5th Wheel Hich Position?
From : nehmo
Q: was at the local dodge dealer yesterday and picked up a brochure on the ctd engine. in it was a cutaway of the 04 or 05 engine. the dyno chart was the 05. anyway in the cutaway the flywheel was solid not a dual mass unit. anyone know for sure if the 04 and/or 05 used a dual mass flywheel al .

was there a leak that you fixed or did you evac the system if none of the above id be wondering where the refrigerant went that gave you room to add 2 cans... no leak that was fixed or evac of the system. i regularly run my ac all year round including the winter . in spring i had ac then when we had a really hot day i turned the ac on and nothing .... just the equivalent to vents. i decided to borrow a friends recharge kit and i bought 2 cans of refrigerant. i noticed that my compressor didnt click anymore which told me either the pressure was too low or the compressor was bad. i checked the haynes manual and all the tests passed for the compressor to be ok. the final test was to use a paper clip and override the sensor at the condensor. when i inserted the paperclip the compressor started working. i added 2 cans to the low side and my ac came back within about 1/2 hour of constant running. its been running great for the past 2 weeks or so. air isnt as cold as it used to be but other than that im happy. -- regards slick willy 73 cb 450 95 xj 600 03 flstf - parted ways in late july 04 flhrci - entering geezerdom at a mere 32 ... remove the bendover to reply .

thanks for all the suggestions. now any recommendations on where to look for a good quality short/long block or companies to stay away from thanks again. on sun 24 jul 2005 144656 gmt steve scott sscott1@twcny.rr.com wrote the 5.9l motor in my 98 2500 quad cab has developed a lower end knock. its most noticeable on start for a few seconds but its always there just much quieter. this truck has about 100k on it. my thought is a rod bearing but i guess it could be a main bearing. other than this the motor runs strong. we pull a 5000 pound trailer about 200 miles every weekend for several months. were looking to possibly be pulling for longer distances next year. are there any reasons to not putting rod and/or main bearings in or is a short block the only way to go thanks for any suggestions. .

nosey wrote the weak link with any oil burner is egt but if engine is not chipped there is little danger of damage on a long sustained pull. myself i would limit rpms to about 2600 or so on along steady pull i would not take it to the redline and hold it there. not that it would really hurt it but fuel economy will suffer on redline pulls and why bother just to get up a hill 5 or 10 mph faster when the other side will still be there when you get there i think you got it backwards there. cummins recommends that you operate the engine above the peak torque rpm but below max operating rpm in full throttle conditions. that is what i said as 2600 rpm the limit i set is above its torque peak not below it. i have driven several commins trucks and know its power curve well. regardless of ratings it has peaked by 2000rpm actual below that in a dodge. as you increase the rpm near redline effeciency drops as pumping losses increase resulting in higher fuel consumption for the load on it. in my younger years i used to help a inlaw farm and i always ran tractors a few 100 rpm above rated torque peak and that way they would slug though tuff spots real good and fuel consumption was lower too. if you worked it near the redline as my inlaw did sometimes it would pull down more in tuff spots and use a bit more fuel and not sound as happy either -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-towing-wrong-ftopict130077.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=634130 .

do you recall anything that happened before slipping and hitting your = head while in the shower yesterday morning deega-voo i will splain it to you. if you= know what i mean vern. on thu 14 jul 2005 085841 -0600 dj not@homewatching.tv wrote on wed 13 jul 2005 200418 -0700 miles nospam@noemail.com wrote transurgeon wrote try weighing a container with a hard vacuum inside then weighing = it when its filled with helium braniac thats pretty funny! if something is lighter than air then it weighs=20 nothing! i never knew that! i sorta kinda understand tbones logic although its rather bizzare twisted and confusing. maybe tbone lives in bizzarro world who knows... something is being left out here. the assertion that once a lighter than air aircraft has enough differential in density to become bouyant in our atmosphere that it becomes weightless ignores the fact the airship is indeed still pushing down on the atmosphere with the same force it was pushing down on terra firma as it sat before being filled with gas. the idea that once something is supported by external forces it is rendered weightless is just plain silly. by this reasoning i should be able to pick up a bowling ball hold it above the ground and render it weightless. after all it is truly being supported by a force acting in direct oppositoin to gravity. the bowling ball now weighs nothing but i now weigh 16 lbs more than i did prior to lofting the ball. the same thing holds true for the hot air balloon. the atmosphere is supporting the weight of the balloon but suddenly that very atmosphere now weighs more than it did before it took on the load of supporting the balloon. the theory of equal and opposite reactions would dictate if the air is pushing upwards on the balloon it must be pushing down on the surface of the earth with exactly the same amount of force. dj joe brophy countrytech computer email pcfixr@spiretech.com .

