    Rear Window Leak

    I'm old (and other things I've done to my body) so my memory doesn't work like it use to. A few years ago or more I found water (a couple of inches) under my drivers side rear seat. It turned out to be clogged drain holes for the sliding rear window. We just got 12" of rain from Debby and I...

    EGR/Cooler Cleaning

    Sharing information that might be helpful. At 58k I started to get codes related to turbo problems. In addition to the codes, I also had what I'm going to call something sticking in the turbo. I would clear the codes and it didn't take long for them to return. I continued to have sticking...

    Our Trucks Have a Shelf Life!!!

    I called my local dealership asking for some service. They said they would only work on 2010 or newer models. It appears my truck has a shelf life!

    Front Hub Extension to Wheel Hub Fit Issue

    I can't get the second hub extension onto the wheel hub assembly. The hub assembly is on the truck. The first one went on no problems. At first I thought I might have caused the extension to become non-flat, but after some inspection it appears ok. The extension does fit onto the original...

    Part Name?

    I thought it was going to have an easy day finishing what I started a week ago. What is the front DRW extension called between that hub bearing and rotor? I can't find it on RockAuto. It looks like I need to buy a new one. When I did the first side, this was an easy operation. Spacer side...

    Front Ball Joints: While I'm in There???

    First off let me whine and say replacing the front ball joints was a PITA! It seemed as though every part was tough to get apart. So I got the new ball joints in and now wondering if I should be doing anything while I have it apart. The front axle u-joints seen fine, so I don't see a reason...

    Stuck Front Rotor

    I've been wrestling with tight parts since I started. I need to change ball joints. Latest problem is a stuck rotor. I've been beating a wood block against the back of the rotor and can't get any movement. Tried beating steel rod against rotor between studs hoping to help break it. Been...

    Axle Nut Removal

    I'm about to try and remove the axle nut. I'm thinking I should have removed it while the tire was still on the ground, but did not have the correct socket. I ordered the socket in 1/2" to match my impact gun. I see the final torque for this is 263 ft-lbs., so I'm assuming it is going to be...

    Front End Problem; Continued

    I rotated two wheels and still have what I'm now going to call a drivers side front shake/wobble. Seems rather severe for such a quickly occurring event. It's so severe that I'm concerned about driving it 90 miles. While having the tire off, I find it very hard to feel wheel bearings or ball...

    Front End Problem

    Today, I drove about 90 miles with most it being at 60 mph. Half way into the trip I started to feel the steering wheel and what I think is the left front end shaking. The shake is bad enough that my wife even noticed it. The shake is not that bad until 50 mph plus. Yes, my tires are old and...

    Fuel Gauge Issue

    Now I see my fuel gauge showing pinned empty (with the warning light on). Probably have over an half tank. No fuel on the ground. Any thoughts?

    Transmission Temperature Sensor Location?

    The first week I bought the truck new in 2008 I added a gauge set. I never did hook up the transmission temperature sensor. I have a sensor designed to install in the pan. I have what I need to do the first fluid and filters change. Should I install thru pan or is there a better location...

    Transmission Linkage (?) Issue

    Sometimes I find it difficult to move the column selector without a bang. Seems to happen mostly when backing into a parking stop. At home I backup until I tap a parking stop, apply brakes and put in park. Sometimes tough getting it into drive without a bang. Also similar if I park on a...

    Why two Beeps?

    Everything running good. I get two beeps. Louder (deeper tone) than a chime. This has happened twice recently. Any ideas? Thanks!

    How to Set Rear Parking Brakes

    I replaced the rear rotors and calipers a couple of years ago. I never did adjust the parking brake to my liking. I need to adjust them before I become that guy at the boat ramp. How do you suggest I set them? I'm thinking pulling the shafts, feeling them spin and adjust accordingly. Any...

    Am I Overloaded?

    I've never had such a heavy load in the bed. Haven't driven far but she creeks like never before. Can the leafs come into contact with the rubber stops while parked? Thanks, John

    Turn Signal Help, Thanks!

    Signal flashes double time for right turn only. My first thought is change flasher. Searched Rock Auto and couldn't find a flasher. Any suggestions? Thanks, John

    Missed the EGR Cooler Cleaning

    I did the EGR selenoid cleaning and CCV filter replacement at about 80,000 miles, but missed the cooler (Florida thunderstorm). What does the cooler do? I'm at 87,000 miles. Trying to add this to the equation of my problems (probably turbo actuator). Thanks, John

    Now High EGT's

    Based on the P2262 code and physical issues where it seems the exhaust brake is sticking open, I'm thinking a new actuator or re-built turbo is right around the corner. Today new issue. High EGT's at a stop. 1,000 deg. F and not coming down. Upon moving still high then more normal. Some...

    What Flash Level?

    What flash level should my 2008 be at? It's been probably over 8 years since my last flash. When the truck was new, I brought it back for about 3 or 4 new flashes. Does Dodge charge for flashes? With my P2262 and symptoms I'm getting concerned a new turbo is in the near future. Thanks, John.
