This morning my pickup started normally, but after starting the Wait to Start light started flashing and the Check Engine light remained illuminated. I've tried several additional starts, driving around, and pulling the negative leads from both batteries--nothing solved it. Any ideas? Wouldn't...

My brother-in-law is looking for a 3rd gen in Minnesota. They just got a fifth wheel, and now need a tow vehicle. He bought a used Duramax and after a week it turned out to be a dud. The seller agreed and gave him his money back. I'm telling him to go Ram, I'm recommending one with the NV5600...

My '98 12V failed the new CA SMOG check. I called a local Diesel shop and they recommended the SMOG shop. It was a smog test-only shop. Before officially starting the test, I asked the technician/owner to unofficially check the smoke. We did a few snap tests, and he eventually said that it'd...

It's time for new tires. I like the Michelin tires currently on the truck and plan to stick with Michelin. Those of you running Michelin tires, what do you think of the differences between the LTX A/S and the LTX M/S? The only time the truck is off pavement is at the occasional RV park with...

I've spent the better part of the afternoon reading everything I could find in the forums when I searched for "Pilot Bearing. " Here's why. After fully engaging the clutch on the shift from 3rd to 4th while climbing a grade, I get a fairly loud growling noise when I get on the throttle. I have...

When I stand outside the pickup next to the driver’s side door, I hear a ticking noise. I suspect it’s coming from the lift pump and that the lift pump plunger is slapping against the cam lobe to produce the ticking noise. I don’t hear the noise from within the cab, and I don’t hear the ticking...

This is several questions all rolled into one post. Bear with me... My wife and I are planning our honeymoon for next summer. We want to tow our 25' travel trailer from Southern California up to Banff in Canada. We spent this past summer on the road with the camper, and we had a break down...

Twice today I noticed a very slight surge of the motor when I started climbing a moderate grade at freeway speeds. I noticed the first time it happened that the throttle pedal got stiff and took a lot of force to press farther for more fuel. The second time it happened, I didn't try giving it...

I've been reading about the NV5600 because I'm thinking about converting to that transmission down the road. In reading the posts, I saw that some members are adding an extra quart to their NV5600. I'm going to change the oil in my NV4500 in the next few days. Is there any reason that I should...

Check this out. I heard about it on another forum. It's pretty cool (even though it's not a CTD). Fourstroke Action: Micro Camera Shows the Workings of a Combustion Engine - Gizmodo

Hi, I'm new to the TDR, and I've been searching for information on the Mitchell Gear Splitter. I haven't found any threads on the topic, but I may not be the best at searching the forum, either. I recently bought my '98 12V. The previous owner took great care of it and I received his...
