Just found this on the web: http://autoindustrynewsletter. blogspot.com/2013/03/cummins-v8-is-still-in-development.html. Cummins is still working with OEMs to sell the 5L V8 diesel. I wonder who?

This is an interesting paper written on the development of a new small turbo family for the Cummins ISF engine family. http://www.holset.co...

In this short Q&A, Marchionne sounds like a 'no nonesense' guy. He's going to introduce diesels into the markets starting with the Grand Cherokee in 1st quarter of 2013 and work their way down into the market based on American acceptance. He didn't think they (diesel engines) would reach the...

How long do the starters last on the 3rd Gens? I live FL and don't put alot of stress on mine (50K). My FIL lives in TN and he's replaced his twice in 100K. I was surprised when he said he doesn't plug the truck in in the morning. If he did, I think his starter would last longer. What do you think?

Is the owners manual incorrect when it states "Lubricate outer tie rod ends" without the '(4x4)' specific reference? I've done a search already and found one reference in 2005 to 2003 4x2 that stated there are no lube points. Is this still the case?

Alright, I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but how do I get the search function to work in the digital magazine? Pressing 'S' doesn't do anything. I've used EI, Mozilla, Chrome,... no difference. Thanks

Has anyone used this transmission controller from ATS? I saw the ad in TDR Issue 73 on page 65. It says that it can be used with the stock transmission. Co-Pilot - 2007. 5-2009. 5 DODGE 68RFE, Part# 601-900-2326 Copilot For Dodge - ATS Diesel

Just passing along some info and a picture. I added the FASS Platinum 95 GPH pump/single filter to the truck 15K miles ago. I left the w/ OEM filter inline. This is my 1st fuel filter change since then. I am using the Parker/Racor S3204S 2 micron vacuum filter on the FASS (it came w/ the FASS)...

I'm just curious. Where is the Cummins 6. 7L block (that's used in the RAM) manufactured? I think its manufactured at different sites around the world, just wanted to know where our Ram engine blocks were manufactured.

Cummins is doing development work with Nissan. Look at slide 24 in the link here http://www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/pdfs/merit_review_2011/adv_combustion/ace061_ruth_2011_o.pdf. Their mule was a 1/2 ton Titan. The engine is a 2. 8L (171 cu-in) 4 cylinder diesel. From TDR Issue 72...

I have a 2008 Ram 3500. In the past 3 years, I've had 3 incidents of a no start condition which can be attributed to drained batteries. The 1st case can be explained away because of a draw from bad wiring on a trailer. The 2nd & 3rd cases I can't explain. The truck sat in the driveway without a...

This is from the DoE site. It is a long read, but has interesting info on the latest diesel technology: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/pdfs/diesel_technical_primer.pdf

Just got P2580 tonite. We're leaving tomorrow nite for a week with the horse trailer in tow. Does this code signal the end of our plans or can it wait? I pulled some data with a code reader. Calc Load 28. 6% ECT 188 F MAP 47. 2 inHg Eng RPM 1878 Veh Speed 34 mph IAT 149 F MAF 14...

Motor Trend has done a small comparison of the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and the 2011 Ford F250. Initial testing with no load, they stated there wasn't much difference in mileage 16. 4 mpg for Dodge and 16. 6 for Ford. Then the mileage goes up when they tow with a load. Strange. They state the towing...

Is there any maintenance required for a 2008 3500 Ram 4x2? This is from the owners manual: At Each Oil Change ² Change the engine oil filter. ² Inspect the exhaust system. ² Inspect the brake hoses. ² Inspect the U-Joints (if equipped) and front suspension components. ² Check the...

See the link to PickupTrucks.com for the story. It sounds promising. I think it would be a coup for Chrysler if they offered a5. 0L light duty diesel in the 1500/2500/3500 trucks. Chryler and Cummins Restart Light-Duty Diesel Discussions - PickupTrucks.com News

Can the new fuel filters from the 2010 trucks be retro fitted to the 2007. 5 thru 2009 trucks?

I have purchased the FASS Platinum 95 GPH pump/single filter (P-D07-095G). You'll notice it is not using the Donaldson filter. It uses a Parker/Racor filter/separator. It says "2 micron" (don't know if it's nominal or absolute), Model B32004S and it's for vacuum/suction side use. Bowl is...

I know what the warranty states (Fed & Ca - from 5yr-8yr/50k-100K, very convoluted). What is the actual/observed life span of components in the emissions system listed below? There should be enough high mileage vehicles out there to get an estimate. ERG (Exhaust Gas Recirc) valve EGR...
