There are 270,000 miles on this truck. I have a double clunk that feels like it's coming right up the steering column and it has gotten progressively worse over the years. You feel it most every time when at low speed, stopping or starting from stop lights and stop signs but rarely from turns...

The older I get, the more I miss the wide view tow mirrors. More for the blind spot help than for towing. I have standard powered and heated mirrors now but they are not tow mirrors. I didn't realize I could replace them with a tow equivalent until I stumbled on these. Has anyone done this...

My blower fan is working/not working on a regular basis. The morning first start, it usually runs, all speeds normal. The evening, no fan speed at all. If it runs when I start it, it continues to run as long as I do not turn of the vehicle. It was cold, both times it worked, but it was cold...

I dont mean to pop the top on the worm can, but... I bought my 2001 truck with no rust, and live in central Indiana. I have it treated with "Corrosion Free" mineral oil yearly. The truck has a layer of crud underneath (it is supposed to), but zero underside rust. I highly recommend this if you...

My ignition lock on the steering column has issues. Not electrical issues just locking issues. It is so worn, I can unlock it and start the truck with my Tahoe key. I've watched videos and install looks pretty simple, but my question is, can I buy the Ignition lock keyed to my current key, say...

What is the proper way of locking the engine to torque the injection pump timing gear nut? The recommendation I read was 165 ft lbs. I've done this a number of times before and I believe I stuck a rag under the alternator pulley, but it seems there has to be a better way. The injection pump is...

I'm doing the push rod cover gasket and have the seal kit and yellow RTV to do the job. I have 2 questions. (1) There is a foam cover glued on the outside of the pushrod cover. This foam is broken and falling apart, does a new stock cover come with this insulator? Or is it ok to run without it...

I just noticed a 3/4" gap between the radiator cowl and the radiator. The clips that hold the cowl to the radiator are missing. Probably neglected by the bodyshop when the radiator was replaced. Will any gen 2 dodge truck use those same clips? Thanks.. Gary

Gaskets and seals for the pushrod cover, Quality vs. Cost. What do you think? Is the extra cost of the Cummins parts something that is needed on this job? It appears there are 3 parts to sealing up the cover, the gasket itself, the rubber seal that goes behind the bolts and the metal washer? I...

I run a Fass Titanium Lift Pump. Today I removed the unused lift pump fuel filter canister to get to the IAT and the MAP sensor.I would like to delete this canister permanently. The original banjo fitting is hanging unattached next to the VP44 injection pump. The thing I do not know, is how to...

I changed both fuel filters yesterday, made a 45 mile drive and shut it off. Nothing else was touched. I started the truck today and the idle immediately went up to 1000. I made a short drive and by the time I got it home, it was running about 1200 rpm in park. Any ideas for me? Thanks. Gary...

I have been buying Donaldson Fuel Filters for my Fass Titanium, but I keep getting the extra long water separator. I would rather have the short filter. I have looked on the Fass site, but they do not differentiate between short and long. Could someone please give me a brand and a part number...

The truck will drive about 60 65 miles an hour any laboring of the engine causes black smoke p0230 Code. Lift pump is running and I have 16 lb of pressure. I tried to put this in the help for him but it would not let me post

I purchased a Borgeson power steering pump and hose kit and getting ready to disassemble. I rebuilt the Vacuum pump about 4 years ago, but bought a new seal kit to replace the lip seal and Orings also. Any tips for me? Thanks... Gary 2001 Dodge Ram 5.9 Diesel. Stock Truck.

2001 2nd Gen Truck. I have an oil leak in between the engine Block and the transmission. I cannot tell if it's coming from the oil pan gasket or the rear main.. Is it possible to drop the oil pan as it sits? It doesn't appear possible. Thanks. Gary 2001 Dodge Ram 5.9 Diesel. Stock Truck

I am at this time sitting at a stop light in Rockford Illinois. Truck was running fine, I Pulled up to a stop light and it died. It's turning over fine and with full pedal it tries to fire. Fuel gauge shows 15 lbs. If I keep the pedal down I can get it to hit and run badly but it is blowing...

I am accumulating parts to service the transmission and replace the oil cooler hard lines and hoses. I have a few questions: The Amsoil site shows Total fluid capacity of 16.9 quart. Is this correct? Is a premium fluid an advantage on a 240k daily driver truck with only occasional hauling...

I replaced the pump head on my Fass Titanium last week. All seemed well when I drove the truck to work and back, gauge at 16 psi. I was running errands this afternoon, looked down at the pressure gauge and was reading zero, I was a mile from home so kept driving. A few minutes later, the...

Went outside to do my 4 year charge of my AC system in the 2001 Dodge Ram Diesel. Realized while sitting in my drive that the Fass was not pumping. Went thru fuses all ok. Pulled the connector at the pump itself 12.3 vdc. Cleaned connection and installed plug, whacked the motor with a hammer and...
