    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 06 3500 Edge Attitude

    Was very happy with stock power of my new 06 (used) truck as I'm not a tire burning type. Longevity and smart application of power is my thing. Friend gave me the Edge Attitude programer in spite of knowing my conservative nature. Here's my impression based on little experience with these newer...

    Best chip for 06 - Economy and mid power upgrade.

    While happy with stock power on my 06 3500, I keep hearing that an aftermarket chip could increase economy and power at the same time??? I am NOT a big black smoke tire burner type! Longevity and durability are my thing, not beating the other brand up a pass. I know, boring eh... Old 95 is...

    Purchased beautiful 06 3500 4x4 Quad Cab, what do I need to know?

    It's an automatic as I was told several times by different sources that it's a decent transmission. Time will tell, but it's a nice truck with 80K and near showroom condition. What are the tricks with this year and what should i accomplish right away? Totally happy with stock power, but want to...

    Need clarification on 05 4wd system

    I read somewhere in my searches that the 4wd is really only a 3wd on these trucks. Something about the left front wheel never getting power??? I have a deposit on an 05 6 speed, but this scares me as I use 4wd heavily. What about this 6 speed? Is it durable with good clutch life? I have...

    Want to buy later 5.9 with 6 speed. Inform me please!

    Hello, Well, after 500k my 95 12 valve is getting old. Engine is great but the truck is getting to be a pure work rig. I do NOT want the 6. 7 re-gen issues, etc so I'm thinking a later 5. 9. I'm looking for advice on best years with fewest issues. Not a big power guy, so upgrades will be...

    For all you critics about my last thread!

    So I tell the truth about bad service from a beloved TDR vendor and I get my *** kicked by a bunch of Kool-Aid drinkers about bashing a great vendor! Well, here's "THE REST OF THE STORY"! Not only could Standard Transmission NOT get the unit to Washington to my mechanic in the time promised...

    Standard Transmission disappointing service.

    Well, after over 400k I had my NV4500 rebuilt at a local Wa. state transmission shop... . so called experts who knew the correct NV4500 fix(s). 5 months later 5 goes and I'm stuck in reverse. Guy at shop is all about blamming the transmission and saying no fix will work. So, I ate it, walked and decided to...

    Best year 2004-07, looking for newer truck?

    Thanks for advice. My 95, 5 speed 4x4 is an excellent truck pushing 430k with the last 135k on WVO. But it's an old rig and I'd like to keep it for work use. I'm looking for a later 5. 9 with 6 speed and I "may" convert it to accept WVO, but not sure how the newer engines like it. Need a nicer...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Start smooth, stumble at 10 seconds, smooth??

    Hey smart folk. . My 95 12V with 430k miles has always run terrific. I replaced LP recently and overflow valve for good measure. Very recently I'm having a smooth immediate start but after about 10 seconds a stumble for about 10 seconds where I need to give throttle or I'll stall. Then smooth as...

    130k on WVO and no issues...

    That's 130K of 430K on a 95 4x4 Cummins 12 valve. Converted the fuel system to a two tank (Greasecar) system which I've tweaked a bit and added a Vegtherm Mega. I have run very strong on filtered WVO and done many long trips without issue. I'm a new member and signed up here to share...
