It was an intimidating job to say the least. Two hours in, the sight of my entire dash laying in my front seat and wondering if this thing would ever run again was a little overwhelming! But in the end, 4 hours later, my truck was back together with heat and no smell of antifreeze in the cab...

I guess it's time for a heater core. Carpet is not wet yet, but the smell of antifreeze is quite strong when running the heat. My truck is 11 years old, so I guess I'm do. My question is, should I spend the extra money for an OEM heater core and evaporator coil? They are quite a bit higher...

Yesterday was service day for my truck. Oil and filter, both fuel filters and transmission service with a AusTex rebuilt valve body and a new BD deep pan. When I pulled my VB, I found the furthest back accumulator had pushed the head off of one of the screws and the other had backed almost...

I've had an expensive weekend so far. New Dynatrac ball joints, wheel bearings, MOOG steering linkage assembly with Drag Link and Tie Rod Ends, Bilstein shocks, leveling springs and lastly, new front axle u-joints. I dreaded the ball joints, but they were a piece of cake. The originals with...

I have a 2013 2500 Cummins. My steering is choppy on return to center. It doesn't do it consistently. My tires are Michelin XLT 10ply, about 4 months old. I had them rotated this afternoon and it had zero effect. We checked the ball joints and I had relatively no play. Does anyone have any...

I searched the forum and it appears that my CCV filter is in need of changing. I religiously only use Fleetguard or Cummins oil and fuel filters. Do I need to spend the extra time (Ordering) and money for the OEM CCV filter?

While I was bringing my 5th wheel home, I got a couple of warning messages on my EVIC. "Check Trailer Wiring" and "Trailer Disconnected". They happened on flat, smooth road. I carry electrical contact cleaner so I pulled over and cleaned both the truck and the camper 7 Pin connectors. It...

Over the passed few days I've felt that my truck was starting a little sluggish on these cold mornings. After that, it's started as normal throughout the day. Well today, it barely wanted to turnover but it started. If the batteries are going bad, they usually do it when it gets cold. My...

My 2013 2500 CTD is about ready for new pads, both front and rear. I've gotten 115K miles out of the original OEM pads. I tow 3 different trailers. A 12K lb. 5th Wheel, a 18' car hauler and a enclosed cargo trailer. I use my exhaust brake and tow/haul 100% of the time. What pads are you...

I had to make a trip to Tractor Supply this morning. When I got home, I could smell my truck was hot. I had to go around to the passenger side front door and I could feel the heat on my legs coming from under my truck. Did I cut a Regen. short? Will it resume on my next trip?

2013 CTD EVIC gauge shows the truck at 188 to 192 degrees when warm. With the heat full on, dash (face) vents selected, when I turn the fan on high, I get a burst of Good Hot air from the vents. After about 10 seconds, the air goes to lukewarm at best. If I turn the fan back off and wait about...

My camper's wheels look awful. They are/were chrome but it has rusted off in a few places. The camper sat for 9 years and water (Dog Urine) puddled at the bottom of each wheel and the chrome rusted off. The wheels are still solid, they just look bad. What is a good paint or finish for them...

My truck is a 2013 with 93K miles. Should I replace the entire turbo assembly? I can buy a complete turbo with a calibrated actuator for about $2K. The actuator alone is nearly $700 and then I'll have to have it calibrated. What's some thoughts on this? Thanks

We were finally able to take our, new to us, fifth wheel camper out the first time. We have an Army Corps of Engineers Dam and Res. local to us. We can camp with electric and water for $12 a night. It's called the Kerr Scott Lake and Reservoir in Western, NC. Very well maintained and worth...

Yesterday I was driving and as I slowed to make a turn, I heard a chime then the "Service DEF System - See Dealer" message came up on the display. I reached my destination in less than a mile and the message stored in the EVIC. I turned the truck off then restarted it, the message came right...

We had been in the 40's and 50's at night but we dipped into the low 20's this weekend. Those with block heaters, when do you plug it in? Does it make a big difference? My truck takes forever to heat enough to put hot air into the cabin.

I swapped my stock wheels and tires from 265/70/17's to 285/60/20's. My truck (Cummins) came with the standard 3.42 geared rear end. The 265/70/17's were 31.6" tall where as the 285/60/20's are 33.1". This changes the "Final Drive" gear ratio. The speedometer change is not something that...

My truck has been at the dealership for the passed two days for three recalls. No big deal. While they had it, I asked them about installing the "Sales Code" for my factory CD player into the Uconnect 5.0 that I installed from a 2015. When I picked the truck up this evening, no problems with...

My wife has Spotify and wants to listen to "Her" music while riding in the truck. I bought a 3.5 mm cable to make the connection to her iPhone adapter. I assumed that the headphone out from the iPhone to the AUX port would be a simple line-in to the stereo. I'm getting nothing. On a side note...

Going to purchase new tires this week. I'm back and forth between two. Size: LT265/70/17 10 ply 1st option: I bought the truck used and it came with BF Goodrich Rugged Trial - They have about 4/5 32nd of tread left. They are worn even. I have no clue how many miles are on them. I'm looking...
