should i go with a fuel psi gauge or a rail pressure gauge lets take a step back... whats the reason for gauges are you modifying the truck keeping it stock but planning on towing heavy or just want to know whats going on under the hood .

i unfortunately find myself in need or great want of a 3/4 ton diesel pu. after test driving i like the dodge first then the ford and a distant third is the gmc. scratch the gmc. ford is suspect because of the psd problems. cummins is my first choice but then im stuck with a dodge. i see many of you folks love your cummins but arent particularly thrilled with the dodge. what is it that makes you want a ford with a cummins in it i think the basic look of the dodge with the huge chrome grill is gaudy but i can get past looks for a dependable truck. does everything else on the dodge except the engine fall apart bb i love my dodge its a great reliable truck i cant imagine what besides a crew cab makes these other guys interested in the ford. .

the more complex the machine the higher the odds of failure. the questions are the same as before. as to the odds of getting left to sit along the road they are probably higher than what would be comfortable for a salesperson to discuss with a customer. of course what salesdroid would discuss a vehicles failure rate one thing you cant do is add the failure rates. if 100 components on the truck have a failure rate of 1% your conclusion below would doom the vehicle to failure in the 1000% range. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author on fri 20 oct 2006 035909 gmt max dodge max340@verizon.net wrote i understand exactly what you mean and im not criticizing you for it. maxs assumption is that failure is acceptable since they are going to the 100000 mile mark. im not saying its acceptable im saying its inevitable.... mechanical things fail. the number of failures must be compared to the longevity and the number of units in service as well as the same figures from other designs. not doing so leaves huge gaps in the information provided by a single number. is it inevitable not trying to be a smart ass i really wonder. this is interesting. do you think that 1 out of 5 dodge diesel rams break down and leave the owner stranded within the first 100000 miles that may be the case but it would concern me. those are not good odds. do you think that excluding all lp failures that there is a 20% failure rate of the trucks in the first 100000 miles that leaves the driver stranded if so the odds of a bad failure are one heck of a lot higher than i ever dreamed of i mean that would be 20% for lp and 20% for all other reasons which would be around 40%. if not then the lp causes more failures than all other things combined and that sucks in itself when you consider the way dc denied lp problems and layed it off on bad fuel and bombing. that would just put us back to the original point dc really did drop the ball with the lp problem and the customers should be pissed! my point is how acceptable or normal is it if the majority of the failures happen below 50000 miles which im betting is the generous norm based on what ive read from several sources. betting and proven as fact is the difference between assumption and logical conclusion. .

a 9ft. plow setup goes a little under 900lbs. meyer shows 890lbs. for their 9 diamond edge model. the front axles overloaded and you havent even gotten in the truck yet. i dont know how much weight my slide in camper puts on the front end but i already have 300# of winch and front bumper on my truck. it looks like adding another 250-300 pounds generator and mount would either be over the limit or to close for comfort. - im wondering if i should consider swapping in an f450/f550 front axle. -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911tech.com http//glockcarry.com .

what is memorable with the lp is when it failed you couldnt go to the dealer and get one put on. because dc was sitting on the damn things. nor could you go to your local napa and pick one up. not to mention that when a gas engines fuel pump failed the car stopped. when the 2nd gen lps failed the engine also stopped but by the time it did a $2k injection pump was wrecked as well. very good point. think about it in those terms.... what else could fail and produce as much damage dollar-wise timing belt on an interference engine thats why they have regular maintenance intervals. .

i have a 02 ram qc and would like to put in leather seats. thought about going to the local salvage yard to see if any wrecked rams but before i do i would like any info ideas from our group. thanks. well i am ahem somewhat familiar with leather seats and you might look around at some boneyards but as another poster alluded to katzskins make a very nice replacement cover that is pretty competitive pricewise and of very good quality. in fl there probably isnt much value in heated seats cant believe i said that! but up here where the frost is frequently on the punkin they are surely nice... my comrades comments notwithstanding. do a google search for katzskins or katzkins and you will get more info. mike .

do i understand correctly you changed out a lp that was at the time showing 15psi. at idle if so why i read it as it was 15psi when new but slowly dropped to 5psi which is when/why he changed it. okay. .

isnt that with the snow plow package i thought the regualar rating was 4800 or 4850 nope - thats the 4x4 rating. on 4x2s the front end is rated at less weight 4750lbs. for the 07s. all 4x4 diesels show a 5200lb. front axle. .
From : bigironram
well looking at the 07 numbers because thats all i have handy yes the axle is rated at 5200lbs. the curb weight on the front axle is a little over 4400lbs. whats the total weight of the truck not gvrw but dry weight a 9ft. plow setup goes a little under 900lbs. meyer shows 890lbs. for their 9 diamond edge model. the front axles overloaded and you havent even gotten in the truck yet. well figure this....that axle was originally rated at 3800 or so and the rating changed without any real change in design if any at all. plus the 01s and 02s had a cummins w/plow option iirc. they did. roy ymmv. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author the front axle on mine is rated at 5200 lbs the engine is only 1100 lbs. plenty of room for a plow. tires would be more of a concern due to weight ratings. well looking at the 07 numbers because thats all i have handy yes the axle is rated at 5200lbs. the curb weight on the front axle is a little over 4400lbs. a 9ft. plow setup goes a little under 900lbs. meyer shows 890lbs. for their 9 diamond edge model. the front axles overloaded and you havent even gotten in the truck yet. .
