Dan, I don't know of one in OK so can't help. I would recommend you talk to a local or OKC Cummins authorized dealer. Determine if you like their attitude and prices. It's not very close but I live east of Lubbock, have a large 42' by 60' steel barn, and a friend who was a Dodge dealer tech at a local Dodge dealer for six or seven years. He works on Volvo industrial equipment now but still does an occasional major...

SShafranko, just found your link to the Smarty mount. I like the way you mounted it, unfortunately, with my automatic and fold out cupholders I can't mount it like yours. I'll find a way...Does yours "wiggle" going down the road, and is that tube flexible? __________________ 2006 2500 Quad cab short bed, Smarty Jr.,Banks ram air w/super scoop, Goerend all billet trans, CFM+ intake, Eaton Tru-Trac., Nitto Dura Grapplers...

It is nice to hear a good word for our beloved cummins dodges.
I complain often about my 06 but overall it is a great truck so far.
Never been back to see dealer since it left new.
No flashes.
All is work done in the driveway by me.
And the mpg 16-17 around townnis dead on with what my old 96 got.

Has there been articles in the TDR magazine about extending the crankcase vent tube, perhaps?
I've noticed something similar to what the original poster was describing, and would like to get rid of it as well.

I have noticed that when running some oils, they will tend to use a little over an extended amount of time. Also if you are running hard towing/hauling heavy, you may blow a little extra out of the crankcase vent tube. This wouldn't be anything that you would notice at the time though, as it would come out of the crank case vent as a vapor. If it is really sub par oil, it can also turn to sludge...

Doesn't sound like a smarty jr problem, just a coincidence that it happened at the same time. I think that it is a mechanical problem, keep it simple first in the diagnosis department at first. Being that removal of the Jr the problem is still there it leads me to believe that it is not it.
Possibly a boost leak, low fuel pressure, very dirty air filter, dirty fuel filter.

I just put an Air Dog 100 on my truck this summer. What is an Air Dog 2? I just checked the Pureflow website and didn't see it.
Also, why do you want more filtration?
I'm not being snide, these are real questions.
Thanks

I am pretty sure your motor does not have an egr, but i could be wrong. I know my '03 does not.

The latest is Dex VI that would be close to the same type of fluid as ATF+4. III is old technology, doesn't take the heat as well, etc. It probably will help with the slip at the expense of the rest of the trans. If the clutches aren't holding a shift kit is MUCH better investment than non compliant fluid.
