mike simmons wrote got above 5 degrees all day. when driving home the trans mission wouldnt shift into the highest gear until the truck was driven at least 2-3 miles. perfectly normal. the computer wont let the transmission go into overdrive until the transmission fluid temperature reaches a minimum level somewhere around 58f or so. the logic here is that the higher rpms will warm the fluid faster. has anyone else experienced this is it a problem that that should be grought to the dealer this is another one of those cases where theyd tell you that they all do that and they wouldnt be lying. rare... but it happens or you could read the owners manual sigh...... mike dont you just love it when the e dont you just love those people who never read the owners manual. .

davidj01 wrote although ive had my diesel truck for just a couple of months ive kept my eye on diesel fuel costs for the past year knowing i was in the market. generally diesel has been priced at or about the cost of premium. but here in kc ive noticed the price of diesel has been at $1.79 which is the cost of our regular leaded gas +/- .05. hopefully it stays that way... david i just filled up the other day low grade is $1.93 here in southern california. diesel is about even with high grade here at the moment. not too sure how many folks use heating oil around here especially since it was over 80 yesterday and most likely over 80 again today. .

that would be reduced air flow that could possibly cause that condition not an increase. this may still be a valid problem though since putting the screen in front of the radiator will decrease air flow not increase it. i would use a metal screen with the widest mesh available to both prevent the screen from melting and to minimize the level of restriction it causes. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i was told that it caused too much air flow and the air conditioner would suffer because of overheating the compressor with causes excessive high pressures and leads to early burn out. hugh daykin wrote i have recently been advised that it is not a good idea to place a screen over the grille of my cummins diesel. i would appreciate hearing from the experts on this subject. im certainly no expert but why would it be a bad idea overheating are you trying to protect the grill or just the radiator if its for the radiator i would put the screen behind the grill and keep an eye on the temp gage for a while. .

on tue 18 jan 2005 105123 -0600 william. boyd william@cowboy.net wrote i add my signature to answer what i have but the only draw back on the 48re transmission is there is no exhaust brake available for use with it. but i think the retard available in the ho engine while in tow/haul select on the transmission it will give adequate breaking for normal hill down grades. i hope on deciding between the 2500 & 3500 the 2500 is a pickup the 3500 is a truck. insurance premiums will better reflect that. but in addition the dings on the wide rear fenders on many dually s will also reflect a difference. both have the same engine and transmissions to select from the 3500 can carry more pin weight. but my 5er pin weight is 950# the 2500 payload is 2563# im already at an over-kill for a tow vehicle for the 5er i selected. my tow weight capacity is 13450 the gvwr on the 5er is 11070 the magic numbers are the gvwr 5er 11070# + ram 9000# = 20.070# ram gcwr is 20000#. the ram pay load of 2563# - pin weight 950# and hitch and tool box weight 500# = 1113# that could be added to pin weight but with a 6950 total dry weight of the 5er i would have to be transporting lead bars to reach maximum. bottom line if you can put up with the wide rear fenders and the reduced mpg of the 3500 that might be the way to g

connecting end of the hose. keeping that pressure on the tank while allowing the pump to bleed air out of the rest of it. when changing the fuel filter i would fill the cavity up with fuel before installing the new filter not sure it would be required but thought all the air that can be displaced in the system would be the best. i have around 10000 miles on it now and am completely satisfied thankful that a duromax was not available and ford dealer was un corporative. -- bill p. hello bill i am in the process of deciding on both a fiver rv and a tow vechicle. i want diesel probably a 3500 dually. i am curious - what transmission did you get in your ram and have you had any issues with it to date eisboch .
