No more P0087 for me I solved the problem this morning.

Please don't say you traded it in....

What was the fix?

On edit...pics weren't up yet. Congrats on the new ride.

Its an 07 that was hard to find, 6 speed manual and a pre emission 5.9. Dealer did a 14 hour road trip to get it for me, so far its nice. I just have to get used to driving a stick again:rolleyes:.

Be interesting to hear about how the two compare!!....sorry to see you get out of your d-max, but congrats on your new truck.

Say it aint so man....:( Well good luck to ya anyway!:p: That cummins is a great engine so mechanically you should be ok, Dont be too hard on your old girl, she did take ya 280,000! that's pretty damn good! BTW, are those dually rear fendres bushwacker flairs?:p:

Nice truck!

Please post pictures of the back seat, i want to see what this mega cab stuff is all about.

Dang thats to bad you had to dump the dmax intead of fixing it. but good the with the cumapart:D

Sorry to see you go to Dodge. But I have a fealin' you will be back in a real truck again.

Cold beer offer still goes if you make it back to south Texas.

Later Tom

Sorry to hear that you had to replace the D'max. Would've been good to find out what the root cause of the problem was. I can understand your predicament, though. You can't make any money with the truck in the shop.

Did you keep the LBZ or did you trade it in?

Good luck with your new ride! I'm sure you're going to work it hard. :)

Keep us posted on how the new Cummins behaves for you.

personally i would have tried to get it lemon lawed but at least you got a stick cummins, only way to buy a dodge dude good luck keep us updated on that tractor of a dually:D serious mods in your near future i hope:D

Are you serious? :rolleyes: No way you can get it "Lemon Lawed" with 280,000+ miles on the truck.

nice truck there Haulin-RV....I was looking at a guys Dodge mega-cab at a truck stop the other day, I love the extra room in the back.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the Duramax....

Good luck, I know how frsutrated you mst have been ,a nd dont let anyone give you any stuff for running a dodge. They ahve a great power train and cabs, paint etc have come a very long way from the old ones. Good luck, I would be very curious as to waht milage yoru getting w/the cummins vs d max same loads (or similar) similar routes. Dont be a stranger around here. Curious if you traded it (if not you sold it very quick). What Dodge dealer did you use out of curiosity?

Been watchin your post cause I've got about the same prob. I haul rv's too and under load I get heavy black smoke, low power, then comes the p0087 and limp. I got a Edge to monitor the eng and saw a dif between comand and actual rail press. I shimmed the frpr valve and the press is better but stil have the problem. I ordered a lift pump and will try that next. I have 190,000 mi and this is the only real prob with the truck. I would like to keep it, it's been good until this prob.
Question, can you haul fifth wheel with that short bed? We are required to have a 8ft bed with our company. I have also considered a Dodge
but that Cummins is so loud. This is my 2nd Duramax. Good luck with your new truck.




















question,

Be interesting to hear about how the two compare!!....sorry to see you get out of your d-max, but congrats on your new truck.

What are you talking about there is no comparison :chevy: . Congrats on finding the manual though.

Probably got tired of looking at the same truck also , Good luck with the Dodge !

Question, can you haul fifth wheel with that short bed? We are required to have a 8ft bed with our company.
I was wondering the same thing. According to the Dodge web site, the Mega Cab is only available with a 6 ft 4.3 in bed. Is that going to pose a problem hauling a 5th wheel trailer?

slider hitch..

Why did you want to go to a stick? I know dodge has a reputation for bad auto's but maybe the newer auto's are better now.:rolleyes: I just cant imagine going back to a three pedal after using the Allison.:D Keep us posted on how that dodge treats ya. I know from personal experience on a 01 dodge cummins it ran me in the hole, but that might of been my luck. Either way the old lady wont let me buy another DODGE cause she dont want to pay the repair bill every year.:p::whip:

slider hitch..
True, but every transport company I've checked frowns on using sliders on short bed trucks.

I'm sure he must have this figured out, though.

The new 6-speed auto is only available on the cab & chassis and then, only with the new 6.7 L Cummins that has all the new DPF emission crap.

