Hi Folks, New guy here from Canada. I used to race a Chrysler Cordoba on local dirt tracks and am building an 02 2500 ext cab 4x4. Cheers!

Hi there, I'm 32 and live on Vancouver Island, BC. My mechanical skills are fairly novice but I like working on my own vehicles (love/hate relationship sometimes). I've been lurking for a while, and have been following Mopar's posts here and other forums for quite a while. I plan on keeping my 1999 24v for a very long time so I'll hopefully be here for a while. It's mostly stock but I have done some small things like the BD flowmax lift pump. I take the view I have my truck for a marathon race not a sprint but in the future I would like to do a few small performance upgrades for towing etc. From what I have seen I like this resource for…

Just found this part of the forum. I've had a small Volvo repair shop for the past 17yrs in the San Diego area and have been ASE certified master auto tech for over 30 yrs. I would rather be camping, fishing, and hunting in the mountains but stuck in So Cal.

Howdy, I have lurked for years on here and decided to sign up. Prior to this truck I rolled a '90 7.3L IDI with a sidewinder which grew on me left much to be desired when pulling the camper/boat combo over the passes around here. I've had my '00 Dodge since 2006 and use it about 20-30 time a year for dragging the 5th Wheel around the Cascades and taking the boat to various locations. She has been a great truck and I've done all the work, but the last few years has found some bigger repairs being needed. A new VP44 went in last summer, a leak on the front of the motor needs to be diagnosed and now I'm throwing in some RV275s and dealing with a potential dead pe…

I have a 2002 2500 I have a superchip programmer now. But I want more power. I bought the truck used it has a fuel pressure gauge which shows 30 psi all the time. My question is can I run a quadzilla without burning up my pump.

Good morning all, Name's Tim and I am relatively new to diesels. Been a member of forum for some time but thought I would post an introduction. I have a 1999 Dodge 2500 24v Cummins with 169k. I bought the truck from my father in law and it was owned by my wife's grandfather before that. My father in law bought it with intentions on flipping it, but I needed a camper hauler so I bought it for $2500 as is. Truck was in rough shape when I bought it. I did a full body swap/semi restoration. Truck runs like a top. Current mods are BHAF, Quadzilla Xzt+, Airdog 165-4G, full set of Isspro gauges (EGT, Trans Temp, Boost, Fuel Pressure). Future pla…

I just wanted to thank Mopar man. For this site and articles. I've learned more about my truck in the last few weeks than in the last two years of owning it. You've saved me and taught me more than my local diesel shops.

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm from Northern Idaho and have a 2002 QCSB with a HO Cummins and 6 speed manual. I found the site looking at HID retrofits and it looked like a great community to be a part of. Attached a pic of my truck for those who want to see it.

HEY guys nice to be apart of the group.. lil history... Loved trucks as long as i can remember, so of course thats means ive been fixing them for as long as i can remember :lmao:Ive wanted a diesel since i was around 18 and 8 years later i got my first cummins!!! So hope to be hearing a lot from you guys!

hello to alli am new member in this forum and share my information.

Hi All, Always used to troll around the site. Finally got around to contributing. Love the articles and info. Had my 99 for about a year now (1st diesel), and have loved it like no other vehicle. Looking forward to learning and contributing. Be Well!

I read some post here and I put a momentary on switch on my intake heater element. For some reason my truck isn't starting as fast as it used to. Not really sure where to begin to fix the problem. I have a 2002 3500 with 346000 miles. Nothing aftermarket other than a cold air intake and went to a 4 inch exhaust. Thanks for your feedback.

I have been on other forums for years. I am very impressed with the quantity and quality of 2nd generation topics on this site, so I decided to join. I fell in love with my first CTD while helping my Uncles farm. I was driving an S10 at the time and my uncle bought a new '92 Chassis Cab CTD. He partially bought that truck because he really liked the engine from his experiences with it in his farm equipment. Within a couple of years, I bought a new red and black '97 CTD 2500 reg cab 4x4(I'd love to be able to have this truck back and in good shape). I then decided I needed an extended cab and ordered my current truck. It is an Amethyst '99 CTD 2500 QC 4x4…

Howdy, I was testing your aim, and everyone that made it in has passed my initial evaluation. There will be more evaluations to come. ... I joined the forum due to the shear mountain of proven and documented knowledge I was able to quickly and easily find. Every time I was looking for some piece of information one of the ambassadors to this forum was answering the question without the usual forum BS and opinion injection/thread derailment. After continuing to hit the same few members screen names over and over on multiple forums it seems their culmination of knowledge resides on this website ... so I joined. I recently purchase…

Well, posted a bit on here already but thought I'd come introduce myself. Moved to MT from WA about a year and half ago and found my little Toyota 4x4 wasn't cutting the mustard for things you need a truck for in MT (hauling cords upon cords of firewood, yanking people out of ditches, pulling trailers for equipment, etc.). So, I ended up trading my dad for the truck in my sig with a flatbed car hauler (yes, I'm very aware I came out waaaaay ahead in that deal). It has served me well for the aforementioned tasks, as well as getting me back and forth to work teaching grades 1-8 in a one-room private school. This is my first diesel so I'm still figuring things out here and t…

Hey guys, I always start hear first when I'm researching something on my 99 Cummins. This is my first post, forgive me if I am not posting in right area. My problem is my batteries die after about 3 days of sitting. Notice my seatbelt light is now on, my radio wont go off with the key, my alarm will not peep when I hit the lock button on the key chain and sometime my wipers and windows stay on when key is off? Please help thanks in advance Ryan

Hi all, Glad to be part of this forum. I live in Roy, Utah. Just had my 70th birthday. Been retired for 10 years from the phone company. I have a 99 Ram 2500 automatic, stock, with only 65360 miles. Been having carter fuel pump issues so I upgraded to the fuel boss. Just started having the 45-60 mph in and out converter shift problems. Alan
