Agreed dave110 I have a great time tearing up the satire and tech-wars over at CF.com but I would agree that mopar1973man.com is a very different environment. - I'm here because I have exhausted the info I can get from my Mopar TechAuthority and my AllData accounts and I know there is more knowledge out there. I've learned that the simple and most helpful details are NOT in the tech manuals. Those critical details are to be found in places like mopar1973man.com and are posted by people that have actually done the job themselves. Thanks again for stopping by to say hello! -Ej-

There is obviously a lot more here than meets the eye. Thanks for explaining that.

Hi dave110, Not to worry, I left my 'other' personality at CF.com This is strictly business. I've seen tech data here that I've never seen on most of the other forums. However, I did think long & hard about using a fresh Handle and Avatar here but meh... It would be pretty obvious who I am quite quickly. - Anyway, thanks for stopping here in the noobie section to make contact. Cheers, -Ej- Yes indeed Mopar1973Man. As a first time Cummins owner I have harvested tons of helpful info from forums since I first jumped on board this train in 2015. My last truck was an F250 with a 5.4 gas engine. There wasn't much you needed to know or do other than drive it. - I learned quickly that's not the case with the 6.7L RAM/Cummins. An emissions diesel is a very interesting vehicle with all its quirks and oddities, but I'm glad I bought it! ...and glad I found your forum. -Jake-

Pretty amazing that you put that much energy into this place. This place is indeed 'different' than all those other RAM-Cummins forums I have visited. Thanks for your work here. - Cancer? I never had it but both my older sisters have had to deal with it and my Daughter-in-law was infested with it. She was a basket case at age 23. Lots of surgery & Chemo brought her back though. <long story> - I have owned plenty of trucks and plenty of Mopar's but this is my first Cummins. I took delivery on April Fool's Day 2016 from Kernersville Dodge in North Carolina. It was a factory order. I'm 63 and recently retired from a long career in electrical engineering for heavy industry, but as I mentioned, I'm no mechanic thus forums like this have helped me immensely. - My truck is all stock aside from a steering box brace and some suspension upgrades so I can carry the 3800 pound camper in the bed. I did most of the recalls myself since I'm not real comfortable about handing my $70,000 truck over to a dealership to hack on. Thanks again for communicating with me as a new user and please excuse my mistakes in posting as I become more familiar with this particular format. -Jake-

HI! Here are some of my goals/questions... - 1.) Between my AllData account and my FCA service manuals I have just barely enough information to survive with this 2016 recall-queen of mine. This post <listed below> made me feel that perhaps there is more information I could use in this forum... https://mopar1973man.com/topic/14537-electrical-article-engine-wiring-diagram-2013-cummins-67/?fbclid=IwAR34t8cqnTvUF1LbIrBW-W646xd12p9KEcEnU63zGohMnrrA-qOicy_w2mE - 2.) I need to do some test-posts to learn how to use this forum better. Things like proper use of BB code, getting my signature at the bottom of my post, properly posting pictures in my profile, etc... The typical noob stuff. - 3.) Is there a premium or paid member capability here? - 4.) Can you post me a link to the donations page? - I'm NOT a mechanic, just a new RAM/Cummins owner that came to the realization that if I plan to get a good 5 or 10 years out of this sow I better learn how to swing a wrench... Or be prepared to spend a LOT of $$$ paying someone else to do it for me. Thanks for your reply post. It's appreciated! Regards, -Jake-

Greetings! New guy here looking for information about my 2016 3500 Longhorn. I use it to move this 3800 pound camper around once in a while. <pic below> This looks like a nice sensible forum.