Wow, I hope it runs good for ya. Don't be a stranger!!!
Fenders sure look different.

To answer a few questions, the company I haul for allows slider hitches plus all the new Jayco's (thats all I haul) 5er's except for the triple axle toy hauler (which I don't haul) have the front cap designed for short beds so no issue there. As far as going back to a stick, well its going to take some getting use to, the Allison was the best but since I wanted a pre emission truck my only options were six speed manual or 4 speed auto. This will be my 8th Dodge with a Cummins, so I am pretty comfortable with my choice. So far this is my opinion, truck rides as good as the Chevy, interior room is superior (duh), interior noise is about the same, and I got 17" wheels this time. I will post how it tows after I tow the first load next week.

You are in the WRONG FORUM....can you say ....D U R A M A X??

The Dodge forum is over there------------------------------------------>

haulin-rv I'll keep a look out for you ,,we live near kalida ,oh you deliver to fortmans I'm sure before.hope to see you.

Been here long before you and likely put more miles on a dmax than you ever will:p:. By the way I did not start this thread, the first post was a response I made in the thread I started about a P0087 problem I had. The moderators felt that it needed to be moved and started this thread.

I wish you the best!

As said before do not be a stranger . wish you the best .

Good luck with the Dodge. I bought an '06 Mega Cab 5 months ago and I can't wait to get into another GM!!! The seats suck, the driveline shudders even while unloaded, the A/C is cool at best and the truck has so much TM that it won't even move my 5'er in moderate sand. The cab is what I will miss though.....

LBZ, here I come!!!!

Please disregard this message and dont be a stranger. Somone said cummins are loud, no not really. The old 12 valves, 24 valves yeah, these new (since 03 for dodge) common rails have multiple inectror "pusles" and takes lots of diesel rap out of them

Sorry to here that, I have had 7 Dodges with Cummins diesels and they were all monsters as far as towing. BTW whats TM? As far as the the driveline shudders thats why I went 6 speed manual.

T orque M anagment. The computers way of babysitting or governing your power so you wont hurt the drivetrain.

No more P0087 for me I solved the problem this morning.

Hmmm we should have traded.
I traded my 2 dodges for 2 silverado,s.

Wish ya good luck with the Dodge. Main thing is to get out and keep making a living. :D

Haulin wish u the best of luck with the dodge. Lucky u didnt get a ford though we have to shoot u.:D

P0087...wasn't there a issue with the left fuel rail??, I know it was mentioned here somewhere as well.....

Congratulation on your new ride.
Damn nice looking truck,hope you get good service out of it.
We all need a change some times in life.

you thought I had a hard time working on your P0087 code....?

You should see me do Cummins..whoa!

LOL, congrats on the new truck Karl, sharp looking unit

Let us know how it works out. I've been waiting for the 4500 Dodge but am a bit scared of the 6.7 CTD. But I'd more loyal to driving a 6spd than a GM :o: .
Congrats.

If you don't mind talking about it, what kind of money is an 06 dually with 287,000 + miles worth on trade in??

I hope you enjoy the new Dodge. I was hoping you'd find the problem with the Dmax and run it up to 500,000 or more.

Please do come back once in a while and let us know how its going.

I hate to say it, but I'm ready to try a damn Dodge as well. I'm getting nowhere in a hurry with my LLY overheating issue, and my last two GMs have been plagued with problems...

My dad bought a 6.7 last week, and it's leaps and bounds ahead of the old Dodges as far as handling and interior.

I can't get excited about jammin' gears again, but I'm also going with a 5.9/6 speed if I make the swap.

Ya know... so far my truck has only gone to the dealer for LOF. So far, trouble free. Too early to tell for me, but so far the Dodge is doing well.

How are EGTs while pulling heavy with the '07 5.9s? Is there enough turbo to handle a little extra fueling over the stock tune and still keep EGTs in check?

As long as the tune has sufficient timing to support the fuel.

Funny thing is, the SMARTY actually runs cooler than stock programming in level 1. Harness boxes seem to run a little warmer.

As far as turbos go, it's pretty pathetic. The good news is that bolt ons are simple.

