    255/80/R17BF Goodrich tires installed!

    I was running the BFG's for the past 4 years (255 80 R17), but could only get about 24,000 miles out of them before they were on the wear bars. This year (yes, I have had to buy tires annually), I decided to try out the Cooper STT Max in 255 80 R17. So far, the Coopers seem to have a bit more...

    Future DPF Delete question.

    Wow! I got maybe 1-2mpg post delete. I'm curious if your truck is deleted or if you're just passing along some mis-information??

    Future DPF Delete question.

    In Utah, they will do a full OBDII test and they will also perform a visual inspection. To pass (I know, I just did this in Jan), you will need to reinstall your emissions components, then drive your truck for about 2 weeks for the ECM to clear - before getting your emissions test performed.

    Aux (passenger side) battery boil-over!

    So, I just reconnected the AUX/Passenger battery -- with and without the alternator hot lead. With the hot lead connected, truck starts fine, no codes. In-dash volt meter is showing about 14 volts. I took the alternator hot lead off and checked voltages at the lead and the ground terminal on the...

    Aux (passenger side) battery boil-over!

    So, would it be safe to drive the truck to the dealer with just the drivers side battery connected? Since my truck still has 100% warranty coverage for another 30k miles, I figure it would be best for Dodge to determine the root cause, rather than me piling more cash into it (2x batts cost me...

    Aux (passenger side) battery boil-over!

    I've been out turkey hunting these past few days. Each morning, I'd find my truck dead and no power. The only way to get it started has been to jump both batteries. Got home today, pulled both batts. The AUX (passenger side) was venting/boiling over and swollen. After removing that battery...

    Spin on transmission filter fell off

    I'd like to take responsibility, but I didn't install the last set of trans filters. With that being said, they were on there much longer than they should have. . Easily almost 40k miles based on my records, so they needed replacing anyway. Still concerning to see it just laying there. I'm...

    Spin on transmission filter fell off

    So yesterday while heading home for lunch, I notice that my truck really doesn't like shifting 1-2, 2-3 or 3-4. In many cases, it acted like it would rev up, then go from 1st to 4th, followed by a CEL. Pulled codes and got Gear2-4 ratio and Low trans pressure codes (4x codes). I decided the...

    Any opinion on the 6.7 engine?

    I'm on my 2nd 6. 7L CTD. . No reportable issues, tons of power for towing my 43' 5th wheel / toy hauler!

    ATTENTION: California Dodge Diesel Truck Owners, other states need to take notice!!!

    It takes seconds with a battery operated sawz-all to cut the exhaust and be gone. You'd think the local scrap yards would be wise to this, but. . the $ speaks louder than ethics, I suppose.

    Check your Spare

    Old thread, but worth replying. I have a ratchet strap tightened against my spare to ensure it won't just fall off. Additionally, I incorporate my spare into my tire rotation process, every 5-10k miles.

    Diesel Power Mag: 2012 Ram review

    Former US Army, current CIO/CTO (technology & management stuff). I am looking forward to seeing the body styles for the 2013 Mega/Dually's. I hate the elongated rear quarter panels and am hopeful they will offer the 2013 model in the small dually/rear panel as my current rig.

    Diesel Power Mag: 2012 Ram review

    Definitely not cheap. My current rig was priced (MSRP) at $73k. .

    Diesel Power Mag: 2012 Ram review

    Although I have a subscription to this magazine, I had to buy this issue at B&N yesterday. Per the article, the new 2013 Ram will: Tow more than any other 1-ton Have more torque ever (850 lb-feet) Have the largest rear-gears at 11. 8 inches Tow 23,000+ pounds Chev & Ford should fear this...

    Yellowstone

    Storm coming in this weekend (rain / snow). Hopefully he arrives before Sunday. As for current conditions, refer to: http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/snotel/Wyoming/wyoming.html, 31" of snow at elevation, 11" of snow on the ground lower down. Max temp these past days has been 36F. Ah crap: On...

    DPF / Extended Contract Issue

    Harvey: Yes, but I found that initially my dealer chose to "ignore" the EGR code and focus on cleaning the DPF and Turbo. They'd clear codes, then I'd be back in ~300 miles. Finally, I forced them to resolve the EGR issue. Problem went away. Edited to add: That was back when you could pull...

    DPF / Extended Contract Issue

    Sounds like the dealer isn't resolving the core issue: defective/broken EGR. I had a similar experience with my prior 2008 CTD; turbo and DPF would clog every few hundred miles. It turned out the EGR was broken and regen was never occurring.

    Off Roading Dually Off-roading

    I've been there. The last time this happened to me, the rock was like 8 inches in diameter; it was wedged so tight that I couldn't get the lugs off, so instead I went to work with a hammer (for about an hour) and broke it apart piece by piece.

    Should I get latest flash from Dodge?

    I would tend to agree on some instances, but the J35 did indeed help with the regen issues. MPG will definately decrease with J35 as the regen process occurs far more frequently.

    Should I get latest flash from Dodge?

    If you're stock, I'd definitely recommend the J35. I'd find it odd if you didn't already have that flash though.
