I have my first '05 diesel, 3. 73 automatic. My malfunction indicator light came on and I got codes P2607 Intake Air Heater Relay 2 Low and P0071 - Ambient Temp Sensor performance/rationality. Can anyone tell me if these are serious? I am 2000 miles from home, towing a 13k trailer...

Ok, I finally got my X-Monitor installed and drove a 13k trailer from Tucson to San Diego. My truck is an '05 stock, 3. 73, auto. I had to downshift a couple times to 2nd to keep speed up (5-6% grades). My EGT probe is post turbo and climbed above 1100 a couple of times and normally were...

I just installed a pyrometer. I installed it post turbo because it is stock. While pulling a 13k trailer with my 05 3500 DRW, auto, 3. 73 up some small hills, my pyro would read 875 degrees regularly and at one time read 1000 degrees. I was only driving about 62 MPH. Is this normal? I am...

Aside from the obvious answer, What am I supposed to be getting from my boost guage? I have a BD X monitor digital pyro, trans, and boost guage setup. I understand the pyro and the trans temp, but what am I supposed to be reading from the boost? When I accelerate, the boost increases...

I have a brake controller that was installed when I bought my 5th wheel (time delay type). I don't like the way it hesitates when I apply the truck brake before it applies the trailer brakes. Then it only brakes harder the longer you hold the truck brakes down. Not good during an emergency...

I need to ask you experts a question. Have a 2005 3500 diesel auto, 3. 73. When not towing, the truck accelerates normally. However, as it shifts, it feels as if it shifts 2 gears in rapid succession. In other words, it goes from 1st to 2nd, then to 3rd very very quickly. Not even a pause...

I will be installing EGT, Trans temp and boost guages shortly. I don't wish to do this myself; where would you recommend having them installed? I don't know any reputable truck places personally (again, I'm a beginner - LOL). :-laf What type of automotive location would be best? Thanks again...

Ok, now I'm totally confused. If I wait on the exhaust brake, how would you recommend going down long, step grades without an exhaust brake? Should I just put it in 2nd gear and brake hard when needed (so as not to overheat the pads?)? Suggestions truly appreciated. bob

I have a 2005 3500 drw automatic, 3. 73 stock. I want to install an exhaust brake. I've read many seemingly conflicting comments. What would ya'll recommend for an exhaust brake. I've been looking at the Pac Brake. Do I also need a TC lockup module for my '05? That sucker is about $600...

I have a 3500, 5. 9, 3. 73 automatic and I pull a 13k trailer. I am having a pacbrake put on next week and would like to put an EGT guage and possibly a trans temp guage. If you werre installing only tow guages in this situation, would these be the two you put in? Anything else to consider...

I want to get a trans. temp guage and an EGT guage installed in my stock '05 3500. I pull a #13k trailer. What brand guages and where do you recommend purchasing them? I hope this doesn't break rules - just trying to get ideas. bob

I just bought a 3500 dually with 3. 73 gears. I am pulling a 13k 5th wheel. Any recommendations on the oil/trans fluids I should be using? How often do I change them? I pull trailer 30% of the time. Do I need to worry about the transmission and egt's? The truck is stock and I believe...

I have a new 05 DRW 3. 73 auto and towed a new 13k 5th wheel this weekend from Missouri to TX. Been reading some posts about tow/haul and it says when in t/h mode, some engine breaking will occur on downhills. When travelling through the mtns in MO and AR, it didn't notice any downshifting...
