    What did I do?

    2003 on the operating table here. Had to buy new batteries cause a friend who borrowed truck left ignition on, killed batteries and then they froze. Finally got them. Got installed correctly. I know it is a question someone will ask. Started and let run for a half hour or so. I go out, hop...

    A little more assistance with P0073 needed.

    Last day of our trip i see the alt is not charging. I got it home, and tested this morning. No charge at all according to the volt meter. I replace the alternator. Now I have a p0073 code. It is the air intake sensor. I can not clear it with the smarty. Seems awfully coincidental? I have...

    Need shop in Knoxville.

    Supposed to leave from NH to TN Wednesday morning. Clutch slipped on me today. Of course it did. I am going to gamble and head out on Wed anyway and treat it very very nice. It's just family and a bagger in the bed. I have taken the tune out and will drive as lite as needed to get there...

    Follow up from Injector replacement

    Did my trip to FL and back in April. Have put some more miles on it. And of course some questions arise when I am hyper sensitive to anything and every thing. Observations are as follows: 1. Cold starts are perfect. Even without grid heater they are perfect. No smoke at all. Little bit of...

    Made it to FL and back!!!

    Made it with little to no problems. Got a newly acquired RV and a used minivan. Got a chance to test the new injectors. I lost about 7 mpg, but I guess I have to accept it cause it happens to everyone. Stopped and looked at a jag e-type that my uncle is deciding what to do with in NJ. Then...

    No left trailer blinker/brake?

    One of the things to solve before next weekend. No left turn signal in the trailer plug. I have nothing at the rear plug. Removed plug and nothing at the pin or socket for left turn. Fuses are good. Relay for left is much louder then right. Started hunting for the relays and could not find...

    What transmission do I have and how much oil?

    03 6 speed. Drained out oil and only got about 3 qts? I pulled the shifter because the fill hole is so low there is no way a lot of oil is going back in according to everything here 6-7 qts? Searching for NV capacity now. Nothing in my owners manual either?

    Covering all basis before I head out on the 20th. Couple How To's?

    I am checking and changing things right now before I head out to FL in two weeks. 1. After 10K miles I seem to have wiped out another carrier bearing? Specific DS shop rebuild whole thing last time? Don't have press so I am sending that one out. Been chasing a vibration that cycles at 1...

    Need to figure this out, end..........

    Thank you to all of you that bang their heads against the wall with me on this problem. Specifically TCDiesel, and Cerebruism (sp). Without people like you none of us can be at home mechanics.............. I hope I can pay it forward someday to someone.

    Need to figure this out now

    My father just gave me his 5th wheel camper which is in FL and of course I am in NH. My 03 with 240K miles has been hard starting cold for some time now, but it does not get driven much in the winter so I have been putting off what I assume to be injectors. They are original to truck. I think I...

    Dash replacement

    I have the obnoxious cracked dash in a zillion places. Bought a new used one from a yard for 75 bucks and just painted it this weekend to match. I also have the recall to do for the airbags. Any chance Dodge will replace the dash for free when they replace the airbags?

    Removing dually fenders

    This is a PITA!!!!! I have three nuts/fasteners/clips that just spin in the plastic of the fender. You have no access at all. If I can get the fender off I can just cut them off and replace, but getting the fender off is another story when the clips spin........ Seems they are endless. Five...

    What to take with me?

    Will be headed to TN from NH in a month. Truck has not been more than 150 miles away from home in a few years. Family is flying, and I have a few days of quiet, just me and the dog with the Goldwing in the back. Have done recent fluid checks and changes. Had a front WB failure last December...

    Can someone check their truck for me?

    I was doing spring time maint yesterday, including replacing the lower control arms which were cracked and about ready to break, fuel filter, oil change, air filter coolant checks, lube checks etc. When I fired it up I heard a faint weird hissing noise, so I grabbed a piece of hose and started...

    No start has finally gotten worse, maybe able to diagnose?

    2003 305hp/6speed, smarty. Yesterday it was 60 degrees and it would not fire without a shot of ether. I am at 230K. I installed a smarty at 200k. Makes no difference if it is in, on various settings or completely disabled. It started out not starting at cold temps without being plugged in...
