3rd Generation Dodge

I am stuck in Edwardsburg Mi. I have an 08 2500 4x4 standard with 420,000 miles on it. I been using the smarty sr with cal delete for about a yr now with no issues. It is set at the lowest possible setting for fuel economy. The other night I pulled in my buddies drive way and backed up on a small incline. The truck began running really rough like it was hitting on about 3 cylinders. I turned it off and waited a few minutes it fired up still running rough. I was a little low on fuel about 1/8 of a tank. The next morning I tried to start it but it would not start. It turned over fine but would not fire. I changed the fuel filter since I had a spare in the tool box. That did…

Ever since I got my truck, once in a while the wipers won't work on intermittent and they will also stop where ever they are when I turn them off. If I turn them on and let them sweep a couple of times they will work properly and go the park position when shut off. Is this a possible relay in the PDC problem?

I am just want to find out about what programmer would be best for 06 dodge cummins ?

I got a dumb question, but I have seen it pop up a few times. What is R and R when referring to some diesel trucks?

any thoughts? family friend swears by them.

Few things going on here...2007 Ram CTD 6.7, 3500.91,000 miles, and just over 5 years old.Consistently serviced, tech even said its the cleanest engine he has seen yet to date. Looked brand new under the valve cover. Of course, I maintain it properly!!!! 1. Immediately after I got a full tank of diesel from Safeway, within 1.2 miles, my trucks dash lit up like a Xmas tree, and threw these codes at me. 2. I noticed that during the fill the diesel was far more foamy than what I normally see from ULSD.3. I used the diagnosis on this site for injector #5, and found that it was fluctuating from .9 to 1.2 ohms, and the rest of them were 1.0 ohms flat. 4. I checked (as much as I…

Well the shuttle shift is getting bad on my 48RE and I am due for a fluid/filter change. Figured while I had the pan off doing the GM swap might be a good idea. Anyone have any experience with the swap or any other options available for the issue?Thanks

I have been hearing a slight knock when I hit bumps and occasional clunk at full steering lock up, finally got under the truck to check it out and there is a little play in the steering gear shaft, I'm not talking about rotational play, it has linear play and pump is starting to leak fluid ... I have been checking prices and wanted to check here if anyone has any other recommendations asides replacing it and if replacing it is the best option do we have any vendors here or discounts that we can get as members ? I found that DPP (Diesel Power Products) carries them at $389.00 and have an option to differ core charge which means no core charge as long as core is shipped wit…

Just a picture for y'all...........................

I have been looking around at aftermarket aluminum rims, and it looks like 5" backspacing is the only common option available in 17X9 w8X6.5 lug?? My steel OEMs have a 6 1/4" backspace. This would look great with my free spin hubs, but I`m just curious what the wider stance looks like. Anybody have some good pics??

While changing the oil on my truck last night, I noticed that water was draining from the A/C hose from the firewall. I have not had the A/C on for the last month. I have the dash selector set to floor or floor/vent. With the engine running, I watched the A/C compressor cycle on and off. What would cause the A/C compressor to cycle on and off when the A/C is not selected?

Hello everyone. I'm new here, I have been on cumminsforums for a while though. Thank you moparman for all of your time and dedication to putting great information on your website. I installed a smoke switch and have not had success yet. I found two different methods, tried both. Both acted funny.EDIT: I'm not seeing my signature with my truck specs in it, so here they are;1999 Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins - Quadzilla Adrenaline - Straight 3" Exhaust - AFE Stage II Intake - Silencer Ring MIAMy MAP sensor / ECM / Adrenaline lead adapter has a total of 4 wires;Light blue (signal) - from adrenaline lead connector to MAP sensor connectorDark blue (signal) - from adrenaline lead conne…

ok .... possibly looking to step up from my 2nd Gen to a 3rd gen. 04-07. Want to collect some info in case I do.1) Which years are best and why. Looking for a AUTO. Ideally 4WD but might have to settle for 2WD.2) Problems with years apart from sticking injectors.3) Anything to check for apart from normal ? How about pulling codes - just an OBDII scanner ?What mods done would indicate well looked after ...... eg normal LiftPump and guages ?? etcPlanning on checking for the following mainly.1) Codes and anything with transmission to indicate problem (fluid, clutch particulate) and any slipping under WOT.2) Blowby/Crank (where does it exit on these year trucks)3) Rust and P…

What type of tool or reader do I need to see pcm codes?Thanks,

I got my trans oil sample back and it said it was a little high in tin and some other fiber like clutch. Can anyone help me with what pressure does it should have and where would I check the pressure at? (where to screw into at).

When pulling heavy load (18k) I put it in tow/haul but it seems to still have all gears, I thought it would stay out of overdrive. Is it pulling in overdrive?

Came up with these codes yesterday on my 04, P234 and P2509. I had no lights on the dash, I have been recently experiencing no power pulling and terrible fuel mileage,Did deeper scan read and stated waste gate. This is a 305HP and 190 on the clock. Removed intake boot and Turbo bearing seams fine no play and spins reasonably free. . I have no clue if anyone had ever changed the Turbo as I bought the truck used and vague service info. Believe it said HY 35. Is it worth going into the waste gate issue or just swap out the Turbo completely?

I was surprised that I couldn't find any comment on this. My probe is located between #5 and 6 cylinder. Up till now I've always used 1250* for when to ease off because that's what I used on my old 2001 24v, but wondered if newer 3rd generations are different. Does anyone have any information on what Cummins thinks?

Hi Everybody. My name is jesse and I am helping a friend replace the rusted out automatic transmission cooler lines on his 2006 SLT. We were able to get the lines off today but cannot find these lines. They are the ones from the front cooler, one goes to the tranny and the other goes to a heat exchanger/aux cooler. I found the lines on summitracing.com but lists for a 5.7l V8. Does anybody know where I can get these lines? I let him borrow a car while we fix these.

I just talked to the previous owner of my pickup and he told me that he had installed a reman Road Ripper 3000 from Certified Transmissions. I started getting off subject in my previous thread so I thought I would start a new one. I ordered the Smarty S06 POD and will be doing a lot of pulling. According to the webiste, the Road Ripper can handle a beating, but I was wondering what are my limitations. I don't plan on hot rodding, but when I buy a Quadzilla Scout down the line, it would be nice to be able to have the quick get up and go for fun. What have you guys seen and what settings should I be keeping her at?
