on tue 2 mar 2004 224519 -0600 trailblazer sundancekidz71@yahoo.com wrote hi all; looking for a good daily driver worktruck narrowed it down to either a super duty w/powerstroke or either new style or older style ram hd w/cummins or the ugly ass chevys with the duramax. i cut grass using a jd 855 so its not huge but id rather have too much truck than not enough. i prefer the reg cab so from yalls experience which one will last the longest im also too lazy to shift gears so itd be an auto. any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated thanks tb i have friends with both... more with cummins but some with power smoke... both sides like their trucks a lot and would buy the same thing again... same in the good sam forum... lots of dodge & ford diesel owners few chevy diesel drivers... imho both will last a long time with proper care... i think cummins has a better reputation... not especially a dodge thing a dodge just happens to be wrapped around the cummins.. mac .

ok so i found out that its just my luck that my 2003 durango is the only year that thule and yakima dont make roof racks for. i need to haul a canoe on top of my durango and im a bit leery of the cheap feel of the factory rack. it seems the whole thing is made of plastic and is held down by only four screws. i cant find much info on this on the net so im throwing it out there. questions for anyone who has an opinion 1 do you know of any decent aftermarket roof-rack that will hold a canoe mopar or otherwise for the 2003 durango and 2 do you consider the factory rack adequate to hold a canoe thanks do i consider the factory rack adequate not sure. i would go to the owners manual and see what it had to say if anything. ps question 3 is why does dodge put such a crappy rack on there i have been looking at other vehicles racks and they all seem to be better than mine. you are supposed to do your shopping before you buy... interesting concept thanks. -- fmb only one b in fmb .

first i want to thank all you guys for your advice and encouragement. i could not have done this without you. literally. in my case theres really not a down side. it works perfectly. note here im talking about the powertrax no-slip and not the powertrax lock-right. the no-slip releases the inside wheel during turns which eliminates the problems tire chirping jerking etc. associated with driving lockers on the street. when not turning however it locks up absolutely rock solid. most of the time i cant even tell its back there. it does sort of clunk a little bit more felt than heard sort of like a gear shifting when you accelerate out of a turn or from coasting but its really not noticeable. the fact that im using 75w-140 synthetic gear oil helps too. but its great. the inside tire quietly disengages in a turn and in straight lines it locks up steel-beam-solid with full power to both rear wheels. theres one place leaving my house where you stop at a stop sign going up a very steep slope. when its raining its almost impossible to move out of that stop without spinning a rear wheel fast enough to smoke the rubber. with this baby though my truck moved up that hill in a pouring rain like it was being pulled with an invisible cable. wonderful. i can hardly wait to try a little mud. i have heard of some people having problems with powertraxes or a lot of noise or whatever but they are in a small minority. of course youd feel it more if you slammed the gas pedal to the floorboard every time you went through a turn or something. but otherwise if its installed correctly it works. theres a 2-year warranty by the way and its approximately 3 times stronger than your rear axle itself. a couple of things. first its kinda scary installing it the first time especially if youve never been in a differential before. sometimes things dont line up the way theyre supposed to so you push and pull on stuff or do it over and then it works. you have to be a little creative because it doesnt always work exactly the way the instructions say. for example - i couldnt turn the case so the pinion shaft hole would line up. i had to lever a big screwdriver against the pinion gear teeth to turn it. - when replacing the bolts in the differential cover and the pinion shaft retaining bolt there is no mention of using loctite which is absolutely vital. - the final test where somebody holds one wheel and the other one rotates freely in the opposite direction didnt work right. the r wheel would disengage while somebody held the l wheel but not vice-versa. i could not disengage the l wheel. in a panic i called powertrax tech support and they were nonchalant they said it was just a stiff synchro ring no problem just drive it a while to break it in and loosen it up dont worry about it. - i had to remove the disk brake calipers so i could slide the axle in and out a few inches as is required. no big deal just two bolts holding on each caliper and then i hung it from the axle to keep the weight off the rubber hose. easy. but.... i had no idea that the brakes would close up after i took them off the rotor!!!!! the rotor was an inch thick but the brakes had closed up to about 1/2 an inch!!! what i did was get a 1/2 ratchet wrench then put a 12 socket extension on it. then i stuck the handle of the wrench between the brake pads and twisted it using the extension as a lever. it forced the pads far enough apart to get them back onto the rotor. it had me worried for a while there... -; since i went slowly it was my first time and i was being meticulously careful i spent two days on this. now though i could easily do it in less than an hour and most of that would be spent removing tires brakes the differential cover etc. the actual installation taking maybe 10 minutes. these arent designed in new cars because they can sometimes be tricky to drive especially on ice or snow. since most streets slope downwards to the outside on ice the outside wheel can pull you down to the curb if youre not careful. theres also the matter of occasional clunks and thunks which can bother some people. the limited slip which is standard on almost all so-called 4 by 4s isnt a locker. if one wheel is spinning it allows about 15%-20% power to go to the other wheel. thats all. they are expensive and have numerous parts to wear out and break. differentials are critical parts and must be reliable. working on a differential is not something youre going to do by the side of the road under a tire jack. trust me. the powertrax no-slip releases the inside wheel during turns but in a straight line it locks up solid with full 100% power going to both wheel spinning or not. thats why they call it a locker. there is no slipping of any kind within the system. the standard open differential is simple cheap quiet lasts forever and theyre what most people are used to. so thats w
