    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) DTT noise filter, anybody got a pic of one?

    Or can you tell me is it a typical DC noise filter ie. aluminum can with a mount and a bolt on each end? Like a capacitor?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) transmission shudder in O/D??

    In the last 4-5 weeks I have noticed that as my trucks enters O/D at around 55-65 mph the truck shudders. I can either let off the go pedal or speed up and the shudder goes away. If I am lugging along in O/D and hit an incline it will do the same thing. Again I can accelerate out of it. 2001...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) How to tell a 47RE from a 48RE?

    Is their a way to distinguish a 47RE from a 48RE? The warranty paper I got with my transmission states it is a 48RE. I bought the truck second hand and the only document I have is the warranty. Will a 48 even fit in a 2001. 5 truck?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Curious about an Allison transmission swap

    I was reading Diesel Power the other day and saw a guy with an F-250 with a Cummins 12V swap and an Allison auto transmission. There was not any info on the transmission but I sort of assumed it was out of a D'Max diesel. So that got me thinking about the feasability of swapping in an Allison into my...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Load correcting airbag system suggestions?

    My truck squats fairly well with anything over 4K on the hitch. It has factory overload springs which keep it from going down really far, but I hate that nose high feeling when towing a decent load. So I am looking for recommendations for an airbag/bladder system? :)

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Load sqeal or sqeak when truck is shut down

    As the title says. It usually will be much louder after the engine is warmed up. The engine kinda shudders when it turns off and then the noise. Sounds like the belt is being spun on something. Ideas?

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Nerf bars, N-Fab anyone running them? Thoughts/pics :)

    My new to me 2001 is lifted 6" and is a bit of a bear to climb into (particularly for my wife... but even me at 6'2" find myself stretching). As such I have been looking for a nice set of steps/nerf bars. I had the typical Westin bars on my old Ram and they were nice, but the developed a rust...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Quick Airdog 100 system sealing question, call me simple...

    The directions for the Airdog FP100 system call for a diesel proof sealer for the fittings. Is Teflon pipe tape diesel proof? If not what should I use on the fittings?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Unknown cable unhooked, can you identify?

    I noticed this cable in the pics below unhooked yesterday. I have had the truck for 30 days and I did not unhook it, but it appears to have been purposefully disconnected and tied back. Any ideas where it goes/what it is for? It is about a 2-4 AWG and is black with ring terminals on both...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) My 2001 popped a code, P1689 any ideas?

    Yesterday I started my truck after having just shut it down maybe 5 mins prior. It started right up, but it immediatly revved to about 1200 and then right back down to normal idle and the MIL popped on. I freaked out of course, but I was blocking access to the dumpster at the trash collection...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Factory hitch on 2500...Class III??? What gives?

    So I just purchased a 2001 2500 CTD. One of the reasons was heavy towing, more than I can do with my 1500. I went out yesterday to get a 10,000 lb adjustable ball mount/draw bar and the guy at the shop asks if I am going to use the hitch on the truck to pull 10,000 lbs. I say yes. He goes...

    COMPLETE diesel newbie, bought a CTD, got questions

    I have lurked here at TDR for a couple of years whilst I was looking for the right CTD to come along. Judging by the community I have seen here I think my $35 investment will be very fruitful. :D I am completely new to diesel ownership, my dad has always had big diesels (Fords) but I have...
