    P0304 & P0514 DTC(s) & other symptoms

    Greetings, My engine is (mostly) running smooth, just got back from a 1,200 mile road trip, except when at a stop and truck is in drive the engine seems to idle roughly and there is increased vibration. I think the rpms when stopped are around 3,500 to 4,000 rpm. This morning it threw a code...

    Broken Vacuum Line - Constantly Running Vacuum Pump

    Hello, Yesterday while replacing the fuel filter I discovered that I have a broken vacuum line, break location is just ahead of the fuel filter canister. The hose runs to the vacuum pump - located behind passenger side battery - which runs continuously on account of the broken line. The small...

    OEM power steering pulley for 2003 Ram 2500 4WD QC Laramie

    I am in need of this pulley to replace the original one. The original one was reused on a new pump since my shop (or I) could not find a replacement pulley readily. Apparently, Dodge has upgrade the P/S system on my truck. Problem is, however, that they damaged the original pulley slightly upon...

    serpentine belt

    So, I looked at my existing (which is the original) serpentine belt and it appears to have 7 ribs. Then I look at the replacement Gates one (No. K081264) purchased at Geno's a few years back to have in my emergency kit (and yet to be installed) and it appears to have 8 ribs. Now wondering if...

    DTC 2121, 2123, and 0123 - pedal position sensor issues

    Truck is bucking, acting like starving for fuel when going uphill at low speeds cruise control off. Sets the above codes. First time problem. Other related threads suggest cleaning electrical contacts at the TPPS, checking wiring, reassembling, etc. clearing codes and test driving. Then I guess...

    Changing Coolant - Thermostat too?

    It is time to change the coolant again (just the second time). Mileage is at roughly 170,000 and the thermostat is original. No cooling issues and wondering if the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. Or if I should just replace it while I'm changing the coolant since it's...

    little motor cycling when ignition is on

    I am unsure what purpose this motor serves is in the attached photos. Just recently, it cycles on when the key is in the ignition, runs for 5 to 10 seconds, then shuts off, then does the same thing a minute or so later. AC and heat are off when this happens. I know its this motor because I can...

    Salvage of Engine & Transmission post-fire

    Hello all, My beloved 2003 was totalled about a month ago in an explosive fire at a body shop - my truck was in for some relatively minor body work after hitting a deer and I ended up losing the entire thing... just bad luck I guess. Kind of heartbreaking really, all too easy to get attached to...

    Transmission Pan Gasket for Mag Hytec Deep Pan

    Could someone tell me if the reusable Mopar trans pan gasket is compatible with the Mag Hytec Deep Pan? Or, do I need to use a fiber gasket? I am changing the fluid and filter on the tranmission for the first time and I'm not sure what gasket would be best for the job.

    Reputable Diesel Shop in Albuquerque, NM

    I would like to check the valve lash while passing through Albuquerque. I see there is a Rocky Mountain Cummins there. I would appreciate it if anyone has had any good dealings with them or if there is another competent shop in the area they would trust this to. Also, about how much should this...

    Recommendation for Oil Analysis Program

    I want to start participating in an oil analysis program, but not sure whom to go with. I met another diesel owner (Ford) that mentioned a company called Wearcheck and he seemed to be pretty happy with their web based reporting, and I see Geno's Garage has a Fleetguard sampling kit also (does...

    48RE transmission issue

    My truck with the original 48RE transmission now has 117,000 miles. I have the Edge Juice with Attitude and never run more than the 'tow' setting. For the past 4 years we have been fulltime RVing, so a fair amount of towing our heavy fifth wheel across the country back and forth. I have never...

    Wire for tailights

    I just lost my running and tail lights on my fifth wheel, no matter which 7-pin plug I use on the truck (one in bed and one on bumper). Everything else (turn signals, reverse, trailer brakes, etc. ) seems to work on both the truck and trailer. I had noticed on the last trip the trailer running...

    Where does this hose go?

    I found one end of a small (about 1/2-in dia. ) rubber hose dragging on the ground beneath the rear axle the other day. It attaches to the rear axle into a fitting that sits on top of the axle, driver's side (I hope the attached photo helps - the hose I'm referring to is near vertical in the...