hi i have a 04 too 4x4 hemi and lets said that i am lucking to be ok and the car too well the main computer that control all the lights horn signal stop die while i was driving i realize when i hit the signal to turn left and i didnt see anything on the dash not even the window would work ... and i had to drive with any kind signal and stop light .. ecc to the dealer risky driving in the middle of highway. bye .. on sun 17 jul 2005 233625 -0700 m.burnside@comcast.net wrote driving along on the freeway with cruise set at 70mph. abs and brake light comes on then after one second the air bag then check engine light comes on. next speedo goes out and although does displaying mileage not increasing. next ac and blower stop. try turn signals and brakes and all other things like rev counter power windows sunroof and mirrors all work. pull over turn off engine and wait one minute. start up and everything works with no warning lights except check engine light which seems to come on randomly anyway. drive home around 70 miles and stop to get gas. start engine and this time check engine light goes out. seems like some sort of electronic or electric short since only somethings stop working. has anyone else had this problem anyone know what is wrong taken it in for both problems tomorrow and hope there is a fix. i have also had the engine stall on me at very low speed think goodness or else i would probably not be here. thanks .

could somebody preferably in plain english explain the strategy in the tour-de-pew. or maybe even post a link to something that can explain it. im kinda following it a bit itd be nice for armstrong to win again before he retires but im lost to why the team has to stay together all the time. it was a big risky move to send ole george out to try to win that hillclimb when he might be needed to lead ole lance up the hill. wtf yep. because george might have a particular strength such as climbing hills. why does lance need to be lead up the climb does george get ahead of him and throw a tow strap back and drag his ass up pretty damn close. if lance is drafting someone the climb is less of a drag thus he is less tired while making his way to the top. because he is less tired if any one challenges after the climb lance can meet the challenge and likely beat them to the finish line. some of those climbs look damned steep and the bikes dont look like theyre going much over a walking pace. does drafting realy make any difference at that slow speed denny .

well with out a proper set of gauges not the one gage check method filling as per manufacturer instructions checking pressure chart based on ambient temperature checking the super heat temp a proper leak test properly evacuated the system because all the refrigerant was gone or had air entrainment more than likely not having been trained in automotive hvac or licensed as per the epa you have screwed the pooch and you are lucky you have not blown your compressor up and injured yourself. any one of the above is your problem. -- coasty semper paratus always ready remove the spooge to reply 1999 dakata 3.9l 5-speed 108k on the clock. i had to do a recharge on the ac about 1 month ago which required 2 cans. i got my ac back and am happy with it but i did notice that its not as cold as it used to be. in looking at my haynes manual it says not to add more than 2 cans from the recharge kit and my truck every bit of it. my question is why could i not add more than 2 cans the low side will only take what it can handle and once its equal to the internal pressure as the system it will stop taking the refrigerant right am i missing something i think if i add a little more i will get back to where i used to be in regard to the coldness of the ac. -- regards slick willy 73 cb 450 95 xj 600 03 flstf - parted ways in late july 04 flhrci - entering geezerdom at a mere 32 ... remove the bendover to reply .

my hitch is directly over the rear axle. vehicle is a 99 f350 cc 4x4 8 bed. hitch weight is 2300 lbs. handling is transparent. with the 5th wheel attached the truck is level. 5th wheel axles have been reversed to match the truck. a fifth-wheel trailer is one that has a hitch that connects to the towing vehicle at a point above the rear axle of the towing vehicle - not at a point on the rear of the vehicle as with a pull-behind trailer. for example this is a 5th wheel http//www.theironworker.com/fifth%20wheel%20trailer.jpg my question concerns position of the point of attachment lets say the position of the king pin. for normal pulling of the trailer where is the best point to have the king pin should it be directly over the axle of the towing vehicle or should it be ahead of the axle if ahead by how much in what ways does handling change if the position of the king pin is changed this page http//www.etrailer.com/faq/fifthwheelfaq.asp discusses using a slider arrangement to move the king pin for maneuverability. it doesn t discuss the optimum position for towing. instructions that came with a hitch say to mount 0 to 6 inches ahead of the axle but provides no further information. -- |||||||||||||||| nehmo sergheyev |||||||||||||||| .
