    2018 6.7 2500 ram egr delete

    You won't need a new tune for the EGR cooler delete, as it has been unplugged. The only reason to remove the cooler is to open up the engine bay to free up space under the hood to gain access to other things. All you would need to remove the cooler is a kit with the proper block off plates and a...

    2001 cummins head

    I had .006" planed off the head in my 6.7L CTD to flatten it for a new head gasket, which is quite a bit on a diesel, and there was no gain in either performance or fuel milage. To get more umph out of your 5.9L you may want to invest in a tuner for more power, and if that doesn't satisfy you...

    Mopar or Shell Rotella oil for a 2022 Cummins?

    DO NOT use Rotella T4 in your Cummins! Cummins changed from solid valve lifters to hydraulic and using T4 15-40 will cause engine clatter with hydraulic lifters. I have the solid lifters in my 2011 and have used both T4 and T6, and the oil stays cleaner/clearer than my gas powered car's oil. I...

    6.7 cummins low on power

    Make sure it isn't loosing boost through the grid heater gasket on the drivers side of the engine. No CEL or codes popping up? If the fuel control actuator on the fuel fails, you can unplug it from the harness and see how it runs. It might throw a CEL, but it will tell you if that is indeed the...

    Looking at buying a 2006 2500 Cummins

    I have read of gen 3 Cummins still running after1,000,000 miles, my cousin had long flat bed 3500 with manual trans that he retired north of 750,000 miles and it still ran good but the rest of the truck was turning into shambles. As was stated previously, it all depends on maintenance and how it...

    2014 Cummins 6.7 after market Turbo recommendations?

    I went with the Fleece Cheetah in my truck, at the recommendation of my diesel tech, and haven't regretted it. I don't know if it added much if any power but it sure enhanced the exhaust brake compared with the OEM turbo. On a stock 6.7 Cummins you may find increased performance, but mine had a...

    Tow/Haul

    As crash68 said, transmission line pressures are increased when T/H setting is used. The increased line pressure helps eliminate clutch slippage when towing, also it locks the torque converter which helps reduce transmission over-heating. An added benefit of T/H is that when the torque...

    Lifter tick after sitting

    These newer engines don't get lifter noise. What you are hearing is a rod bearing getting ready to spin. I learned this the hard way.

    What is the normal cooling temp you run when pulling a 11000 fifth-wheel?

    I run in 5th gear with my CTD when towing and keep the RPMs between 2,000 and 2,250. The only time it ever gets over 200F is when pulling hard grades. I always keep the RPMs in that range even if downshifting is required to do so.

    60K Diesel Service

    Sounds like it is time for some junk to fall off your truck. I would check those fluids on the diffs and Tcase to see what they look like and if they look like they are dark/dirty either change yourself or at a reliable private shop unless you want to support the stealership. If your truck is...

    If FCA finds out you are hot shotting with your truck (commercial use) they can and will deny warranty coverage.

    Diesel issues

    My go-to diesel shop installed a new Fleece Cheetah turbo in my 2011 CTD for under $3900 out the door a couple years ago. I think the Fleece is much better than the OEM turbo.

    2004 Cummins Ram Noise - Transfer Case?

    The first thing I would advise you check would be the front drive shaft u-joints and the CV joint. If it is something loose in the front shaft you will want to get it fixed because it can take out a lot of stuff, some of it expensive, if it comes apart. BTW, the front drive shaft turns even...

    4th gen 2500 cluster swap

    I don't believe a gauge cluster swap will fix this, because the control that sets this limit is in the ECM. You may be able to have a Dodge dealer flash the ECM and unlock this. Maybe someone with more experience with this problem can chime in, hopefully.

    Turbo? Actuator? Or Injectors? Loss of power, black cloud.

    You don't say how many miles on your 2011 CTD, but the oem turbos don't last very long; at least that was the case of my 2011. When my truck started throwing turbo codes my mechanic didn't mess with an actuator and installed a new Fleece Cheetah turbo with the actuator, and I couldn't be...

    Help with diagnosis please: 6.7 Cummins, new turbo, intermittently blowing blue smoke

    Have you changed the crankcase filter inside the top half of the valve cover? A clogged/soggy CCV filter could cause what you are experiencing.

    Engine Temp Normal?

    I would start with a Cummins TStat change. My 2011 CTD will get to 200F in colder temps than that in less miles than yours. These engines warm up slower in cold but do get to full operating temps.

    Check engine Light

    Is the DPF getting full? That may cause back pressure, but I don't know much about them as mine fell off when the truck had less than 3,000 miles on the clock.

    6.7 running hot at times

    My 2011 had a fan clutch that started to not come on sometimes when the heat went up, so I installed the Strictly Diesel FC conversion hub and went with a 2006 5.9 Cummins fan and a 1997 Ford Powerstroke viscuous fan clutch. This more mechanical FC solved the electrical FC issues. That FC...

    are cold airs work it?

    I ran an S&B cold air intake on my Cummins for years until I got fed up with cleaning the oiled filter, then I reinstalled the factory air box. There was no gains and no loss in performance either way and truthfully, I wish I had left the factory set-up on the truck. The factory filtration is...

    6.7L Whistle and poor performance

    If you are in warmer climate or towing, your trans temps are normal for summer, and I agree that you have a boost leak. Because of the smell, the other guys that have posted previously are probably right about it being at the turbo. Don't get crazy, but pull around on the inlet and outlet hoses...

    Dead 2500

    I had a problem with my deleted 2011 while moving my mother into assisted living in Missouri. I had loaded some of her furniture into a Uhaul trailer to take back to CO and the evening before our departure I fueled the truck up and immediately after I left the gas station it started running...

    Is anyone's oil NOT black immediately after an oil change?

    The 5.9 Cummins run black oil. I read on the cummins forum that there is a fix for this, and if my 70 Y.O. memory serves me correctly, they posted that a different camshaft corrected this. The black oil after a fresh change won't hurt the engine. My cousin has an older Dodge with the 5.9 in it...
