Was driving back from a camping trip this weekend towing a light trailer (~3000 lb) and I had to stop fairly quickly, not to the floor with the brake pedal or anything like that, but fairly aggresive. When this happened the brake system made a pretty loud hissing sound (not ABS, it did not...

Well after almost 3 months of having the kit at home I was finally able to find some time to get it installed. My first reaction is that Sean's setup is simply awesome. The truck really handles a lot better, for lack of a better description it feels a lot tighter, like you were driving a sports...

Well after quite a few PM’s about my install I was finally talked into doing a write up on the selection and installation of a PTO on the NV5600 transmission (though other transmissions are very similar). I will do this with a series of posts that will follow something along the lines of what is...

Was driving into work yesterday and my baby quit. I was doing about 60 mph on the highway and the truck just started to loose power. I pushed the clutch in and was trying to rev the engine and the rpm just kept decreasing and the engine quit. Once I got pulled over I tired to start it again and...

I am interested in putting a roof rack/gear basket on my Ram. Are there any TDR members out there who have done this? What brand did you use? Are you happy with the performance/weight capacity? I was considering having a permanent one fabed up that would look something like the ones on the...

There have been a few threads on here recently about the Seafoam product. I was in a local parts store on the weekend and they have a brand new display setup with all of the Seafoam products (its obviously making a comeback). I bought two cans and threw them in the tank which was only about...

I just changed the fluid in my trans (NV5600). I had put Royal Purple Suncrhomax in the truck when I did my PTO at about 6800 km. I am at 29,000 km now. The fluid that came out looked something like the colour of burnt ATF. I had (have) no idea what to expect given the heavy purple color of the...

Just a thought on oil sampling. There have been a few threads recently about oil analysis results and wear metals. Lets say that I get an oil centrifuge, and lets assume that it works almost perfectly and removes every little particle including the soot. In this case shouldn't I be centrifuging...

I am going to service my front/rear diffs and transfer case this week. I used the search tool and only came up with a few threads on using fluid other than ATF+4 in the TC. One fellow mentioned using 10W-30 synthetic someone else mentioned using Royal Purple Synchromax, still one other mentioned...

Just thought I would share my expereience with synthetic. I drove the truck on the original oil until 12,000 km as per the severe duty service schedule (sorry for the metric units, eh). I had read all of the arguments on TDR about breaking-in, etc. before going to synthetic, and decided I would...

I have been a long time reader, but this is my first post. Definitely one of the most useful websites I visit. I noticed something the other day when shutting down my truck and was wondering if others have experienced the same thing. I just got back from a short drive and was letting the turbo...
