steering issue too much play
Some of the weird issues with steering boxes I've found is people run the same power steering fluid for years and years till there is debris built up in the system causing wear to parts. Then the boxes don't seems to last as long. Plus larger tires tend to add stress to already limited steering...- Mopar1973Man

Strange heater issue
Vacuum issues? If the vacuum is fading away it will flip to DEF mode and the vents will die. Then when the vacuum get strong again then it returns back to vents. You might look for vacuum leaks typically I find the cruise control vacuum motor with holes or a vacuum line with a crack in it.- Mopar1973Man

Code P0336 Crankshaft position sensor??
Yea... It just a wore out sensor. I would go to local part store and pick up a new crank sensor. You have to pull the starter to replace the sensor though. Typically I can knock it out in about 20 minutes.- Mopar1973Man

VP44 problems - Getting tired of the BS!
Another update to this I found that bad alternators can and will causes P1688, P1689, and a few other failures of the VP44. So there is more to watch over to protecting your VP44.- Mopar1973Man

Winter is coming - Need a high idle kit?
I wish I could. For me to buy supplies to build then I've got a long ways to drive now being the local stores have closed. I'm trying to get people to build them again but just haven't seen anyone do it.- Mopar1973Man

Any engine lights with you cai?
Best to just pull the codes and know what's wrong than to wish it would all go away. Personally I'm not to fond of K&N filters.- Mopar1973Man

When buying a cummins 12v or 24v?
Personally I say the 24V. The engine is totally bullet proof too just there is electronics involved which is great because it make diagnostic so much easier than guessin' the 12V's. Then the 12V p7100 pump might be bullet proof but doesn't have any dynamic timing like VE or VP44 pumps. So range...- Mopar1973Man

truck acting up on start up
Personally sound like a air leak issues and being you might have the nose down in some cases and nose up in others. Which nose down it will start every time where nose up it might be drawing air in.- Mopar1973Man

Winter is coming - Need a high idle kit?
But remember that not safe. The flash high idle is completely safe because it can cancel if... Speed above 0 MPH Coolant temp above 170*F Brake Pedal Pressed Transmission put in gear (auto) Throttle pedal pressed With yours the throttle remains high and could be dangerous... There is no way...- Mopar1973Man
