    A Ford F-150 Diesel???

    This past Friday I took delivery of a 2021 F150 diesel. First impression this is so not the ford that my uncle owned. Quiet is the first takeaway. RAM has stepped up their game with fit and finish in recent years. Ford hasn’t been sleeping they kept pace. I went from a 2013 Ram SLT to a 2021...

    All good things come to an end

    It’s been a fun journey but things have to end sometime. After 32 years, yes I was one of the first owners way back when I bought that 89. My ownership of a Cummins powered truck has come to an end. On Jan 8th 2022 I sold my 2013 Ram and put a deposit on a 2021 F150 diesel. Over the years I’ve...

    Steering Box

    A quick back story… Back in 2018 my 2013 Ram developed the dreaded Death wobble.. It took some time to find the cause which ended up being a set of very wasted XRF ball joints. I never thought they could have been the issue as they only had 30k miles on them and they offered a Million Mile...

    Bad Vibes

    So.. Short story. I’ve had a vibration issue with my 2013 since day 1 . Tried everything, tires, wheels, Centrmatics everything. Finally found a shop that balances drive shafts. I had the dampener come apart when I did the Ujoints recently. It turns out the drive shaft was never made correctly...

    City Diesel Turbo Actuator

    For over the past year I have been praising the City Diesel Actuator as the best option for our trucks when our turbo actuator fails and they do fail. Here is another reason to go with them. Last fall when the cold weather hit my engine developed a surge/ lope when idling. It was worse when it...

    Steering slop an more headaches

    So for the past year I’ve been fighting with a truck that just wants to wonder. A little back story I had the death wobble really really bad last year. So bad that it destroyed the new track bar that I had just installed. The cause ended up being a totally wasted set of XRF million million...

    Rear Driveshaft Headaches

    So I think I finally found the vibration that my truck has been plagued with at speeds above 70 mph. It had been driving me nuts. Truck would shake then after hitting a bump the shake would diminish. Turns out my U joints were bad. Even though they felt good, a bit stiff but good. One set the...

    Diesel Shop near South New Jersey

    Anyone know a reputable shop in Southern New Jersey? I’ve given up trying to service my truck. The fuel rail pressure sensor is showing signs of starting to fail. I’ve attempted to change it and can’t get near it much let alone remove the lifting bracket blocking it. I’m also due for valve...

    2019 Drag link issues

    I just read on another forum the Cummins forum that there have been reports of the new design drag link failing. One person posted a service report that said the loud clunking was due to a bad drag link. It seems that the passenger end is coming apart. Not staked/ crimped properly. No word if...

    Diesel emissions warning

    Evening everyone! I wanted to pass along a warning about the EPA and mobile Emissions Testing. Down here in Southern Nj we currently don’t have mandatory emissions testing on our trucks. A fair amount of trucks are deleted. No problem right? Not so. Family of some friends a few weeks back were...

    Engine surging at idle when cold

    My 2013 has developed a very strange issue. When it’s cold ,engine temp below 125 when you come to a stop while in drive the engine will surge. Best way to describe it if you have ever run a 71 series Detroit with a sticky fuel rack. The engine RPM will go from 575 to 850. Put the truck in...

    Strange noises

    I’m stumped. My 2013 Ram with the 69RFE transmission has developed a strange intermittent noise. Come to a stop and just as the truck stops moving I get a noise like the anti lock breaks have activated. But they haven’t. Bounce the truck over a speed table, sleeping policeman, I get the same noise...

    Check your pitment arm sector shaft Nut !

    I started to notice a vague feeling in my steering wheel. I figured I would install one of those steering box brace kits. I go to install the new extended sector shaft nut and I find the factory nut was loose along with the pitment arm. Thanks Ram for having great quality control. The nut should...

    68RFE transmission Fluid level question

    Anyone notice this with their 68RFE ? I did the fluid and filter service a few months ago when it was warm. Refilled after the drain and filter change with the same amount of fluid as came out. If anything I put in a slight bit more. When the transmission was cold (50 degrees) the level was at the...
