You could always buy a Ford EcoBoom!

Lol. Looked like a plastic bed

They were using a 3 liter v6 diesel in jeeps .

They are stating the 6 cylinder diesel has the same power as the gasser. 🤷‍♂️

Nah. It's all good. So weird. Years ago there were several straight 6 motors. They all seemed to move away from them to V6s. Can't figure all this stuff out even with instructions.

You were hoping for the 6.6l Duramax?

Welcome to the forum! @toad

TY. I'm basically Dodge Cummins illiterate. VP44s any good?

The 1999 Cummins has a VP44?

I was told to look on block for 53 which was the bad block. 5 and 55 were better. Only 109k on it. It has DRW with a stake body.

Lol. More mechanical, less electronic. I hate electronics on stuff. To hard for me to fix and diagnose.

I had a case of shingles a while back. It was on my face and head. Followed a nerve. Very painful and annoying. Hope you feel better soon Mike. Hope you get your truck running soon too. I'm thinking of taking a step backwards and buying a 1999 Dodge 24v Cummins with a 5 speed manual.

Thank you Ferman. I will check tomorrow.

Every once in a while 1 slips through somehow. I know I usually kill 15 or more a day before they ever get on the forum. I'm sure the others do the same. These spammers are relentless!!!

Ahh. Ok. I will check that. I think I will just change the drive shaft U-Joints first, then test ride to see if noise is still there. If noise is still present I'll change out CV joints. This salt brine in winter has just completely killed my truck. What a shame.

I've done the hubs a couple times already. I never knew there was a grease fitting??? I wonder if I missed them?

Do you have to pull the hubs Mike? Were you getting a noise? How can you tell they need replacement?

I am just curious to hear if anyone with a 2500 HD around 2006 model year has had to change CV joints yet? I have a whoop whoop noise going in. Just trying to determine whether to change Front drive shaft universal joints, which seem to be fine, or change out the CV joints. Seems to be coming...

Well that sucks...
