    6.7 Cummins ECM Fried

    Was in Moab for the second half of EJS. Towing through town and my 2007.5 Dodge 3500 with the 6.7 Cummins sputtered and died. Couldn’t get it to even try to start afterwards. Plugged in my Smarty tuner to see if I could pull a code and it couldn’t connect to the truck. I also tried the “key on...

    5.9 Cummins Longevity

    As you may have seen in my other thread, my current SRW 3rd gen Dodge isn’t working out for me, and I’m looking to go to a dually. I want to stick with a 3rd gen Dodge. In looking around, it seems that I’m coming across a few in the 300k+ mileage range. I found one of particular interest with...

    Dodge 3500 - Advice Needed!

    I recent bought a 2005 Dodge 3500 for my DD/tow vehicle and hadn’t even considered that I’d have an issue with payload - WRONG!!! This thing is only rated for a measly 2830 pounds payload.

    Garage Floor Protection/Mats

    We are preparing to move and the rental we are going into is a brand new build. As such, the garage floor is spotless, and any stains, damage, etc. will obviously be my fault. So…I’m looking into non-permanent garage floor protection. So far, I’m just thinking about some rubber mats. Home Depot...

    Ratcheting Wrenches

    My old Stanley ratcheting wrenches are failing after several years. I believe I bought these when Stanley was still somewhat respectable. Now I’m looking for a new set, and it looks like Gearwrench is a common choice, but I see mixed reviews on longevity. I don’t use them daily in a shop, but I...

    Passing of Ber Knight

    Thought it would be fitting to share the news of Ber Knight’s passing with the group, as I’m sure many of you have memories with him. I’m hoping that I don’t step on the toes of @GER4x4 or @drtsqrl with this post. If they want to do this differently, please feel free to delete this. I received...

    “Cheater” 3 seat buggy build/assembly

    General Tech Degreaser - how would you clean this?

    My recently pulled transmission looks like this. In the past, nothing has really provided a good result without a ton of time/effort. Gasoline has always been effective, although I know it’s frowned upon to use as a cleaning agent. How would you go about cleaning this? Favorite...
