fenceTechs · 05-04-2009, 05:49 PM

I need all the help on this truck I can get, here is a list of a few items that is causing me problems, water pumps, cummins is real small, front and rear brake pads, about every 34K miles replace pads , rear, axle seal now just started leaking, cig lighter and accessory lighter, blown, fans switch 3 speed only now. govoner sensor replaced 2 times under warrenty by stealaship, and 1 by me, 225.00 a pop. best thing is I get 24-26mph towing about 7500 pounds of equipment with trailer brakes. Oh yea any body need a 05 dulley dodge bed, white, new take off, 750.00 paid 1350 for it, decided to put a flat bed on trk.

all that can mean only 2 things. someone is rough on the truck or you got a real lemon. did you buy this new??

are you continually replacing the water pumps?

the brakes do not surprise me. dodges tend to eat up the brakes if you tow a lot...

I use the trk no abuse it, I own and run 3 business and it gets plenty of towing and road miles, heck even the dealers can not figure out the problem with the brakes.

not rough on I drive it hard, but no jack rabbit starts, no wait I needed to stop here either, cost way to much in brakes and trans. yea new when i got it.

I get over 200k on rear brakes I set my trailer brakes to enguage before truck and I use them instead of my truck. I have 07 now with 244k and I just replaced front. I am replacing water pumps every 200k on the 5.9 motors. So far no failures on the 6.7. Are you guys having problems with rt. wheel bearings?

Why do you have to repalce the water pumps, what are the issues with the pumps? / I think I have a pump going bad, it is squeaking.
