    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Are bypass oil filters really worth having?

    I just finished my recovery from 21 gallons of gas getting put in my diesel truck while out of town this weekend. I did an oil and filter change today and while replacing my wix bypass filter I started wondering if I should remove it. Micro filtering a bit of oil is not that important to me. I...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 21 gallons at 59.52 a gallon

    That's about where I am at after todays oil and filter change. Saturday morning wife Becky and I left in the dodgemahal with the camper on the back for Chinook pass in Washington state for a memorial for my cousin. She died from cancer. We were going to stay the night but decided to come home...

    My dead pedal cure

    I wanted to wait a while to see if it was really gone. I have a couple posts on dead pedal and I wanted to do a stand alone post so the answer did not get lost in a thread somewhere. First off I won't say for sure my findings are not the only cause of dead pedal. Maybe there are others. I ruled...

    4 hours from home. Dead pedal returns yet again, Towel??

    I can't believe this. Nearly 4 thousand bucks later, replacement flashed ECM, OFI replacement VP44, TPS x 2, Grounds cleaned, filters, and probably 10 other things I am not recalling. I have threads on what exactly I did. I have searched the internet and nothing has ever fixed it. The last run...

    Hydroboost slow to return the pedal

    My 2001 24 valve 5 speed 3500 dually has been sitting all winter. I don't drive it in the salt. I fired it up today just to run it down my iced over gravel road to move some fluids and get a charge on the batteries. My hydroboost is taking it's time to return the pedal to the up position...

    Matching a used ECM

    I am still working on a dead pedal problem. I have found a used ECM 900 with no warranty and no returns. I will ask to match the build numbers with mine before buying it. My truck is a 2001 (built in 2/00) 24 valve 3500 quad cab 4x4 5 speed. The donor truck is a 2001 Dodge 2500 4x4 manual...

    3K later, a ton of work and dead pedal is back.

    Arrg... Like a bad case of De' Ja Vu my wife and I were returning from our first camping trip of the summer and sure enough, what I thought was a minor stumble turned into the exact same dead pedal problem we had last year, same exact situation. Not quite as bad as before but enough to make...

    Dead Pedal and a very unsettling trip home

    It started about a month ago. A short power loss while passing someone just long enough to say what was that? Then about a week ago another short blip of no power followed by another. So needing to haul a jeep to Seattle soon, I figured I had better find out if I have an issue. Well I sure...

    Successful headlight restoration using a cerakote kit

    I had mentioned posting in another headlight thread about restoring headlights using a cerakote kit. Well I finally got to it and I am super impressed. Now I would have done this to the Dodgemahal, but I ended up putting in all new lights, relays and pretty much a whole new headlight system...

    2nd gen headlights again, really need something better (safety)

    I bought the 2001 DRW 3500 this summer and it came with what looks like projector aftermarket headlamps. They are abysmal and a tired old maglight would probably work better than the light these put out. They are manufactured poorly and adjusted to where I can put my thumb in the gap between...

    Sudden change with start up fuel pressure

    I noticed a fuel pressure change that happened overnight. I have only owned the truck for a couple months and I am still learning what is normal for this rig. It is a 2001 DRW 3500 24 valve with a 5 speed. It has the 95 GPH FASS adjustable fuel pump located under the bed. Till a couple...

    5th gear findings today, I am dreaming it will last right?

    I have owned the truck 3 months. I know some day some where I will finish the up keep and not have a long list of fix it stuff to think about. Well today the list got a little longer. It's an 01 DRW 3500 turbo diesel with the much loved NV4500. I have been having trouble with the clutch...

    W350 Rusted (front) rear spring hanger just about gone

    Greetings, I have a firewood guy in his 80's that delivers our fire wood. He brought us our first load today and I saw that his spring hanger was seriously damaged from our road salt we get here. I took a chisel and started knocking the scale off so I could seal it with some high zinc...

    Westach fuel pressure gauge inaccurate

    I read about this happening with someone elses truck before picking up my truck a month ago. When I got it the fuel pressure gauge did not work. Knowing you can kill an injection pump with low or no fuel pressure I set about getting it working. I got it to read and it showed 16 PSI and it...

    01 DRW total bed sheetmetal failure

    2001 24 valve dual rear wheel quad cab. I bought the truck from a friends nephew in Seattle about a month ago. I knew the drivers side bed metal had cracked and you could push the whole bed side back and forth with a single finger. So I stuffed a piece of rubber between the tailgate and bed...

    WTB 2nd gen Tail gate stop bumper OEM # 55274842

    Looked online and apparently these are discontinued. For a 2001 Ram 3500 Dual rear wheel, I need a rubber slam/stop bumper for the tailgate door frame. Same right and left sides. Hope to find one in good shape. Or a source for them. Thank you.

    Intro and my new used 01 3500 24V DRW

    I finally got my Dodge diesel tow rig. About a year and a half ago I worked for 10 months to try and convince a guy to sell me his 93 first gen flatbed. It fell through. I let my TDR subscription lapse and moved on as everybody wanted these trucks and prices were more than I felt like giving...
