1. Check your Hoses and Clamps 2. Check your Air Filter How did I learn these simple lessons? A few years after installing a new BD Diesel IRON HORN Turbo and "Mr Bob's Silicone Hoses" with Spring loaded Hose Clamps on my 05 Ram I would start getting that Code. Scanner and later Smarty...

After my 05 Dodge Ram spent 2 months at the Diesel Shop in Grant NE and replaced MAP, IAT Crankshaft AND Camshaft Position sensors, and possible some others... truck ran fine for over a month, towed my 13K lbs Fiver for 30 miles and no CEL. Left Imperial NE on OCT 10 (left Trailer there) and HAD...

My 05 Ram 5.9L Dually is stuck at the "Quality Diesel Shop" in Grant NE after throwing more Codes on a post Crankshaft and Camshaft Position Sensor replacement test drive. They are recommended by all the locals I've talked to. With 181k Miles I've told them to replace any and all "Engine...

I replaced my very old Sears DieHard AGM Batteries in April 2022 with DieHard Platinum AGMs from Advance Auto Parts. Fast forward to Fall 2022 and I put the Truck in Storage from Dec through March in Montgomery AL (which unusually did have some hard freeze events) with the Batteries...

This is a update/revision to my recent previous thread. I purchased a Smarty Touch Tuner and installed their prompted "Basic Tune" (they have not responded to my email inquiry about what this consists of versus more aggressive (?) custom tunes their instructions mention but their online links...

Back in 2019 BD promoted their "Iron Horn" Turbo upgrades (Turbo (no waste gate) & Exhaust Manifold).. Installed BD Iron Horn 5.9L Cummins Turbo Kit S36SXE/76 0.9AR-03-07 Dodge Cummins 5.9L Item No: BDD1045170 (Flow 77lb Min - #2 of 5 in their hierarchy of performance - with a towing & gauge...

After 172K miles on my 05 Ram Dually my Cat is toast and maybe contributing to occasional low turbo boost code 299... and a nice loud rumble when idling! I received a Magnaflow direct fit Bolt on 42" long Cat today. It appears to have the Exhaust Pipe "bends" to match OEM and one end is flared...

My old 2005 Ram Dually rear main seal leak that began over 2 years ago but was inconsequential having been barely driven or towed in the last 2 years became important after towing the RV for 900 miles and now parked on a nice Church Parking lot for the summer. Now my Ram has 170K miles on it. I...

My 2005 Dodge Ram (168K miles and clean) ECM could no longer control the Transmission correctly as described in my "Flashing Tow Haul & Trans Temp Light" thread. Neither Trans shop or regular shop could fix and local Dealer confirmed the ECM was bad with their legacy equipment. But it still...

I don't recall ever seeing any tales about this particular issue since joining in 2007... After getting my 2005 3500 Fuel Filter Housing replaced: On first short Drive home from the shop (167K Miles) on Friday Truck “beeped” a lot and TRANS TEMP and TOW HAUL lights flashed many times, NO Check...

THREE OR FOUR STARS? FYI Over a year ago at 158K miles on my 05 I ignorantly let my local shop install new Exhaust Manifold (EM) GASKETs as some were failing/leaking. Versus thinking it through and getting a new EM then, albeit it would have cost a little more. Exhaust Smoking issues arose...

OUCH! Changing my 2005 5.9L Fuel Filter led to its "disintegration" and leaving the bottom of the Filter in the Canister. I removed the PLASTIC Fuel Inlet Standpipe to remove the filter remains. Could not really get the Plastic Standpipe to thread back into the base of the Cannister, lubed...

My 05 probably started a Rear Main Seal Leak 10K miles ago, now at 168K miles. Its not too bad... Shop Repair is $$$$ Many online testimonials indicate Bars Heavy Duty Main Seal Leak Repair or Blue Devil Main Seal Repair can be effective but my Shop doesn't recommend (vested repair interest?)...

Most recent TDR article suggested OBD apps could "replace" monitors (much more inexpensively - wife kept happy..). I purchase and installed the suggested ELM327 Android Bluetooth Scan "Tool" for Android and installed OBD Fusion on my Amazon Kindle versus Torque Pro. Discovered OBD Fusion...

Is the manufacturer of the PSM "Performance Systems Manufacturing" Cool Hose and Coolpower Intake (airbox mod) (Pete Tomka) still in business? The website (psmbuick.com) doesn't work and while the Business and Cell numbers from old PSM advertisements still work, I've gotten no reply from leaving...

Yikes, I replaced my Passenger side Foglight for the SECOND time this summer. Drivers side was OEM and cloudy due to age of my 2005 Ram. While changing the Oil last week on the lift and doing an inspection, I discovered the passenger side Fog light is already cracked/broken and now even the...

I installed Billstein Shocks from Geno's at 70K miles - are they likely still good 90K miles later? My 05 RWD Dually tows a 14k lbs Fifth Wheel for around 3-5K miles/year (usually closer to 3K) Unloaded, maybe the truck is bouncing more on rough roads, or maybe the roads are rougher? Do I...

I changed my fuel filter at 148748 Miles on my 05 Ram and the OEM Clear Drain Hose Fell off afterwards (along with my drain hose extension) The OEM hose was cracked at the Fuel Filter drain, broken inside my extension hose and basically trash. I should be able to find the similar size hose to...

I pulled my Ram into my driveway to top off Fluids and air up the tires. Afterwards I saw this under the truck about/no more than 3' from the front bumper and maybe 3' in from the Drivers side. Its actually Black Rubber/Plastic (not sure why its brown in the photos) and seems to be some kind of...

Wow, How often / unreliable is another feature of my 05 Ram? When I purchased it used, there was no spare tire, and just the broken cable dangling from the winch. Procured a new winch (easy), a used wheel (new ones are $$$$) with some difficulty on E-Bay and a "free" tire from a fellow TDR...
