budd cochran wrote chinese bearings instead of us made timkens this is what i was expecting based on what i read. the bearing at the yoke end of the pinion shaft is/was a timken. i havent pulled the carrier bearings of the case yet but id wager they are timken as well. -bruce .

okay tom if the truck is in low 1 or low 2 it does not jerk. it will not jerk in reverse either. only in drive. hmmm.... not good. your rear sprag could be worn. im a bit out of my depth on this one... any tranny guys reading this where is that old fart gary g. when he is needed prolly putting a can of mobile 1 in the transmission case. if this guy hada done that he might still be working properly. -- --scott hendryx-- .

says... looking at a 06 magnum with the 3.5 as they call it high performance engine. what say you folks good bad denny mike tom max mac a little help here please. roy it dont run too bad.......till you drive one with the 5.7....... seriously i could live with it. i havent driven one loaded down with people and luggage but going out and putting 10-15 miles on it is not bad. i took one with a few thousand miles on it out on a stone lot to play with the esp and i have to say it works. its surprising how itll turn on loose stone at 30 mph or so. i know they dont have a bunch of miles on them yet but we havent had any engine/trans apart yet. i have put two front wheel bearing/hub assys in and there have been a rash of left rear power window motors. if ya like toys get the navigation system. its one of those things that id use about two weeks out of the year on vacation. i agree with denny..... sides an ol fart like you dont need nuffin bigger than a 3.5 anyways.... i would recommend the heated leather seats tho its gettin to be that season. mike my neighbor told his wife to buy whatever car she wanted shes good at wheelin and dealin so she comes home with a new magnum. problem is its the base motor a 3.1 and its a dog. even she regrets buying it. a 3.5 is ok i drove a charger as a loaner while my truck was being fixed. when i get my challenger its gonna be the srt-8. i dont care if gas is 4 bucks a gallon. im getting exactly what i want next time.. bdk .

i have been looking around and considering a cold air box since the air boxes on the cummins are restrictive that is what everyone says right. i came across this part that is approximately 4 in diameter and is sold as a modification to the current air box. you cut a 4 hole in the bottom of the current box and the hard plastic tube fits into the hole and the other end is done near the front bumper; thus cold air is rushed into the air box. the company i saw this advertised wanted $129 for this simple modification. well i spent $4 at lowes for a 10 foot 4 diameter piece of tubing that looks exactly like that of the $129 part. i put that in and ran the other end down to the front bumper. not sure if it is improving anything maybe dropping my egts a little but it is too early to tell. next im considering a full flow through muffler but i cant make one of those... bob 2003 r3500 for your muffler you may want to look at genos garage they have a muffler elimination kit avail for the dodge trucks. www.genosgarage.com/products.aspdept=90 -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. thanks for the advice on the elimination kit. did you put one on any results to share bob its next in my list of mods. not done yet. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. i was reading up on the advantages of changing the muffler out. everyone mentions that it will be louder. i am more concerned with increased performance and fuel mileage. what have you learned i straight piped my 2k. the turbo seemed to come up a little quicker and it was noisey as hell. didnt notice any increase in mileage nor performance with the sop dyno. roy thanks bob .