Haulin Rv. Congrats on the new ride...verrrry nice.!

Might you have left a note to the new owner of your old LBZ...asking him to come over here and let us know what the issue finally was. ?? I would bet that there would be many here still curious to know what caused that particular issue with your D,max.

Still 280K = ~450,000 km. I can handle that.!

As has been mentioned previously...stay in touch from time to time.

Rgds,

stk

No more P0087 for me I solved the problem this morning.
wise choice,as you already know.

Congrats man.. Keep us posted and let us know how things go...

280,000 on a '06? WOW!! Cant imagine putting that much mileage on a truck in so little time w/o it having 18 wheels.

Good luck with the truck. Nice to see the Dodges getting better looking.

Just out of curiosity, when did your p0087 start? I would like to know when to expect this situation as I haul some pretty good loads. I think if I encounter this problem too often, I'll put a Cummins in my GMC before I put a Dodge under my ass:D Good Luck!

Congrats on the truck, I'd love to hear what you think hauling with it.
I wish you the best with it and don't be a stranger here!

Just wanted to say congrats on the new ride. I was siriously concidering a Dodge before I purchased my LMM. Hope it works out for you and wish you the best with it. It could have been worse but at least you didn't puchase a Ford.

congrats. nice truck

keep your sig updated with the miles you get on that goat, it'll be fun to see how it compares to the duramax

Man the rear fenders on that thing are fugly....:eek:

Its a good thing you are making $ with that thing and not putting it in a parade.. lol

Good luck with the goat....

Sorry but I have to agree.

I had the opportunity this weekend to walk around see up close a mega cab dually. The fenders are just fugly and the six foot bed on a dually just looks very very odd and out of place.

Truck was quiet running

Wish you the best of luck. Dont be a stranger :)

Is kinda ugly but having an issue with a truck and it being down and costing you $ sucks the big one and is a bit more important.

Good luck with it. Keep all of us posted on the reliability and performance of the Ram.

L kinda like the new Dudges!:eek:
Good luck with the new ride!

Yeh Bro, dont be a stranger!

I guess since I had a few first generation Dodges, that may be why like the look. If you want to talk about ugly lets throw the new Chevy in the mix:p:. I looked at one before I bought this one and other than not wanting the DPF, they are just plain ugly, I also stopped and looked at the GMC and its not bad.

soo... mileage any better then the GMs the first few days you've got it? I hear they're about the same with all the models...

soo... mileage any better then the GMs the first few days you've got it? I hear they're about the same with all the models...

I'm sure he can tell us by know how the mileage is. He probably has 30k on it already. LOL

Wow, leave for a week, then all of this...:eek: :D

Good luck with your new purchase...:cool:

I'm sure he can tell us by know how the mileage is. He probably has 30k on it already. LOL

Have not pulled anything yet, only has 600 miles on it so far. Around town so far it was 16.3 mpg.

Really sucks you had problems with your chevy. But that mega cab dodge with the stick is the one other truck I would own. AND I like the rear fenders:D

Like everyone else said, keep us updated on how the dodge is working out.

Good luck with the new truck, IF this truck ever gives me big headaches, I might consider a Goat.........Might.

Keep us posted to how it goes for you, with only 280K on the last one, you traded it in alittle early?

Reliability in his business is #1. Was real glad to have "Haulin-RV" around and wish him the best.

I agree would be curious as to the problem would pry always make me wonder, still wonder whate vever became of my lemon

I agree would be curious as to the problem would pry always make me wonder, still wonder whate vever became of my lemon

Post up the VIN# and let everyone know that is looking for a reg cab to run away.

Are you serious? :rolleyes: No way you can get it "Lemon Lawed" with 280,000+ miles on the truck.

woops hahahaahahaha didnt notice the mileage sry haha:duh:

Cummins part... OK
Not to sure about the dodge
Just a little constructive criticism!!!
Cranker UP And Enjoy it!

Well I have just short of 2000 miles on it. So here is the comparison.

The Silverado has a bunch more bells and whistles. I miss the dic with the steering wheel controls, the climate control, and the way the remotes work(I used to leave it running and lock the doors with the other remote, Dodge does not allow that).

