    Thanks Rogan,I just checked my truck and realized that my question is irrelevant. The edge attitude does not plug into the obd, it plugs into the data link in the engine compartment; its been awhile since the install, must of got it confused with my other car that has the SGII in it. Sorry 'bout that. Just a delirious rambling while on midnight shift...GB

    It is very possible that it takes at least 4 quarts. Everything I have looked up for your truck shows between 4 and 7 quarts for the rear differential. What rear end does it have? If you have the build sheet for your truck that would narrow it down quickly. If not there should be an Id tag on it near the diff. cover. I have a 2000 model and used Amsoil synthetic everywhere.

    Looks good Mike! Just think; now you can put twice as much wood in the bed now! WOW it is GREEN there! We have been super dry here, sucking on smoke from the wildfires upwind of us for the better part of the month... Congrats on the new tires and wheels GB

    Here is my pics... [ATTACH=CONFIG]2923[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2922[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2921[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2920[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2919[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2918[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2916[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2917[/ATTACH]

    What kind of wheels are you replacing them with Mike? I thought the wheel cracking issue was with 17" wheels and only a small handful if that. I hope mine hold up! If you want to sell your single good rim let me know. Chris

    No leaks... The cracks where on the inside bead where you wouldn't normally see it. But 3 wheels had at least 3-5 cracks a piece in them... But 1 wheel was absolutely fine... Go figure... :shrug:

    Where are they cracking? I have not heard of this, is it a casting problem? Might be an opportunity to move up to 17" late model rims and tires. I see factory take off wheel and tire combos on craigslist in Denver fairly regularly for around $1000. Betcha you could find some in Salt Lake or closer if you looked around. Chris

    Hey all,I have a 05 caravan with the 3.8L which I bought new and now has 70,000 on the clock.Over the years it has had an intermittent ping/rattle under light to heavy acceleration. I typically use 91 octane fuel in it and seems to help a little, but it still happens from time to time. It has happened on cold days and hot days on flat terrain or hilly terrain. Does this engine have a knock sensor? and if it is working shouldn't it back off the timing, if this is a problem?I seem to remember in the 90's dodge had different ecms based on where the vehicle was operating, ( at least on the dakotas and ram gassers)The vehicle was purchased in Georgia with the elevation around 900ft. The vehicle is now typically driven around 4000 to 5000 ft elevation. Could this play into the fuel/air mixture, or should the computer compensate for this? Any clues are appreciated!GB

    Wow Mike,Sounds kinda like the fun I had last year! The way I ended up getting my ball joints out was tightening up the press on the joint as much as I could and then beating on the knuckle with a 5# hammer. The combination of pressure and vibration popped them out with a very loud bang. The bearings however were incredibly difficult to remove.GB

    Last year Hawkeye had his 6spd take a dump on him, you might ask him for his thoughts on rebuilders. Pretty sure there is an extensive thread on here about his adventure. I wish I could help you this time, but I don't think there is that much cardboard in the world :) GB

    I would most likely park it... At this point you could get it rebuilt but drive it longer and you will have a major failure...

    If you want I have an extra drawstraw that Ill send you for the cost of shipping. I ended up using a draw straw I on my truck when I installed my airdog 150 GB

    ok no instructions and no myths, im ready lmao, it looks like thats my problem, (bad vp44 or low pressure) so could this be a good fuel pump AirDog Raptor 100 GPH High Performance Fuel Pump with Built-In Adjustable Regulator Preset at 15-17 PSI for 1998.5-2002 Dodge 5.9L Cummins with In-Tank Fuel Pump, part number PFTR2SBD355,(for about 365 dlls) i didnt know how to upload an image thats why i only post the specifications.:banghead: this is the link http://www.parleysdieselperformance.com/products/airdog-raptor-100-gph-high-performance-fuel-pump-with-built-in-adjustable-regulator-preset-at-15-17-psi-for-1998-dot-5-2002-dodge-5-dot-9l-cummins-with-in-tank-fuel-pump Thanks again for all your help guys.

    Hey all,I have had my oil filter head leaking for awhile all over the side of the block, so it is time to pull it off and replace the gaskets. I looked in the FSM for some guidance on what to do, but no luck. Is there anything special I need to be aware of besides draining the coolant? I bought 2 paper gaskets from cummins (the parts guy advised me that is all I should need). I figure the proper torque on the bolts should be 18ftlbs based on the size of the fasteners.Thanks,Chris

    Thanks Dually, I decided to go with performance friction pads from my local oriellys auto...lifetime warranty like the raybestos. I got a couple of caliper rebuild kits while I was at it too. They told me whenever the pads wear out to bring them back for a new set... gratis! My rotors are good this go around, but next time i plan to use EBC rotors. They make their rotors in Italy and in the UK. Matched sets on summit are $230 slotted and $260 for slotted and dimpled rotors. Not too bad! Thanks for the reply, GB

    I get raybestos they have a lifetime warranty.When mine are finished off i bring the receipt in along with the spent pads and get free ones.I dont know if they still do that or not.Check parts plus store.
