    Thuren coils and shocks in 3500

    Installed a set of Thuren Fabrication front coils and their Overland shocks in my 3500 and the ride quality improvement was excellent. The Fox shocks were on back order, so I thought for the price I'd give their base shock a try and am not disappointed. Waiting for Carli to release their...

    Better output from projector headlamps?

    My 2014 is a big step forward from my 2004, except I see that Dodge still hasn't resolved the crappy low beam head lamp performance. I've got HID's for the high beams and the fog lamps, and plan to install a 20" LED in the bumper opening, but the projector low beam in my opinion in pretty weak...

    Rough idle and surging when cold

    I've had my 2014 for about 6 weeks now and overall I'm extremely happy with it. I bought in with just under 12000km on it, and now have almost 21000km. It has a few issues which by going through the forums look like they can be fixed with a programming update here and there. The one issue I...

    Motor is broken

    So its time for the motor to come out and see what happened to it, puffing white smoke out of the oil filler opening once its up to operating temperature. :{ I've already decided it going to get a pulse exhaust manifold while its out, was wondering on what else I should look at / upgrade while...

    Archived Bad fuel knock and blue smoke

    Bit of history first..... truck was making a fuel rattle when leaving from a stop and most times on tip in acceleration. Heard from many that FCA is a common problem for this concern, was making plans to get it done. Before I could replace it I did a really hard run on the truck, full throttle...

    Autometer sender for Quadzilla?

    I currently have an Autometer fuel pressure gauge, AND a Quadzilla railpressure gauge. I want to eliminate the Autometer and have both read by the Quadzilla. I spoke to QZ and the sending unit they used to use is no longer available, a single terminal sender that the ring terminal on my current...

    Grizzly Locker - anyone using it?

    I need some real user feed back on the Grizzly Locker. It looks exactly the same as a Detroit Locker, and my supplier says Detroit doesn't make one for the 11. 5 AAM axle. My factory posi is junk, just last Friday I got stuck in the back lot of my shop with the left front and right rear...

    Broken valves

    I had and 03 truck come into the shop the other week and after disassembly I found the rough running and noise to be caused by a dropped/ broken exhaust valve (#6 cylinder). I contacted the machine shop we deal with and was informed this apparently is quite common, and he had 10 (!!!) engines...

    Sterling grilles

    Does anyone know if the Sterling Bullet grilles ever came in a "work truck" grade black plastic instead of chrome? Our local dealer cant do anything with out a serial number, so are of little help. Collecting parts for the facelift and was hoping to get a paintable grille. TIA

    I love my truck, but wold like to update its look a little. I have access to fenders, a bumper and headlights from an 09 from a friend of mine who put on glass fenders, custom lights and an hd bumper. Does anyone know if the headlamp wiring (connectors and functions) is the same between the body...

    Traction bar oooops......

    So I pulled into the driveway the other day and after getting some stuff out of the box of the truck I noticed oil dripping off of the bottom of one of my traction bars under the differential. Naturally an oil leak at the diff isn't good to start with, but when its on the tube, that can't be...

    Rail Pressure.........?

    For you guys running a rail pressure gauge, what type of reading are you getting under different load conditions. I'm just curious as to what is normal, and maybe looking at ways to increase it if required. Thanks all

    Mystery vibration

    I have a weird vibration in the floor on the drivers side. Intermittant, and only at a stop. Changes sightly with turning the steering wheel, and I am suspecting motor mounts grounding out on the frame. I've looked at them and from the limited view, they do not appear to be touching anything...

    Prodigy P3

    I bought this trailer brake controller after reading how well it works, and how adjustable it is. I must say, its adjustable, but I am really not happy with how it works. I tow a 10000 lb travel trailer and I can never get it set for all driving situations. To get enough grab at higher speeds...

We can't find a...

    Firestone Destination A/T

    Has anyone tried these? Looking at the 315/70R17 size, but haven't seen them on anything except the new Ford F-150 in a smaller size. Thanks all

    Turbo bark when loaded/towing

    I have a wierd turbo bark only when towing my trailer (approx 10000lbs). I can be pulling a hill, approx 35 psi - 40 psi boost, 4th gear locked up, slight flutter in the boost guage, then a sudden bark ( 0psi on guage), then recovered immediately, good for another 15-20 seconds, then did it...

    No power at rh headlamp connector

    My "lamp out" has been flashing intermittantly for the past couple of weeks, never long enough to see which lamp was the culprit. Today the rh headlamp finally quit, I figured, great, just another PIAA bulb premature failure. I pulled out one of my stock bulbs and plugged it in, still no light...

    Bizarre auto trans leak..........

    My 48-RE has developed a strange fluid leak. ONLY after its been parked for 4-5 days, it leaks from the front of the transmission. Its not the pump, and once you clean off the front of it and its driven daily, it doesn't leak anymore. What I was wondering is if anyone knows if there is a drain...

    Bent mudflap brackets

    I've seen these on a few trucks and don't know where to get them. The top section is stainless steel and is shaped as a regular mudflap. It has a Z shaped brake in it that positions the rubber section of the flap approximately an inch behind the wheel opening. My larger wheels and tires rub on...
