We haven't ever had Bio Diesel for sale locally and I found a small start up company selling the Bio fuel today while searching for injectors for my truck. I know I'm not supposed to run 100% Bio,what % can I run with out causing issues? Truth be known,I don't know how its sold in the lower 48. With as much oil as we pump out of the ground here and all the technology floating around the state,I would have thought Bio fuel would have caught on long ago. I see the greenees driving the old Mercs,BMW's,VW's puffing french fry smell,so I know guys are making it in their garages. I hope this company makes it and we can finally start seeing it along side our diesel pumps.

I think mounting at an angle would do the trick. I gotta figure out how to keep the snow from packing around it when I'm bashing through berms. Thanks

I just noticed I posted in the 6.7 side. Sorry bout that fellas. I'm sure I'll stick with my 47 series,just need to decide who's kit and TC I'll go with

He was one of the ones I talked with about a rebuild. He is one I would consider because of his rep. With my questions,I was hoping that there was somebody with transmission experience that might enlighten & educate me.

My truck is an early '03 with the 250 hp engine and 47 series transmission. Unfortunately with over 100K miles and turning my Smarty up too high,I have to rebuild my tranny. Does anybody have any idea what it takes to upgrade the internals to the 48 series trans? Someone told me the only difference is the 48 series is fully electronic with the same clutch packs as the 47 series. The stealership told me the 47 series is basically a 727 with an overdrive and is as strong as the 48. Then I was told the 48 series is tougher trans then the 47 by someone else. Not sure what to believe. :banghead: With the later '03 Rams getting the higher output engine and a 48 series leads me to believe the 48 is a better tranny. I see many of the big name rebuilders sell kits to do the trans yourself,which I'm going to try and do. But I'm not sure who to go with. Some places offer more to their kits,plus they all say their kits are the best on the market. Its debatable who has the best trans. So I'm not sure who's kit to go with,or what I really need for the trans to live with me towing and running with my Smarty turned up. I decided to rebuild it myself rather then giving the local shops $5000 +. I also will need a new TC and want to stay with a single,but the same question applies. Whom do I give my money to? Can anybody steer me straight?Thanks-Casey

LOL! Dogs are a mans best friend,my Smooth Fox Terrier,Commanche goes every where with me. Loves to ride on the armrest of my truck.

I've got a silly question, what prevents rain spray from soaking the fan motor? I realize its sealed up from the factory,but running down the road at hwy speeds is bound to throw lots of water. The reason I ask is,I live in Alaska and we get lots of rain all summer long. Then the snow the rest of the year.I like your idea and would like to do that to mine. I unfortunately have to rebuild my transmission soon and want better cooling. I'm a tad concerned about the road spray and packed snow on a cooler mounted under the truck. I may be looking at the design all wrong and have nothing to worry about mounting it there.Thanks-Casey

I just joined this site and wanted to say hi to everyone. I haven't had a chance to scope everything out yet,but I like what I see so far.Stay safe,Casey
