2016 2500. Wont go over 5mph. Local dealer says they cant fit me in for three weeks. I was able to reset CEL, but not 5mph limit. Anyone know a local shop that can reset this pos?

My first oil analysis. I changed the factory fill at 3K. Used Amsoil 5w40 (CJ) and Fleetguard 9028. Oil had 7k miles (not 6k, brain fart) on it. No makeup oil added. Truck has mostly highway miles and occasionally towing my 23ft boat which weighs in around 6k lbs wet with the trailer. Air...

The restoration project at the railroad museum I volunteer at hit a major milestone yesterday. :cool: Southern Pacific 9010 No Facebook account is needed to view.

My buddy has a 97 Dually. It has a TST kit (can't remember which) and EGR is deleted. Truck recently started blowing black smoke, with low boost pressure and reduced power. My first thought was the intake hoses. He found one with a small hole in it, so he installed all new hoses and clamps. This...

I am trying to find a replacement diaphagm for an old bolt type air brake chamber. From what I can see it is a Borg Warner "Type A". This is on a Fairmont A6F railroad motorcar that uses a single air brake chamber to activate the brakes. Replacing it with a newer clamp type chamber will...

Anyone know how to disconnect the ball joints on the throttle rod? Mine broke on the threaded portion going across the salt flats in Utah. We were able to splint it together with some heavy electrical wire and hose clamps. Held long enough to get us home, although I didn't quite get full...

While checking over my truck today, I noticed that the left lower ball joint looked shifted over. I jacked up the wheel and there is about an 1/8 of an inch of play in the joint. The other three joints look ok. I am supposed to leave on a hunting trip to Colorado in two days. This is about an...

Had a shop install a new South Bend 13. 25" clutch and flywheel in my truck this week. After the install they called and said the clutch was not fully disengaging until the pedal was almost to the floor. They recommended a new hydraulic master/slave unit. I had noticed this before I took the...

I believe my pilot bearing has seized up after 120K miles. Time for a clutch job. If anyone can recommend a good shop that knows what they are doing, it would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Anyone out there in CO know whats going on with this area? We have been hunting the BLM land there for about 10 years now. We were told by DOW and BLM that this will probably be the last year for public access. Seems they will be making swiss cheese out of the area drilling for gas. The...

Well, we've had the new F550 in service for a couple of months now. So far it is performing well. (the "check engine" light only came on a couple of times. :-laf ). It's great to have the larger chassis to handle the weight that we carry. I had the opportunity to drive it a couple of times. The...

Anyone know of a good shop to get the timing checked on a 94 12V in this area. I seem to recall a shop in Stockton was mentioned in this forum some time ago, but I coulcn't find anything. TIA for any replies...

My buddy has a '94 5-speed with a tst 230/605 kit installed. During our recent hunting trip to Colorado his truck would smoke heavily and have no power when it was cold outside. It would clear up when the engine warmed up. He also was experiencing higher than normal egt's when traveling on the...

I installed the EGR rear drum brake package a few weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone who has the same package has had a problem with the brakes being grabby at slow speeds? This is not a "flash rust" problem, as it happens all the time, not just in the morning. I'm talking speeds below 3 to 5...

Anybody have any experience with or knowledge of either of these products available from www.tirerack.com? http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/ebc/rotors.jsp?autoMake=Dodge&autoModel=Ram+2500&autoYear=1996&make=EBC&model=EBC+Sport+Grooved+Rotors or...

I will try to make this short. I know there are a lot of hunters here, so I would like to get some opinions if I may. I took the elk I got this year in Colorado to a local meat packing company. They were backed up for a few weeks since it seemed to be a good hunting year. Since I couldn't...

Looking to buy a TT next year some time. My wife and I really like the Arctic Fox line. The problem is all the RV's we've looked at have a "prison grade" mattress on the main bed. I was wondering if a regular queen size mattress could be switched? Anyone ever done this? I would hate to go out...

Anyone know where I can find the tab dimensions. Every time I try a seach I get the "forums have moved to a new server" message. TIA

Time to replace the tires on my 6X10 atv trailer. Everyone wants to sell me the same POS made in Taiwan trailer service tires that I am replacing. Can someone tell me what metric size would be close to an F78-15? I'm guessing 205/75-15 but if anyone knows for sure I'm all ears. TIA

Go to your local Dodge Dealer and order part #52019170AB. It is a section of 4" pipe flared down on one end to 3". It fits in place of the cat perfectly. Costs about $45.
