1tuffram, Thanks for the heater grid information. It looks like my heaters are working properly according to your service manual information. csevers, I'll check out the website. The heater saver sounds like a good idea since I do alot of in town driving during these cold months...

Turbo Trucker, I'll check the wastegate and make sure the actuator is working. Should I be able to open the wastegate with a pair of pliers? I assume it's pretty tight since it holds 20lbs boost. 1tuffram, The temperature outside was about 45 degrees. I had been driving the truck for...

LSMITH, Thanks for the reply. I put a new IAT sensor in about 2 weeks ago and it didn't seem to change anything. I don't think the MAP and bad idle are related either but it's worth a try I guess. Vance

Hello fellow members, I borrowed a OBDII scanner tool today and got the notorious over boost code. I've read alot of posts on the overboost and am not too worried about it. Since the engine is stock, I must need a new MAP sensor or I need to work on the wastegate I guess. Here's what I'm...

Ncostello, Thanks for the reply. I've searched a few times under idle and can't come up with anything that sounds like my problem. The unique thing about my problem is it only does it when the truck is warm. It looks like these are the possible causes for a lame idle: 1) IAT sensor 2)...

Fellow TDR Members: After using the search engine I can't seem to find anything that sounds like my problem, maybe one of the guru's can help. I have an idle problem that only occurs when the motor is up to operating temperature. The truck idles great until about 180, after that the motor...

Anyone?

I just finished pulling my transfer case out to repair the dreaded 5th gear nut problem and noticed there was a small leak where the cases split. Can I pull the two cases apart and put a new seal in there with out gears falling everywhere? Anyone have any tips? Thanks. Vance

I just finished getting to the transmission, took the tailshaft off and sure enough, the 5th gear nut was off. Thanks for all the help and I guess I'll get the updated one and torque that bad boy on there. Vance

How about the prices for the 6984 splined mainshaft tool and the 6743 nut wrench? I tried finding these online but I guess Chrysler has no parts website other than the Mopar Replacement Parts. That site won't work since I don't need an air filter or wiper blades. Anyone know of a good Dodge...

Thanks for the help guys. Does anyone know what the parts involved would cost, including the special tools? Vance

Thanks for the help Deezul 1 and AKoperdak. I'll do a search on the fix, I was sure that I would have to remove the transmission. You made my night. I was looking through the Technical Service Bulletins and noticed there was a 14 page bulletin that describes the proper repair procedure. Does anyone...

I was traveling in the Black Hills to do some skiing this morning and I had just been on the interstate about 10 minutes. I was in cruise at about 75MPH in 5th gear. Then, the RPM's hit redline, the cruise kicks of and there are no noises of any kind. I can move the shifter to the 5th gear...

Thanks for all the help guys. It's too darn cold here (4 degrees) to look at it now but when it warms up I will check out the coolant hose idea. Eventer:"Are you sure it is not your wife or mother-in-law? Inquiring minds want to know!" After I wrote the post I figured I set myself...

Fellow TDR Members: I have been reading posts at the TDR for a while and finally decided to join up. This site is what convinced me to trade in the Ford for a Dodge, thanks. Now onto business. I have a howling noise that sounds like it's coming from the passenger side vent. I found some...
