    Tranny problem/question 01 ram 3500 dually automatic

    Hi, Thanks Big Red, I since visited a Mister Transmission and talked to a very helpful manager. He suggested the first thing to look for is low fluid level. Also, apparently way back Dodge came out with a tech bulletin to add a check valve in one of the lines, to help with the drainback issue...

    Tranny problem/question 01 ram 3500 dually automatic

    Hi, I hope someone can help with some ideas: My 01 5.9 Cummins auto takes a while, approx 15 seconds to start moving when I first start it and put it in Drive. After that it behaves normally, no slipping or funny gear changes. Before I drop the tranny and do a rebuild, I was wondering if this...

    Ford guy looking at a Dodge

    Hi, I've had both, a 94 IDI that was a big pit where I would throw $100 dollar bills into every time we came back from a trip, and now I own an 01 24 valve Dodge. I love the Dodge, it has 350,000 kms, and solid as a rock, economical, much more powerful than the 7.3L Ford. Pre-emptily I replaced...

    new (to me) cummins

    I brazed a bung to the tranny pan in a few minutes, and the risk of a leak is minimal, I would recommend it, as the sensor is submerged in the oil, giving you an average temp of the actual fluid. I would like to find out where is the test port in the vp44, as I still need to install my fuel...

    Wrecked 1999 F250 7.3L 4x4 part out

    Hi, I know it's an old ad, but just in case: I need the fuel switch at the panel, and the harness that goes to the switching valve. I already got the valve. Any chance it's still there? Thanks, Dan

    Front hub help

    Front hub removal I don't have 4 bolts coming in from the rear, just three small bolts that hold the splash shield (or what's left of it) from the front. I had to drill them out, and I'm going with pass through bolts with nylon locking nuts in behind. Each shield was $50. Talk about a rip off...

    Front hub help

    Hi folks, I was replacing the front rotors in my 01 Quad Cab 2x4 3500 Dually, when I noticed a grinding in the left front hub. Found one on eBay for $200. local parts stores wanted $350, so I'm happy about that. My question: how does it come off? Do I need to remove the big nut in the centre...

    Electric fan conversion, good or not?

    electric fans conversion I ran my Ford IDI with the electric fan conversion (out of a Windstar minivan, dual fans), with a thermostat control, and it kept my engine at a constant temp all the time. To me, the benefit is you're not turning the fan when the engine is cold (I live in St...

    Electric fan conversion, good or not?

    Hi all, Can anyone tell me if electric fan conversion is a good idea on an 01 automatic 24V, mostly to help keep the auto xmission oil cool? I had done it in my 94 Ford IDI and it ran much cooler. It is a common conversion on Ford IDI's. Is it a common practice on 5.9's too? Thanks for any...

    Carter fuel pump: good?

    Fuel pump replacement hi guys, decided to go with the FASS DDRP, $277 from Vulcan, plus a relocation kit to place it on the frame by the tank. I think that heat and vibration may have something to do with early demise of OEM pumps. Better safe than sorry, and protect my investment by placing it...

    04 3500 6 speed prospect buy

    Hi all, It's a long box extended cab. I wonder if someone would pipe in with opinions on what are the problem areas with the 04's? I'm thinking of going to the dark side from my 94 7.3 IDI. Tired of working on it. Every time I think that's it for repairs, something else comes up. All opinions...

    Speedometer sensor: where is it?

    Hi, That would explain... I also replaced the sensor in the pumpkin, and the speedo needle is steady now, and so far haven't got into limp mode again. I thought it was coincidence, and the problem would come back! This is good news indeed! Thanks!!

    Speedometer sensor: where is it?

    Hi guys, Can someone tell me where to find the speedo sensor? I got a sensor from Advance Auto Parts that they said was the right one, but there's nothing like that in my tranny. My speedo needle is shaking a bit, and I was having "limp" mode problems, so I decided to start there. I'm...

    Pulling E40D codes questions

    I have to pull the codes, because my E40D is going into limp mode. Where is the STI and DLC connector, in order to jump the STI and SIG RTN pins? How do I know if I have the "Brake On/Off (BOO) circuit, and the Transmission Control Switch (TCS)? Where is the list of codes and their meanings...

    Serpentine Belt Idler

    Hi Steve, I didn't buy the idler pully, mine is good, just the tensioner assy is busted, and I'm still waiting for the parts from eBay. But yes, they look exactly as you described. You can take the metal plates and put them on the new pully, it all comes apart when you remove the bolt. I had to...

    Serpentine Belt Idler

    Hi Steve, I just pulled the idler pulley out of my 94 IDI. It was tough, and I had doubts about it possibly being a left hand thread, but NO, it's a regular thread, just tough to move. I tried tightening force and loosening force alternately, and it finally gave way and loosened up. I also...
