I'd like to know what my trailer actually weighs. I found a scale and took weighs. Drove onto the scale. Here are the numbers. (Trailer is a 5er) Truck: Front Axle- 4400 F/R Axles- 9400 Rear Axle- 5250 Trailer: Both Axles at the same time- 7700 I don't know what my truck weighs unloaded, but it's a 98.5 qcsb, auto, Dana 60/70, 4x4 stock bumpers, 265/70/17 tires on 03 steel wheels.

Before hot weather arrives I would like to be able to diagnose my A/C system on my 2001.. When on only puts out ambient outside air temperature no cooler air at all. How to check/ troubleshoot.

Originally I had a power steering fluid leak, found a line I thought was leaking, replaced, still leaked, replaced other line just to makes sure, ended up finally seeing Hydroboost leaking (didn't have a brake problem) Replaced Hydroboost, then intermittently pedal would almost go to floor, so got another Reman Hydroboost, now it's locked my brakes up, unless I'm doing something wrong it's going to be #3 reman going on this am.

A few years ago I went through the ac system and redid everything. Strong cold air for years. This year, I barely get anything. Is there slightly but barely. Compressor is cycling on and off but not a lot of cold air. Could it need a recharge or is something else going on? How many years should I get between servicing an ac system?

Incase anyone wondered how they fit or looked inside the truck, they seem well built and should last a long time. Fit tight along the lines of the seats so they don't slide all over getting in/out or pushing clutch in.

When i turn key to on the injection pump runs non stop, the tach will flutter, the fuel relay in the pdc will click,the fass fuel relay will click and the black relay in the cab will also click.What should i do? If i pull all the relays the tach will still bounce.After i remove the key the relay in the cab still clicks.What should i do? Sometimes i have no codes when it does this. If i start the truck when the tach is bouncing i can drive it and it runs fine.The engine light will be on and i can get 8 or so codes. I can clear all of them and it will be fine for a day or so. None of the 8 codes are real.The truck runs fine.shifts fine. It does this with 2 different pcm'sIt…

:banghead: Dangit!Alright, so in my break caliper thread, I posted up some stuff, but no one replied.So in continuation from it, but a separate issue, I was trying to figure out what was going on with the hub, rotor, etc. I took the tire off and spun the rotor. The rotor did not look warped at all and no excessive wear. As I spun it though, I noticed something. I spun the rotor slowly and when you get to a point, there is resistance. A feeling as though it almost is a warped rotor. But sighting down it, its straight.So, I thought, maybe a u-joint? I took a pry bar and the joint did not have any slop. But as I spin the rotor, I did not recall hearing the noise I heard befo…

Alright, so with what I'm runnin' on my truck, I noticed something particular. Running at highway speed, I approach a grade. I keep on the throttle and EGT will go up as it should. Except, the temp on the gauge goes from 600 or so, climbs to 800, stops. It struck me as a little weird that it would just stop like that. Especially considering the fact I was pretty much about 2/3 the way up the grade.I got into the throttle more to see if I could make it climb more, but at this point, I had the turbo spooled up and the load decreased into relation of the grade and speed I gained.I coulda swore I could get the egt's to shoot higher. They have before... :think:Just trying to m…

I need a new floor jack for the garage. I will use it on the fleet of cars we have but want to be sure I have enough capacity for the truck.

Anyone heard of putting a bit castor oil in the coolant to help the water pump? Heard someone mentioning that at the autoparts store.

Around 4 weeks for order ... Starting Before pics 1st one done

I installed a Pacbrake C44064 inline exhaust brake and it works great. Except for the brake, that is. Compressor works as it’s supposed to, supplying air to the quick-connect and Packbrake air tank. When I flip the switch on the shifter mounted brake switch the solenoid on the compressor does not supply air to the brake. The solenoid on the compressor that supplies air to the brake cylinder does cycle when I apply 12V to it direct from the battery via a jumper wire, so I checked for voltage to ground coming from Pin 20 on the ECM while the truck was running at idle. No voltage was present. Any ideas why this pin isn’t energized at idle? I’m in the mids…

I just can't drive my CTD daily. (signature 2001.5 w/ 4 wheel discs) It seems I get brake chatter every time it sits. The garage... claims rust forms under the pads where they sit against the disc. He claims he gets lots of work from folks who let vehicles sit... claims they all do it! Physically, I can not pull the brakes myself to check... but I'm damn tempted to replace the discs with something that won't rust. Stainless steel (some won't rust) or ceramic.I'm sure somebody here knows more about this than I do.Russ

I am preparing to install an Air Dog 100 in my truck in the morning and have to install the Draw Straw 5 in the tank as my truck had the in-tank pump installed. I spoke with Eric at Vulcan earlier today about this install, he told me to be sure to drill a hole in the side of the plastic cup at the bottom of the module, about 2"-3" up from the bottom. For the life of me I can't remember what size hole to drill. I have read the directions from Vulcan that came with the Draw Straw 5 and it doesn't mention this hole at all. In the instructions, one of the pictures shows a hole in this approximate location with an arrow pointing to it, but no explaination at all of what to…

Getting rotation today and as I take look at the brakes while all the wheels are off and see something strange. Right front. Left front. There appears to be cracking and you can feel it with your finger nail. Never had this before. Seems there cracking. Any one had this happen on theirs?

Picked these up locally last night for $400. Came off a 2012 with under 10k miles on them. Been looking for a while and have not had any luck locally until these babies showed up on Craigslist on Monday. So after working 13 and a half hours yesterday I jumped in the truck and drove an hour and a half each way. He had someone coming to look at them this morning and I didnt want to chance missing out on them. So my question is can I use my lug nuts on the new wheels? What are you guys with 4th gen wheels using?

I know everyone likely has ordered something from rockauto.com at some point. There customer service is non existent and their site leaves something to be desired, but perhaps that's part of their charm! Anyway my question is on the below. Do you reckon the extended cab refers to a 2nd gen "Quad cab" per their cab size guide picture below? Want to order a new replacement ACME headliner but i'm not certain an "Extended Cab" fit is for an actual Quad cab and there's no way to ask rockauto.com. Anyone hazard a guess?

Hey everyone, I'm tossing around the idea of changing out my Autometer gauges for Glow Shift ones because the Glow Shift ones have some neat lighting!! My question is what do you guys think about that? Are the Glow Shift gauges good? I don't want to lose quality for looks... Plus my Autometer fuel pressure gauge has a little ding in it from the previous owner which isn't a big deal, just a little cosmetic problem... And all of them work just to level things out. These are what I have right now: These are what I'm looking at: http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1816&d=1285716419 Thanks, Winslow

I am going to change my rotors, pads and calipers. You guys have any experience with those pump up brake bleeder systems? One person tool, plus I can flush the lines out with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
