    Coolant Low

    Well guess what?? The low coolant light came on and stayed on for almost all of the almost 700 mile trip I just completed towing my fifth wheel. Not low on coolant and I monitored engine temp on the trip carefully and it was normal. No coolant loss. Think I can conclude the sensor is faulty...

    Coolant Low

    Well guess what? I filled the coolant bottle twice. Took about a quart total and the light stayed on. I ordered the part (which I can return)and a day later the light did not come on and has stayed off for a couple days. Thanks for all the input, never knew we had a low coolant sensor

    Coolant Low

    Truck is 2018 3500 with 39k This is showing up on the instrument panel with a battery symbol. Coolant is not low though I did add about a quart after first had this display. No leaks. Gotta tow a large fifth wheel in about a week and am wondering what is going on. Wonder what turns this on...

    Toyota Water Pump Gasket

    Any knowledgeable Toyota folks out there 2013 Toyota Camry 4 cyl. Time to replace the water pump. I have a new water pump from Aisin which is a Toyota OEM part. I have replaced a number of water pumps through the years but have never seen the type of gasket that came with the pump. The gasket...

    Fuel Filter Service Life

    Truck is a 2018 with only 36K. Just checked my owners manual and it indicated you should change both fuel filters at 15K or 12 months. Certainly understand the 15K requirement but I wonder if the 12 month requirement is not excessive especially when you consider these are not cheap. I have had...

    4 WD Issues

    Truck is a 2018 4WD dually Aisin with a grand total of 33k. In March, 2021 the dealer replaced a part "Actuator-Axle Locker" under warranty. Truck had 22,100 miles at that time. The 4WD feature was never really used from March, 2021 until March, 2023. I did engage it a couple times and drove...

    Transmission Leak

    Have meant to ask this question for some time but haven't. Truck is a 2018 3500 dually 4WD Aisin with all of 33k on it now. I took delivery of the truck in May, 2018. In Sept, 2018 when the truck had 1,801 miles I crawled under the truck and noticed a white powder on the vertical sides of the...

    Clicking noise Key Off

    Truck is a 2018 Tradesman all of 33k miles without push button start. Know this sounds strange but both the wife and I have heard this distinct clicking noise when the key is not in the ignition. Almost sounds like an electrical switch opening or closing. Noise lasts a short period or time...

    Front Wheel Cover 2018 Tradesman

    Have already had to replace one cover but now need to replace the second one. This is the large cover that covers most of the front wheel and not the smaller one that covers the lug nuts. Can't find my record of where I bought the first one but was from E Bay somewhere. Anyone know of a good...

    Low DEF Warning Light

    Low DEF warning light is not on but gauge is in the red zone. Truck will be used very little this summer and hate to add DEF that "might" go bad in our hot summer weather. Was wondering if I could just drive it till the light came on and then add DEF. This is assuming there is a decent window...

    Intermittent Exhaust Brake

    The actuator on my 2018 went out went out in less than three years and less than 30K. I always use the exhaust brake and will sometimes use tow/haul even if not towing. Am guessing mine went out earlier than most that fail.

    Walmart DEF Just Water

    Heard a story recently about a fella who bought a can of paint, opened it when he got home and found out he had a gallon of water. Someone had used the paint, replaced it with water and returned it. Guess tampering is something we should watch out for.

    Code Reader

    Do not have a code reader. Need one to read and hopefully clear codes on my just absolutely wonderful 2018 dually. Have had a Cummins for almost 20 years and never bought a code reader. Appears most folks use something called Alfa. What is the real name and where do I get this device...

    Low Mile 2018 Ram 3500 Turbo Problems

    I had to have a new turbo and actuator installed on my 2018 under warranty with only 29K. Only major repair I have had to a Cummins and I have owned one since Fall 2002. Was not what I expected at such low mileage.

    Big Horn Fifth Wheel Hydraulic Leak in leveling System

    Another issue with my "just absolutely wonderful" 2015 Big Horn fifth wheel. It has the six point automatic hydraulic leveling system by Lippert. Have a small leak where the hydraulic line passes thru the frame on the left side at the rearmost leveling jack. Appears Heartland ran the line...

    2500 versus 3500 for towing 16k pound 5th wheel

    Have towed fifth wheels for 18 years and currently tow a 39 foot Heartland Big Horn piece of junk with a 2018 dually Aisin. Don't claim to be an expert on anything but I would strongly not recommend towing a 16K fifth wheel with a 2500. I agree with others who have said a 2500 is not the right...

    Brake Issue on Fifth Wheel

    I adjusted the brakes twice after the first tow where there were no brakes. I now have acceptable brakes on the trailer. Would like for them to be a little stronger but can use the trailer with current adjustment. May give it one more adjustment. Dexter calls for an adjustment with a...

    Brake Issue on Fifth Wheel

    Truck is a 2018. I left the storage location this morning with the trailer intending to apply the brakes 20 times or so as Lippert recommends in the owners manual to burnish in the brakes. Was quite surprised when there were no brakes. Manual indicates the voltage to the brakes varies from...
