So I finally got my Ranch Hand style bumper done on my 5500. Wouldn’t mind selling the 4 year old factory front bumper. It’s in very good condition Any idea of selling value?

It would be a sort of fantasy project, but I see my PTO just sittin there unused. I’d like to have a winch bumper & winch. Bumper is available. Wondered about a winch running off the PTO? Would use the PTO to power a pump, then the pump pull hydraulic fluid from a reservoir to power the winch...

They paid me very quickly for my rental truck. I lost a hub bearing about a year ago. Part was on back order for 3 weeks and although it was really aggravating, they were good to me.

Hey thanks for the insult. I own one of those trucks. :oops: But anyway, the touchpad is all I am referring to. It won’t make the truck any faster or slower, but it gets rid of the 1950’s automatic transmission stall.

I’d like a touchpad like the Allison transmission type in my IH7500 4x4. Really dislike the 1950’s transmission “stalk”. Far outlived it’s usefulness.

OK, thanks. I think I remember my Duramax 3500 having one when trailer plugged in I swore my GN has a light on when plugged in…..oh well. That’s kind of a relief. I thought something was broke.

Yes it has brakes on one axle. They respond to both the manual and service brakes. No trailer icon on dash when plugged-in. But warning light comes on when plug is pulled out. Other information: trailer sat outside a while and battery was DOA when I bought it. Wonder if theres a rusted ground...

Anyone know why I might have a power steering type whine/buzz all the time since pump replacement?

Do you have a small trailer icon on your dash with trailer hooked up? I could go hook up my GN to find out, but it’s 10 miles away and much easier to ask another Ram owner

You are talking about checking the wiring ground to the trailers chassis for rust/corrosion?

Sorry if it’s been beaten to death: What’s a CP 3.3? Better? Worse?

Bought a light duty 20’ bumper pull trailer for mowers & ATV’s yesterday. At dealer, trailer battery was dead. Dealer stole a battery from trailer next to it. We verified with a tester it was healthy. Drove 90 miles home. Now I’m pretty sure when my big gooseneck is hooked up, there’s a little...

Hope I’m in the right thread. Got my pump replaced 2 weeks ago. Here’s what I have noticed: Truck has slightly longer crank time. Used to fire over in 1/4 second. Now it’s like 2-3X that. Noticeable whine-like power steering pump line “buzzing”. Were we given CP-3 pumps?

One of the guys at the local diesel shop told me today’s common rail diesel injector tolerances are so tight, that if you draw a line on a plunger with a sharpie marker, it will be tough to fit the plunger back in. As was said before, the injector holes are miniscule

Man I’d a thought this thread would have exploded with traffic with this announcement?
