    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Changes with new transmission

    So, recently got my new DTT transmission installed and I immediately noticed a few changes that I have a hard time imagining that they could be related to the new transmission. Could it be the transmission and/or how it was installed, or is it just coincidental and something else just happened to...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Rubber vs ???

    My new DTT transmission is weeping a little fluid from the pan seal area. I rechecked the torque on the bolts, but still leaking a bit. I am not sure about the gasket the transmission shop installed. It looks like it is maybe made of cardboard. DTT suggests I service the transmission after...

    So,I got my new DTT transmission installed and picked up the truck last Wednesday. They filled it with Amsoil. I drove the truck home and to work the next morning and thought I smelled hot/burned ATF. I figured it was just spilled fluid or greasy hand prints, etc. I spoke with Bill from DTT later that...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Hunting a short... need some help

    I am trying to figure out where the short is that is causing my batteries to drain down. It used to take a couple of weeks of not driving the truck for my batteries to get so low that they wouldn't turn the engine over. It started getting worse so I replaced the batteries as they were the...

    5th Wheel Size/Weight Limit

    I'm thinking of getting a 5th wheel. I haven't towed anything with my truck yet and I am not sure what I should consider to be the max size/weight I can pull with my set-up. I would probably pull it over the Cascades a couple of times a year (Hwy 90 & 2) and a few other short trips around the...

    I noticed a little bit of water dripping from the passenger side of the engine compartment, forward of the firewall. After searching the forum I found a few posts that said that when the defroster was on it caused the A/C to be on or cycle, or something?? and this would sometimes cause...
