97 Dodge Ram 2500, AKA Shitty Dodge

All I can say is try to avoid using the service brake as much as possible especially when towing cuz the brake fade is terrifying when you NEED it. I experienced it once before I got in the really steep part and luckily I got it before it get out of control. IMO the going up is the easier part, at least for my truck.

Mechanical bulls, eh?

Down is always the hard part. You don't see runaway truck ramps on the climb, do you? Nuff said

I cant find any v band clamp or the o-ring at D&W Diesel and can't find anything online that I can get it locally without going to dealer (Dodge nor Cummins).

Anyone know where I can get new v-band clamp and the 0-ring at the turbo's compressor outlet? it leaks bad where the "elbow" mates to the turbo's compressor outlet.

I get my Cummins parts at Regional International... Genuine for the win.

I might have that V-band clamp, but definitely no oring. Not sure if that's the clamp, either. Turbo is gone so I can't compare. I just think I remember seeing one around the garage.

i think it's a 2.5" clamp

fyi my phone is trashed so contact me through here or PM, thanks!

I got the turbo's compressor outlet sealed.

Found a leak in my intercooler after I fixed the massive leak. I wonder how long JB weld will last on the intercooler? I think it won't hurt to try, however I don't want to do this if it's fixable at some radiator/cooler shop.

[mr.mindless]

found my maybe right clamp if you need it.


JB may hold if you can get it slobbered on there an through the hole well and a good clean surface for adhesion on both sides. My old intercooler is gone.

Soon as I leave the house, I'm unreachable! haha

I couldn't find the place and for some reason the interpreter on relay I used to call him told me 520. I came back home and call him again and double check on address and it's actually 1520. The "1" was left out. Stupid but I got the oil, all good now. 

PMing you my email address for any future contact needs.
