I read this article and my blood pressure shot off the scale. These are NOT conservatives.......they ARE MORONS with diesel pickups that will ruin owning a diesel pickup for everyone.

EXACTLY.

I thought there had to be something a lil beefier in a 3500 than a 2500. I'm not ready for that job. That front hub assembly was like a hundred pounds, at least that what it felt like when doing the Moog Problem Solver all 4 ball joint replacement a few years back. Truck is a tank!

So did Yabba get the DAP or did you just clean up the old ones? Think I saw a YouTube vid that Mike did that! Did you all subscribe to his channel, great 2nd gen stuff! Should be a prerequisite to our section. Yabba, I have horses too, also a musician, cool! Dave

I sure hope the left sees this rebellion for its face value and puts the blame where it belongs, but I have a feeling this is gonna be just another black eye we can't afford. Hookin up to a sled or running a 1/4 mile is one thing, but the whole "Rollin Coal" gig is a sure sign of immaturity, or maybe a lack of education? I dont know... Can't tell ya how many kids see me in my truck and think they gotta give me the ol black cloud salute... ahhhhh!! I've given many of them a reprimand if I get the chance, I even got my kids on board (thank god, cuz my oldest is begging me for a diesel for his first vehicle) CSM hit it on ther head, stay classy diesel community!

I have pieced together a "booney kit" over the years of all the important sensors that can leave you on the side of the road. They're easy enough to carry around, generally all you need is a basic few tools to change any one sensor out.. I spent the extra money and bought all OEM sensors...everything except my APPS is original so I look at it like this I would rather spend the extra few bucks and get something that will get me several years of service compared to some chinese junk that realistically will probably last a fraction of the time the OEM sensor lasted. Buying OEM doesn't guarantee it will last as long as the original but your odds are definitely better. I helped a friend change a crank sensor out on his Dodge a year or so ago and he bought one from Autozone, I can tell you it wasn't near the same quality as the Cummins sensor in my tool box. I compared them side by side and even offered it to him under the terms he replace it but he didnt want to spend the extra coin...hopefully it holds out for him but i have my doubts...

Stay classy diesel community.

The bottom line is , it's a marketing ploy dreamed up by a advertising specialist.

I'm just saying test them to rule out any injector issues. This why I'm just suggest the test so we can rule out causes of why its smoking. You might just replace them and not gain anything or make the problem worse. This why testing is best before just through money and parts at any problem.

My 02 did this same exact thing. I finally figued out I somehow was building vacuum in my fuel system. Next time it does it, go back and open the fuel cap and listen for a wooshing sound or leave your cap loose. If it were injectors, I believe it woould happen more often

My Raptor 100 does the same thing on hard twists and turns in the road. It's weird. Fuel pressure does bounce right back though without restarting

Just past 230k... Just another 8k to get to the moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_distance_%28astronomy%29

Antifreeze should be done every 30k miles. I try to do the brakes every couple years and its a good idea to rebuild the calipers right away when you do that. A lot of people try to do the gear boxes once every year or two depending on how you use the truck and how much. As for oil labs, I have heard good things about Oil anilyzers Inc, and I think fleetgaurd has a program now too.

My god you guys are so lucky to live where you don't have to undercoat. What a pleasure it would be to work underneath something like that and not come out from it looking like a greaseball from head to toe. I should've taken a picture of myself before I got cleaned up after working at mine all day.
