While under the vehicle working on something unrelated my mechanic found a trans fluid leak from one of the hard lines going to the transmission. Got there and he showed me where it was leaking. Where can I find a set of those, or is it something I should go back OEM if possible? I want to...

After many years I've started the slow process of researching the new trucks. Being a Dodge/Ram guy I wanted to start here first. I want a bit more capacity than a 2500, so the 3500 it is. I want a crew cab, long bed, and apparently a dually. I am surprisingly torn on the option of the diesel. I...

Over the last few months my truck has mostly been at the transmission shop that rebuilt it. It started slipping the clutch in the torque converter and wouldn't stay locked up. They ended up rebuilding the torque converter and checking everything else out. When I picked it up and drove home the...

After some research here I see that everyone's favorite is the max brake......which doesn't exist any longer for purchase. What is an acceptable choice. I understand that there are differences in actuation and such, just looking for the best option. I have a 21' dual axle tilt trailer, a dual...

I recently had the system checked and re-filled with refridgerant and a leaky valve was replaced at the same time. Having been without A/C for a while I notice that when at idle, not moving the a/c goes to pot. As soon as the vehicle starts down the road at anything other than a crawl it cools...

I posted in the 911 last week about some intermittent dead pedal issues I was having traveling from Rapid City, SD to Kansas City, KS. I found a shop that was able to look at it, and lo and behold..... nothing. It never threw a code, never acted up... . nothing. The only thing they did was...

I have an '01 that is now carrrying a slide-in camper around the country. On the way from Rapid City, SD to Kansas City, Ks yesterday we started having the occasional dead pedal. The engine seemed to go to idle put never cut out. I at first thought it was the cruise, but after taking it off...

I have noticed recently that my high beams come on whenever they feel like. Even if I don't have the lights turned on. This leads me to believe that the stalk switch is probably the culprit. Does anyone know if this is seperate switch or if it will take replacing the whole stalk assembly? At...

I have acquired (legally) another s-300 based turbo recently. It has a wildly changed exhaust housing used for testing. I need to know if I can use some of the larger turbine/compressor wheels along with a new exhaust housing to be a big brother to my current turbo for towing purposes...

I am going with a friend to bring back a 24' camper that he has used for his second home due to work. Tires and all mechanicals have been taken care of. My questions relate to a weight equalizing hitch. I have ZERO experience with one. This is a one way pull back home. The weight should not be...

Have been driving it for a couple of weeks now with the rebuilt transmission. Have found other problems because this trans is STOUT:eek: Shifts are firm without being a hammer, will tow in OD now without complaints, handles the weight without slipping, am absolutely loving this. My mileage is even...

Just some thoughts since I finished my turbo/intake/exhaust install. First and foremost, I'm glad its done. The term 'bolt-on' should be removed from any and all sales literature. I at times am a perfectionist, but will settle for it fits OK. The turbo drain had a bend that interferred with the...

Did some more looking under the hood, the studs could be fine, but should they be threaded into the turbo? I ask because the bolts are on the ex man. side on top. On bottom the bolts are on the turbo side and the studs are threaded into the exhaust manifold. This means that either the turbo is...

When I put my new charger on, is it best to replace the studs or are the originals still fine to use. Any input would be appreciated. Also, if I need new ones, where is the easiest place to find them? Thanks, Shea

Just received my Smarty yesterday. Loads very quickly. My question is where can I get information explaining what all the new options do concerning the timing, duration, etc. I probably understand the basics, but would rather have a more in-depth idea of what I might or might nor be doing with...

Just wondering, but do I need to replace the turbo-to-exhaust bolts when using a new turbo. Haven't seen this anywhere. Thanks, Shea

On the way to work this morning got a great big surprise. At light throttle when it shifts into OD it wants to shudder like it is downshifting. The engine revs slightly then it settles back. Once I am going 55+ it seems ok. It usually shifts into OD at 45 with little throttle input. When I came...

Last night my check gauges light came on as I got home. I didn't see any difference and all seemed to be in the normal range. This morning, everything good until a couple of miles down the road, the light comes on again and the o-p drops to nothing. I assume(not the wisest thing to do), that...

A couple of months ago replaced LP-VP-injectors, buttoned it all up and it started right up after bleeding the lines. Now, if the engine has worked hard and built up some heat when I go to start it up it stumbles for a few seconds. Even then not all the time:confused: While it runs, its great...

Am getting ready to install FASS and will be bypassing the LP and FF. Can the filter housing and LP be removed with no consequences? I am concerned only because of electrical gremlins that could arise due to the fuel heating element/WIF element not being hooked up. Any info will help. Shea
