Thanks for the explanation Gene. I was totally unaware of the thermal cluth that could engage. You guys are great.

thanks for the replies. regarding the temp gauge, I have not seen any changes in the temp reading during hearing the sound. I will check my fluid level on the radiator to see if it is low. I did not know there was an electric fan that engaged and disengaged! I will let you know

I have been hearing a strange sound lately while driving on the highway on the last couple of trips. Everything sounds normal, then all of a sudden it sounds like a fan noise kicks in on the motor, revs up (not the motor, the noise), then releases and goes away. All of this last approx 25...

Thanks for the info Holeshot. . of course i have another question. :) How long does the install take, and how difficult? That brings up one other question. I just did a highway run of approx 600 miles, running 70 - 80 mph most of the way. I got about 19 mpg. I have a 4x4 ex cab with auto...

hell all. what do the 3k springs do? How much $$$? I do not have any gauges so I assume I would need to do that first, but cost info would help. thanks

My cruise control all of a sudden is not working. Recently, it was working, however it you hit a big bump in the road, it would shut off. Once it would shut off, you could not reset it until you turned off the truck and restarted. Now, I cannot get it to work at all. The little light come on...

Thanks for all of the ideas. I will change my air filter and see what that does. I did do the tab repair on my KDP a few months ago, it may be possible that the timing is off as I did not have anything to accurately guage the harmonic balancer.

I have a 96 auto with approximately 117k miles. Recently I noticed some black smoke, but I am wondering what is normal and excessive. I get some on start up. While crusing at 40mph, if I punch the gas a little, I get a short burst of black smoke out the pipe. . Is this normal? I get 15mph in...

What is the TPS that needs cleaning? What does TPS stand for?

Thanks for the all of the info! The members of this site are great! I always know anything about my dodge can be answered here. thanks again

2nd repair I am working on currently. I need to replace the front pinion seal and both front output seals on the transfer case as they are leaking. I though I read here that someone had replaced them without too much trouble. Shop wants $360 in labor to change everything out. Any experience...

I need to replace by left front U-Joint per the shop and they want $237 to do it, $162 labor and $75 for the part. Has anyone done this replacement? How tough was it? I am considering taking this on myself. thanks

Has anyone installed the fuel filter relocation kit, I think it is from Geno's? I am considering investing the $100 plus $$ for the kit because I think it would get me to change out the filter on a more consistent basis. Anyone use this, and does it install easy and work well?

thanks holeshot. i will give that a try

96 4x4 auto with 115k miles. My transfer case has started to leak fluid at the rear gasket. I checked the shaft and it does not appear to be leaking there, only at the gasket. I attempted to check the bolts for tightness, however you cannot access the two bottom ones without lowering the...

Thanks guys for the responses. Now I need to work on my mpg as I have been getting 16/19, would like to see 18/21 if possible. thanks for your help

Just wanted to let everyone know I killed the KDP this past weekend with the tab method. Thanks to Bruce Adams and Richard Ebel for supplying me with the info and tab. It was a great help and could not of done this without! The KDP was out about 1/8" and the bolt next to it was loose. Veh...

Yesterday I noticed a leak under my truck. I have owned it for approx one month and it has been dry as a bone. After looking at it today underneath, looks like it is the seal between the transmission and transfer case that is leaking. Is this common, just old age, or is there some other issue I...

This has not been mentioned, but have you considered a steel roll top? It can give you some of both worlds. You can still haul items as it easily rolls up, it locks for security, and stays pretty dry. We just had a heavy rain here and there is some moisture that gets in, but the majority of bed...

I am considering a bypass system and noticed your prior note regarding single vs dual. If I go with the single bypass, can't I still put a sample valve on the "in" line going to the bypass to get an accurate sample? Oilguard bypass filters are only $11, quite a bit less than the Amsoil. Any...
