Thank you very much, that makes sense. Went back out to the truck tonight and pulled it , inspected it, re-installed the sender unit in the correct orientation and it works like a charm! :) Thanks again, this site is terrific! Mike Bennett Madera, CA

I've recently aquired a stock 1997 3500 CTD 2wd 5 speed truck with almost 400K miles on it. It runs and drives fine, but I'm planning on pulling a friend's 10,000 pound boat up to a high lake on Friday and have been a little worried about the imfamous NV4500 5th gear nut. Not that I plan on ever...

I'm getting ready to buy a stock 97 extended cab 2wd CTD 1 ton dually. It's been quite a while since I drove anything with a manual transmission, so I thought I'd ask the NV4500 experts here a quick question. The first 4 gears shift fine, but it seems like I have to push harder to get the...

Thanks again for all the great advice. I got to bring the truck over to my house and look closely at it for a couple of hours. 215 hp engine and no EGR stuff that I could see. Crawled underneath from back to front, oily but nothing really bad. Pinion tight, driveshaft u joints OK, only a...

Thanks for the help. I'm hopefully going to find some time on Sunday to look into that oil leak. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for confirming my suspicions regarding the value in this truck. There is no guarantee his father in law will accept a 2k offer, but we're going to see...

Please forgive the beginner questions, I’m not a Dodge CTD owner yet, but I’m currently looking for one. I have run across a truck for sale that, while it’s not exactly what I was looking for, could be quite a deal. Normally, great deals seem to pass me by or I’m a day late and a dollar short...

Folks, Thanks for all the help, I appreciate the guidance and support. I'm not really worried about the sheet metal issues. I admit the missing front drive shaft has me wondering "why?" and I'm thinking what else was just bypassed or removed instead of being repaired properly. It would...

I'm considering a cummins powered '93 4wd club cab. It came from a ranch originally and the sheet metal is rough: dents in most panels, both doors replaced (different colors) front bumper bent, bed replaced with flatbed. Current owner indicates the rancher had some sort of problem with the front...

Thanks for all the feedback, especially the reminders about safety. So we now have: 1st Generation: 12v, 160 hp (is this true even for the non-intercooled early ones?) 5 speed Getrag NP205 transfer case, 1. 96:1 low range leaf spring front suspension D60 king pin front axle with...

Thank you for the quick reply. I forgot to ask, but did the change to coil front springs also happen with the 2nd generation? Thanks again, mike

Brand new TDR member here, great site. I'm considering a Dodge cummins 4wd truck for my daughters first vehicle. My preferences at this point are: 12v, 4wd, 5 speed transmission, single rear wheels. I'm not looking for a base platform to build a hp monster, or a lifted off road giant, just a basic...
