I could use a little diagnostic help here. Just to check I'm maybe heading in the right direction... My issue is high EGT's. At idle things are fine but once running EGT's are constantly quite a bit higher than I would consider normal. Cruising down the road, flat terrain, no load, and I can...

Anyone have a recommendation for a supplier of less expensive parts? Less expensive than the dealership at least? I'm in need of an EGR cooler and am hoping to find one for less than the $900 plus the dealer wants. Thanks for any help, Ed

I need to replace the EGR cooler in my 08 CC and have noticed that there are several aftermarket items available which tend to be a little cheaper, and claim to be better, than the factory supplied part. Has anyone any experience with these? Thanks, Ed

I have a situation here. Not sure but I think it could be a sign of a problem. The truck is my 2008 CC 3500 6.7. Its got a bit over 370,000 miles on it and runs great. Its a hard working oil field hot shotting truck and has been since new. The exhaust system is completely stock and original...

Can anyone tell me the thread size of the drain plug on the NV271 transfer case? Thanks, Ed

I'm getting ready to change the oil in both my differentials and am curious what oil others have been using. I called my local Dodge dealer and they said I had to use the oil supplied by American Axle which is a 75-90 fully synth. It seems the oil stated in the owners manual (75-90 synth GL-5)...

OK, so a little while ago my A/C system had a bit of a moment. It was a really hot day on really hot asphalt and while idling the truck with the A/C on the system reached too high of a pressure and the over pressure relief valve opened. It vented some freon and also left a small green puddle of...

Yesterday while working I fired up my truck to cool the cab a bit before starting to drive again. I set the truck on a fast idle and turned on the A/C. While finishing up outside the truck I heard a loud hissing sound, a high pressure air release, and a cloud of gas drifted out from under my...

I have a Espar D4 in my 08 3500 which I use quite a bit. When working I basically live in my truck including most of my sleep time over the course of a few days at a time that I'll be out. I've often wondered just how long I can leave the Espar running and still start the truck again so today...

Stupid things are expensive! Does anyone have any hints on a cheaper place to get a filter for the Aisin transmission? Its looking like around $165 is the best I've found so far.

I've been researching transmission fluids to use in the Aisin trans in my 08 C&C. I was going to go with the Mobil Multi Vehicle fluid which meets the JWS 3309 spec. I'm having a hard time finding this stuff though, everyone has Mobil 1 Synthetic Multi Vehicle fluid but its not JWS 3309...

I'm repairing some crash damage on my 08 3500 and have a slightly bent Ranch Hand legend bumper to deal with. Does anyone know if its possible to straighten these things or is my best option replacement? Thanks a lot, Ed

A recent unplanned off road excursion has left my 3500 broken and bruised. Some front suspension work will be required, new front and rear axle's, some wheels, and what seems the worse is that the jolting popped some rivets holding the right rear front spring hanger to the frame. The hanger...

Could someone tell me the torque spec for the exhaust manifold to head bolts? Thanks for the help, Ed

I'm getting air into my cooling system and figure its either a blown head gasket or a leaking EGR cooler. Any ideas on how to eliminate one or the other? I prefer it to be the EGR cooler of course but I'm not sure how to diagnose and determine which is the problem. No coolant leaks are evident...

I had my '08 3500 C&C in for some minor work today and while there it got the latest flash. Supposed to do some things for the regen and hopefully save some fuel... we'll see. So, I get in the truck to take it home and notice right off that the trans temp readout on my Edge Insight shows N/A...
