    7" EVIC change

    Wanting to let those know that you can change from the 3.5" EVIC to a 7" EVIC as long as you have AlfaOBD. I did just this on my Tradesman. What a big difference that it is! Besides all the different choices, it unlocked the ability to change how my AUX switches function. Through the EVIC...

    Remote Oil Filter Adapter BK300-AE

    Just wanted to pass on some information. I run a dual oil filter mount setup on my truck. It's an older Amsoil bypass dual filter setup that I have mounted under passenger floor board on the frame with hydraulic hoses. I'm running dual LF16035's on it. One is full flow and other 10 - 20% flow...

    Blower Motor Speeds

    I think that I've lost a level on the blower resistor. As this is the first time I've crossed this bridge with these trucks. I've got 1, 3,and 4 speed on the dial. Would this be the resistor or would I need to dig into. I was used to when you lost one level, it meant that it would affect...

    67A Bit me in the BACKSIDE!

    I figured that I would have the 67A recall done as it has been stated that it seems to be less EGR and slightly more DEF usage, which would help with the exhaust back through the intake! I had it done on 25 Jul 24 with 179459 on the clock, it lasted till 15 Aug 24 with 179823 on the clock! I...

    Warn Rear Power Kit (32966)

    Just was given this kit from a friend who cleaned out a relatives garage. It's 24' of 2 ga copper ending in an Anderson connector. My question being, should this be connected to passenger side battery on both + and - terminals? Wasn't sure if I could connect the - to frame or engine block. The...

    Replaced the "Killer" Grid Heater Bolt

    Wasn't sure if a had a wiggle on the grid heater bolt or not, So I got the BD replacement kit. I will say that the job wasn't to bad of a job. Was very surprised of the amount of soot that I found in the intake horn and the intake valley. The cleaning of parts was the most time of the whole...

    Needing a mating connector

    I looking to add aux horns and wanting to add a jumper without cutting the factory wires. Found connector 05161919AA goes onto the horns in my truck and I'm looking for a connector to fit since it's a solid mount on horn. This way I can have a switch and relay to go between factory and aux...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    To the TDR crew, How much of a can of WHOOP A$$ am I up against in replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets? How much coolant will I need to drain? Have had the cooler off before and know what that's all about. Just trying to get my "ducks" in a row before tearing it all down. Have acquired...

    On Board Air System

    I have an On Board Air system that uses a York A/C compressor to provide the air. It was made to work on the gas Dodge Rams. I believe with modification, could be made to work on 2nd and 3rd gen trucks with the 5.9's. There is no room to fit my 2014 3500! was gonna go on the 1500 but the 3500...

    Using Edge Mount for GPS

    Took a chance on this purchase and it worked! Had my Garmin GPS on the left hand side of steering wheel on the dash and it always wasn't that stable. Got this from Genos; https://www.genosgarage.com/product/edge-38602-cts3-a-pillar-mount/gauge-mounts5. It fit the Garmin mounting to a T! Rock...

    Centramatic Wheel Balacers

    For those that may be interested in a set of these, they are have special pricing for the month of November. It's for call in orders only though. I can state that it took out the vibrations that I was having with the Firestone tires and the new Laufenns that I now have on the truck! Have...

    Annual Maintenance Check List

    Just finished up with my annual oil/fuel filter changes. While I was at it, I created a check list to go over the truck from bumper to bumper. My state has an annual maintenance requirement for vehicles over 10K. I know that is for commercial vehicles, but you know lawyers! This way if involved...

    FCA V06 Drag link fix

    Just received a letter from FCA that included a description on their fix to an alignment along with a couple of stickers! They say to clean the Drag Link and apply a sticker and keep other to replace or place in manual/door panel. I still don't know that would be enough of an adjustment in some...

    Low Coolant Message

    I'd like to know if others have come across this issue. Plenty of coolant in overflow bottle. Replaced coolant back in Dec when I had actuator go bad along with changing out the hoses. It seems that depending on the curve or road condition causes the message to come up and disappear at times...

    FYI on something to watch for:

    On a trip home this weekend, got the dreaded ding! Looked down to see DEF gauge at ZERO. Of course this throws the truck into de-rate mode.:eek: Was only 10 miles or less from where we started out from, so turned around to start looking for issue. Fortunately My FIL has a garage with lifts a...

    Caution About "Delete" post

    Just came across this on the "Dodge Cummins Forum", https://www.cumminsforum.com/threads/delete-discussions-are-now-prohibited-read-before-posting.2579441/ I think that this may be something to consider as it may affect the forum in general. TDR could be presented with legal paperwork to reveal...

    TPMS sensors

    Changed out my TPMS sensors when I replace tires. There was a lot of back and forth about needing 2 different type of sensors. Not true. All 7 of my sensors are 433Mhz with rubber valve stems. The confusion comes from if you have aluminum wheels with metal valve stems then the inner steel have...

    City Diesel Turbo Actuator

    Just had to replace my actuator on my 2014 with 165k and almost 5k hours combined. Sucks to have to do at this time of year and without a garage/shop to do the work in! On the upside of things, the City Diesel actuator is a well designed replacement for our trucks! Very well done machining on...
