Tommy, I would be happy to talk on the phone or come by some time if you are close by. I am in Ramona. I know very little about the Dodge trucks or Cummins diesels, other than What I have been told here. Don't know where the exhaust brake is or what programmers can do; I assume you would need...

Again, thanks. Here is a pic of my other car that fits in the pickup bed. I am in So. Cal. (Ramona)...where are you tommy?. I would be interested in one of those programmers if they are not too pricey and they would improve fuel mileage on my stock setup. I would not want one though if they...

Thanks for the details. I have not had the DPF warning (80%) display, since I drove to Colorado in June hauling my other car in the bed. I think I cleared out the soot pretty well on that run and have limited my driving to 30+ mile trips since then with no issues so far. I have tried to tell...

I had to quit driving my 08 on less than 30-mile trips, to get the DPF warning to stop and fuel mileage to go back up. I am getting 18 to 24 highway again now, hit 25 once on long trip. average is around 21. It has 176,000 on it now and I expect it will last a good while, as I only am using...

You guys with no probs probably started with a new truck....my 2008 was a repaired total, with 175k on it. got it for 8,500$, it ran good then but the front end repairs were never completed, no bumper, smashed intercooler, AC disconnected and no tailgate; bed floor has holes, rust and is bent...

How bout a 69-72 Chevy half ton with a 350 & Quadrajet, 308 gears and a turbo 400. Used to own one and don't remember any big problems.

Well, I stepped up and ordered an intercooler; CSF brand with aluminum tanks "old style 2" core" OEM replacement model. Cost 265$ shipped with tax. Have to push the right hand side of the lower support cross bar back about 3/4" to get the new intercooler to go back and match the upper core...

Ok, first I don't know what a C&C is, but the commercial box was installed into the stock long bed...like a big camper. Nasty 1 inch rusty bolt holes through the bed and bent sheetmetal around them.. and tailgate was missing. this was not a flat bed if that's what C&C is.. can't tell you...

Ok, I got ya. But these springs are way heavier than other 2500s I've seen. probably retrofitted for the big box it used to carry. I don't have a camera (that I know how to use), but I can give a good description: The leaf pack has 6 leafs; the stack measures 3" wide and 3" thick. the bottom...

thanks Tommy, this truck used to get up to 23-24+ mpg highway if the trip was at least 90 miles long. The longer the trip, the better the average mileage got. Around town and under 30 mile trips, it only ran around 15 to 17 MPG. Now however it is down around 13-14; that's not good enough for...

Yeah I was on that site a few days ago. The cheaper Chinese ones, but none are the 2-3/8" core that I have. I know they will fit but are more restrictive and will therefor reduce power a bit. BTW, my truck is definitely a 08 2500 HD (heavy duty)....Has 3500 or 4500 rear springs, It had a big...

Thanks for the support guys; Cummins12V98, you say I bought a 1500 HD 6.7....I hope you meant a 2500 HD, cause that's what it is. Yes, it looks like I made a big mistake. If I wasn't in California, it would be easy to delete the problem, but we need to pass smog here. It is not my mission to...

Last year I bought my first Dodge truck; a 2008 Ram 1500 HD standard cab with 6.7 Cummins. at first it was great, now the re-gen thing is killing me. I would like to clean out the cat/dpi, so just running an empty pipe, but I live in CA and I think it might trigger a code that would keep it...

Last year I bought a used 2008 2500HD. it was a front-end wreck repair but things were still tweaked when I got it. this week I removed the new AC core and found the inter-cooler behind it was really smashed in pretty bad. Couldn't believe it was still working. So I need to replace it. I...

My fuel economy (according to the overhead display) fluctuates greatly from 15 mpg at beginning of a trip to as high as 24 MPG at the end, over about 100 mile distance, then does the same thing on the return. this has happened all 4 trips. I am new to owning Dodges and to Diesels. I wish I...
