state troopers are now pulling diesel trucks over for excessive noise. there looking for factory mufflers and resinators. cost me a big fine if i put a state sticker on, so now we have to reject state inspections for missing exhaust componets. this is texas state law..

I have a 2004 model two wheel drive. It pulls hard and I am pleased with the gas mileage. What I don't like is that the truck came with a tow package but does NOT have a limited slip differential or anti-spin as Dodge calls it. This has caused problems at the ramp. I checked into getting a locker rear and I can't find anyone that makes one for the 11.5 rear end. All that power going to just one wheel is nuts.

Yes, they build DPF Delete Kits that you can run, and would probably be alright, but it is illegal. If you were ever caught you'd have to pay a fine, but its highly unlikely you'd ever get caught. The only thing I am worried about with running a DPF delete kit on mine is voiding the waranty. Some dealerships care and some don't, just depends on your relationship with the dealership. I need my warranty, I'm skeerd
I didn't know if there was a sensor on the 6.7's or not, my LMM ecm reads milage and fuel used and will regen. I belive it regens between 325 and 450 miles. I'm not sure on the 6.7's, but it takes 3 gallons of fuel to regen an LMM
Ronnie, I was just wandering if you were running a 12v or 24v....if it was a 12v we could do some "fine tuning" on the fuel pump real cheap like... I know of DPF deletes that are 100% untraceable by ford or chevy. PM for some details

this is an american rear axle from the factory. this is a different type of anti-spin. you have to apply emergency brake slightly to engage full lock. if one wheel starts to spin the diff stays open not locked up. look in your oweners manual in the gloove box for further information...

I also have a "99, 4X4. I have the FASS HPFP, Smarty and 100 HP injectors and average 19/20 MPG. Original VP lasted 200K miles and the stock clutch (5spd) was replaced at 218K miles with a new South Bend. With the Ultra Low Sulpher Diesel we have now, I do add 16 oz of two cycle oil at fill up to give the VP the lubrication it needs. I don't tow a lot any more, but have towed a 26' TT and horse trailer for many miles. It now has 225K miles and I would drive it anywhere.

The 6.7 runs great I have never had trouble with them. Pulling heavy loads that motor will get it stock and I drive a lot of miles.

I love my 02 5.9 6spd. I haul and tow up here in Alaska. I love the dual wheels for stability while hauling, but hate them on the snow.

They say if you work them to death you will not have any problem with the regen system. I have a buddy hot shotting that hasn't had a lick of trouble out of his...

That's funny. A state trooper lives next to my gf...We drive almost identical trucks...his is louder than mine..and I'm running a straight from the turbo. I know he's got his straight piped too, I think he's 6" and mines 5".

as your aware of there are people above the law. how many times do you hear when law people get speeding tickets or get out of drinking while driving. i know my cousin is a retired state trooper and you should hear the stories about above the law.
