    Suspension Question.

    This thread intriqued me since my rv rides about an inch high, but I tolerate it in order to get the added clearance between the bedrails and the rv. However, I am really paranoid of doing anything that might affect my warranty or cause premature wear on anything, so I called my dealer. He said...

    Transmission idiot light

    Thanks for the replies. Didn't know the light was set to come on at 265. You would think something lower would be more useful. According to other information I have found, 265 is where seal damage begins to happen. 235 may have been a better setting.

    Transmission idiot light

    In a previous thread concerning transmissions, someone had mentioned that it isn't good to rely on the Dodge supplied trans overheat light and that I should get a seperate gauge. Why is this? Does the Dodge light not give sufficient warning? Is it set too high or incorrectly placed? Doesn't...

    Short trips

    I have a friend who's looking at buying a 3500, but he says it will be the wifes rig and she will be driving it daily 2 miles back and forth to work. Some of it will be during northern US winters. Will the pickup hold up to that kind of driving? I told him I thought he might have to do more...

    Auto trans over rev's when shifting

    That doesn't sound very encouraging. I have about 5k on the rig now the dealer is giving me my first oil change free, so maybe I'll have them check when I take it in. Fortunately, the dealer is at the base of 6. 5%, 8 mile long grade, so testing should be easy. :rolleyes:

    Any recommendations on which one and where the best location for the sensor is?

    Auto trans over rev's when shifting

    Thanks, for the advice. Good to know that it is normal behavior. And, I was figuring on relying on the idiot light. But since I do live in hilly country, I think I will invest in a trans temp gauge. I can not leave my home without ascending at least one 6%+, 8 mile grade. Depends on which...

    Auto trans over rev's when shifting

    Maybe you guys can tell me if this is normal behavior. I have an '05 with the auto 48RE trans. When pulling a load (10k) up a steep hill, the engine seems to momentarily over rev just after the trans shifts down a gear. It normally shifts at about 1500 rpm. After shifting, the rpm's go up to...

    Getting ready for 1st oil change, brand of oil to use???

    I use Delo 400 15w-40w, but not for any particular reason. Mostly because I had 10 gallons of it on hand when I traded in my F-250 PS for my 3500 and because I can get it a Wal-Mart for a pretty reasonable price.
