I am having some trouble confirming the right p/n for Spicer U-Joints for my 1993 W-250 (auto trans). Napa says they only carry Precision brand. Napa also says my truck need 6 U-Joints - I thought there was only 5. If somebody can confirm these spicer p/n 's I would sure appreciate it...

Anybody know of a top notch repair shop to replace my 1993 W250 RR mail seal? I'm in Northern Virginia near Washington, DC. Thanks!

You can smack it, and you can whack it, but I don't think you're gonna crack it.

Hi, I am gathering some parts in advance of removing my transmission in order to get at the rear main seal. I have the Cummins RR seal kit, and I have ordered the Piers SFI certified flexplate. I am going to call Cummins and order the cam plug and seal. (Not really clear on the requirement to...

With the winter almost here in the mid-atlantic I finally got up my gumption and decided to change the fuel filter. The first thing I found out was the previous owner had decided to streamline the procedure by not hooking up the electrical wire to the WIF sensor. After silently wishing him a...

Anybody have an actual or estimated cost to have a shop replace my 1993 A/T W250 rear main seal? I called Cummins Baltimore, MD service facility, but since the service mgr. doesn't return my calls I not only don't know how much it should cost but don't have a clue where to get it done. Also I...

I was driving down the road in my '93 Auto doing about 55 when I felt the trans downshift, and I heard the RPM's upshift, and I was required to press down on the gas to maintain my speed. This has happened a few times since the initial surprise. Is this how the truck is letting me know...

I'm trying to understand the "clamp" method of securing my tailgate. I understand this method does not "lock" the tailgate; it just slows down the guy from quickly removing the tailgate from the truck. At first I thought the clamp went on one or the other bottom horiz. post. (which side?) I...

I bought my 1993 W250 about 2 months ago, and had it shipped cross-country from AZ to VA. It was overpriced, and it needs some mechanical attention. But it doesn't have any rust, and, luckily, it has never been hit. I've owned about 30 cars. This is my first Dodge. Also, its my first pickup...

This post is kinda related to the shaking engine on shutdown post. With all that shakin' going on, intercooled engines are connected to the rigid-mounted intercooler by 4 hump hoses (so-called). It seems the humps are there to provide extra play so that the intercooler mounting flanges don't...

I hear a clunking noise shifting into reverse that I am pretty sure is worn u-joints. I saw a diagram of my 4WD propellor shafts, and noticed there is a short shaft in the front and a long shaft at the rear. I would like to confirm that the ujoints I need to be replacing are on the REAR...

I park my truck on the street, facing uphill, and when I shift into drive and take my foot off the brake my truck rolls backwards a significant distance - until I apply the brakes, curse twice, and try it again. One time after driving a short distance it seemed to slip in 1st, one time it semed...

There used to be a set of these on my doors, but they have been removed and all that remains is the scuffed paint. The dealer says he doesn't carry door edge guards anymore. Anybody know where to get a set of these that looks like whatever the dealer used to carry? Thanks Alan 1993...

I am ready to install the thermocouple in my exhaust manifold. Saw somewhere that I should coat the threads of the sensor with high temp. sealant (1600F or higher). Been to 3 auto stores, searched the WWW, can't find this product. Any help? Thanks

I saw a couple of references to the Cummins Engine manual. I looked on Cummins' website, but could not locate this book, which I have heard contains some yoda-wisdom, Cummins Turbo Diesel gospel, and , most importantly, something witty and/or profound I could add to my profile here on TDR. I...

In the Performance Mods sticky posting I noticed the 16cm housing is a stage 1 upgrade, and by the end of stage 2 upgrades it says the auto transmission is pushing the limits. The HX35 turbo upgrade is listed in stage 3. I ordered the PDR HX35/16cm housing combination to replace my turbo...

The sticker on my truck says it has a limited slip differential. The previous owner says he burned up and replaced the rear end about 50K miles ago. Says he paid about $1800 for the new rear. I noticed my truck doesn't do very well on dirt. It'll dig a rut into the ground - with one tire only...

I have a 1993 W250 and removed the air inlet hose to change the air filter and saw the turbo impeller blades are a mess. I see a new turbo and 16cm housing costs about $512. 00 - is this the way to go or should I consider replacing just the impeller and shaft? Is it very risky to drive the truck...

Hi, I just purchased my first pickup, because it had my first diesel under the hood. The diesel makes a very sweet sound, I don't think I have heard such music before. Come to find out, the front brakes are shot and the rotors are pretty badly gouged up. I have done a lot of brake work on...
