What is the fuel rail pressure suppose to be? I can pick up a gauge for 150 bucks. And it's just a plug in then mount.

Sucks for them.

Does cummins use DEF? Because my 09 does not.

Yes I am from FRF. I plan to change tranny filter/oil soon. I want some preventive maint. I heard this tranny's aren't the best.

I do have 4 radiators. I live in sioux falls

Ya, I got about 80 miles I need to drive to get the thing back to the shop.

I would be happy if my truck last about 1/4 of that. Prefer half that. Working on my maint now so i can reach that number again some day.

Do you guys flush your tranny or just replace filter and pan gasket and add oil back in? I do not see anywhere that a flush is even metioned. Do you use regualr ATF fluid?

Well turn out I finally replaced the fuel filter in my truck which was not too hard. Besides the fact that dodge switched the DAMN fuel filter housing therefore I need to buy the updated housing and filter. Well 73 dollars later I had the new filter and housing. It was quite simply. Tools needs8MM socket for 8 screws.Pan to drain fuel into2 hands. Drain fuel - Takes forever.Take fender off- 8 bolts very easy.disconnect WIF sensor and screw the drain line completely off.With your hand twist off the filter.I did take the tire off but because I need off for a different reason which did not busy not necessary. I bought the truck about 1 month ago and found the CV joint in the front drive shaft horrible out. I got in contact with the salesman he said they will cover the cost. Thank god! Sorry no pictures but i can post some next time. I just wanted to get it done this time.

It was a battery disconnect. I got another check engine while changing the fuel filter. Not sure what it was but it was gone one I was done.

Well the Engine code is gone, When I grabbed the Fuel tank lid it felt lose . I did not fully check it I just turned. Anyways within about 20 minutes the Check engine light is now off. The raddle noise is still there. It gets louder with MPH not RPM. Even though I can still hear noise sitting there in park at idle. I Kinda listen under truck and it sounds like the DPF but I could not get a central location on where the noise was. The noise is much quieter now. When it was happening at first it sounded like truck was falling apart and people could easily hear from half a block to a full block away. Now you got to try to listen for it. I plan on have the dealer still check the code on this but wont be able to make it to dealer till Thursday.

I have two issues with my truck and unsure what they are. Both just started today. 1. I am having a raddle sound coming from I believe up front. Unsure sure where. The faster I go the little louder but not much. I stop and rev the truck up No sound. So it only happens in motion. (VISUAL truck looks fine under neath. With out help unsure of how to check and how to check. 2. Check engine light is on. Unsure why, otherwise it would be fixed:doh:. But anyways the only changes in last two days have been i filled with diesel. I made sure I put right fuel in. Plus I put on only about 5-20 miles since then. Second I installed backup camera today, unsure if I hit a sensor or disconnect cable. I connected the wire needed for the backup live feed into fuse box. Unsure which one I used(my stupid) but unsure if voltage change would of done it. Any ideas for the two?

It appears just the oil cap needs to have the hose put in it. How long to install?

It's hard to imagine tp being a filter. Not sure if I can do it.

So how do you install this? Any none reverse able steps? I don't want permanent change.

It's on speed or CMT or something like that. It is a guy that LOVES 18 wheelers hard core. He does different things with 18 wheelers each show.The one eposide they have to bring a big object(covered all show) weight in about 325,000 pounds. The carriering/trailer weight about another 225,000 I believe give or take. The total rig was 635,000 pounds. It was about 265 long i believe the first post said. The trailer was 7 feet tall empty, the weight of the cargo was so have then when in place it was about 3 feet off the ground. The had DOT and state troopers following the rig till it's location.

I seen that, that was HUGE!

Which is better? Besides prices, only difference is filter. http://www.nucmotorsports.com/dodgeparts.html - Amsoil filter http://www.glacierdieselpower.com/product.aspx?pf_id=MK27509-BLK - Fleetguard

Start looking at going 45- or 55.... The savings I thinking on our trucks is about 45-50 I believe that is what MoparMan says.

Guys, I was just wondering what gauges you recommend for the truck. Fuel pressure and tranny temp are the only two I see worth spending money on. But my heaviest load maybe 10,000 pounds. Plus I have a idiot light if I get to hot. Worth the 50 dollar gauge?

That is awesome.

I believe this is what will set this forum in great shape to attract a lot of people.

THANK YOU!!!! Now just need the money. I really want the chip...

With a push lock, do you just push it on and your good to go? I will probably still use a hose clamp.
