I bought an oil service plan with my truck, they will change the oil up to 3 times a year. The problem is I drive more than 15k per year. I am planning on changing the oil myself for the few times a year I need to keep myself in the 4 to 5K change interval. I've used Delo400 oil/fleetguard...

Ok, I got lazy the other day. The nearest diesel is about 15 miles from my house and I needed fuel for the tractor. I figured I had at least 30 gallons sitting in the truck so I decided to siphon some out. (I did this a number of times on my “Brand F” without any problems). As I pushed the...

Here is my scenario: You climb the pass loaded, working the truck for the last 20 miles, the final 5-7 miles you’re running around 1250 EGT and 20 PSI. Once you get to the top and start down, the EGT’s drop like a rock and can end up well below 300 in a matter of minutes. (I don’t tow a lot so...

I’ll be taking my first pull this weekend to break in the truck. 4000 miles on the clock, fresh oil & filter, 100% stock except gauges (Pyro, boost , fuel pressure) I’ve read you want to work them hard before too long to get them broken in right. 7500 pound trailer, probably about 300 miles...

Are you guys monitoring the transmission temp on the 6 speeds? If so, where do you install the sending unit? I read an article a while back that recommended it if you are towing. Thanks. ------------------ 2001. 5 4X4 HO Quad Cab 6 spd LWB, all the normal toys

I have a couple Boston Acoustics’ 2 way speakers that will fit in the rear doors. I have the Infinity system in my truck. I understand the front speakers have an amplifier to drive the rear speakers, so will it be enough to drive the Boston’s? Also, what is the polarity for the speaker wires in...

Just past the 2000 mile mark and boy do I love this truck. Anything I should be on the lookout for in it's early life? When should I do the first oil change? (I know what the BOOK says, but what do you guys do?) Anything else I should do early on? Thanks guys. ------------------ 2001. 5 4X4 HO...

My Brand "F" had a cooler for the 6 speed manual transmission lube. Do we need to worry about this on the NV5600? If so, any good kits out there? Thanks, I did a search but came up empty... ------------------ 2001. 5 4X4 HO Quad Cab 6 spd LWB, all the normal toys

I met a guy who asked me if I knew anything about convertng the Dodge to a crew cab. Has anyone had a conversion done to their truck to get a crew cab? Either a full conversion, or something like the Roadmaster cab extender? If so, pros and cons? Might be a nice way to get the best of both...

How are you guys warming up your trucks in the AM? In the past, (brand “X”) I’ve fired up the truck, let the oil pressure build and let it idle for 20-30 seconds, and take off, running gentle until full operating temp is reached. Is this correct for the Cummins? The manual states something to...

For those of you that follow Ford-Diesel.com, you may reconize the subject of the post. I am a current convert to the Cummins, from the PSD. Although I know quite a bit about the PSD, my knowledge is limited on the Cummins. I've been "lurking and Searching" TDR for a few weeks now so I've...
