Am I crazy or does my manual (on service shedule A) not mention changing either one of the differentials' fluid, the transfer case's fluid, or the transmission fluid for at least the first 100k miles? Service schedule B clearly shows it at 15k intervals for the diffs. I've read that a lot...

Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum: 37k on a truck that doesn't seem extreme use (I can see your eyes rolling now) or very much towing, and the carrier bearing is toast (I think). It squeaks like crazy. From my last post, I learned that Quad 4x4 carries replacement carrier bearing...

All: Recently, I have had an audible squeaking noise coming from around the rear driveshaft area of my 05 3500 SRW. This occurs primarily when it is under load. I crawled under the truck and the squeaking seems to be coming from the "carrier bearing" (this may be the wrong term as I am just...

Have started using my Pacbrake (installed about two months ago) more and more now that it is getting colder here in Indiana. However, once the temps dropped into the 20's, my Pacbrake will NOT come on until after the engine has been running awhile! I thought it was surely something faulty in...

Came across a post the other day but now I can't find it after searching for an hour or two. Has anyone upgraded to silicone hose "couplers" (from the intercooler [IC] to the IC tubing and from the IC tubing to the intake) by making their own from hose purchased at McMaster-Carr.com? If so...

Spoke with Pacbrake the other day and they assured me that their exhaust brake was compatible with MY2005 trucks' factory high idle feature. The past two times I've started my truck in below-freezing temps, I first started the engine (after waiting for grid heaters to do their thing), let...

Just wanted to congratulate the staff at TDR on another excellent calendar (not to mention the TDR issue)! The 2008 one looks better than ever (ok, so maybe my view is biased a little since my old truck made the October selection!)! Oo. Congrats to everyone whose truck made it! Does anyone...

Buffalo posted this a while back: "If you look under the turbo, you will find an oil drain tube. It connects to a fitting in the block. Look on the same side of the block & you will find what looks like a freeze plug. That can be pooped out and a fitting, from Cummins, can be installed for an...

Which port on top of the oil filter should I use for the supply on a Bypass oil filter system?? If I recall correctly, there are two on the third-gen trucks... . one towards the driver's side and one a few inches away towards the passenger side. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Prompt...

Has anyone seen any improvements (better turbo response) come about from wrapping their stock exhaust manifold with header insulation? Read about a guy that did this on an older 12 valve and he claimed to be able to tell a difference in the turbo response. Some of it seems a bit logical... if...

I was wondering if anyone could email (or fax, or even mail) me a set of instructions for the FS2500 set up? I am comparing it to the Puradyn setup in terms of hose routing, number of fittings and electrical connections, as well as the return line tap/location. Just send me a PM or post and I'll...

Another Bypass Question... ! I've been reviewing the past threads about bypass oil filters, and was heavily leaning towards the FS 2500 just because of the "built overkill and works well" general feelings that I got about the system. Of course, I checked out the Frantz (if I understand...

Has anyone tried custom wiring in a turbo timer that was manufactured for gasoline vehicles?? I have owned several other turbocharged cars in the past and have used (with good results) the $100 turbotimers... . afterall, they're fairly simple units that just have to be wired in correctly to make...

As it seems a lot of people are doing, I have also contemplated twins..... but have a few questions. Can anyone provide some more insight on some issues? I have a buddy with a 12 valve who is going to put an HX55 on top of his stock HX35 (i believe?) turbo... . and has been told by a...

Just wondering if anyone had an 05 model truck that didn't come with a cat from the factory? What was the first year that ALL trucks were equipped with a cat? Thanks!

Has anyone tried installing the Brite Boxes designed for the 2nd Gen trucks on a 3rd Gen? According to the literature on the BB website, the only issue may be a few false alarms (a. k. a. "Lamp Out"), which I already get thanks to Dodge's poor attempt at engineering a computer system for the...