The Mega cab is by far a much larger cab, its wider too. The interior comfort is good, the center console is much larger, the extra storage under the center front seat is a nice touch.

Now the important stuff, as far as ride I would say they are comparable. I really could not say that one is by far better or worse than the other. Towing, the 6 speed manual and the Cummins is great. Many of the hills I went up and never downshifted with the Cummins, would have caused the Allison to drop a gear. Power wise when towing the Cummins does seem to have a bit more grunt, but the Duramax was no slouch. Unloaded the Duramax was a fun truck to drive and as far as just hammering around town it is the best. The Cummins with a 6 speed does just fine but the Allison just made it easier. So in the end for a hard working tow rig I like the manual trans and the Cummins, but for the everyday driver the Allison/Duramax combo is hard to beat.

Fuel economy. Now the Cummins is far from broken in, but I have pulled the same loads with the dmax to the same place and the Cummins is about 10-12% better on fuel loaded and its not broken in. Unloaded running about 70 I got about 1 mpg better than the the dmax did.

So there you have my review of the two trucks.

Now you just have to update your garage with pics of the new rig;)

Nice review, thanks Haulin! Im glad you like the goat, I think it'll work out well for ya.

So there you have my review of the two trucks.Wow-over 10% better-with the miles you run, that would sure help pay for the new truck! I run an '02 CTD 3/4 ton 4X4 6 spd. manual myself, I've said for years that nothing outworks a Cummins, it'll be interesting to see how fast you get to 500K with that one! If I could justify the $$$, I'd have a Mega Cab myself-you could have a party in that back seat!!

Made up a new mattress for the back of the new truck, I can completely stretch out!!

Just curious... what Kind of RPMs are you taching at various speeds... 60 / 70 mph. Im just wondering if it feels better because it's in the power band. I know when i put the Alli in 5 its more gutsy but I dont want to leave it there (dont ask me why... It just eats at me i have another gear when I do that... lol)

Congrats, on the new ride! (Atleast it wasn't a FORD)


My dads Company just bought 3 new MegaCabs, Love the interior room!

We haven't had them long enough to compare to our D-Max's, but I can say that the new Dodge's are VERY QUIET compared to the old one's, can't hardly tell they're running. We plan on pulling 5ver's w/ our's as well, and I imagine its gonna be a tight squeeze doing it, but if the dodge's can't get it done we kept the D-max's so we are still in good shape!!:D

I like everything about my buddies new Dodge except for the seats. Compared to the GM After an hour his seat felt like a park bench. Other than that, it's a very nice truck. Good luck, I hope the new ride treats you well.

But without the integral seat belts an easy fix, I wanted to change out the seats in my LBZ and the replacements in the aftermarket are hard to find. I found one set, but they were like $1500! I plan on changing out hte ones in the Dodge for some captains chairs (surplus rv) and can get some really nice ones for $400 pair.

I wonder who will take over for Haulin rv's absence? I believe he was the leader in miles. Haulin, keep us all posted on the performance, and good luck! Someone has to step up for the mileage leader.

Sorry to hear that you got rid of the LBZ. But congrats on the new ride, I hope it serves you well. Don't be a stranger. BTW, will your Rockstars fit this truck?

Compared to the GM After an hour his seat felt like a park bench. Other than that, it's a very nice truck.

I'll have to agree on that. I had an '05 Dak that had "buckets", 6 way and heated...they sucked.! The material they used was absoultely the worst material I have ever seen for truck seat material...just look at it sideways and it's stained.

But I will say this, I put 85,000 miles on it in 2 years and other than the brakes (duh.. it's a Dodge), I had no other issues at all. Mileage was pretty good too for a 4.7L V8 gasser....a bit skittish in the rear too when uloaded.

Still if I had to, Dodge with a 5.9 would be the only other choice.

rgds,

stk

Good luck with the Dodge.

I looked long and hard at the 07 Dodge / 5.9 Cummins offering before I bought. I didn't like the seats in the Dodge and the back seat was small in the quad cab compared to the GM crew cab, I didn't want the length of a Mega Cab, other than that I thought the Dodge was a comparable product to the GM.

