    Vibration

    When I bought my truck, the tech who did the prep said, "this one vibrates". Yeah so did my last three. It's a Cummins. Like Harleys, they vibrate. First trip out on the interstate, he wasn't shttn. So I returned to the dealership where they rebalanced my tires. Now I had a tire vibration along...

    Rear end oil

    Just did the 30k mile rear end lube change with Mobil 1 75w-90 full synthetic. It held 3.5 qts to the bottom of the fill hole. Then I looked in the shop manual and it says fill capacity for the 10.5 AAM is 4.75 pints or just below 2.5qts. Then I looked in my shop manual for my '95 Dodge/Cummins...

    Valvoline Premium Blue

    I'm starting to see Valvoline Premium Blue on the shelves at the auto parts stores. I picked up three gallons this week for my next change. I've been using Rotella since '95 with good results but since Premium Blue is Cummins' recipe, I thought I'd start using it in my '03. Premium Blue is...

    5.9 in a 1500

    Went to lunch in a co-workers '98 1500 reg cab today. He's always kept his truck clean like new and it shows. It has no rattles and uses no oil. He just had the transmission serviced so I figured he must be at about 50,000 miles. Nope... Just turned over 103,000 miles. I buy diesels for their...

    Leaky AAM axle seals

    Just had one replaced on the drivers side. Friend with a 2500 Hemi also had the driver's side seal replaced before 30k miles. I replaced both seals in my '98 Dana 80 four years ago. I hoped that the AAM would be better but apperantly not. Friend's previous F-350 also had leaky seals in his Dana...

    4.7,5.9,V10 or Hemi's

    There's got to be some gas Ram owners hangin' around. If not we need to rope some in. What have you got and what do you use it for? The Hemi in a 2500 with 4.10 is rated to tow 11,400 lbs. Not a light weight at all... Bragging rights earned!!!

    2700rpm vibration

    We all know about the 2100rpm buzz in the steering wheel and the TSB to isolate this normal engine vibration from the cab with weights on the hydro-boost hoses. I'm not planning on having the TSB done as the buzz doesn't bother me. What does bug me is a heavier low frequency vibration almost...
