    Loud Noise on Startup

    Okay... I left off after page ten, but will go back and read later. I'm at work now. Can't read all day. I also have a noise at cold startup. It's not just one clank. It's usually a random series of noises. More like loud clicks. To me, it sounds like the starter gear is not retracting...

    DT Service Manual

    ...and it just showed up, today. And it's still the wrong effing content. Still for the "DS" truck. I am beyond pissed. Sent an email (a very polite one, actually) to the address posted above. Maybe, by some stretch of luck, it will go to someone who actually can fix this, and not the...

    New FlowMaster fx install

    I keep reading about the muffler, and keep procrastinating. Maybe I'll have to jump... Thanks for the info.

    DT Service Manual

    Thank you for that update. I am still waiting for mine. They told me that they understood the problem, and were going to send me a new one. Of course, they couldn't give me an order number, and knew absolutely nothing else about it. But they are going to send me a new one. :rolleyes:

    DT Service Manual

    Don't forget... "For hire" generic call center. The people on the phone are NOT FCA. (Just MHO, of course.) Does anyone have the email address from your return packing list/return label? THAT may actually work.

    DT Service Manual

    I thought about that. Tom pretty much echoes my sentiments, at this point. :D

    DT Service Manual

    Something additional... "Tech Authority" may not be Tech Authority at all. It may be a "for hire" telemarketing/call center. Which would explain a lot of the "air-headedness". Read on... I have an ancient landline, and receive an annoying number of telemarketer calls. If I'm at home, and...

    DT Service Manual

    Well? I finally got an RA number. Said that they had already attempted one pickup. (Before I even got the RA number. Go figure.) Said they're not going to send me a replacement until they have my original one in hand. They really don't seem to mind that they've had ~$130 of my money tied up for...

    Limited - how to disable seat belt warning

    Ever since I had a seatbelt to stop me from face-planting a dashboard, I haven't driven on the road without one. (That was ~40 years ago.) With that said... Last week we were driving across a pasture, doing a maximum of ~5 mph, adding trash to our brush pile, and the d@mn seat belt chime was a...

    I Gotta be careful on this forum!

    Forums remind me of when I worked in a shop repairing electronic equipment. I got a poor view of many of our products because all we ever saw were the broken ones. Since we were a repair shop, we never heard about the units that chugged happily along and worked properly. With that said... I've...

    DT Service Manual

    Good luck with that. I've talked with them several times. They said it is "escalated to their help desk". Whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. I told them that if they didn't hurry up and make it right, that I was going to just charge back my credit card and be done with them. But I...

    20" to 18" tire swap

    I swapped from the stock 18s to the cladded 20s. Based Upon the GPS that is built into Waze, my speedo is well within spec. Yours should be the same.

    Experience with SD Wheels?

    This is why I buy everything with a credit card, and even Paypal if possible. Very easy to stop/reverse charges for no delivery of goods.

    DT Service Manual

    It does. Everything looks as I would have expected, until I started poking around in the files. ("Wait... That looks like a "Classic" grill... That doesn't look like my exhaust... That doesn't look like my cluster or center stack..." Blah, blah, blah... ) Thanks for the offer. I'm not in a...

    Anyone with the DT Field Service Manual, in search of wiring diagram

    I would certainly like a manual, too. I think they are not available yet. (I hope I'm wrong.)

    DT Service Manual

    Annnd five days later I get my USB-credit-card-looking-thing. Label says 81-370-19074-SUSB. When I jump through the hoops and get it to open on my computer, it's for the DS truck. :mad: Called Techauthority. "We'll launch an investigation, and get back with you within two business days." I'm...

    Question about auto-dimming mirrors

    Okay. Mine (Bighorn Sport) dim on all but the passenger side. So I guess that's normal. Seems like a "cheap-out", but yeah...

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    No big. I wasn't having a great day, so please disregard anything I said that was "out of line". My entire point being that running the cheap stuff will likely cause a slight to moderate performance penalty when the engine is pushed hard, but also will likely not damage anything. Hence the...
