Shut down at 300 or 350 deg? A search didn’t make me satisfied on an answer so I will ask. What temperature do you guys shut the engine down at? I used to wait till 300 but read 350 was OK so I started doing that. But now I am a little worried about it and was wondering what ya’ll do?

My truck has been kind of a dog since I got it a couple years ago, and I recently added a pusher on the intake and a turbo back 4” exhaust, and a boost/EGT gauge. I now have way more power than I did and the boost has no problem getting up to 29 lbs. I also installed a FASS 95 and bought, but...

Smarty issue: error 14?? Is anyone familiar with this error? I emailed the Mads folks a couple days ago, but haven’t received a response. The Smarty is new and I locked it to my ECM when I go to choose a catcher, the unit reads “programming pleas wait” then “updating ECM please wait” the...

I got in a wreck the other day (hit by a construction truck, F550) and the company paid me $6k to take care of it. Well the damage was only to the bed and I have already got a replacement for $200, so I got some upgrade $$$. I already have a fuel gauge and trans temp gauge. I am going to order...

“98. 5 24v / 4x4 / auto Saturday I pulled in the garage everything was fine. I changed the heater core (went too easy, I knew something would go wrong), changed the trans fluid, and added a t/fluid temp sending unit and gauge. I also had both battery's disconnected and charged them separately...

I am installing a remote start and turbo timer and need a hand please. I am looking at the bunch of wires running under the steering column. I need to know the color of the + parking light wire, the + starter output, and the + ignition. Thank you for your help, Ben

My wonderful wife remembered me mentioning wanting a turbo timer a while back, and just got me an alarm that has remote start and turbo timer for my b-day. Well my truck is in the shop right now (body damage) but when I get it back I would like the install to go smoothly. So toward that end I...

What are the symptoms of the dead pedal? Recently, in the morning, when I start out, it seems the accelerator wont work. If I stab it, the RPMs will go up a little but not like they should. It seems to be intermittent and doesn’t last long. I thought it was because I wasn’t letting it warm up...

I got into a fender bender on Friday. My Dodge 1 ton against a Ford ¾ ton. We were both changing into the same lane at the same time. I just got off the phone with my insurance company and they said I have the gold plan with accident forgiveness. My truck has been painted white over white and...

Since I got my 98. 5 3500 almost a year ago the wait to start light has perplexed me. When I first got the truck, it wouldn't start till the wait to start light came on roughly 6 seconds after turning the key to the on position. Then came summer in Texas and all the sudden I didn't have the...

My HVAC fan has been getting weaker and lately it has been periodically not working at all. I am pretty sure I just need to replace the fan, and pretty much know what is involved in changing it. But I was wondering 1. Is there anything else I should check first (relays, wiring, switch or...

I was adding 134a to my system and all the sudden it started popping. I have very little experience with these systems, and hope I haven’t killed my compressor? If not, how can I fix this? I released some of the refrigerant, thinking that would help. Then I restarted it, for just a second and...

I was jacking the front of my truck up and the jack slipped out from under the axle and right into the oil pan!:eek: I have started it twice and the oil came up but I am afraid to drive it to work tomorrow. I will fix it but do you think it is safe to drive? Here are some pictures so you can...

Please help I’m down. I was doing routine maintenance and changing my fuel filter yesterday when I ran into a problem;lift pump thought my lift pump went out, so I drove my wife’s truck to work today and got a new pump from Cummins and just finished putting it in and it doesn’t come on. #@$%...

I know y'all are probably tired of this issue, but I have to ask. I changed my fuel filter and didn't fill the can with diesel, I was just going to let the pump fill it. Anyway now the can is about half full and I cant hear the lift pump running. So now its not running. With my wife cycling...

After changing my steering gear box, the next day my air bag light came on and the wait to start light does not come on and the cruse control will not come on. I know it has nothing to do with the gear box but it is strange how it happened right after. Does this sound familiar to any one? How...

So I am trying to adjust the preload on the wheel bearings on the D80 in the rear of my 98. 5 DRW 4x4 3500, but when I go to adjust the bearing nut, a 2 3/8th socket is too small, and 2 7/16th socket wont fit into the opening. :confused: So trying to find the right socket, I have been to 4...

Still Shakin’ ............NEW UPDATE! In an effort to eliminate the highway speed vibration for my ’98 ½ 3500 4x4,I started with an alignment and the guy at the shop told me I needed new lower control arm bushings, new track bar, new drag link and tie rod. So I got all that stuff from Napa and...

Hello all, new to the site and wanted to introduce myself and ask a few questions. I build and wheel Jeeps, so a couple of months ago I bought a ’98 ½ 3500 4x4 to tow my trailer/Jeeps. Then I started lurking around here for info. Should have done the research ahead of time, but it seems I need...
