    Dirty film on inside front window

    Started having issues with a film on the inside of the front window. I can clean window and within a couple days it’s back. Any ideas on where to look? It’s a 2003 2500. Stock other than a MBRP exhaust and intake pipe.

    Looking for some help on my 03 drivers side rear window. I had it down a small amount and now it will not go up.

    '03 drivers seat

    Anyone ever use the replacement seat cushion that Genos & Mopar offer? How bad of job is it to replace? How well do they hold up? I am setting on the side frames of the seat. Other options for seats? Thanks

    Oil Change results

    Changed the oil finally and went with Premium blue 15w40. Huge difference. THe first thing I noticed is the hard starts after work setting all day in the cold. It takes a lot longer for the engine to warm up. I'll most likely be going back to synthetic next change due to the above reasons. Not...

    Engine oil questions

    Help me out here, what is the difference in "CJ" and "CI" oil? Intervals seem to be all over the charts here with everyone. Mine has Amsoil in it and has had from day 1. What are some good other options out there? Anyone run Cenpeco or Schaeffers oil. Both are pretty popular around here...

    My turn on vent doors

    I cannot get mine to blow to the defrost vents#@$%!. When on defrost, it blows to the floor only. Dash vents work so so when everything was moving. It would take a minute or so for things to move, but this morning...nothing except warm feet. Looks like the HT doors are the way to go. How long to...

    Air intake pipe questions

    When I bought this truck, the PO had installed some sort of piping and an Amsoil dry air filter. There is no box that the air cleaner sets in and actually the pipe was zip tied to the battery cable. I dont really like this set up, but not sure what brand the pipes are to find a box. It also has...

    Amsoil in the engine

    Bought my truck about 1 year ago and the guy gave me my first oil change with it. It was Amsoikl synthetic and a new Amsoil filter. I know they say 10k mile oil change, but I am a little leary of that. Thoughts? I tow occasionally (not heavy, maybe around 14-16K max at the heaviest) I always...

    Transmission temp and front cover

    Just installed a Genos front cover and it works great. I did notice that the transmission temp is reading around 165-170 with it closed up in the front. Normal? I am not sure what a good temp is for the transmission. I know towing the goose in the summer it would get up to about the same. With it...

    Transmission Slip after setting for a week

    Once a month, I am on "duty" and drive a company truck and mine sets in the garage. After a week, I start it up and put in reverse and there is a delay of up to about 10 seconds or so. I will give some throttle and it will slip in to Reverse and start moving. I have no trouble with this until it...
