    What size nut on rear companion flange?

    I'm trying to change the rear diff seal on an 04. I took the driveshaft off and now am trying to find a socket to fit that big nut in there. 1 3/8 is to small and 1 7/16 is pretty loose. Must be metric but I don't know what it is. I think its either 35 or 36 mm. ??? And where would you find one...

    04 5.9 intermittently runs rough

    This problem is strange to me anyway cuz it is intermittent. It has only happened so far at idle or while driving slow speeds. Not just when its cold either but any time. The check engine light comes on and the engine will shake and carry on and then it clears up. The light stays on for a day or...

    Mechanically adjust your timing?

    I heard of a guy who says he mechanically adjusted his timing on his 04 and gained 4 mpg. Is this even possible?:rolleyes:

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Need Clock Spring

    Where do you find a clock spring for an 01 Dodge? It can be aftermarket. The dealer does not have them in stock until September but would like one sooner. Thanks

    03 Manual Transmission Ticking Sound

    This truck makes a ticking sound only in 5th and 6th gear. The noise was first noticed when letting off the throttle and coasting in gear but started doing it under heavy load also. It seems to be coming from the transmission. The mileage is about 180K. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Low power at startup

    When you start this 01 up and take off it has low power. It feels kind of like a flooded gas engine. If you put it in neutral, shut it off, and start it back this fixes the problem. Almost seems like it resets something. Any ideas what it is?

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Why Spongy Brakes?

    On a 1993 the rear brakes are adjusted but they still are quite spongy. It takes pushing the pedal pretty hard to get stopped. Any ideas why? Thanks

    New Case Puma Lineup

    I was just looking at Case's website and their Puma tractors. Noticed they have a 6. 7 in there and just wondered how close it is to our Cummins. They at least have used Cummins in the past right? They look like nice tractors with the CVT transmission in them.

    White Smoke Mean Bad Injector?

    My friend has an 04 that smokes white only at idle. A mechanic drove it and says there is nothing wrong with it. Is that true or could it be an injector failing? If an injector needs replaced he's thinking of changing all of them to the 50 hp Dynomite diesel ones for the 2 mpg increase. Good...

    Unusual Turbo Noise

    The truck is a stock 03 with about 150,000 miles. It was parked one day and the turbo sounded fine; the next day when it was ran it didn't. At about 2K rpm it starts sounding like a jet engine taking off is the way I heard it described. There is no difference in the performance though. He looked...

    What rearend in 04?

    My friend is looking at buying a 2004 Dodge 2500 but he is not sure what ratio rearend it has. It is not close by for him to look at so he was wondering if you can tell by the VIN or perhaps do all 04 trucks have 3. 73's?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 98 rv elusive oil leak

    We have a 5. 9 24 valve Cummins (of course) which splashes oil all over the engine compartment. We are stumped as to where it is coming from. You would think it is the air to air cooler. The inside of the fan shroud was covered and the fan was pushing engine oil onto the towed vehicle, thru the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Water Methanol Fuel Mileage Gains?

    Got a friend wondering what fuel mileage gains he would see if he installed a water meth kit on his 01 24 valve?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Injector Pump Going Out?

    I got a question for my friend on his 02 Dodge 5. 9L whether the injector pump is going out. He knew the stock lift pumps were weak so he put on a Fass lift pump 7,000 miles ago. The fuel pressure is good; 17 lbs. idling and as low as 9 lbs. full throttle. The problem is sometimes there is no...

    Oil Analysis Question

    My 05 has about 65,000 miles on it. I ran semi-synthetic Mystik 15w50 in it with 3,000 mile intervals until 55,000 miles; then I put in synthetic Schaeffers 15w40 for the last 10,000 miles. I just sent a sample in to Schaeffers and everything was normal except the copper was 184. Normal is 40...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Wanna trade mirrors

    My friend has an 02 with the stock "sport"? mirrors. They are electric and heated. He would like to get tow mirrors but the Dodge dealer told him you can't get electric and heated tow mirrors. Is this true? Anybody wanna trade their tow mirrors for "sport"? mirrors?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Boost Question

    My friend has a stock 02 5. 9L and pulling a load he can get about 28 lbs boost. Is this normal boost for a stock engine?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) transmission Upgrades

    My friend has an 02 5. 9L auto transmission and he's wondering what would be the first thing in the transmission to upgrade? It is stock but he just doesn't like how it pulls a load. After he upgrades the transmission he might get a programmer also. He was thinking of getting an ATS torque converter but then...

    Guess I'll Just Keep My Truck?

    I've been thinking of selling my 05 but I'm not sure if I will after all. With fuel prices and it not being a very nice riding family vehicle I decided to go back to the dealer where I bought it and see what it's trade-in value is. The salesman said if I would have brought it in a month ago it...
