Dodge dealer probably, but why not go with a long block, heads and all, or call around the wrecking yards to find a used take out motor, or does Japan do low mile take outs anymore?, did that on a Mazda B2600 once and saved a ton, motor was complete and like new.

I find the fact that a modern day diesel can actually become a runaway is kind of bizarre. I suppose better turbo oil seals have maybe reduced the occurrence, but the thought of loosing an engine over a $15 seal gone bad is disturbing. You would think they could come up with a Pack brake like...

Follow up, finally found my ABS problem, 2007 FL M2106. Here's what I had to start; ABS 136 SID 3 FAIL 05 (CURRENT BELOW NORMAL OR OPEN CIRCUIT) 3 5 LR wheel sensor circuit open BULK HEAD MODULE HAS “B1P ABS IGNITION” ONLY The ABS ECU is located behind driver's side kick panel. Here's what...

My 3000HS now has 1,444,000 miles, never cracked open. Shifts better then new, some slush box noises in the lower gears but has done that for about 400,000 mi.s now. New problem tho, but I'm blaming the ABS; At a steady cruise hwy speeds it will start to slip in and out of gear with the...

Last time towed I marked the slip joint with a chalk line. Learned not a good idea as the grime smeared from handling it almost completely wiped it off. I would recommend a nice indentation with a hammer and a chisel for a more permanent mark. Question I have is, how long do carrier bearings...

The problem I see with these is when your dwell time is beyond 14 hrs, and yeah, battery capacity/type. Wouldn't work with my current dwell time going on three days.

Looks like a 1920's newspaper clipping haha.

I bet the $2750 is just for the injectors. The "and" sounds to me can be replaced with "PLUS". Make sure they know to pull the plug on the oil galley on the head to sweep a magnet thru, the metal from a failed pump will end up there towards the front mostly and if not removed, and heui pump...

What Davekc sd, probably needs a heui pump. My experience with CAT C-9, similar engine, 2006 motor went 1.3 million before major oil usage a problem, went thru about 4 heui's and pieced mealed the injectors as I went along except for once did full replacement. Most pumps didn't throw much debri...

Some good information right there. My stop lights worked intermittently and became worse over time.

I used it in my wifes TransAm rack and pinion with success, but I think it is more designed for rack and pinion leaks. The steering shaft seal isn't a hard repair, an hour at most I would think. I did mine myself and took my time with it since it was the first one I've ever done, took me about 2...

Never more true words spoken davekc . Fortunately we should be back on the road before the money runs out. Also good to have a plan B for source of income in these instances, it has helped us sleep better at nite. Not wanting to sound like we want to rake the insurance company over the...

I hear ya on the state minimum which the adjuster has already alluded to as the at fault party only carries Ohio state minimums. Hopefully it won't be too long before we're back on the road and the loss of use won't put it over. ShellyB007, that makes since. I've seen some fairly detailed...

If I'm reading this right, Trans Am was pounced on because they did not include verbiage of the charge or options in their contractor agreements. It's not saying it is illegal to charge the fees, just means carriers need to ensure the fee and options are agreed upon, in writing, for it to be...

The Body Shop foreman pointed out to me my frame is bent, pushed in about 1/4 inch behind the tank. Said he can straighten it. When I was in the car business, a thing called 'diminished value' was common. We planned on driving this truck for another 5-10 yrs and had just spent $25K putting a...

tknight, I'll keep you in mind on parts. ShellyB007, sounds like i should've been a CIS client, we are insured thru our carrier's (Panther) insurance. I've never shopped them because it has always seemed reasonable. We were on a load at the time of the accident. Thanx all. I'm ready to get this...

Dern, didn't mean to post this 3 times, where's the delete post button?

I'm still shook-up over this. Sunday nite our precious str8 truck was t-boned by a four wheeler who ran a stop sign at a goodly speed after exiting I-74 in Greensburg, IN right in front of the Petro. The driver was alone and thankfully was not hurt. My wife was in the bunk and didn't fair as...

They will tell you the beads and Centramatics will work against each other. What I found is the combination together was too much for the steers and only use the Centramatics up front. The Yokohama 517's, open lug, in the back are a heavier tire and with just the Centramatics and pre-balance...

I have centering lugs up front and sleeves on the drives. They do help, but, I have found even with these, sometimes the radial runnout is great enough to cause a bounce as most tires are not perfectly true. I run Michelin XZA's top of the line up front and Yokahama 517/s rr, and when bolting...
