I changed my oil and filter the other day and when I spun off the old oil filter I noticed it was only half full. I have never seen that before. Any ideas why?

I run high EGT's with my fiver in tow uphill unless I slow down to an intolerable speed. I still have the stock airbox, but use a washable AFE Proguard 7 oilable intake filter. I read that the stock airbox is good to 500 HP and I don't think I am anywhere near that. Any ideas/opinions on what I...

When should I have the wheel bearings replaced? I got about 80,000 miles now on my truck.

Anyone know of a good aftermarket automatic transmission cooler that will fit the location of the stock cooler? I would like to upgrade my cooling capacity when towing. Thanks Folks.

I am thinking about buying a 5 yr old used HH II LS. I think it has super lube hubs by Tiedown Engineering. Any thoughts/advice on making this purchase or issues with the Super Lube hubs?

I noticed recently that I can turn my steering wheel even with the key removed from the ignition switch. I thought the steering wheel used to lock with key removed. Should I worry about it and get it repaired? Is there a chance it could suddenly lock or restrict movement of the steering wheel...

I am getting stuff together for a tranmisson fluid change. I have been using Pennzoil ATF+3, but I don't think it is made anymore. From what I have read it has been replaced by ATF+4, which is supposedly backwards compatible and is a synthetic. I could buy the ATF+3 by the gallon last year, but...

I have 75,000 miles on my 2002 Ram. For 60,000 miles I used Chevron Delo 400 and changed oil about every 3500-4500. I never had to add oil between oil changes. At the 60,000 mile point I started using Royal Purple 15W40. I now add about 1 qt every 3-4,000 miles. Anyone else ever seen this?

I recently experienced issues with my 47RE auto transmission rapidly hunting between 3rd and 4th gears under light accelerator pedal demand when my DTT transmission controller was turned off. So I started thinking dirty connectors or ground points. I popped the hood and immediately noticed the...

Seville 5th wheels, by Crossroads have an overall 3. 5 star rating by RV consumer group. They have aluminum framed sides, floor, ceiling , front and rear ends. I was surprised that the frame is bolted together and not welded. I want to say that bolted framing is inferior to welding, but I have...

I have Michelin LT 235 85R 16 which are load range E tires. The sidewall rating says for rating for single rear wheel tire is 3300 lbs and for dual is 2700. My questions are: Why is the rating per tire less for a dual application than a single? For a dually, is the total load rating...

When speeding up from a relatively low speed, such as when making a right or left turn onto the interstate merge lane and giving 'er a fair amount of "gas" pedal, the transmission will downshift and then upshift again in a second or two. It recently started doing this. Any ideas? Just looking...

My truck has the stock HY-35 turbo. I am considering replacing it with a HTT HX-35/40 hybrid with a 12cm exhaust housing. I think it will spool a little slower, but I am primarily interested in more power while towing at around 2000 RPM or 65 mph with my 4. 10 diff ratio. Just wondering how that...

I have a 2003 Lance camper, model 1010, 3500 lbs when full. It hangs over the rear bumper about 2 ft. I have a 3 ft long receiever extension such that I can tow my 15 aluminum fishing boat. The receiver extension has a 5000 lb rating stamped into it. I am thinking about buying a Jeep Wrangler...

I have an OEM style AFE proguard 7, cleanable, oiled filter. I have always used the cleaning spray AFE sells. The last trip up to the AZ high country I made I noticed a distinct lack of power and could hear a funny noise. I thought maybe I had a ripped air intake piping rubber boot. When I got...

Anybody have any feedback or an RV Consumer Group rating for Attitude Toy Haulers (33, 37, 39 ft)? Also, who makes it? Thanks!

I kind of like the specs and looks of the Bighorn and Big Country 5th wheels. Anybody own one of these and if so, what do you think of their quality?

Just got the DTT upgrades with smart controller. Can't wait to try it out hauling my Lance camper to the Arizona high country this weekend. I hope it proves to be worth it in the long run. Stock transmission reportedly in real good shape, but then again I did not have the Edge installed very...

I have a Tekoshna controller I bought in 2000. Now that it 2008 and electronic advancements seem to happen at the blink of an eye, what type of controllers do yo guys use? I am thinking of buying something newer that is rated for up to a three axle trailer. Is there a controller that has a...

After gauges, better exhaust, better fuel pump, better transmission, and any number of devices on the market today that are designed to help the engine produce more HP & torque, what should be upgraded next? How does the stock drive shaft and U-joints hold up? I am trying to anticipate what...
