Mike, I hope all is well with family, Have seen no other notifications. Randy

Has anyone else had these issues with their trucks, I can be the only one with the thousands of CTD's out there. And the wiring diagram in the article, I cant seem to blow it up to print so I can read it?

Are there Tech articles on the PDC? If so I haven't found them. I seem to be having power/ground issues there (PDC) If I turn on headlamps the truck shuts down. Will restart if switch is off. Also have no heater blower at same time. Engine code is no ECM communication. Seems to either be a power interruption or most probably a ground issue? Any ideas on where to start. the bottom of the PDC is difficult to get to!

So just to be clear, sorry. You use the stock calipers with larger pads?? Doesn't seem to make sense to me that you would retain the stock 2000 calipers on 2004 "larger brackets, pads, rotors...

TFaoro. I am thinking I like the 2012 wheels you have on yours ! Dieselfuture. What are the difference in the 04 brakes? Larger? would I need caliper brackets and all? rotors?

I am re-building my 2000 CTD 2 wd truck after several bad MICHIGAN salty winters...geesh I wish I would have oiled the insides of everything like I know I should have.... Anyway I am looking to upgrade the wheels and tires and need to know "what fits" from other years ect? Looking to go with maybe a newer take off wheel in a larger diameter. This will be only a road truck, no off road, stock height, fiberglass boards, I do tow a 5 th wheel. I heard that 8 lug ford wheels were the same. I do not plan to buy new wheels but would like to find some in ex condition somewhere and get new tires. So ! any ideas?? Many thanks to all on this forum for all you do

Thanks to all, with a little searching after my post I found the tech article on it and ordered the kit, now I have the vac pump kit and the starter contact kit, now to get to work!!

Help, I know I have seen a tech article or something on my leak in the past, just can't seem to find it now. I have oil leaking from between my power steering pump and what ever the pump in front of it is? maybe a hydro boost pump? sits below the injector pump. As I have the truck torn down for body work I would like to repair the seals ect if avalable. Many Thanks in advance!!

If the fitting is the one I am thinking of, it is a brass fitting ahead of the linkage, I think it's the "hot line".I broke one on my truck and had to order it from a dealer, it wasn't cheap, like $40.00....ouchIt was a special fitting and I wasn't able to source one locally due to the was the line went in, I hope you have better luck finding one than I did.....good luck

Travis;What have you found out on your trans issues?Mine is kind of doing the same thing, will not shift out of 1st with throttle on, but if I let up on the pedal or just drive easy she will shift to 2 nd and so on fine.The truck has 120K on it, trans has been serviced, no mods. Anybody have an idea to help??I was thinking a shift solenoid but????Thx Randy

Hey,For us that don't know.....Who and Where is Larry B.Where do we get these contacts from? Thx

I do have a shift kit and a H D Converter, stock Valve body for now though......only so much $$$$to go round eh?

You are probably already going to look at this...but don't forget the KDP fix..How many miles are on this motor that it needs "freshening up"??And thanks for all the pic's ect, good write up so far...

It was a "side job" for a Dodge mechanic, and a favor for my son who is a GM mechanic..............gotta love cash !!

I got mine from Diesel Auto Power, best price and service like Mike said. $995.00 / free shipping
