May want to consider a gas...take a look at his fuel economy tests. No those weren't towing but I still don't think the modern diesel is better for operating costs if you do "normal or less" miles per year. Screenshot_20251105_071141_YouTube.jpg ...

Re: 99 Ram: Fuel tank fell off

This went more or less according to plan.

The strap used to be held by some metal at the base of this crossmember. Now there is just a hole.

There are better videos to explain why the "Allison" 10A is problematic but this is the latest related info. Dealers must sell all Allison branded inventory by June 29, 2026, after which, they must REMOVE the Allison branding/badging. I don't think ...

Re: 3/4 Ton Pickup Upgrade

I think we've needed a correction for years now. Not sure we have the conditions where it will finally be right after you make a large purchase. If anything I thought the market was stabilizing.

Re: Furnace stuff

My Testo 310 has error 4 which means the O2 sensor module has expired. Rather than try to find a new module (they are no longer in production), the internet says I can still measure CO but I'm not sure about CO2. So this sucks.
I believe the part number I need is 0390 0285

So rare.

I guess a high mileage 2019 ish would probably be fairly easy miles, and if the vehicle looks clean and well taken care of, that's also a good sign.

Re: 3/4 Ton Pickup Upgrade

Re: 3/4 Ton Pickup Upgrade

L5P is going to be your best bet I believe. I thought that was 2019+. EDIT: I guess it's 17+.

Is there no (aftermarket) post pump filtration system that saves the fuel system from such an event?

There is a "fuel system saver" thingy but I don't see one for the L5P. Some CP3 conversion kits require ...

Re: 99 Ram: Lower control arm rusting

I randomly discovered a clunk in the suspension. I bounced the front end and after a certain amplitude of motion the clunk was repeating and I traced it to the right side shock. Initially I thought the shock had failed internally due to the noise and clunk I could feel when I grabbed the body of the ...
