Dodge Cummins Diesel Question

From : lance lafrinier

Q: ok...i once owned a 95 2500 with the cummins and swore id never own another ram. when i traded it off in 1999 it had 100000 miles on the clock and was on its third automatic transmission. i need another heavy duty truck and dont want to ignore the diesels...im not much of a believer in v8 diesel engines so that leaves the dodge with the inline 6. has the automatic transmission weakness been rectified overall i was satisfied with the pickup other than the bad habbit of the $2800 tranny puking too damn regularly. it would seem like things have improved. but if the transmission goes south i wouldnt hesitate to toss in a bunch of dtt parts and be done with it. roy thanks lance .

wrote you only keep 1-2 gallons in it dont you drive the truck anywhere on thu 25 aug 2005 162249 -0600 dale yonz yonzie@mac.com wrote ykqpe.4295$ig2.2419@trndny01 j j@j.com wrote do they make locking gas caps for 1st gen durangos since the cap is tethered to the inside check with dodge parts they should have one. make sure its a mopar part if its not dodge will not warranty it if it should start rusting dale good point...something someone failed to mentioned when i asked this question a few weeks ago....but no problem..anyone who wants to try and steal 2-4 gallons of gas from my durango is really desperate.. thats why i make sure and only have 1-2 gallons in the tank! ;- i am thinking about getting a locking cap for my dak too... my truck is parked most the time so anyone could help them selves... at almost $3/gal i would rather not distribute it for free. any locking gas cap can be removed with a flathead screwdriver. anyone who wants your gas will still take it. -- any sharp hardened tip can drop a tempered window. anyone who wants your car will still take it. its not the thief that im protecting against. they will get what ever they want. its simply to reduce the temptation... plus with a locking cap pried off. its harder to explain yeah my buddy said i could take a few gallons from his truck .

not sure ill take a look. shane shane wrote i seem to be having troubles with my truck lately. every time i turn left my truck seems to loose what gear its in and the engine revs for only a few secs until it pops back into gear. its only when im turning left and its doesnt matter the speed or if its wide turn or not. does anyone know what might be the problems or have had experience with this any information would be greatly appreciated. shane transmission fluid low .

aaah! that makes more sense...when i tried to pry the plastic cover off the outside it tried to break...my mechanic vaguely remembered prying *something* off but inside panel sound like it works better. my mate is in the hospital just now so i wont get a chance to try it for a few days but ill post if it worked. cricket i did mine by removing it from the truck had to remove the door panel to get at the bolts then the screws that you tighten to increase the tension are exposed by removing 3 screws. a bit of a pain to do but it was worth it! -jerry anybody know how to snug up the arm so they dont swing back in the wind i assume theres a nut under that plastic cowling but i cant see a way to get it off without breaking it. thanks cricket .
