    Warm Up Question

    Hey, fellas. I notice my 04 takes about 8 to 10 miles of driving to get up to operating temperature. Is this normal? My lil Honda wagon heats up in about a mile and a half but I know it doesn't have the cast iron this Cummins does. Thanks for any insight. Also, do I have the fast idle warm up...

    Help! 48RE stuck in Park

    I think I have a bad connection or brake switch. It has hung up in park. Once I got it out and did not have the brake on so I figure it is the brake switch. Any advice on how I can get it on the road and to the dealer for warranty repair? Thanks

    MPG chip advice

    I have an 04 2500 stock except for duals and a Goerend TC/VB upgrade package. Only 30k miles. Love it! My neighbor has a Duramax that he chipped with no other mods and the mpg went way up! I am looking for a recommendation for a chip that is designed for efficiency and possibly slight power...

    How does it work ATS Commander

    Can this unit be programmed to change the ECM commanded tcc lock up? In other words, can I input the mph at which I want the tcc to lock up in overdrive and also unlock? Is it independent of throttle? How do you like yours if you have one? Easy install? Thanks

    First negative post about Goerend Brothers?

    Yeah, right! Not from me! I just wanted to let you all know that my 04 2500 4x4 qc (all stock but for MBRP Cool Duals) is now a dream come true to drive. Got the 3d tc and vb, apply lever, servo spring, etc. from Dave last week. Local transmission shop in Raleigh NC (Supreme Auto Service) did the...

    Goerend's won my business

    Decided to go with Dave. Got a triple disc, vb and a few other mods on the way to NC. This guy calls when he says he will call and takes the time and effort to educate. You never feel like you are taking time away from something else he might have to do. Never heard one negative word from him...

    Help me decide which TC/VB please

    Guys, I can’t decide which TC/VB combo to go with. This much I know: the stock TC must go. I am tired of the looseness. I am only considering only the Goerend Brothers and DTT. Dave G is a treasure as many here have noted, and DTT is also known for its product and service after the sale. So I...

    Advice Please; dealer screwed up warranty repair

    I took my 04 2500 to the Dodge dealer in Cary NC after they said my TC was slipping. Warranty repair, so I figured it couldn't hurt though I questioned their diagnosis. Well, not only did the new TC not fix the problem, they dented my transmission pan, scratched the driver door, the t/c is leaking and...

    Manual 6 speed question: Ordering new truck

    Well, I think I may trade my 04 2500 for a new 06 2500 Mega Cab with the 6 speed manual. I assume I will have to order it given how rare the manual is. Someone noted that there are two manual trans used from 04. 5 - 06 and that one is preferred over the other. This is news to me. Was there a...

    48RE Fluid Replacement

    I want to perform the fluid replacement by disconnecting a fluid line and connecting a hose running to drain pan. Somewhere here I found the instructions for this, but I cannot locate them now. I need to know the procedure so I don't starve the pump and which line to disconnect (the upper line I...

    48RE behavior question

    I am trying to decide if I need to take my 2004 2500 QuadCab to a second Dodge service facility for an opinion. The truck is new to me and has only 29k miles. It shifts fine under normal conditions. If I get into the throttle (1/2 wot or more) and accelerate thru the gears, there is a split...
