    Edge CTS3 Caution...

    I thought the CTS3 was a good value with the turbo timer feature built in, thats the main reason I bought it. It replaced my old Edge Attitude with Juice that had totally failed, it was an old model. Well, the CTS3 has never worked right for long. Software updates have been no help, turbo...

    Ranch Hand Summit Bumper

    Took a while to get it, but the Summit series Ranch Hand turned out good. I was looking for something not as heavy as the full pipe versions. They claim 220 pounds. Frontier has a similar one that's supposedly 196 pounds and it reuses the OEM mounts and its thinner metal. The Summit is mostly...

    Custom Flow Tail Gate Installed

    I should have gotten one of these years ago. I can see so much better when running without a trailer too. I really didn't realize how much I would like it. I carry light weight stuff in the bed and occasionally a generator. But mostly just small stuff. Its nice not having to drop the tailgate to...

    Smarty POD with Edge CTS3 Combo FYI

    I didn't find the POD/Edge CTS3 control issue mentioned on the TDR forum, so I thought I would put it on here. But, maybe my searching missed it. I recently upgraded to a CTS3 monitor and found it was not plug and play with the Smarty S-06 PoD. It actually defaults to a PoD number of -1. So...

    Black's Diesel Perfomance Transmissions?

    Looking around for a transmission shop and it looks like Black's is the closest one to my location in Alabama that uses the Goerend parts. I want a rebuild and install at one shop, just a stage one trans. Don't see any recent feedback online, is Black's a decent option? There are a couple diesel...

    Lift pump won't prime!

    The new latest and greatest Cummins Chinese pump is hard to push on, but it won't suck fuel from the tank. I thought it would be a quick fix again, I've changed the lift pumps out before. But, I can't get it to suck fuel much at all, pump primed a little and now its just air. I'm guessing it...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Bogging down, blowing smoke and dieing!

    My 95 12 valve is out of service sadly, I have been reading about fuel system issues again. At 1500 rpm the engine blows black then white smoke and dies. I can barely run 45 mph with light throttle. I can get a quick burst of throttle with 20 psi of boost before it drops to 500 rpm and stalls...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Intercooler Boots Options? Better than BD?

    Been getting more black smoke and a hissing noise, so 20 psi on an intake tester mounted to the turbo showed me more leaks than I imagined. I've been running BD Power's blue intercooler boot kit with the spring clamps since 2007. They are leaking on me, 3 out of 4 leak now. I twisted and tweaked...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Boost issues? Turning it down?

    I've been hitting over 45 psi too easy lately. I have adjusted the gov arm and put in a new lift pump, fixed my fuel lines, slid my #6 full forward and its a beast. I thought my leaking and weak waste gate actuator was the big issue allowing boost well over 40 psi. Rolling the throttle on...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Auto trans heat exchanger still availble?

    My heat exchanger below the turbo appears to be leaking coolant. Are these available somewhere for less than $350 to $455, or are they just bypassed these days? Cummins seems to be $350 plus from my googling. Makes me want to bypass it.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) S300 Waste Gate

    While testing my transmission shift points I realized my waste gate is sticking. My HTT S300 surges over 50 psi and above 30 psi sustained it whistles loud. The rod moves about a 1/2" with 40 psi on it, at 30 psi it moves about 3/16" and leaks down quick. So, its not stuck, but rather not...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) TV Cable Length Issue?

    I've been getting early shifts with my 47RH with light and heavy throttle, so I tried to adjust the TV cable. With it pulled towards the firewall all they way and with the bracket at the trans tweaked too, I still have a fat 1/4" left in the lever at the trans. Is that 1/4" from full travel a...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Thumbs up for the FTE resonator

    I've been running my 12 valve straight piped. Maybe I'm accustomed to the bark and raspy tone, because the 4" x 30" FTE resonator really made the truck tame while retaining the signature 12 valve sound. The little sucker made a big difference with my 95 3500 with a right rear turn down. The...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 47RH mystery leak on driver's side?

    I've been hunting decent sized ATF leaks, but I can't pin point the driver's side leak on the trans. It sprays ATF on the driver's side up to the shift linkage and then its dry, I watch it underneath while its in gear or neutral hot or cold, doesn't leak. I guess its only leaking while driving...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2wd Control Arm quaility opinions?

    I'm thinking about replacing the upper and lower control arms on my 95 2wd dually, it needs upper and lower ball joints, the bushings are all cracked. Are the Dorman or Moog arms any good? Or should I stick with Mopar? I've been looking for a OEM part, shows discontinued on most sites? I figure...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Transfer Pump Leak Question

    My 95 has been loosing prime again. I have replaced the two fuel lines at the fire wall in the past and that solved the leaking issue. So, now I have a stock fuel heater arrangement with a primelock and the primmer button on the pump is slowly leaking fuel. Reading the forums it looks like I...

    P2146 question...

    I lost power the other day, code P2146 popped up. No issues since. I read up on the P2146 threads, checked the connectors, pulled the rocker cover. Nothing seems off, no bare wires, runs fine now. When you pull the cover, is there anything to look at in paticular? I guess it will pop up...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Valve check results...

    I've been lax regarding my valve checks so, its been a while... My first check @ 84K or so resulted in finding the #1 exhaust valve slightly tight. All others felt good with only slight drag on the feeler. . I'm surprised to only find one valve out of spec with the heavy fueling and heavy...

    HVAC Mode 2 door question???

    I think I probably need the blend door since I have warm air on the passenger side all the time and the system is charged. The Re-circ door seems to be partially open since it doesn't blow hard, it does ice up in Re-Circ mode after 30 minutes. I can't separate the floor from the windshield in...

    Ultralite series 2" boost gauge (0-35 psi)

    I have a used 35 psi boost guage in good condition. I replaced it with a 60 psi version since I've pushing things a bit lately. Its the silver faced Ultralite. I have the full install kit with new bulb, tubing etc... and directions, all in the box the new one came in. It looks great and...
