Gerg, I believe that there is a string on the 24V (non-drivetrain). There's a neat picture of a 2500 with Lund grille inserts. I responded and illflem got back to me. I've since put the screens (not the solid- inserts) in, and they do help with warm-ups. Check out JCWhitney's Dodge section and...

Thanks, illflem. Will do. ------------------ 2001 driftwood 5spd 4x4 2500 reg. cab

Jyro, 550 miles should be no problem. I made a 647 mile run on a tank with winterized fuel from CT. I made a few stops along the way, plus a seven mile climb up Mt. Washington, then a 7 mile decent in 2nd gear. The truck took 30 gallons when I filled it back at home. At 60-65 you could...

Hey, you guys with the Lunds... where can I get them? They look like exactly the items I've been searching for to help keep my truck warm in the winter. Nice picture. I'm sold. Thanks in advance. dave ------------------ 2001 driftwood 5spd 4x4 2500 reg. cab

Illflem and others: I called Cummins tech support and asked about the "blackish dirt" that I found in my filter after running only 6,000 miles on a fresh filter. Answer, this particular strain of bacteria (the excrement is what is visable) grows without water. All diesel fuel contains some of...

First pump died at 14,800. Bosch is supposedly examining this pump to see what went wrong. Someone else in my area had one die with less than 20,000 on it. If I remember correctly, someone above had one fail at 12,000. Must have been a bad run of pumps on the early 2001's. Mine was built in Jan...

I don't understand how certain truck's mileage goes WAY up after 15-20,000 miles. I've got 14,900 on mine now, and the worst it has ever pulled on a tank is 19. 36. That was on the first tank. Since then it has slowly crept up to 20. 5, where it sits now-every single tank. Straight highway (640...

I use the Stanadyne performance stuff (half bottle to 30 gallons of fuel). A fiend of mine runs it in all of his excavation equipment, in addition to his 94 12V with 70,000. My Inj. pump just died last week at 14,800. Go figure. Well, perhaps if enough folks respond to this message a cause and...

Above should read "I wouldn't buy anything from them". I can't even think straight tonight. It's so nice to have my truck back in the garage. dave Oh, and Kraut, I too, really listen to my engine, so much so that I almost never turn on the radio (drive's my wife nuts). At no time did I hear...

Kraut and all responders. Truck is back on the road. I have to admit that I'm shocked that any dealership could move this fast, but I'm rolling again. My hat's off to them. The truck went in on the flatbed early Wed. ,and they called me Friday afternoon to tell me that it was ready. Shazzam...

I'm psyched. After posting in this weekend on what I thought was a failing / failed lift pump, I find out that I'm flat wrong. Began the day by calling DC roadside assistance (nice folks), then the local dealer to let them know it (truck) was on the way. The flatbed arrived, we loaded my 2001...

Well, I suppose this could be considered a follow up post to the one I sent last night under "Help Surging Engine". I plugged it in last night, went to start it an hour ago and nothing. The lift pump is very audible, but after that, just the starter noise. I should have ignored the dealer's...

Thanks for the answers. JNutter, what is a TPS. Sorry, I just remembered: throttle position sensor. I'll have a look.

I plan on scouring the archives later; but is there anyone who could let me know where to begin looking for the cause of an engine rpm drop and surge? I've got 14,800 on the truck and this has never happened before: I finished climbing a mile long grade, went on for about a 1/2 mile, then went...

Dave, I've been searching high and low for 5/40 delvac to use in my wife's TDI and in my truck, as soon as it hits 20,000. I went to the Mobil site and used their locater to pinpoint a truckstop near my house (50 miles). The problem is that they only carry 15/40 delvac, which is a bit heavy for...

Thanks to everyone for bringing up this whole "need to adjust the drums" thing. At 14,600 I'd never done mine and started noticing that the e-brake was traveling a little further than it used to. The brakes just weren't "right", if you know what I mean. I adjusted them today and noticed an...
