My '98 (2500, 12V, 4WD, club cab, long bed, auto, ordered 8/97, delivered 10/97, 355k miles, ATS tripleloc TC and VB, 3k GSK, 215HP injectors) is finally reaching the end of its golden years after driving it 27 years. (I think the clutches in the rear diff are disintegrating, and body cancer is...

It would be useful if we could search our own content. There are things I posted way back (close to the beginning of TDR), but darned if I can find it. Be nice to search for keywords, phrases, and even limited time spans. Of course, I could be blind and just not seeing it.

I may have discovered why these headlight switches have a tendency to melt. Troooper stopped me on I81 on my way home: no taillights. Whilst it wasn't a stormy night, it was dark and raining a little. No ticket; he let me get off the next exit (¼ mile away) to do something to get lights...

Been a long time since I posted a question. I'm still driving my '98 that I got in October, '97. Last month as I was leaving my sister's house in NW Wisconsin, reverse all but vanished. I drove back to Virginia being careful about not needing to back up; forward gears were OK (except for the...

'98 12V 2500, 325k miles, original vacuum and P/S pumps. Out of the blue, I lost power steering and brakes. Since then, I heard/felt an occasional 'thump' or 'click/tick' as though the pump was trying to work. Fluid level is OK, and fluid doesn't seem to 'move'. One poster here said his vacuum...

Prolly belongs in other, but it's really shop-related. Why Men Need Toolboxes

Is something odd happening with the site? Last few days (about a weeks or so), it's become a toss-up whether I'l see the TDR site with the usual desktop layout or the more compact phone/table layout. I know *I* haven't changed anything deliberately. I logged out and back in. I cleared the entire...

Firefox v45.7.0 renders <ENTER> as a space when composing a reply; chrome seems to be OK. But after submitting, the newlines render as expected. (Oh, great; creating this thread, <ENTER> works correctly.) Also, in this forum's page, the upper 'post new thread' button works, but the lower one...

It's been a few years since I last posted my lyrics to the popular Christmas song. Merry Christmas to all!

Using Debian Jessie on desktop. Using Chrome bowser, language is set to English (US). First, trying to attach this PNG: clicked "Add Files" Selected my pic Clicked "Insert Inline" or "Done" Got dialog: "www.turbodieselregister.com says undefined" Got the pic attached using drag-n-drop.Second...

I was at an Irish wedding reception last week. Early on, someone yelled out, " All you married men: stand beside the one person who has made your life worth living!" The barman was nearly crushed to death.

I know this was brought up in the past, but I can't find the thread. The current version(s) of Chrome/Chromium seem to have fixed the 'double post' problem. Some previous version(s) of Chrome/Chromium would silently resubmit forms when I used the bowser's 'back' button after submitting a...

My '98 47RE just developed a new trick. Reverse is OK. But put it in any forward gear and it goes into first but immediately shifts into second (in less than about 1/2 second). And never returns to first. And I think it no longer downshifts after a stop. Upshifting, OD and TC control seem OK...

Apparently former TDR member Mark Koskenmaki died in his sleep last night. A TDR member in northern Illinois should be able to find concrete information in a day or so.

For anyone else who may encounter this on an archaic truck. Not long ago, my speedo started wandering. Never over the current speed, sometimes at the speed, often well under teh speed, and sometimes dropping to zero. Seemed to be more stable on smooth road and less stable on rough road. I...

I can finally say I wore out a KYB monotube shock absorber. I first used them on my '84 200SX, back in '84 or so. After 190k miles on the shocks, I realized the truck's rocking was pounding my sore ribs (a tragic ladder-gave-way-I-fell-twelve-feet story). So I pulled the rear shocks. They...

(Spoke too soon; nothing's changed.) Just noticed this seems to work better. Since the new forum software was installed, I'd had to use another browser to post or reply. Don't know if the forum or browser changed. And it remains to be seen if Chromium still automatically resubmits every...

The end of my dieseling days? My trunk is down for the count. Getting onto I-81S this afternoon, it took its time shifting to OD. About the time it did shift, I felt a kind-of 'almost thump', and it stopped going. Nothing in any gear. Sounds like the input shaft went. 280K miles, and maybe...

It's been long enough; I've been expired here for some months. Time to finish it. It's been an interesting 14 years, first with the Cummins mailing list, then with the pre-TDR site, then the present site. I've been to Hell (MI), and through hell (DHRA). My disintegrating truck and Mason Dixon...
