Preparing for a trip I needed to perform some preventive Mx on my 48RE. So I adjusted the forward and rear bands on and replaced the governor transducer and solenoid; everything runs fine but now the truck downshifts hard from second gear to first gear when it hits around 10-15 miles an hour. I...

I noticed this under my truck today while sweeping:

As I have read from Pack Brake, Banks Brake, BD Diesel, and ATS Diesel; I must have a TC lock up kit for an exhaust brake to work on my 2004. Ok, so my TC needs to stay locked up to keep the engine and drive train connected for maximum effectiveness of the exhaust brake system, I get that part...

So I’m due to R2 the two piece junk shaft on my 04 and reading the plethora of entries on various forums I finally called Dave at dodgetruckparts.net and gave him the suggested part number (52123220AB). After researching my VIN he said per the Mopar/Dodge part gods my application would be part...

On the drive to work today the check gauges light illuminated and I found that my voltage was indicating zero. I parked the truck and shut down the engine; and upon restart it ran through the normal heating grid cycle sitting a little under 14 volts (likely 12 or so indicated) and from there it...

Hitting the 100k mark soon and decided to do some preventative maintenance and was wondering if I could get some info from the experts. 1. I need the torque value for the belt tension pulley, idler pulley, water pump, and the thermostat elbow. 2. I noticed that my idler pulley came with...

I was reading my load distribution hitch manual and they suggest that I install two anti sway kits (friction) on my trailer due to its length (26ft). The trailer is pretty light (4300 lbs unloaded) and seemed to tow just fine on our first run to Seattle from Spokane with only one installed. We...

Looking through my many web sites I stumbled upon this, BEAST SS 19. 5" DIRECT BOLT-ON Looks like a nice option if someone is looking for a 19. 5". Might be old news, but I figured I would pass it on just in case. Dave

My 48re is acting pretty weird, well weirder than normal and was wondering if you guys think its time to throw in the towel. Now the truck has only 95k on the odo and whoever owned it before was towing a fiver, obvious due to the holes in the bed for the fifth wheel mount and the 7 pin outlet...

Sir's/ Ma 'am's, I have had my '04 2500 for 6 years now and have utilized it to pull my family travel trailer around Alaska. I recently outgrew the trailer and was astonished to find that the trailer size I want reaches the maximum GVWR easily. According to my current rig configuration I can...

This topic has probably been beat to death but I will ask it anyways. I am considering swaping my oil to synthetic due to its flow properties at sub zero temperatures among other reasons. But, I have only used the mopar brand oil for the truck and have no prior care history before december 2007...

Today we received our first show in AK, and I put the truck in 4WD for the first time in months only to find some serious vibrations when accelerating. Looked at the front drive shaft and found the smallest wiggle at the joints attached to the case, the forward yoke was solid. Is this an...

I am going to buy new wheels and tires for my rig and all the charts are saying that I need to install a 2" leveling kit for tires 35" or larger. I am being told that these kits raise only the front by placing spacers above the springs, effectively eliminating the factory rake. But as I look at...

I just bought this truck in December and I have noticed two quarky items that popped up around January, after I bought the truck of course. Anyways the first problem is that when I go into reverse for a short distance, like backing out of a parking spot, the truck will not shift to second gear...

I have a 2004 with a 305 5. 9L automatic and I am the first to drool about after market add-ons that claim huge HP gains and such; but with the price of diesel, I was wondering what are the best aftermarket add-ons for fuel economy?
