    Leaking power steering pump

    Thanks! I will try to go for the whole kit for just a bit more. Much cheaper than the dealer if it is the cause of the leak. It looks like I may be able to get some access to work on the reservoir if I remove the inner fender guard. What hose is the one that causes the hissing? Do I need to...

    Leaking power steering pump

    I took my truck into the dealer for a red fluid leak under the power steering pump area. They "think" it is leaking between the power steering pump and reservior. They qouted me $1300+ to replace the pump, a bracket or two, and a hose claiming Dodge recommends it all be done at the same time...

    Diesel smell in cab

    Mine smells like diesel exhaust when ever the truck is 1. stopped 2. in regen and 3. exterior vent is on. It has happened since they replaced my EGR 20k miles ago. The dealer claims it is "normal". I expect a leaking exhaust/egr connection somewhere, but can not find one.

    Future DPF Delete question.

    It would appear some are buying the Smarty with the on road tune and then getting the ME tune online from other sources. I have not done this, but it appears to be happening.

    Exhaust heat shielding

    I saw that on a later model truck than mine, there was a heat shield around one of the exhaust sensors. Would this assist my trucks emissions working better? If so, would heat shielding wrap work from the turbo back to the DPF to assist in better or less regenerations? A local dodge mechanic...

    Synergy Steering Box Brace Install Questions

    Thanks! That sounds like it would be in the ball park. I mostly wanted to make sure I was not alone on this and doing something silly! Gee, I think I was 185 back in high school... almost 30 years ago.

    Synergy Steering Box Brace Install Questions

    I picked up one from Geno's and was going to install it myself when I noticed the new long bolt is too long for my deep socket. I tried a local tool store that only had a crows foot wrench that they wanted $60 for which was more than I wanted to spend to use it one time. Any ideas on what to...

    What years are the DPF and NOX the same?

    I picked up a new to me DPF and NOX filter off a 2011 2500 (Craigs list from a guy who deleted with a straight pipe) in case I wanted to drill them out to make a stealth delete without trashing my original units on my 2008. Are they the same for 2008 and 2011? I just picked them up last weekend...

    Edge CTS monitor regen status question

    Yeah, that was the same response I got back in Oct was that it was probably my truck. The tech then said he would set it up to capture my program the next time I plugged into the computer so it could be reviewed by thier programing group. I uploaded it to them that day. Then heard nothing and...

    Edge CTS monitor regen status question

    Update: Got an email the other day from Edge indicating they had fixed the issue and to do an update to the Insight online. I did that and now both TCL and DPF Status work! Chris

    Edge CTS monitor regen status question

    I talked with Edge, and they seemed to be concerned, but thought it was a problem with the truck. When I asked if they had seen this issue before, they said no. Mine reads the gear and TC lockup just fine. I have not tried all the other options, but all others I have wanted to use work great. I...

    Edge CTS monitor regen status question

    Got a whoppin' 20k miles so far on the truck since I bought it new. About 1/2 are pulling the trailer. I was able to just break 15k lbs combined weight last trip on my first time across the scales. I tow about 70-75 mph on the interstates (when posted) and hit a lot of mountians in NM and CO so...

    Edge CTS monitor regen status question

    I have had my Edge insight CTS monitor (monitor only, stock program) for a few thousand miles, but the DPF status on the monitor never changes from "off". Every so often the 3 exhaust temps go to around 1100-1200 deg (typically around 500-700), but the monitor still reads DPF status "off". I...

    New EGR Valve

    New EGR Valve

    I would also like to know if it really is a new design. I am not sure if the dealer was being straight with me or not. Could it be a new/improved design with the same dodge part number or would they have another number? I can try to snap a picture of the new one this weekend if that...

    New EGR Valve

    I did not think at the time to ask for the old EGR. Good idea! About 50% of my miles is towing the TT (that is what the truck was purchased for and I have a 91 Jeep Cherokee with 180k miles that is my DD). The Towbin service advisor claimed I should not have the problem again with the new...

    New EGR Valve

    Just got back to Albuquerque NM from Las Vegas NV pulling my 6k lbs TT. Got a CEL while in LV and found the closest dealer was Towbin Dodge. Having seen their "reality" TV show a few years ago, I was somewhat concerned. My Edge Insight told me it was codes P1451 and P042E for soot...

    Truck hesitates "Jerks" while driving

    I have all the latest updates and they checked last week for any additional that may help the shift "jerk". I have noticed that if I drive a while without the EB, it seems to go away. It is much more noticeable with the EB on and shortly after running with it on. When it does happen on mine...

    Truck hesitates "Jerks" while driving

    Mine also does a jerk once in a while when you let off the "gas". It will also do it once in a while at highway speeds if you let off the throttle then get back in it right away. I was told the on-off-on the throttle causes a fuel pressure rise that is released rapidily when you get back on...

    How many miles on your DPF

    12,000 miles and mine got replaced a few months ago due to a code stating it was clogged. Did not notice anything different. The code just came on one day and took it in the next. Maybe I am not driving it enough. About 1/2 the mileage was pulling a 5k lbs travel trailer at interstate speeds...
