Ok...been don sum reading in the owners manual. From what I gather you can just run regular full synthetic oil in these cars and not diesel specific. Is that correct? I know it has to meet that 507 standard..I'm just used to dealing with a cummins : ). Any thing I should know about these cars...

So what are some of the symptoms of a burnt valve in a diesel. I can tell you that ive got higher boost higher egt and lower mpg.

quick question, what are you useing to close off the exhaust side of the turbo to do a leak test on the system?

A friend of mine recently put the stealth tuner from quadzilla on his 08, he has the dpf hollowed out and the rest of the exhaust is stock, he also has cold air. Now what I am surprised about is how much smoke there is on the top tune compared to other tuners such as the same power level tune on...

kinda like the title says, i was working on porting my stock manifold and wanted to do the same to my stock turbo. the bolts that you have to remove to get to the waste gate look pretty well seized, has anyone got them all out with success ? or should i just find another housing.

ive got a couple of tps's from my 93 f150, laying around. and they have darn near the same resistance at idle, as the one on the cummins. but they happen to be alot cheaper than the dodge units. has anyone ever tried to make one work on a dodge? any better alternative other than pot mod, cause i...

i was getting ready to flush my transmission. and was wondering what kind of additives or fluids that people are running other that the expensive ATF+4. i know from a builder that you can run dexron/mercon3 as long as you add lube guard that makes it roughly the same stuff but cheaper. now my...

like the title says, i have a hard start sometimes. not when its warm or been plugged in, starts just fine then. but lately its been having to crank longer and cough a few times before starting even when its 60 somthin outside. seems to be getting worse. possible starter? has new filters and new...

ok, truck was fine yesterday and this morning, but when i started it up and left work i noticed that it was missing. i figured a loose line, nope. cracked all the lines #1 didnt change the idle much and i belive #3 or 4 was the other that didnt. checked the valve lash, all good. has less power...

is it possible to put the electric fan clutch from a 7.3l powerstroke onto my 94? just wonderin since i need to replace my factory unit. just wondering aside from the wiring part

ok put hg and studs in a few weeks back. the truck seems to be a bit more slugish than it was before. but it other than that it seems to run the same. also might add the the turbo spools a tad faster and my egts are like 150 higher. only thing i touched on the head was cleaning all the carbon...

i took the daylighters off of my ford, the mice chewed the wiring harness to chit. my dodge has the relays for fog lights and a switch the the previous owner wired in, can that circuit handle my 100w lights?

did head studs over the weekend.now i can hear a knock very very slight but still there, and see a very small bubbling between the injector and hold down on #3. tightin it down? or what..? still gotta do the re torque in 2 days so i was gonna look into any issues then

just wanting some feed back on peoples thoughts of cold weather starting and warm up. things such as long idle/ short idle time. plug it in or dont etc. best warm up procedure. just curius because ive heard so many things. such as conflicting views about idleing

first off this isnt my truck, its my buddies. 02' 3500 allison of course all thats done to it so far is 4in half way then to 5 with no muff now he has 3 grand to spend and isnt worried about the tranny for sum reason. so whatwould be the best mods for the said amount of money also he was...

ok i got head studs goin in my truck in the next couple weeks. and i was wanting to up the timing a bit more, what would be a safe limit on a non oring head? and i hear of people talking about driveability issues with high timing on a dd. what are these issues? i know higher timin = hard winter...

ok, ive gota slow leak in the coolant system, when i say small i mean like a pint a month. first off i thought that it was the heat exchanger thats under the turbo( it wasnt that) , then i washed the block to check for freeze plug leaks, and cracks, i say cracks cause the leak is almost at the...

i was pondering some stuff in my head yesterday while i was at work. and i got to thinkin about turning my barrels, and that people always say that the flows will be all off. which way do you turn the barrels? and howabout if i put a dial indicator on each barrel and turn them all the same...

i came across a good 96' 8.3 cummins with an ag gov pump on it. i was wondering what the feasability of the swap would be? i know its a lil bigger like 500lbs heavier and im sure id have to get a different tranny.

ok i read alot about custom cutting your fuel plate, but ive only read in one thread about face hardening it afterwards. is that only needed if you start from a blank slug or if ur cutting the factory plate? is it needed at all?
