As long as I've owned my truck, its had a noticeable vibration that starts above 65, gets worse up to about 75, then all but disappears above 80 mph. I've tried everything, wheels balanced, replaced u-joints. Nothing has helped. Read an old thread on here about someone else with the exact same...

Getting geared up to replace the injectors on a buddies 04. 5. I've read the great install procedure posted on here and it seems to be pretty straightforward. My biggest question/concern is getting access to #5 and especially #6. Is there enough room to get back in there with the appropriate...

My brother drives a bone stock '05 six speed with 190,000 miles on it. Lately he says its been using a couple gallons of oil per change (5000-7000 miles). No leaks anywhere on the truck. No extra/odd colored smoke. Blow-by doesn't appear to be excessive. Checked the tubes to the intercooler, no...

I'm shopping for injectors for a friend of mine with an 04. 5 just like mine. I have always heard that the DDP's are the way to go. I compared the DDP 50's to the BD 60's and the BD's are quite a bit cheaper ( $500). Was just looking for some insight into each and which ones we should go with.

I recently discovered that there is a good amount of play in one of the yokes in the double cardan joint on my front driveshaft. I am looking for any advice on repairing it as cost effectively as possible. Can it be rebuilt or should I buy a whole new shaft? Looks like new shafts are a bit...

I have some questions regarding blow by on the truck in my sig. I bought it used in Oct. of '07 with 65,000 miles on it. It had an Edge EZ and a K&N open element intake on it that the owner said, and verified by the date on the receipt, had been on for about a year and a half. Since I've owned...

I'm trying to help a buddy figure out a problem he's been having with his truck. It's an 04. 5 325hp, 48re with an edge juice and has about 120,000 miles. He said about a year ago it started doing what he described as a "weird surging" while driving at hwy speeds with the cruise set. After...

This is the third time this has happened to me in the last month. While breaking through big, powdery snow drifts trying to make it home, the air filter plugged solid with snow. It was packed in there so tight that I had to pry the air filter out with a flathead screwdriver and then try and melt...

A good friend of mine had a recent streak of bad luck with his 04. 5 Cummins. He had taken it back to the dealer several times because he said it was surging while driving at highway speeds. They never could find the problem. Now this winter it died on him several miles from town. Showed codes...

I've got over 10,000 miles on my Dynatrac pro steers ball joints and have yet to be able to get them to take a drop of grease. I have tried several times since they were new and they will not take it. Are they just that tight until they get broke in? Anyone else had this trouble?

I have been running Schaeffer synthetic supreme 9000 5w40 combined with an FS2500 by-pass filtration system for a couple years now. Started doing oil analysis to see how far I could safely extend my drain intervals. The first few everything was normal. After this last oil change, I sampled at...

Time for new ball joints. I tried having my truck aligned and the shop said they couldn't because my ball joints were to loose. Uppers and lowers. Now trying to decide which ones to go with. Much as I would love to, I can't afford Carli's. Considering Dynatracs or the kit I found on Home...

This might get a little long, but I want to give the full background. Last november while on a hunting trip in the mountains (6000 feet elevation) my truck would puff blue smoke and run terribly rough for a few minutes when I would start it in the morning. After idling for a while or driving it...

I recently had my 48re flushed and the bands adjusted. While they were in there, I had the mechanic install a Transgo shift kit. There are 110,000 miles on the truck. They said the front band was getting pretty thin but should be ok for a while. The problem I'm having now is when I'm goings...

I have a leaking power steering hose on my 04. 5 and I can't find a replacement anywhere. The local Dodge dealer has one for $92. That seems like a lot for a short, simple hose. Napa, Carquest and Sturdevants couldn't come up with one. They only show the hose that runs between the hydra boost...

Are the gasket seals for the front and rear differential covers reusable or do they need to replaced each time the cover is removed?

A while back I saw instructions on here on how to have the dealership use the starscan tool to program your foglights to stay on with highbeams. Just did a search for it and didn't have any luck finding it again. I'd like to have it done, but need the instructions again to do it. Can anyone...

I recently turned over 100,000 miles on my bone stock 48re. I'm due for a fluid and filter change. Even with 100hp over stock, I am pretty impressed at how well the auto has held up and still shifts well. I also know that I am on borrowed time with it. My question is what are some budget minded...

I have the factory heated fold out towing mirrors on my '04. The glass on the drivers side seems loose and wobbles a lot while driving. The glass on the passenger side is much more stable and doesn't wobble. Is there a way to fix/tighten up the wobble on the drivers side?

Have been looking recently at a gear vendor over/underdrive unit for my pickup. More wishful thinking than anything as they are way out of my price range right now. Seems like the real deal. Big mileage and power improvements, and they are supposed to be very durable. Just wondering if anyone...
