    Got Pink Strawberry Shake for Engine Coolant?

    Hagar1, thanks for the input. There are evidently a lot of folks out there that agree with you on this. Even I do, to an extent. I just wonder how many flushes it will really take to get all the contamination out of all parts of the transmission? There are a lot of nooks and crannies in a...

    Got Pink Strawberry Shake for Engine Coolant?

    I'm posting this here in hopes that it might identify some things for others with "Pink Coolant" and/or transmission fluid. I'm also curious as to how many owners have experienced the same thing. How did you go about resolving the issue? I have always found that the more information given on a...

    Transmission fluid in radiator

    I'm posting this here because of the relevance to the thread topic and in hopes that it might identify some things for others with "Pink Coolant" and/or transmission fluid. I'm also curious as to how the original poster's situation turned out. I have always found that the more information...

    Need source for dually Side Marker Lamp SOCKETs

    18CrewDually, Thanks. The part you found is the entire assembly and all I actually need is that little grey piece sticking out the back of it; the lamp "socket". Yeah, my local NAPA parts store looked up Dorman parts for just the sockets and was unable to locate those. At the time that I...

    Need source for dually Side Marker Lamp SOCKETs

    I've noticed that posts/questions like this don't usually get much response, but I have done a pretty exhaustive search and am running out of places to look. So... My 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 "side marker" (rear fender) lights have pretty much baked the lamp sockets. I tried a few ways to try and...

    2005 dodge running lights

    Hello, Preston. I hope you have found the source of your electrical problems by now. My ‘05 has had more than it share of electrical issues over the years, but have not had “all” the lights go out. There are a few fuses involved when it comes to that many different lights out. For instance...

    AMP Power Step XL wont deploy - 2500 Crew Cummins

    Thanks, Jawzs2, you are correct. I had been searching the Third Gen. threads and forgot that I was in a different area. I see it now, but had totally missed what year his Ram is.

    AMP Power Step XL wont deploy - 2500 Crew Cummins

    I'm getting ready to install an older set of AMP steps on my 2005 Ram 3500. I don't suppose you took a picture of that "green" port and its location, did you? I'd really appreciate seeing it. Actually, I am going to be installing several new electrical add-ons -- didn't realize just how many...

    48RE Shift Issues

    For quite a long time, my 2005 Ram 3500 (Cummins diesel, rear wheel drive, SLT) had been very difficult to get out of Park. I studied "YouTube University", as well as some of the online Forums and decided to put in the "Detent repair kit" from TransGo to correct the issue. What should have...

    Intermittent "sluggish start offs" from stand still.

    Has anyone come across this problem? My '05 Ram 3500 dully -- diesel, auto trans -- has recently got to where it takes a whole lot more throttle/RPM to get 'er going. It acts as if I am towing something really heavy, or as you'd expect if you were riding the brakes a bit. Once it gets going...

    Mileage on your 3rd Gen.?

    I’ve owned my 2005 Ram 3500 dully, CTD about 4 years now. Not sure, but don’t think engine or transmission have ever been rebuilt, replaced, or major repair done; but, there definitely are some aftermarket additions (done prior to my purchase). Today, she has 274k+ miles and drives quite...

    How to find wires to dome light

    I am doing a couple of "electrical" projects to my 2005 Ram 3500 dully. First, I am putting some courtesy lights on the bottom of each door (4 total), that will light up when each door opens. The next "step" will be installing automatic (descending/ascending) steps on each side of the cab...

    What’s this?

    I wonder: does this have anything to do with the fact that the keys will easily slide out of the ignition in ANY position? So, I don't suppose reconnecting the BTIS should harm any aftermarket addons, huh? I found another post/thread explaining the adjustment proceedure for the BTIS, so I will...

    What’s this?

    You know... this truck has been quite difficult to get out of "Park" from the first time I got in it! I do think I still have to put my foot on the brake, though. I plugged the thing back in and turned the ignition key on; heard a whinning/whirring noise for a couple of seconds; then...

    What’s this?

    Hello. I own a 2005 Ram 3500 dually, Auto transmission, with Cummins diesel. I opened the panel beneath the steering column (for the first time) and found the following part hanging loose by its wires. I found where it “plugs in”, but since there are apparently several aftermarket add-ons on my...
