I have two questions regarding oil and rodents. Question one, Oil: How dark should the oil be after changing with only 500 miles on the new oil? The engine had 10440 miles on it when the oil was supposedly changed by the dealer. I looked at the dp stick just to check the oil level as I always...

I was taking a picture for another thread and got to looking. I have no clue what this is or what it does. Can someone clue me in? I am thinking it has something to do with the pollution control.

I just bought a 2019 3500 SWL 4X4 with the HO Cummins and Aisin transmission. My old truck was a 99 2500 with 5.9 Cummins and the 5 speed manual and a Banks kit so I have no true reference. It seems to me that taking off from a full stop and not getting into the throttle real hard that the...

I am back after a year hiatus due to the demise of my beloved 99 Ram 2500. You see last June I was hit by a semi truck on I40 just west of Santa Rosa. The Ram, also known as the Gray Beast met her end when a West bound semi crossed the median and hit me in the East bound lane. I should have...

I had to by pass the clutch safety switch to be able to start. I ordered a new switch and now looking at it I can't figure how to get the old one out and the new one in. One book I have says you can't do it. But if they sell the switch there must be a way. Any help is appreciated.

I have developed a leak at the base of the oil filter side of the feed line. I am looking for a good compromise between price and quality. I see the prices range from $48 for a Vulcan line and $84 for a Cummins line from CPP, Others have prices in the 80-100 range. Any advise on these or other...

Last night I stopped for fuel and when I went to start back up, nothing. All my dash lights came on as normal but nothing happened. I pooped the hood and swapped the starter relays around and nothing. No clicks, no vibrations just dead silence. Another driver had a chain so he gave me a tug and...

I am at my whits end. I have a 1999 Ram 2500 Diesel. Here is what the problem: Left Turn Signal Hyper flashes. The front Left bulb flashes but it is the parking light element that flashes Right turn signal no issues, works perfect. Left Parking light does not come on when lights are turned on...

I did a U turn the other night and my front right dropped off the edge of the road a bit. Not so much that it hit anything but just a slight dip. Now she is pulling to the right. Did a quick check underneath and all seems tight. Any thoughts on what I should look at next?

Has anyone had the vent tube from the front axle (Dana) burp up oil? Mine burped 2 oz of oil through the vent line behind the air box while driving in TX at 80moh and 107 Degrees F. Took into he shop to have it checked and they reported that the inside looked clean and crisp. Just did a fluid...

I have a 99 2500 with the travel center dome light. The button for the passenger side decided it was time to south. Anyone have a lead on replacements or how to fix the plunger switch? I have a second question that I will post separately but will put it hear as well. Has anyone had the vent...

My exhaust manifold cracked between the #5 and #4 ports (Rear of engine). The ATS replacement I have on order is on back order and do not have a ship date. Is there a temp fix I can do so I can still drive the truck empty?

I started to notice a diesel smell every time I would drive mote that 20 miles. I crawled under the truck and found the return line from the VP44 was leaking. It has one of those quick connects that goes into what looks like a thin polly line and then attaches to the stainless steel line that...

Well it is time to get rid of those old foged over headlights. I saw a post some time ago about recomendations but can't find it. What headlights work the best. I have been looking at the Anzo Projector lights but have heard problems with getting them to adjust right. Any sugestions would be...

Ok, Here is the problem. EGT is running about 200 degrees higher than normal and I am producing more black smoke than normal. It gets wores when pulling the fith wheel od 12klbs. Engine temp was also higher but part of that was due to the ambiant air temp was 90 and altitude was 6600 feet...

How hard should it be to turn the tie rod adjusting sleeve on a 2500 4X4? This is the big one that conects the two steering knuckles together. I had to put everything I had into it and then some comming off and going back on. There was a lot of rust inside but I thought I had most of it cleaned...

Looking for TDR groups in the Albuquerque Area. Moved her last June and looking for a group.

I was installing my new BD Stearing Box Stabilizer and snapped the heads off the two lower bolts that hold the satibilizer bushings against the frame. Has anyone ran into this and how did you fix it?

I have 150K on a 99 2500 4X4 with the original track bar and steering system and I think the track bar is starting to go out. I have noticed a bit of a wobbling feel (nothing severe but noticeable) on the free way at 60+mph but the steering for the most part tracks a straight line when I let go...

When I had the bumper off I found an electrical connector with about 6 wires going to it under the right (Passenger) side headlight. Followed the wires and they join up with the wire loom for the head light. Any idea what that was for?
