These trucks require the same kind of care and maintenance as any other forty-plus year old vehicle that spent half of its life being abused by careless hot-headed twenty-some year olds. Things are going to fail... things are going to break... parts are going to end up becoming scarce. Even...

I went and compared the two winches that I have, and there is a considerable size difference, however I just couldn't imagine using either one for anything more than the occasional self-recovery. They're just not what I would consider to be very user friendly. You should have two people...

I was kinda thinking the same thing... the deuce winch driveshaft is on the drivers side while the 5-ton winch driveshaft is on the passenger side... Opps... I just found how they can be switched to the other side.

Actually the automatic transmission that Dodge uses can be built up to handle more power than the Allison can be built up to handle. Suncoast Transmissions has built up a few Dodge transmissions to fit behind some high power Duramax diesels

That's a good question. I notice your truck has a different style heater.... it may be for a fresh air valve for the cab

They may have turned up the fuel on her some... does it roll any coal when you're hard on the throttle?

I ment the aluminum 20x10 wheels on the front. I have some with a different offset but I need some like those for the fronts.

If there's no turbo present then it's most likely still the small cam

That thing has got to be heavy!

What have you guys done with your backs?!!... lift with the legs man!

That's why I said to use hub locks....

If it were me I would keep the ARB in the rear and install one of those solid welded spider balls in the front along with hub locks

You'd be farther ahead using a CF-2 rated SAE-40 oil. It already has the higher ZDDP levels, and it uses only balls and no sticks to lubricate with. It has about the same characteristics as the old CH-4 15W-40 except for the cold weather rating.

Cylinder liner cavitation has more to do with engine harmonics forming empty vacuum pockets along the surface of the liner. Unless you're racking up hundreds of thousands of miles your engine will never see that issue. The liner O-rings on the other hand are what you should be concerned about.

Let's see if we've got all the bases covered here... Hauling 20,000+ lbs with a 5-ton Customize bed because you need something to suit your specific needs... check Change out engine for something with more power because climbing hills at 5 MPH is going to annoy you... check Change out...

Judging by the looks of what came out I think you need to "add" a complete coolant system flush to your list of things to do!

I can't speak for any other state, but last winter here in the wonderful state of New York we had some of the worst problems with fuel gelling. The fuel was absolute garbage... put all the additive in it we could and it would still gell. After our company mechanic witnessed fuel gelling at...

Your fuel return valve is most likely sticking, or not holding the correct pressure. I've had this same thing happen on a few of these engines.
