    manual tranny high engine idle

    Gang, am looking all over for some help for this question. The automatics use a high engine idle to frontthe rpms up when they want and this is activated by the cruise ccontrol. It is not this simple with the manuals first needed is activating the PTO, then is where the issues come it requires a...

    Cummins break in and synthetic/petrolium oil questions

    I read the owner manuals a lot while sitting waiting for planes or traveling, my wife tells me I must be only one who reads those things. When it comes to pulling I load up my other car on a dolly and tow it around-i call it exercising my truck. Like other said you will have fun and enjoy it and...

    In the owners manual says should work it, I pulled my car just to give the Cummins some "exercise" the family thinks am weird and says I must be the only one who reads the manuals and does this. Thanks after seeing seeing this she says must be a "boys and their toys" thing. I plan on exercising...

    Def

    I had the same concern with the needle not moving and the dealer said nothing's wrong, and I was told based on my driving I dont use much. The needle didn't start moving until 2800 miles, now I have 4000 and the guage reads just over half. I spend alot time on the highway at 65 so no need for...

    2013 Ram 2500 headlight bulb replacment

    Greg you are right these ones in my tradesmen are trash during wet conditions, I put a brush guard on and will add some fog lamps to help out also. I was thinking if there was a way to change the bulbs without taking the guard off just to be a little easier. 3 years is great what watage are you...

    Cummins break in and synthetic/petrolium oil questions

    This is my first diesel and when I picked it up the manual states to load the engine for first 6000 miles it helps the engine to seal. I asked several who had a lot experience with the CTD, they said the same load her down as often as you can these bad boys are made to be worked. I loaded my the...

    Weston HDX

    12star no issues very durable and sold. Friends say it's big weight it about 100lbs, I like the fact I can stand on it and get into the engine or clean the hood. The top bar is a little lower than originally thought so I bought a AeroSkin from AVS to help prevent rock chips along the lip. It...

    2013 Diesel from 2012 Hemi

    Thanks Greg I am curious will the fog lights provide some extra light to add the driving lights, and will the aux lights be too bright for highway driving?

    2013 Diesel from 2012 Hemi

    The brush guard sticks out too far to use the space between the tow hooks and the guard uses those hooks also. No per drilled hole and was thinking of adding. Lamps to the very bottom bar and add some square LEDs or kc style fog lamps.

    2013 Diesel from 2012 Hemi

    The HEMI was nice but the Cummins is all around better IMO, from gas to power I like it more, in a 1500 the HEMI would be a beast I think. I really love a manual to be trueful. Thanks Greg, I see you are well in tuned to here looking for fog lamps with my set up, have any ideals that I may look...

    2013 Diesel from 2012 Hemi

    Well so far I added a Weston HBX brush guard, MOPAR black running boards, and Aero skin by AVS. Next will be fog lamps, tonneau cover, then gooseneck hitch. The wife said bigger tires and lift would be good to do when time comes to replace this love that woman. Aero skin fits right in
