| 2004 Dodge 3500 My bulldog is causing my truck to blow steady black smoke in the towhall mode.Has anyone else had this happin thanks Fred92 | |
I own an 07' 2500 w/the 5.9L & 6 speed manual trans, 88k miles...bought it new-love the truck. This just started the last two weeks, that when the jake brake is on, it cuts in and out by itself. It seems to be worse in 6th. Dealer says its a failing vacuum pump--not covered by cummins warrantee, they want $1100 to replace it. Does this sound right? This is my first cummins, when the jake brake is on it sounds like there is an air leak...always has, is that normal?

| I have a 95' ram 2500 with the 5.9L cummins. The truck runs great but seems to be sluggish and shifts at about 1800 rpm. The truck will only go about 65mph top speed. Now i have it geared low with the 4.10 but any ideas why its so slow, also feels it real bad when i tow something with it. Great truck, about 150,000 miles. Any ideas? | |
| Hello all.Long time member on the jeep forum.Traded in 05 liberty diesel for 06 ram 2500 quad cab 2whl drv.got the truck for pulling my travel trailer(7000 lbs).Most r.v.er's like the cummins and what I hear is the engine is good.I learned a lot from the little diesel,great machinedidn't want to give it up but got a smokin deal on trade.I hear the tranny is the weak link on these trucks.Can anyone elaborate on any issues and fixes reference this.I'm not hauling long distance yet but will probably put a lot of time and money into tranny before I do.So far the truck is great,lookin forward to some fun and future mods... | |

I resently had the injectors changed on my 2006 dodge cummins 2500 at 54,000 miles by the dealership, while in the shop they also did a program update. The problem is before I took it in my trip odometer never showed below 17mpg intown and hwy was 21-25mpg. The day after I got it back my trip odometer dropped to 14-16 hwy and 12-13 intown. I took it back to the dealership after I put 2000 miles on it and told them what was happening I initially thought it was the wrong injectors or they fowled my computer up, but the dealership insists there is nothing wrong that I do need a valve adjustment the vehicle now has 59,000 miles and still getting at best 16mpg hwy. What has happened to the truck I used to own? Did the dealership do something wrong?

Has anyone had a problem with a turn signal failure for the trailer hook up? I lost my left turn signal for the trailer. The wire from the fuse box to the plug on the rear bumper is fine. The problem is someplace in the fuse box. According to the wiring diagram there are relay's for each side (one for left signal and one for the right) in the fuse box. Also there is a silver box appx 4" X 6" and about 2" thick on the end of the fuse box that the turn signal runs through. I can't figure it out and was hoping someone out there has dealt with this before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Lonnie

Replying to: pete93 (Aug 03, 2009 8:06 am) I love the truck but after a new vacuum pump, turbo, egr, and multiple flash updates I am getting a little tired of seeing my dealer. |

Hi, I have a 04.5 4x4 5.9L 6 speed manual 3500 all stock. I had got it new and it now has 43,000ml. In the last 3 yr I haven't dove it a lot, I mainly drive it on long trips and a round town. My question is what is the normal running temp suppose to be? It looks like its running a bit hot lately, at 65 and 70 it use to run at 195, now its at 200 on flat roads not pulling anything and nothing in the bed. when I climb hills it would go up to 200 now it go's to 203. could there be something happening to make it run hotter now? less power and making the turbo run more? The only thing been done to it is change the oil every 3,000ml and have change the air filter with stock and fuel filter 5 month ago. sometimes I don't drive it for like 3 or 4 weeks. Could it be a injector? I think I do feel a little vibration but was thinking it normal. All this just started 4 month ago. Thanks for any help.
