Hey y'all-- Just before I sold my truck to my stepson, my marine diesel mechanic friend installed Larry's Easy Starter Rebuild kit. He did that because my truck cranked very slowly. I'm going to assume he did the job correctly - he knows what he's doing, and I've never been inside a starter...

I saw it on here somewhere but can't find it now. Can anyone help? THANKS!!!

96 2500 2wd, 4w ABS. All I did was put in new front pads and one front hose last night. I had the bleed screws open when I retracted the caliper pistons. Brakes worked fine before this. All brake parts have 50K or less on them - new (not rebuilt) MC, calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses. (reason...

Just got new tires! Is anyone using Cooper ATP? What pressures do you suggest for unloaded running? 265-70-17 on stock 2005 alloys. Thanks!!

Hey y'all-- My 96 is giving me a hard time today. Drove it yesterday, no prob. Today it was hard to start, crank speed was fine but had to crank more than 30 sec before starting, then it ran like it had lost prime and was trying to catch up. Drove fine for 15 min, shut it off, restarted...

I've got my battery tray out, working on another issue, and I see my Battery Temperature Sensor wires are badly corroded and likely shorting against each other. I don't have a charging problem, and I'd like to replace the sensor before it causes a problem. But all the online catalogs I've looked...

Does anyone know for sure what gauge our battery cables are? My terminal ends are shot and I want to try cutting them off and crimping on eyelet terminals and use Hummer battery terminal ends. Hoping to not replace the entire cables, they're fine. Just need to know what size terminals...

Hey y'all-- I have a 96 2500 with one or two underhood ground wires that have been unhooked for a long time. I've never had a problem that motivated me to look into it until recently. Don't know if it's related, but it's time to deal with it. First wire is attached to the core support on...

Hey y'all-- I'm moving from FL to NY at the end of this month. I plan to sell my 96 2500 when I get there, and buy something a little less heavy-duty. I'm thinking Trailblazer SS. Anyway, I searched Autotrader.com to see what trucks are selling for up there. I found NO 12-valve 2wd Cummins...

Hey, y'all-- My wife just got a job in Rye, starting Feb 2, so we'll get her settled pretty quick, then I'll wrap up here, find a job and head up there myself. Looking for some new friends. Any TDR folks around? BTW, what emissions hassles do we have there? I have stock exhaust with cat...

Hey y'all-- I ran into a guy yesterday with an 06 2500 that the fan had just fallen off of. It had already been towed so I didn't get to see it, but he said miraculously there appeared to be no other damage. So this made me really curious. Is it true that these fans are not threaded so as...

For TDR members, $250 obo. See CL ad http://sarasota.craigslist.org/pts/4059556812.html Call 941 - six eight five - 7504 Thanks!

Hey y'all-- My truck has mild mods (see sig), including a DTT trans and low-stall torque convertor. It idles a hair over 500 RPM in drive, while I think the spec is 600, iirc. Idle in neutral is about 850. According to the factory tach, fwiw. . I don't really want to speed up the...

96 2500 2wd CTD, confirmed 8800 GVW on door sticker. Another member had a similar problem and I posted in his thread, but my truck is down so I'm here in 911. The other poster ended up having the wrong pads, but that doesn't seem to be my problem. I got Napa Ultra Premium pads and...

Hey y'all-- I've read most of the hard starting threads and didn't find a situation quite like mine. I've had my 96 for 4 months. Bought it from a friend, so I'm sure the upgrades & repairs he told me he performed were really done. This problem popped up in the last couple of...

Sorry for the stupid question... :o The guy I bought the truck from said he has a service manual on CD that he'd find and send me, so I haven't bought one yet. I guess I shouldn't wait any longer... . Anyway, he gave me a new oil pressure sender with the truck. I can't find where it goes...

Just the other day, on a Dodge diesel forum somewhere, I found a listing of part numbers for the NAPA replacement trans cooler lines. These are 01-up factory-style steel lines and fittings (this eliminates the plastic quick-connect) that are much cheaper than buying them from the dealer. It was...
