3rd Generation Dodge

Hi folks,Well the fuel injector problem has been fixed. while the dealer fixed that they did an inspection and came up with the following needs to be replaced at 72k miles.(I had them confirmed by another mechanic)upper and lower ball jointsright,left tie rods inner and outer and adjuster sleevesfront axle u jointssteering damperhub bearing assembliesI am seeking words of wisdom on what brand parts to use(I know that they have to be greaseable and not to get the cheap chinese parts) and where is the best place to get them. I already priced them out at napa who stocks spicer and the total comes to $1125.I am not looking to start a brand name war, its just that you guys k…

Towing this weekend I noticed that when my EGT's were about 1050° the needle would bounce from 1000-1100° at about a 2Hz rate, and then back to stable at 1050°. It did this 3 or 4 times on 2 grades (also did this once last winter at the 500-600° range). Otherwise it's smooth and operates as it did when new in 2007.I presume the stepper motor is failing? Could it be the thermocouple? Any opinions on if this will effect the reading when it's not bouncing?

My friend has been caring on about trying this oil filter, but I never heard of anyone using one. (Seems to pricy for me, but to each his own I guess.) If you have tried or know of anyone who tried one, does it seems like it was worth the money or not ?

Before I attempt this job of removing the slincer ring in my 05 does anyone have any sugestions on tools needed. I know it has to be harder than second gen.

I read a write up about doing your own Lockout switch for the 2005 48re. The write up tells you to tap the 3-4 solenoid wire which is the #6 on the plug but I was wondering if anyone new the color code for the wire? Knowing me I would count to number 6 and cut the wrong wire. I read another write up about a TC lock up switch that had a diagram of plug and I think its dark green with a tan trace but I would like to confirm with you guys. I am trying to find an updated diagram but no luck. Anyways thanks for any advice

As you can see in this video when I am in park or nuetral and rev my engine my RPMs seem to hang for a second and then drop off slowly. I have searched the forums and Ive seen most people say they have a similar issue but it is usually combined with issues while driving like the engine surging while they're driving. I dont have any problems when I'm driving, runs and decelerates fine, it only happens when I rev the engine from idle. Also in these posts I've found most people seem to say that the injectors are causing the problems in these other guy's trucks. Ive think Ive seen one person say it could be a bad torque convertor. I'm personally wondering if it could …

So this was going to be my only mod this year, until I read about the 6.7 harmonic damper. Anyhow, I truly think I am about done with power mods at this point, thou I have said that before. I will be playing with the Smarty UDC, and possibly going to a Smarty Sr but nothing crazy. Anyhow.. I purchased a GDP Air Boss and it's awaiting install. It really is a pretty piece of equipment! This mod is supposed to improve airflow thru the intake manifold, which helps spool (not really an issue with a BB charger) and EGT's. I don't have an EGT problem persay, but wouldn't mind a slight reduction when towing at 6K feet plus, and with the new TT being 2-3K lbs heavier I am going to…

07 5.9 auto. I was told by Dodge that when parked at idle I should be able to reset my avg mpg and it will read zero. My 05 does exactly that but my 07 will flash back to whatever the old avg was and then start recalculating. Any experience with this issue is welcome.

my alt quit charging the other day on my 08 dodge. i replaced it and noticed the lighting bolt didnt go off when i started it up. also no charge. i got my smarty out and deleted the code. it works fine now. my question is would it ever cleared itself without the tuner deleting the codes. :banghead:

the other day i smelled a rotten egg smell in my cab looked under hood passenger side battery was smoking replaced battery today coming home same thing smell and smoking volt gauge in truck is showing above 14 -16 what is going on here?

Ok so I take my 05 dully to dealership with shifting problems, it's still under warrenty. The trans is skipping 2nd gear then down shift to 2nd then shifts on thru the gears. The service tech ask me how it shifts thru the rest of the gears. I say it shifts thru all five just fine, he tells me it only has 4. So what am I feeling? I am counting five shifts. Or is that the tourqe converter locking up that I feel?

Quite a few OFE users on here so...I had a CON-OFE put in last spring and ever since the install I have a really hard time getting the trans into 1st or 2nd, unless I go 3-2 or 4-1. If I come to a stop and leave the clutch in I can shift no problem, but as soon as I release the clutch and then engage it to shift I can't get into 2nd. It's worst when warm, when cold it shifts fine. I talked to SBC and they think my OEM hydraulics are shot, but I don't want to test that theory with the $315 SBC hydraulics to find it didn't fix it.Fluid is Amsoil MTF, replaced since the clutch install with no change. Any thoughts?

look at this thread on CF about this fuel filter kit. http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-non-powertrain/485383-hey-fellas-its-christmas-look-what-i-found.html

Got this code this afternoon. Had the dash out last week to replace the AC evaporator. Been fine till this afternoon. Any ideas on where to look. I have checked as many connections possible but I might be missing one. Batteries are clean. Check the battery grounds, look fine. Tore the dash apart to see if something was loose couldn't find anything. Any other ideas?

I found this video of Holset bench testing their turbos and some knock off turbos. After watching this I feel a lot better about having my stock turbo. Sorry if this is a re-post http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za0DieZHMKc

What would be some tells that the previous owner changed the program in the ECM? I have black smoke come out the exhaust when I accelerate, it's enough that it leaves residue on the rear bumper. I've had the truck for about 6 weeks. Since I put a new thermostat in it seems as though the mpgs have been declining. Prior to the change of the thermostat, it would take forever to warm up, now it works like it should. Also I got consistant 18 MPG, hand calculated, now 16 seems to be the best. I would think that since the engine is warming up completely, the burn would be better therfor providing better mpgs.Thoughts?

Does anyone know the torque spec's for HE351CW compressor wheel locknut? Holset doesn't show it in the service data sheets I've found.The closest I can find is 124 in. lb's on an HX30 which is very similar. I'm using the 12 point locknut

Well it looks like I'm going to pull my injectors and send them to Superior Turbo and Injector in Detroit. They are going to test the injectors, clean, calibrate the coils, replace the brass cap and o-ring for $165. If it turns out that any fall outside of the specs or can't be brought back into spec they will replace them with their in house (Bosch certified) rebuilt injectors for $265 each. If I want Bosch factory rebuilt injectors they are $332 each.I was told that it is a good idea to replace the fuel tubes at the same time @ a cost of $35 each. What do you guys think about replacing the tubes? At 35 dollars it's not a big expense, but if they don't need to be replace…

I have noticed this build up of oil that must be slow seeping out of the connection. Is this normal wear or is it a sign of problems internally? Can I tighten it or do I need to solve another problem first? I dont get blowby from oil cap when removed but it vibrates off slowly.Also do these 5.9's have a filter in here or anything that needs cleaned or maintenance? Any help with allow me to sleep easier . First pic is upside down.Thanks!2007 5.9 92,000 miles auto stock
