    48RE - Reverse won't engage when cold

    I took the truck out last night, and hopefully I have a simple problem. What I noticed is when it felt like I was in R, the dash indicator didn't show the ring around R. Put it back into Park, got the ring around P. Dropped it back into reverse and had engagement (and the indicator ring...

    48RE - Reverse won't engage when cold

    When you say it doesn't work at all... espain mas please. I put into R and nosin appen. Give it gas and the engine revs, but we don't go nos where. My driveway has a slight incline, so I comfortably coast to the street and get on my way. Also, doesn't always happen. Sometimes it works as...

    48RE - Reverse won't engage when cold

    I have a 2006 2500 CTD with a 48RE trans. New development, reverse will sporadically NOT engage when cold (relatively speaking - it's over 100F in Houston). Forward gears don't seem to have any issues, and once I've driven for a bit reverse works. Would this be a reverse band issue or...

    5.9 Cummins Exhaust Manifold Gaskets

    Good afternoon, My 2006 5.9 started making an obnoxious squeal when in upper RPMs pulling a heavy load. I see soot on the head between #1&#2 as well as #5&#6. I'm guessing both are from exhaust manifold gasket leaks during high boost. So....I have a new set of gaskets and tried to replace...

    Fan Roar

    4th Gen Seat Swap

    Perfect - this sounds much easier than I was thinking after chasing wires under the seat. I need to get a new cushion for the drivers seat and was thinking aftermarket heaters anyway - I've read the thermostats for the factory heaters communicate with the BCM. Interesting on the seatbelts...

    4th Gen Seat Swap

    Thanks - this is a great start. Forgive my ignorance - what is the "FSM" I need to find in the DIY section? And that interior looks amazing! Two questions: How difficult was the install of the center console and is that an aftermarket steering wheel cover you stitched on?

    4th Gen Seat Swap

    Howdy - completely new here, but I can't quite seem to find what I'm after. I just bought a 2006 MegaCab 5.9 after over a year of searching....aaaaaand the seats are as terrible I've read. So, I have found a set of 2013 Longhorn Laramie seats to do a front swap (back will come when I am lucky...