Sorry to hear that you got rid of the LBZ. But congrats on the new ride, I hope it serves you well. Don't be a stranger. BTW, will your Rockstars fit this truck?

There are for sale in the market place, make me an offer!!

Dutchpilot I believe has 50k miles by now on his 07.5 Duramax LMM. I think it might be only 6 months old. I believe he he hauls rv's as well.

haulin-rv, I wish I could, but I have a SRW.

haulin-rv, I wish I could, but I have a SRW.

Perfect excuse to upgrade to a dually:D.

keep your sig updated with the miles you got on that thing!

If somebody wants to try a Mega Cab, give me a shout as I'm looking for a GM crew diesel. Let's make a deal!

I'd make a deal with ya...but i need the room of an 8' bed.....

I'd make a deal with ya...but i need the room of an 8' bed.....

Not likeing the new one?

No...i do...just saying i would have bought a dodge if they had the mega cab in the 8' box...i really liked the factory exhaust break

There is a company in Utah that does the MegaCab longbed conversions for $5K. Also, the '06 factory Jacob's brake is nowhere close to the performance of the Pacbrake.

No more P0087 for me I solved the problem this morning.

O.k. since it's been on the road for a while, and you probably have 10k miles on it by now, what's the skinny? Likes/dislikes??

Well?

he is hanging out with all the other lame ass Dodge owners :HiHi:

I'd love to hear the miles he has on it already and a nice contrast/compare to his previous truck.

He Broke His Collar Bone In 3 Places And Is Layed Up For A Little Bit.....damn Stick Shift....

He Broke His Collar Bone In 3 Places And Is Layed Up For A Little Bit.....damn Stick Shift....

Nope...he Did Break His Collar Bone In 3 Places...the Damn Stick Shift Was A Joke.....kinda Tuff Shifting With A Busted Collar Bone..

He Broke His Collar Bone In 3 Places And Is Layed Up For A Little Bit.....damn Stick Shift....
Holy crap ! ! ! --- How'd he do that? :confused:

Hope he mends quickly and is able to get back to doing what he likes soon....

His fancy-schmancy new Dodge retaliated on him for previously owning a Duramax and tried to strangle him with the seatbelt. He only survived by pointing out how many Dodge trucks he had before his Duramax. :D

I'd love to hear the miles he has on it already and a nice contrast/compare to his previous truck.

I have 22,000 miles so far. I really like it. No problems so far, fuel economy is better, and the extra room is great.

I found out its actually 4 places:(.

I raced my ATV to the bottom of a hill, problem was that I was not on it:eek:. Looks like 6 weeks or so until I will be healed. They have me in a brace and I go back next Tue. and if it has not moved and started healing all is good, if not its surgery with a plate and screws.

I raced my ATV to the bottom of a hill
Did you at least win?
Hope all goes well and no surgery is needed.

Surgery?!?!?! :eek:

Hope you heal quickly and don't need any surgery.

Keep us posted.

Take care of yourself. :)

At least we got the update, I was not expecting that much info!

Hope you heal well, how much better milage are you seeing?

Towing is better by on avg almost 2mpg, empty is about 1-1.5mpg. My overall avg is 1.8 mpg better (hand calculated).

Found out today surgery w/ a plate and some screws this Friday, so no hauling trailers for a while:(.

Bummer! Hope all goes well with the surgery. Take care of yourself.

Good friend of mine had Powerjokes his whole career for company trucks and beat the living tar out of em. Got a brand new dodge last winter for "makin power" cuz he heard you can put a lot more power in Cummins without breaking them. He got it with a 6speed and traded it in this summer for a brand new 3500 D-max. I couldnt believe it. All of his trucks he orders the most expensive banks kit, wheels and tires, lift kit, etc. He said the Dodge was just a poorly built truck all except the motor. I am eager to see how the D-max or Chevy in general holds up to his abuse. The first weekend he snapped a front CV shaft!

Wish'n you a speedy recovery my fellow dually club friend.....even if you are a turncoat..........lol j/k mang....get better soon.
