At the risk of subjecting myself to a bashing, I too, am thinking about trading my '02 3500 CC DRW for a '06 F-350 PSD CC Dually. My current '02 Dodge truck had a bunch of problems when it was new, including being on lift pump #7 right now (@45k,) and performance issues. Yes - performance...

It should be able to be re-flashed by a dealership or by a Cummins service center using the InSight software. Cummins can load whatever profile you want into it. :D

When I was going through my episode with low power and crappy fuel mileage, a diagnostic trip the regional Cummins service center was in order. While in the process of checking out everything, one thing that was tried was to re-flash the ECM with a different profile to see if it was a profile...

Just a little tip - If you want to keep the bottle and keep it in original location (like me,) just cut a sock (preferably NOT one with a hole in the toe,) long enough to go over the bottle and tie-wrap it in place. Prevents the dripping and misting all over the underside and if you use a white...

One thing to check is the rubber seal gasket (o-ring) in the female schrader fitting. I found that after a while, the diesel softens the gasket to the point where it will collapse under pressure and give you a false reading. The gasket (o-ring) isn't compatable with diesel and it dissolves...

To Motorhead and Pit Bull: The gauge WAS ok; it was the lift pump. Had a new one put on and 15# at start, steady 12# running down the road. The service manager said that in the past, he always got the same pump #5080885AA ( the kit), but this time, it didn't supercede to the old number but to...

Yes. If I remember correctly, it was replaced on lift pump #2 or #3. I'll check my paperwork to verify this. It's weird, cause yesterday, on start-up, the pump pressure came up to 12# (once) when I turned the key to "ON", (not running. ) It didn't drop back down. Almost sounds like the...

Count me in... . I'm at 22. 5k and lift pump #5 is dying! No pressure at start and 1-7# after 2 minute idle and 1-7# while driving (continuously changing. ) I'm past the qualifying point for New York lemon law, I just dread all of the hassle involved with the process. It's a shame; the truck...

From what I have been told, a sharp tech will look at the connection points for a EZ and check for cleaner looking or "handled" connectors. Normally, these connectors have a uniform coating of road dirt and wash, but if you have "touched" and handled the connectors, it will show.

Just turned 20K and I'm on lift pump #5 (that includes the original):(

I was wondering if anyone knows if the 48RE automatic out of a 2003 HO will fit in a 2002 or earlier. If so, maybe it would provide another avenue of solutions to the current 47RE weaknesses as the 48RE is supposed to be capable of handling a H. O. with additional features such as 2nd. gear...

I am passing along info from a very good friend of mine regarding towing mileage. Although he runs a big-block Chevy 1-ton SRW pulling a 28' Gold Rush hauler @ 10k# 375 miles each weekend, the same methods apply. First of all, wings. He towed literally for years before installing a old cab wind...

If it's not too much trouble, may I have a copy as well??? Thanks... -- email address removed --

One thing that will tell you if it's gelling or not is to bring the truck into a heated garage for about 1 hour. I had this problem with a previous truck when a snap cold spell caught the local diesel fuel suppliers off-gaurd by not having winterized fuel out yet. The truck died completely (it...

Just for what's it's worth. I'm at 16k (yes - that 16,000!)and am on l. p. #4. :--) The last three were the latest and greatest p. n. pumps.

Just for what's it's worth, I'm at 16k and am on my 4th L. P. The last three were the "latest and greatest" p. n. pump and even had one with low press. (10#/idle - 5# W. O. T. ) right out of the box. Right now with winterized fuel (drops numbers a bit,) I,m at 14# idle, 10# at 65 mph, and 6-7 at...

My first truck was a 97 3500 without the camper package. I tow about a 8000# tag load and with the 97, while it towed ok and rode nice unloaded, while towing the nose had a tendency to "porpose" a lot on wavy roads, even with the load bars tightened up. My 2002 3500 has the camper package and...

Just a note of caution when checking the pressure at WOT. Do it on the road where the rpm's can be variable. When I had cummins check out my truck for a low power condition, the cummins tech. performed several (4) WOT stall tests th check pressure. Each test lasted about 5-7 seconds. Since then...

Good Luck on getting one from DC. I am still trying to get my truck from being a pig when towing and was going to try replacing the Intake Air Sensor, MAP Sensor and wastegate actuator. The MAP sensor is only available from DC (STAR) with a warranty claim and corresponding trouble code from the...

Well I guess I'm faced with a decision. After all that I have been through with this pig with no change in power or mileage, the dealer says that DC says there is nothing more that they can(will )do to resolve the problem. The truck still cannot pull 7K without having to come out of OD and...
