    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Starting problems-fuel leak

    Need help to identify a hard starting problem. I believe that the injector pump keeps on loosing "prime". It acts like it does after changing the fuel filter. Cranks for a few times and then catches and starts rough before it smooths out. Noticed a small spray of fuel coming from the "return to...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Factory ECM has fast idle option in cold weather

    Plug in vs. High Idle A question that I've had is which is better. 1. Plug in the block heater. This means that the factory high idle will never work, or 2. Leave the truck outside, and rely on the "high idle" to warm it up. As cold running as my truck is, I don't understand why DC...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Remote Starter

    Does anyone have any information on a remote starter? What I've seen is that most of the brands, use a simple time delay for "diesel installation". I believe that it would be better to tap off the "wait to start" light, but I haven't found one that provides this option. Does anyone know of one?

    Problem with brakes

    Folks, I've developed a problem that I thought was a simple one... . However I seem to be stumped. After pulling my 8 to 9K TT about 200 miles, I noticed a grinding noise coming from the right rear when I stepped on the brakes. The noise is EXACTLY what you'd hear when the brake shoes are...

    Camper marker lights hook up?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but your tail lights is engerized any time that your park lights are on. Used your Tail Light circuit. Besides, if you have the OEM "Tow Package", the tail light circuit at the plug comes through a seperate relay. This prevents your added marker lights from "loading...

    Overdrive

    Towing in OD I tow a 8-9K TT (depending whether the wife packs the entire house in it). With the 4. 10, I am not comfortable with the OD locked out. The revs on the engine are just too high, at highway speeds. In OD, I run 60mph@2000rpm... perfect. I always figure if the trany takes a dump...

    Cold Idle Engine Warming

    High idle If I had it to do over again, I would have gone with a aftermarket PS high idle kit. But I have already paid for 2 (two) reflashes... . and it still has not worked. Now that I have money invested... . I'm going to get DC to make it work!!!! But this may take all winter!

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Factory ECM has fast idle option in cold weather

    enabling the fast idle Can anyone tell me if there was a seperate setting to enable the fast idle? I watched the tech enable the "3-cylinder operation" but the tech could NOT find an "enabling" function for the fast idle. But of course, neither has worked! It has not been cold enough for...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Factory ECM has fast idle option in cold weather

    Screwed again! Well, after paying for IT twice... IT still doesn't work. What a RIP OFF!!! I'm going to call DC in the morning... for what it's worth!

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Factory ECM has fast idle option in cold weather

    What a hassle! Thanks to all of the TDR members that have provided information on this re-flash. But DC must be playing games with us! First I had my truck re-flashed in November..... it didn't work! I was charged $44. 70 nevertheless! Friday, I took my truck in to have that hood latch...

    Shocks - Why Rancho 9000

    Knowing nothing about shocks, I need some help. I see that the most popular seems to be the Rancho 9000. Why? Rancho 9000, seem to be what the 4-wheeler's like and they came in at about $20. 00 more per shock. Talking with a dealer, Bilstein single tube design was suggested. The dealer...

    Warming up the Cummins?...

    Dixie, Don't forget in the colder weather, block the air flow through the radiator. I slide a piese of cardbard in front of the radiator with a 8-10 inch hole cut in the center of it. It helps keep the beast warm wihen it's cold out... but if you do any pulling, be sure to remove the...

    Trailer bouncing Truck

    Roadranger, It's good news that you fixed the problem by changing out your shocks. I know nothig about shocks, but I've heard the Rancho name mentioned before. As far as loading the trailer, I believe that I pay close attention as to how my trailer is loaded. I only carry enough water to...

    Trailer bouncing Truck

    Folks, I run into a "bucking" problem when going down a concrete Highway. The ridges in the road sets up a resonant bucking between the trailer and the truck. I pull a Prowler 31G LS, using a Reese Dual Cam hitch. To my understanding, there seems to be three ways to address this problem...

    Help! 250 miles away from home with transmission problems

    Well, folks I made it home oaky. As the truck would shift into TCC Lock, i. e. around 45mph, I'd throw the TC Lock-up switch. If it wasn't for the switch, I'd never made it. After reading the TSB, this reflash is to prevent the TCC from un-locking due to electrical noise. It states: "look to...

    Help! 250 miles away from home with transmission problems

    Mopar: You have been the first to tell me that my TC Lock-up switch is a bad thing. I can understand that "overuse" of this switch... would be bad, however in this situation, it really pulled my fat out of the fire. Now please correct me if I am wrong, but, if the computer is telling the TC to...

    Help! 250 miles away from home with transmission problems

    I am in need of advice. Pulling a 9K TT, my transmission started jumping in and out of TC Lock. I was running on level road about 60 to 65 MPH. Needless to say the fluid heated up. I flipped my TC "magic" switch, and the TC stayed locked up, fluid cooled down, with no further problems. Later got...

    Noise coming from Diff.

    Need a little advice. I have developed a noise, kind of a chatter, or growl coming from the differential (I believe). This happens intermittently, always when starting to roll and most noticable turning to the left. (I may not be able to hear it --- if it is happening going down the road. ) I'm...
