    I found this site in a round a bout way, I saw a post from Michael in cummins forum.... and followed the rabbit trail here.I like what I see so far, I love the lack of advertising. ( I'll probably donate to help keep it that way). I have limited bandwidth here (hughes.net) and loading page after page of flash advertising on other forum sites.. (which takes precious time when I NEED info asap!) I run out of allowable use in short order!anyway a quick look under 'my' hood:I have a pile of first generation Rams, and 1 2000, 3500 24 valve 4X4 6 speed. Bone stock. This particular pickup is what brought me here today: The good ol p…

    I found this forum by following a link in Mopar1973mans sig on the RV forum. Looked like a good site, and I know from being a member on CDF back in 2009 ( I think) that he has a lot of knowledge. Used to own a 99 QC dually back then, but my wife got pissed at it so I sold it and got an 05 1500 Hemi truck that got stolen 6 months later. That led to me getting a 2010 1500 Hemi truck. Well we recently got a 29 foot TT and the 1500 just wasn't big enough. A friend of mine traded in his truck on a jeep so I sold my 1500 and bought his truck . I picked it up yesterday. It's a white 06 3500 QC manual trans Big Horn 4x4 and I really like it. So Hello.

  5. Hello all, my name is Don and I'm from the breadbasket of the world, the California central valley. I work for a large poultry producer and run a fleet maintenance shop maintaining class 8 trucks and trailers and agricultural equipment. I've been turning wrenches for over 35 years and love it. I have an '01 3500, quad cab, dually, 6 speed all stock. I bought it used about 4 years ago with only 200k on it. It's a little rough around the edges and I have some bugs to work out but nothing major. It gets me 23mpg and it will haul anything I need so I think I'll keep it for a while. I've been reading a lot of these threads trying to figure out my fuel pressure issue. So…

    Just thought I would quit lurking and join the Forum. I'm 58, married to to the love of my life now for 35 years. I have a beautiful 21 year old daughter, she is the biggest reason my hair is turning gray and turning loose. I also have a 15 year old son who is keeping me young, best young man ever he is making up for his sister. Interests are shooting, Ham radio, and turning wrenches, and camping. Bought my first diesel about a month ago, a 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 4wd 5.9 Cummins. We try to camp as often as we can and I was killing my K1500 Chevy. So I bought the Dodge for the price and the Cummins engine. So far I love the truck. Plenty of power even when pulling…

    Hi, I am inheriting a 92 Cummins W250 sometime this summer. I am a professional mechanical engineer and an automotive hobbyist in my spare time. My first chore (based on discussions with the truck's current owner) will be the Borgeson steering column. This will be my first diesel, so I am looking forward to ROLLING COAL (just kidding!). Cheers.

    Hi there I am a newish owner of a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel and I have been doing a crash course in diesel trucks for the past year. Before this I had no experience with any vehicles whatsover so it has been a very steep learning curve. My truck has a number of problems that I have been slowly troubleshooting and fixing. It has been a frustrating journey but I am determined to understand my beast. I am very uncomfortable asking online questions but I am getting better. Please go easy on me and remember that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Lol I have at least one question for you all today and I pray you can help. Thanks Cheri

    I just registered today. I've been on CompD and all the other Dodge/Cummins forums for the last 12 years. I've got 4 2nd gen 12 valves and a 06 that I drag race. I've been doing the quick diesel class since it started in 06. I've enjoyed all the info on 12 valves on this site for quite a while now. I figured it was time to join the party. I'm old but not slow nor scared. LOLJim

Feels good though....raptor lift pump aem intake also. I'm getting almost no black smoke outta this thing, anybody know why?? Pulls like crazy!
