Very much appreciated.

Thanks! Appreciate that.

Good morning, Happy New Year. I’m doing some research for an axle swap and poking around on the ol interweb. I cant seem to locate the specific information I need. What gear ratios were available for the 89 model year SRW W350 trucks? Also, is it safe to say that the rear would be a D70 from the...

Soooo, I just got off the phone with the dealer. The tech psi tested the cooling system (unsure of amount of time under psi) and he couldn’t find any leaks. I didnt follow up with any more psi testing questions; I dont want to be that guy who has to analyze every last thing. Its an engineer...

Yes, I’ve heard this as well; some confusion about the couple types of coolant I was reading. It’s very possible that within this ol girls 284K that someone (one owner) did a woopsie… I do have the OTC flushing gun so I guess I’ll give it a go. I need to come up with a potion that will...

“I got updates”… I dropped the truck off last Wednesday and today they called and said that I needed a heater core, he did test the blend doors and said they were good. Not sure why the velocity of air slows down when I turn the heat on though… Also I asked if they psi tested the cooling system...

I should do that for sure.

Perfect! Thanks!

I’d really like to use that element as its on my list along with the other components for the retrofit. I can’t justify $300 for that collar though. I’m toying with drilling, tapping and sleeving the factory elbow for the element. Whaddya think? Intake heater...

Yeah I saw that, it prompted me to buy the tool! Its at the dealer right now. I’m out of town for a few weeks. We’ll see what they say. I’ve asked them to diagnose it and get back to me before proceeding.

Will do for sure. I’m honestly really curious at this point after all the Head gasket talk I’ve read about and the various coolant/heat related topics.

Roger that. I do not smell it inside the cab, though I have fought a faint wiff of it several times around the front clip. ‍

I have not, but I do have the OTC pneumatic/hydro flush gun. Interestingly enough the service manager at the stealership said they have cut several cores in 1/2 and found that despite the core not being clogged the coolant left a thick film that negates any tangible heat exchange. I’ve read...

A minor update. I headed out to work for 2 weeks yesterday. I usually rent a car and head down to NY to get on the boat; luckily there is a decent Dodge dealer close to the rental location so hopefully they’ll be able to further diagnose what we have going on. The service manager was familiar...

Ok, is there a flow chart for the well known subject of no heat from the vents? I just discovered this the other day in my 16 Larime. I’m curious if there is a logical order in which to follow since it seems that it could be a small handful of items? A little back story so bare with me. I...

Hey thanks, I hear ya. I knew it was off. All my power strokes were. I may fit some 33/34” narrow tires to offset the 4.10s we’ll see. Most of my driving is rural as it is now their perfect but for the semi frequent trek down 95 I feel that my magic 79-80 mph may be a bit much for 4.10s and...

It wasnt hand calculated, it was on the display. Just relaying what I saw.

Well, the rig arrived this morning. All in all I’m happy so far. The truck has a few undisclosed issues I should be able to work through. A light h20 stain on the top of the drivers side A pillar; assuming cab lights (this is a non sunroof truck), message center shows tire psi fault (fronts not...

Thanks! Honestly I dont know how much I’ll use the air. We do have a 35’ center console that we tow a couple times a year, so maybe then. If the factory rake is 1” then I may do a 1” level, I am A fan of dead level no rake; I dont really care that much about loaded as the truck will never be...

Ahh, good info. I thought there may be some interesting and applicable facts surrounding a factory airbag truck (which this is). Good to know. Thank you. In all honesty I dont plan on loading it heavy besides a slide in camper eventually. I’ll do some more research on the finer points of...
