    Diesel exhaust system component theft

    One of the local towns here had a bus yard which had over half the busses missing their filters one morning. But then again this is Canada for ya.

    When to use 4x4 mode?

    I find driving carefully in 2wd until the wheels begin to slip then reversing and putting it in 4H and taking a run at it can work wonders. I drove a 3500HD chev for three years in the Ag tire industry doing calls out in muddy fields and the like. It's amazing what 4wd and good tires can do to a...

    Can someone help me figure out why in the hell this would happen?

    Excessive weight immediately after installing aluminum wheels can definitely work them loose, I good idea to retorque in the next 50 to 100k.

    Getting rid of the front end hop while towing

    A vehicle always rides better with the nose lower than the rear, weight or no weight, the only way for you to shift your weight is on the trailer, or I have cut the hitch off already and drilled a new pin hole to shorten it. Gets the trailer hitch almost touching the bumper.

    Which winter tire? (for Quebec winters)

    Yes Toyo makes a very good tire as well. Better on ice maybe not so good in deep snow.

    Which winter tire? (for Quebec winters)

    Have you priced Bridgestone blizzax, I worked at an OK Tire for a number of years and these were the best. Both for traction in snow and for the length of time they had good traction in snow. A good winter tire should be soft and plyable after 4 or 5 years whereas a cheaper one may begin to...

    Getting rid of the front end hop while towing

    I agree with the weight distribution as being the most likely issue, or overweight on the hitch. I'd try getting the front of your trailer up just a little bit and move your machine back. I had the same issue on my 1500 and installed air bags simply to get the back end up higher. Don't know if...

    With rates so high…lease or purchase?

    Buying a vehicle is dead expense, it will never come back. Your 9k will go a long way in fixing your Durango if you have a reasonable mechanic. The other option is trade it down for a slightly older pickup or newer with high miles. Just what I would do

    I had the same issues with my CV shafts and drive shaft. Turned out my engine mount bolts had come loose which also holds the 4wd carrier. I was running a 4inch lift as well

    Glow Plugs and Electric Vacuum Pump

    The glow plug wiring harness may be at fault, check the connections on the glow plugs and if any of the clips/plugs are broken that may be your issue.

    Lifting a 2022 EcoDiesel

    I have a 2015 ecodiesel, took a 4 inch lift out 2 years ago. It had a 1 inch spacer mounted on the end of shaft I remember, can't recall any shaft vibration until it went bad on me. Make sure your engine mount bolts are tight, that's what messed my shaft.

    2020 EcoDiesel possible head gasket or what else ? ? ?

    I agree with getting a diesel shop to check it out. My guess would be that it's a cracked oil cooler that is pressurizing the coolant.
