My son and I went to the Detroit auto show yesterday and took my 06 truck. Just before leaving home, I engaged the wipers to clean the remaining snow off the windshield and nothing. There was some ice build-up around the base of the wipers so I got that cleaned off and the wipers began working...

I have a 16K double swivel, slider 5th wheel hitch in my shortbox truck. I was under the impression that, when the jaws closed around the RV pin, they would not release the RV pin until the release pin is pulled and even then, the load has to be taken off the RV pin to easily pull the release...

Please forgive if this is a stupid question but... I've seen a number of comments that band clamps are the preferred way to clamp exhaust system components together and I appreciate the ease with which exhaust systems can be taken apart when band clamps are used. But i don't understand how...

I recently discovered that I need a new muffler. My truck with just 30K miles was getting louder which wasn't so much of a bother but it began to drone at around 2100 rpm. This was hardly noticeable unloaded but with the trailer hooked up, it seemed like a lot more time was spent at around 2100...

There is some tape (appears to be white duct tape) covering what appears to be a strip of mastic. Both of these items run along the inside edge between the slide-out roof and the outside wall face as well as the outside edge between the roof and the side walls of the slide-out. This tape has...

I am having an issue with my HVAC system and am trying to understand what is going on. With AC on, the driver's side blows significantly cooler than the passenger side. This suggests that the refrigerant side of the system is fine but there is a potential problem in the mixing/distibution...

As you can see from my signature, I spend all my time on the 3rd gen forums but read the magazine cover to cover. My buddy has a 2000 2500 4x4 auto. He had the light throttle engine shutter, trans hunting issue. Spent the big bucks on a new APPS assembly based on a TPS trouble code but this...

a few little issues. I bought my Jr back in January and finally took the time today with a fully warmed up truck, to load it. Based on the recommendations here for better efficiency, I loaded level 2 at default and hope I can stay out of it to save the stock transmission. I noted that I had...

My left front headlight has condensate on the inside surface. Its pretty well always on the top surface and regularly on the front surface in front of the running light but rarely in front of the headlight. Is this a problem? If it is, any recommendations on how to fix. I have applied the 3M...

My truck is getting close to its 4rth birthday so I felt a brake fluid change was way overdue and judging by the deep gold colour of the removed fluid, it certainly was overdue. Having had many experiences in the past with broken bleeders (breaking them), I want to get to the bleeders as...

I finally got around to installing my gauges. I ordered the 3 gauge dash pod, Westech dual EGT/Boost, Westech Fuel Pressure, Westech dual temp gauges from Geno's along with the Vulcan hose kit, tapped banjo bolt and mounting bracket for fuel pressure, drill and tap kit for EGT and the hollow...

I wish to install a temp sensor on the Mag-Hytek diff cover and assume that the sender installs where the plug is now in the middle of the cover. If this is the correct location, has anyone had any interference with the spare tire during full rear suspension compression.

I recently received my gauge set from Gino's which included westech dual EGT/boost, westech fuel pressure, westech dual temp plus a 3 gauge dash pod. I am going to wait till warmer weather to install and will reread all of the gauge threads that I have seen to date. I got the billet fuel...

During a massive clean-up at work a couple of weeks ago, a collegue suggested that the 6. 7L fresh air intake system we were about to scrap, would likely fit in my 06 and provide some flow improvement. Although the air cleaner mounting points are the same and the turbo inlet OD is the same...

I just installed a Mag-Hytek deep pan on the trans in my 06 and decided to change the trans fluid at the same time even though I only had 10 K on the truck. I decided to do a complete flush using the trans pump as has been previously described and all went reasonably well. Initial step was...

I want to change the ATF in my truck as I have purchased a Mag-Hytek pan and want to make use of it and it seems appropriate to me to change at the same time. I went into a local performance shop and asked for a recommendation for a premium ATF fluid for a 48RE behind a Cummins. The response...

When I first got my white truck in March 07, I noticed more than a few tiny rust spots throughout the paint. During a recent wash job, I still saw these rust specks but a couple of spots had developed a rusty haze that wouldn't wash off even with some scrubbing. Are these spots contamination...

In searching past threads I don't recall seeing any posts on a down-pipe to turbo using a 4" sewer pipe. The company I work for makes the stock intake system. My collegue that helped develop the sytem with DCX for the 03 up indicated that the original production release system used a one...

My 06 3500 SRW rides high on the rear and even loaded with the 5er its still slightly high. i would like to lower the rear 1 to 2". With great interest, I read the threads about removing the 1 or 2 spacers between the axle and spring pack but alas my 06 does not have these spacers. Instead...

I would like to add an aftermarket cover for both the diff and trans but I'm torn between the sand-cast finish of the PML which will shed heat better but doesn't have the capacity versus the Mag-Hytek covers which increase capacity by quite a bit but the heat rejection might be hindered by the...
