    Interesting information about Dana 60 Front differential

    One of our friends wrote this tech article about the front Dana 60. I especially like the part about tearing down a plow truck front Dana 60 with over 250K miles and finding it basically in good shape. http://www.mopartruckparts.com/tech/t019.html Tyler has also done several Cummins conversions...

    Trailer Suspension Upgrade

    After having the suspension on our trailer fail twice, we decided to upgrade it's capacity, so it can do the job it should have been capable of doing when it left the factory. Please click the link to see what we did: http://www.mopartruckparts.com/tech/t020.html

    Good quality LED interior lights

    We replaced all our interior incandescent with generic LED lights from r & p carriages. Over half of them have failed or work intermittantly and R & P don't want to help. I don't mind replacing them all again, but I would like to get some good quality LED lights so I don't have to poke too many...

    LED Headlights

    We have been dissatisfied with the brightness of our headlights from day 1. I have tried the Bright Box, but it wasn't reliable. Is there a good well made LED headlight available? I found these on eBay...

    Greasing u-joint.

    Great Idea to paint the spot! You can wrap masking tape around the joint for a few miles so it catches the "sling off" and doesn't get grease all over the bottom of the truck.

    need smarty help

    The problem is not your computer skills (or lack of them). It is the Smarty update/download procedure, which is poorly explained, very unclear and should be an embarrassment to the people selling the product. Smarty has been on the market several years and is an excellent product, but no one...

    Smarty Jr Update Procedure is TERRIBLE!

    Got it Going! I finally got the new programming into the Smarty. Downloading the files, getting them unzipped, initiating the executable and getting the new programming into the Smarty is where I had trouble. Getting the new program into the truck was straightforward. I still think a...

    Smarty Jr Update Procedure is TERRIBLE!

    Is there a link to a well written procedure for updating a Smarty Jr. The information on the MAD Electronics website is very inadequate, incomplete and hard to follow. Is there also a chart that shows what the parameters are for each of the 3 levels? The only parameters shown in the...

    5th wheels and Goose Necks with a short bed?

    I can also enthusiastically endorse the Pull-Rite Super Glide 24K hitch. We purchased one based on my neighbor's favorable experience with the hitch in his short bed Chevrolet. We pull a #9500 Toyhauler and the pin is approximately 1 inch behind the rear axle centerline when we are pulling...

    Need transmission parameter changed

    I spoke with Pat, one of the support techs at BD and he verified that the torque converter does need to be locked up for the exhaust brake to work effectively. He said the ECM finds out from a ground signal supplied on pin 42 that there is an exhaust brake present and it (the ECM) needs to hold...

    Need transmission parameter changed

    It looks like I might be able to use a BD TowLoc Part Number 1067502. Will this work and is it the best way to control torque converter unlock speed? Is there a better way to do this or is there a better product to do this with? Will it interfer with the Smarty? I really would appreciate some advice

    Need transmission parameter changed

    I spoke with John, one of the techs at Carson Dodge and he said they don't have the ability to change a transmission control parameter and they could only see if there was an upgrade to the transmission control software. If there is an upgrade, he said they did not know what affect it would have...
