Custom Crankcase Vent
Seems like running used oil vapor into the turbocharger might be bad,I've thought about it too.Also,these engines will run on oil,and if you managed to get a big charge of oil into the intake that could be a runaway situation.

New Truck........Almost
I borrowed a Ford,it was very nice of them to loan it to me,however it was a gutless turd that guzzeled fuel like it was goin' out of style!I'll just go ahead and keep the Dodge...

Newbie
Should not be necessary to climb under the truck,it's on the drivers side front,on the timing gear case.On the second gens we stand just in front of the drivers side tire and lean over the fender,move the wiring bundle a little and there it is!

Is the ABS hyper-sensitive in these trucks?
I got the parts from the Dodge dealer like Mopar man did and fixed up my rear caliper,changed the fluid too...MUCH better!I never used the brakes hard,so they got froze up in the back,my rear pads lasted 250k+lol.Now when I come to a stop I mash em' down from time to time to keep them free,it works good.

What's on your BOMB list????
I've got 4" exhaust,no muffler for right now,need to put that back....smokies are looking at me a little funny,soon they'll decide to say something about it.Got the "fuel boss" lift pump from Glacier,its very nice,for over the road anyway,it would need some guards for off road use.Have the southbend pressure plate,and hydralic system.Need a AFE intake,some kinda electronic upgrade,and a deer proof/elk resistant bumper for the front,I drive most of my hours at night and them critters are tough to dodge (pun intended)

stuck rings
After you sleeve you'll need to add some Nalcool (not sure of the spelling) to the coolant,cause' otherwise theres some kinda reaction with the sleeve,can't remember exactly why,but it corrodes the block if you don't.

Tires
I run 255/85 R16 in the winter with agressive tread,for the slush,siping helps.If I did not care at all about how long the tires lasted I'd buy BFG ATs,they are the best I've used in the snow,and on the ice,but in the mud they suck!An 8500lb truck aint my idea of fun in the mud anyhow,when you get it stuck....woo wee,thats tough to pull out.

Why Cummins is so tough...
The only trick with the 6.0 ford is keeping them running long enough to need rods.

New SouthBend Clutch Tomorrow
Dorkweed,are you still liking that clutch?I had problems with mine,and SB never got back to me on my broken center....I never even got the crosshatching out of the flywheel,was not impressed with the center,the pressure plate is top notch however,I've used it for about the last 200k,since the stock release bearing went out and mangled the stock pressure plate.The friction material in the SB is great too,mine was a little to grabby for hauling heavy,I don't use the clutch very aggressively,I think that bridge sections and stuff are what did mine in.Also have the SB hyd stuff,and it's great too...I hope you have good luck with yours,I'm sure it would make a great mudding/tractorpull clutch.Brian

stuck rings
I messed up number 6 in mine,I had it fixed,and the folks got another piston and rings,and honed it out....ran great.It depends on how bad it is I think,I'd just try to get away with honed.I may be mistaken,but I BELIVE that in the big ol book they say you can get away with getting one piston a few thousandths bigger than stock,and it will work,mine was not too bad so they did not have to,they put a new stock one in.Brian

UPDATE! Aug 28, 2007 - MPG and Cost per mile
I've got little red x's for pictures on mine...What mixture are you running?I put about half a bottle in my 100gallon tank to get back home once,when my LP started acting up,and after I did that I had some kinda wierd problem,at an idle the truck would act like it had been shut off for about .25 sec,then it would blip back up to 800rpm and run fine,then do it again...it finaly went away,but I never figured what the problem was.

Wireing in a heated power seat.
Anyone know what wires do what in the plugs?I'm putting a heated power seat from a 2000 ram in a 01.5 ram,plugs are different,and my 01 had el cheapo seats in it,so it's only got 2 wires....must be the seatbelt warning.Trying to wire the darn heat controls in is going to be a PITA...Thanks in advance!

Carter Campaign Lift Pump
These guys have the stock pump http://www.blueridgediesel.com/fpgaugekitdodge.htm (FP guage is too exspensive there,check Geno's) I put a "Fuel boss" from Glacier on my 01,it's worked great for more than 200k so far.
