Somewhere in the last 145 miles today i've lost a quart of oil to the bottom of the engine and the ground. Oil dripping from area around turbo. Top of oil filter appears dry. Noticed oil spots on back of truck camper when I stopped at a rest area where I'm at now. Initial plan is to drive 3...

My serpentine (accessory) belt failed yesterday on my 3500. Luckily it was very close to home. Very easy to tell that it failed as power steering disappears, AC goes off, no alternator output and coolant temperature starts to climb. All this is before the “check gauges” message starts flashing...

I'm adding additional particulate and water filtration capability to my fuel system and like the various spin-on cartridge systems people have posted or available commercially. Have any of you using these spin-on filters had issues of wax or gel fouling/plugging when the weather got colder...

After reading several threads about filtration, I’ve started to look into more particulate and water removal filtration for my fuel system. I’ve looked at several kits that are out there and noticed there are differences between how the kit components are used vs. vendor design...

After 140k miles my right front wheel bearing is making noise when I load it up going around a left turn. The left is squeaking sometimes as well. Since I'm changing out my ball joints and axle drive u-joints, I'm changing out the hub assembly on each side as well. The axle bearing hub...

I'm changing out my front upper/lower ball joints and the axle and driveline u-joints within the next month. I still need to get a big brass hammer to help things come loose. To make it easier I've been spraying the various areas with penetrating oil every couple of days. So it was very...

After a week of boondocking with my truck camper in the Seqouia National Forest, I was returning on a dirt road going down a pitch of less than 15 degrees in 4Lo with my exhaust brake on, when after going over a transition, the engine started to clatter very loudly. I pulled over and checked...

About 3/4 of the way through my 2,800 mile road trip (CA - OR - WA - ID - MT and back) with my slide-in camper I ended up breaking the right tie rod outer, by pulling the ball out of the socket. It wasn't on a bad USFS road and luckily I was only going about 10 mph when it happened. Also lucky...

I'm planning to take several winter road trips to various ski areas in the northern us and canadian rockies with my truck camper on my '05 3500 CTD dually . Truck started really well all last winter when the temperatures were in the low teens. If it gets colder than that after not running...
