    Diesel stalls

    Earlier today I tried starting my truck ('95 3500 Cummins TD) it would start and then when I would touch the gas pedal it would stall. After a couple of tries I started it and then really laid on the gas pedal and it finally stayed running...seems okay now. Any thoughts on what that could be...

    Safe continuous RPM ranges when driving Cummins turbo diesel 12v

    When I'm driving my truck (1995 3500 Cummins turbo diesel) on a road trip I'm usually at about 2500 - 2700 RPMs -while the engine red lines at 3000- (I have 4.10 gears...so going 70-75MPH puts me at that RPM range)... Is this safe for the motor or is that consistent RPM range too high? I've...

    A trailer with no brakes?

    I'm going to be using my '95 Dodge Cummins 3500 dually to haul a 1967 ford f100 on a Uhaul car transport trailer. I've reserved the trailer and also found out that the trailers Uhaul rent don't have electric brakes. Is that safe? The Ford being towed weighs about 3500 pounds. It'll be a cinch...
