truck I had Home Depot make me up a spare. I knew it wouldn't start the truck due to no chip. I just wanted a spare to hide somewhere that unlocks the door. Trouble is, it not only unlocks the door, the alarm goes off when the unlocked door is...

I am considering a portable 12v air compressor/inflator for the truck (65 psi) and trailer (80 psi) tires. Discounting the cheap (less than $40) ones and unwilling to spring for the $150+ ones, what would you recommend?

Update. I chose the Bak Flip folding cover for security. Some of the parts didn't arrive in time for my trip so the dealer overnighted a Truxedo soft cover. Nice cover - went on easily and had no leaks. When I got back from the trip the BakFlip parts were waiting so I removed the Truxedo and...

Is the factory exhaust brake on my '08 an engine brake (disables valves) or an exhaust brake? I had a Pac Brake in our old motorhome that sounded like sand in a coffee can. The brake in my '08 sounds like a Jake brake on a big tractor, only quieter. Don't get me wrong - I love the sound my truck...

I believe the term is "porpoising". With the expansion joints being the cause. Tried different speeds - no effect. Also the ride was very harsh.

We just experienced a miserable ride on I95 Northbound through SC and parts of VA (including the 295 bypass). According to the CAT scale weights we have a trailer pin weight of 4500#. This on a 33' fifth wheel with a gross weight of 11720#. I have another post seeking verification of this pin...

Weight concerns Weighed the truck ('08 3500 DRW, QC) w/o 5er: steer axle=4780# drive axle=3660# Gross weight=8440# Then hooked up the trailer and reweighed: steer axle=4800# drive axle=8160# trailer axle=7220# Gross weight, combined=20180# Doing the math the trailer sounds right at...

Two immediate changes I am going to make are replacing the flexible rubber valve stems and add mud flaps. The OEM rubber stems are too flexible to get a decent pressure reading (rear duals) or fill with air. I am thinking a bent metal extension for inside dual and short metal for outside...

Thanks for the tip on signature edit. Just how difficult is the install for the 3 guage kits?

Now that I have a truck I would put it in my signature - I just can't figure out how. My truck: '08 Dodge 3500 SLT, 6sp auto trans Quad Cab 8' bed DRW 4x4 (why don't we say 6x6?) 4. 10 rear w/anti spin That overhead tripple guage mount looks like just what I need - if it fits on a...

Which bedliners are best? I think I want a spray on and should get it done before the hitch is installed. There are several to chose from and prices vary. What do you recommend?

Now that I have my new truck (thanks to all of you for your advice) I want to protect the paint. Has anyone tried the 3M poly paint protection system. I guess it is large plastic sheets with adhesive on the back. I just know those DRW fenders and the hood will be targets. I looked up 3M paint...
