    AISIN TSB 2022 3500

    I never felt like I was walking on eggshells with my ‘97 5.9!

    Thanks. It’s not on there so hopefully I can breathe easier.

    AISIN TSB 2022 3500

    As a “new to me owner” I’m trying to understand if the TSB is for all 2022 3500’s with the AISIN? It doesn’t really say nor does it state specific serial numbers. Is this something they check proactively or am I supposed to use it till there’s a problem? Thanks.

    2022 Tradesman Tow Capacity

    Rhino-lined today. Back to the future I guess because I had my then brand new 97 Cummins Rhino’ed when it was “a new thing”. Tint tomorrow.

    2022 Tradesman Tow Capacity

    Flew into Cincinnati Friday and the dealer picked me up at the airport. By 4pm I was on the road back to Las Vegas and I arrived Sunday night around 9pm PST. Today I hooked up for the first time and I see I need a longer Blue Ox shank given how much higher the 3500 is compared to my lifted Tacoma.

    2022 Tradesman Tow Capacity

    I think you’re right about the logo. Perhaps I’ll plastidip them like I did the chrome work on my Tacoma.

    2022 Tradesman Tow Capacity

    Yea I’ve been there with the vin but for some reason it just refers to the owners manual.

    2022 Tradesman Tow Capacity

    After 14 years without a Cummins (‘97 Black Sport Longbed), I’m back!!! I’m picking up a very lightly used 2022 Tradesman, crew cab, shortbed with HO and 3:73 tomorrow and I’m curious as to towing capacity (bumper). I’ve seen a Ram corporate document that states the club cab shortbed...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Quieter Muffler

    Over a year ago I put on a stainless 4" exhaust on my truck. It sounded great (loud). After a year the honeymoon is over and I would like to quiet it down a bit w/o losing flow. Seems to me I recall a muffler suggested for this very reason on TDR but I cant seem to find it. A Walker model...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Troubleshooting help - VERY difficult cold starts

    Well looks like the problem is solved. Spent the better part of the day yesterday screwing around with the different o-rings (three sets) on the Prime-Loc filter and gauge system and never got it to stop weeping fuel. Seems as soon as I screwed the gauge back on, it would pull apart the two...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Troubleshooting help - VERY difficult cold starts

    Thanks for the ideas. Here are some responses, note, I am mechanically challenged beyond the obvious. 1. This problem started about three weeks ago when temps were still in the 50's and 60's. 2. I put a new fleetgaurd filter (prime-loc) this Sunday and did notice that there appeared to be...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Troubleshooting help - VERY difficult cold starts

    Suddenly its become very difficult to get my '97 started. I mean very difficult, even in temps in the 50's. Today in the 30's and 40's I gave up. As a curiousity, I just plugged it in to see if it will startup easily later tonight or in the morning. Any suggestions as to what to look for...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) New Diesel Fuel Stds vs 1997 CTD

    In a nutshell, what are the ramifications of the coming changes in diesel fuel versus a stock '97 CTD fuel system, if any? Thanks in advance. Tom

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Smoke and reduced MPG

    Actually I did not change the turbo or the housing at all - its all stock. All I did was the ATS Manifold, new gaskets for manifold and turbo to manifold, and the 4" exhaust. Thats why I think its so wierd, unless by coinsidence something else happened at the same time. Some one else...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Smoke and reduced MPG

    Since I got the truck new I could count on 18mpg in all round driving, tank and tank out. I am around 14 now. I will make sure to track the next tank full to get another check. The thing that still surprises me though is the amount of smoke at cold startup. blackish blue. Then it dwindles away...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Smoke and reduced MPG

    Thats what I figured the first tank and then I made sure I wasn't "enjoying" it.
