    Cracked windshield

    My 2019 Ram doesn't have a Cummins but it has the same cab. Has there been any history of windshields cracking for no apparent reason? I woke up this morning to find a long crack from the seal to the center of the windshield. No rock chips and it wasn't there yesterday when I parked it. My...

    Any electricians in the house?

    Last week my microwave quit working. Replaced the internal fuse, it blew, so I figured 18 years is as long as I can expect. Today it was the coffee maker. I took the bottom off and one of the little round things on the circuit board is burned in two. Since both are plugged into the same...

    Anyone know how to suppress EMI?

    My 20 ft boat has a sonar unit on the front deck which gives a "picture" of the bottom as well as depth information. The power wires to it run parallel to the power wires to my electric trolling motor that is mounted to the front of the boat. The batteries are in the back. Separate battery...

    Anybody have a 500,000 milestone plate they aren't using?

    I was disappointed to see that 500,000 milestone plates are no longer available. I've been eagerly anticipating getting one for the last year or so. I appreciate the new sticker, but it isn't large enough. I have a new one million sticker, just need the plate to replace the plate I have on my...

    Need some leaf spring knowledge/advice.

    When I got to my destination on my last trip I discovered that one master leaf was broken on my 5th wheel. After talking to a couple welders it was agreed that even a "temporary" welded patch wouldn't hold to get me home. Being that I tend to over engineer my repairs I bought a set of 6000...

    Finally went past 1.5 million miles

    I quit working at the end of 2022 and it has taken forever, it seems, to tack on the 18,000 miles I needed to cross the threshold. I finally did it on the way to Choke Canyon reservoir, not far from Corpus Christie. I'm pretty sure I won't see 1.6 million, Not because the truck won't do it...

    Brake puzzle

    I have been restoring a glass top '54 Ford for the last (please don't laugh) 15+ years. Total body off with as many OEM, NOS parts as I could find during the assembly. I am within inches of buying insurance and actually putting it on the road. It came from the factory with power brakes, power...

    Black eye peas

    No, not the band. Anyone have a pot of them simmering in the kitchen? My Virginian wife insists on them, but I don't mind.

    I need an electrical expert

    Last week while crossing southern ID I noticed that my volt gauge was reading higher than normal. Outside air temp was in the single digits. I reasoned that the cold air was raising the voltage demand on the alternator which is normal. Then my GEN light came on. I have my grid heaters on a...

    I need new clutch linkage

    I just discovered that my South Bend master cylinder is leaking. The last one leaked also, that is why I replaced it. The new price for SB linkage is $373.75 with a TX sales tax of $32.70, total 406.45 On the other hand Luk linkage at RA is $202.79, with the discount, tax and shipping the cost...

    Leaking hub seal

    I just pulled my right/rear hub for the 4th time in less than 100k miles. Once again it is leaking. The first time I just replaced the seal. The second time I didn't install it flush to the hub so that it would ride on a new surface. The 3rd time I installed a speedi-sleeve. This is less...

    21st century technology

    I'm having a conversation with another 2nd gen 12 valve owner. I pointed out that our manual specifies a clean, dry surface for a new front crankshaft seal. His response was that in the course of over 20 years that the seals may have changed and now require lube. His arguement is the book...

    sealed beam headlight amperage draw

    Does anyone know about how many amps/hr a 12 volt sealed beam headlight will draw? I have the task of discharging a 1000 amp hr lithium battery and want an estimate of how long it might take.

    Can any body give a review of Genos radiator?

    Once again I am finding myself in need of a radiator. The $675 custom 4 row I had built by Icebox radiators has come apart at the tank and isn't repairable. I give their quality and warranty a D-. So I am looking at...

    automatically setting the park brake

    My 2019 1500 isn't an eco-diesel but I suspect the circuitry is somewhat the same. If I open the door while the truck is in gear it automatically shifts to park and engages the park brake. It is an aggravation to say the least. Is there a reflash or some other work around that will allow me...

    Dodgeram.org

    Now that Dodge ram.org is unavailable does anyone have the document about disabling the AC in defrost mode. It was shown on the site at one time. http://dodgeram.org/tech/repair/HVAC/Defrost_AC.htm

    Memorial Day

    This was sent to me today and I thought I'd pass it along. Frank Buckles, the last U.S. veteran of World War I, passed away in 2011. His death was described as the “passing of the Great War Generation.” In researching his life, I came to realize that he personified his generation better than...

    CV axle mystery

    My grandson drives an '08 Ford Fusion with front wheel drive. A couple days ago he put it into a muddy ditch, whacked a few small trees with the right front fender, then came to a stop. Besides the sheet metal damage one of the axles popped out. The big ends are still there, but the boots and...
