My 99 auto is continuing to suffer from the TC lock/unlock problem: Here's what I have done already: redone ALL grounds and battery connections... . A-OK now Installed quality batteries re-routed alt. to battery wire and wrapped in foil and electrician's tape BD APPS noise filter installed...

My 99 needs a box. Any input from those that have the quick ratio steering box? Good? Bad? Ugly?

Time for brakes, steering box and steering shaft. The front end has been rebuilt with greaseable ball joints and is tight. Steering box is dangerously sloppy (won't adjust) and the steering shaft is toast at 110,000 miles. I need advice on the best parts available for the job at the best...

Another strange twist in the ongoing saga of the 1999-2002 TC problems. Even with a complete cleaning and dialectric greasing of all grounds, good batteries, a DTT trans. filter soldered in, relocation and foiling the battery cable, SunCoast fix, and new top quality alternator the old Dodge is...

Considering changing to 275's before the evil CA. smog inspection. Anyone have them in a CA truck during their inspection? Pass? Fail? I'll dump my Banks BIG HOSS box and install and EZ when the trans. gets overhauled and upgraded.

I use 2 stroke oil for a cheap dose of lubrication. Since I'm lazy I'll dump a quart into 35 gallons. For the first few days my fuel pressure can drop to 13 at idle and pull down to 12 at WOT. After a few days of part time driving the pressure goes back to 16 and stays there. Anyone else seeing...

Jan. 2 found me hauling my horse trailer home after recreating in the desert. On the side of the road I saw what has become typical..... one new, lifted Nissan Titan with big wheels & tires. Attached was a HUGE double axle toy box and the whole rig sat on the shoulder of the Interstate with the...

I am replacing my alternator at 102,000 miles. While I am doing the job would it a be a good idea to replace the idler pulley at the same time? No current issues except the belt rides one notch off center and has since the A/C compressor froze and toasted the belt. Not needing the A/C in coastal...

Has anyone purchased a new, high quality alternator to solve the TC lock/unlock problem and STILL had that problem after the installation? Also, how do you test an alternator for "noise" that is causing many of us problems? Diode replacement has been mentioned as a solution. How big a deal...

CARB says 2010 is the year they want the $$$ by starting diesel smog checks. My modest BANKS Big Hoss box came with a "CARB Approved" decal some years back. How are the more potent boxes going to deal with CARB? I seem to recall there will be a visual exam included to find the nasty gophaster...

Until I solved my TC lock/unlock problems with the help of TDR members and Sun Coast I considered taking the truck to the local dealer for their reflash covering this problem. I hesitated as I do not trust them not to add other flashes that could reduce the power. Has anyone had a bad experience...

I haven't paid attention to the ATF threads since my last trans. service and was surprised to find ATF+4 @ NAPA and other parts stores at generic ATF prices. The last time I changed it the stuff was rare and pricey. It's apparently not all synthetic anymore... . YES? NO?

Anyone have any first hand recommendations on a GOOD shop to properly rebuild my automatic? I want to upgrade the TC, VB, and make a good unit out of the stock slush box.

I've had classic intermittent TC lock/unlock problems typical of my 99. I've installed the BD noise filter, wire brushed/dielectric greased all grounds, aluminum foil on battery cable, added extra ground cable from battery to PCM screw on firewall. This seemed to take care of the problem until...

Can anyone tell me where the closest PEMEX station is to the San Ysidro border crossing? I want to start buying my diesel in Mexico but need directions to the most convenient station. A friend just returned from Mexico and he paid $2. 01 per gallon!!! Gotta love that! :-laf

I know, I know. There's no EZ diagnosis for this little problem but I thought I would throw out the question and see if there are any out there that care to share an opinion. In the last 5000 miles I've developed a late 3~4 shift. No other symptoms. It's worse when cold. Best results are...

Does the Navistar VT365 have the typical problems associated with the Powerstroke version? I'd ask on dieselstop.com but I'm banned there. I lurk on the Ford and GM boards to gleen all the info I can on the "light duty" diesel mills. Apparently mentioning I owned a Cummins powered Dodge was...

Good~Bad~Indifferent? Opinions please from those that own one. Thanks! Soot :confused:

OK ATS folks... . Tell me about how this thing works as opposed to the old Triple-Lock and tell me why it is better. It's getting to transmission overhaul time and I need all the information I can get. I need inputs from real world users... first hand experience from those more knowlegeable than...

The owner of this white RAM has plenty of confidence to run with the BNSF! More power to him... ... literally! <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/williamtuft/Dodge/photo#5152074708785220002"></a>
