    Improving Tow Capabuilty

    I would see if the dealer lets you hook up the trailer to your truck . Then take a good look at it . Look at the sqwat ,look at the frontal area . Now be honest with your self. Ask yourself if you would just hop in the drivers seat and head cross country ? Or I need to mod this or that ?Or this...

    Class Action

    Well it must be the way of the world . A bunch of people learn and love the engine , A bunch in the middle that don't really care either way ,A bunch didn't like it and just traded in the truck and moved on with something else,Then there is the bunch that believe that if their life isn't perfect...

    Dodge gets slammed in Diesel Power Mag!

    I love reading these debates. In my opinion once SAE gets ahold of theses trucks and puts them through the towing test I have a feeling all of these high tow rating numbers will come down no matter whos name is on the hood. I work on a fleet of many trucks ,We have a bunch of Freightliner M2's...

    Sticker shock or should I say Dealer backstab

    I think You should just move on . This dealer isn't ready to deal on this truck yet . They might get lucky and find the 58k they want . Or you might see that truck still sitting on their front line 6 months from now . The best deals right now are going to be all the 2010's still sitting on the...

    Fiat - Iveco

    I hope Dodge and Cummins never part ways . At least the Engine is still made in the USA. Well still not liking the truck being built in Mexico , but at least its on the same continet. I'm shure the Fiat engine is probably good , but won't buy one because this import everything trend is just...

    Engine Fan Broke By wire Tube?

    I would take a good look at your fan hub bearings . and moter mounts . Something is out of line , or moving out of line under load . Since that clutch is wired through the shroud either of these would effect the position of where the fan is in relation to the shroud. The fleet I maintain has...

    amsoil

    I would just stick with what you have been doing the entire time . The best way to squeeze more mileage out is to slow down . Best fuel economy is with egt's aound 500 and boost at 3-4 psi .

    wow - a fabtastic Eagle - like a coot ATV

    I have a couple of the old Coot's , and a couple of the six wheel skid steers also . I also have been over the rubicon trail in my Argo six wheeler, There are pics on the Argo web site. All of these old school atv,s will take you anywhere if you are not in a hurry , they are all slow . Second...

    Gale Banks on Modern Diesels

    I think Banks is just following marketing trends . I see modded Chevy's diesel and not everywhere. Yes there are alot of hot rodded cummins on the road here. However I see alot of Stock dodges running up and down the freeway . I've talked to a few guys at the fuel pumps most do not know or care...

    A Tale of RV Quality - Not

    I think they are lucky they had a trailer . Imagine the problems with the class a's and other powered rvs. I have had a bearing fail on the road with my trailer in Beatty Nv. Had to ditch the trailer drive to Parump to get a new bearing . With a moterized Rv you most likely would be stuck with a...

    Hit 100,000 miles

    I'm so jealous . Who would have thought mileage envy.

    A Tale of RV Quality - Not

    Well at the very least I hope they get some warrenty money from the failed bearing. Very doubtful the dealer would do any more then that . My feeling are since sales where so poor over that year alot of frame and axles sat in factory back lots exposed to the elements . I suspect even partial...

    Ford Conversion

    What is his motivation for this project ?Did something happen to the original engine ?I agree with everybody else probably better to just have stuck with the dodge transmission. Also I would be more interested in watch him doing the conversion himself in his garage rather than him shipping the truck...

    Differential Oil Change Intervals.

    I did my first axle oil change at 30k . The oil still looked new . Diff housing was also clean . the new oil I used is the Eaton Roadranger sever duty oil good for 500k miles. The trucks at work never get axle oil changes . Only top offs when wheel seals leak. Only 2 power divider failures in...

    Heavy Duty truck shoot out. Interesting.

    I love reading these articles. None are ever objective. Seems who ever test track is used seems to have the advantage. so Ford will always win on it home ground, and Chevy will will win on it's. So when dodge does it's next big change I'm sure they will have all to magazines over to there test...

    BD Diesel Steering Box Stabalizer

    I have the BD brand on my 2006 . The results you will feel are a steering system that seems to find center easier . It won't cure wander from other worn parts . I would buy this part again . It won't help fuel economy either

    First cross country trip in my 06 QC Cummins

    Bring an old fasioned paper map . There is a story on the news every month or so about somebody getting lead up a fire road by their GPS. Most of the time just reading over the map to choose your route the night before will keep a person out of trouble too. You don't need to carry an entire Napa...

    Pro's and Con's of Gear Vendor

    The answer depends on what you are expecting the product to do . If you are looking to split gears on a wide ratio trans to help with towing situations. It might come in pretty handy but probably only noticable under heavy loads. If you are looking just to improve fuel economy then you have to...
