    Had my 03 5.9 apart after dropping a valve on cylinder 6. Replaced the Valves and number 6 piston with all new parts. Replaced all valve springs with BeeHives and hardended retainers. Replaced Headagasket with MLS STD Victor Reinz. Installed ARP studs. After getting everything back together...

    I was climbing around under my truck looking for zerk fittings to grease after my oil change and I can only find 2! I just bought the truck last October so I’m still learning stuff about it. It’s a 2006 2500. I could only find 2 zerks at the front axle shaft u-joints. Seriously I searched hi...

    Hello! I tried looking for a similar form on this but I was unsuccessful. A few weeks ago my truck randomly started after I went roughly 80 miles. I put the key in but it didn't turn off until I hit the breaks. I don't have a remote start on this truck either. Today I was changing my headlight...

    Hello all, I have a 2005 ram 2500 with 255k miles on it and today I had the oil light come on for the second time in a few months. When I start the truck it registers no oil pressure at all but doesnt sound any different. Then I shut the truck down and immediately restart it, then it comes back...

    Both my fuel and oil pressure gauge do not work. When I turn the ignition on the truck my oil pressure gauge will go to about 60lbs without even turning the truck on. It’s like the sensor or something is hot wired or maybe the gauge/sensor is just bad? It will not move at all even when I turn...

    I just got a 16 3500 with 153k.. I changed the ccv first thing bc perform service light was on. Got it from reputable site and it went well, the dash says that oil and all filters were done 1400 miles ago with 92% remaining, but I’m adding a screen shot of carfax, and last maintenance record...

    Hey all, not my first diesel or oil change I’ll be doing. But I’ve seen several different posts all stating different oil amount for the second gens. I have a 2001 2500 and just want to hopefully know a straightforward answer about how much oil to use

    Have recently done a service, oil change, fuel filters, air filter. Had noticed some oil buildup on my turbo inlet when doing my air filter. About 6000km after my service it seems about 1 litre of oil has disappeared. I remember from past services that ive gone 15,000km with maybe a liter less...

    Hey all. I have a 2007.5 6.7l. I noticed my oil pan was pretty much rusted through so In the process of changing that, at some point I bumped the oil drain tube and when I started it to my dismay it spewed a ton of oil off of the turbo. The tube rusted half off at the block. Can’t even budge it...

    I started this thread to save people the time I spent looking for a replacement dipstick for my 94. The handle on my dipstick got broken off. Don't ask how it got broken. That is a sore subject. So I was on the hunt to get a replacement. The local salvage yards didn't have any. Started...

    I'm getting ready to purchase my first diesel truck and I feel like I went through all the places on my initial inspection. The truck sounds good, drives good and passed the blow-by test with flying colors. I was checking out the engine compartment and notice some oil around the intake manifold...

    Was checking oil and noticed it kept going up, I suspected fuel in oil and smelt it and it smells just like oil. So I think its coolant, its not very bad at all but definitely made the oil a little thinner and lighter. I notice coolant going down all the time but didn't think twice because of my...

    Hey all, have this thread in 3rd gen, but since g56 is also 4th thought i might get some more help here also. Been digging and reading about the heavily debated g56 preferred oil type. Also not a fan of ATF so i have come up with a few others that seem to be my best options. I will put ATF up...

    Been digging and reading about the heavily debated g56 preferred oil type. Also not a fan of ATF so i have come up with a few others that seem to be my best options. I will put ATF up for those who think it is good option. My truck is an 09, tuned, and i believe it has a dual disk from...

    Hey y’all, just did an oil/filter change. Let it drain for about an hour till nothing was coming out then refilled with 12 quarts. Took a reading after a bit and it was way high. Left it overnight and checked again this morning and it was still above the actual plastic piece on the dip stick...

    Hello, I am in search of used Shell Rotella T4 15W-40 motor oil, preferably with around 10k+ miles of use put on it using a Cummins 6.7L QSB engine. An owner who has done his/her own oil change would be ideal but not necessary. This oil will be used to test oil quality sensing technologies for...

    Not sure if I'm posting this correctly, but need to see if I can get some help! I have a 1995 Winnebago with a Cummins Turbo 300 (6.7L, I think)... About a year ago, we had the Temperature Control valve replaced. At first, everything was fine, but starting a month later, the Temperature Gauge...
