Just got a 2006 dodge 2500 4x4 with the 5.9. Anyone have one? Looking for advice on maintenance and or performance add ons. Thanks

Change your fuel filter.

H&S for performance. If the box tunes are not enough for ya, Get the MCC unlock and find a tuner who can write you a tune.

I have the H&S on my 10 6.7 with MCC, and there is no comparrison on box tunes. Of course, I had to do a lot more work on mine than you'll have to on the 5.9. Good ol emissions.

Congrats on the truck purchase! I had a 2005 and the only problem I ever had was related to the rear axle. Great motors.

I owned a 06 and put 375k on it before traded it this year. I really miss it. PM me if you would like I have a tuner for it I will sell you for 50.00 It is the Superchips one.

I got an '06 and have the Edge...... Love it! I get about 24 MPG on the hwy now.....

have an 03 with 5.9 . went with the smarty jr. programable with torque settings. also kn & gut the pipe it 's all u will need. like said change fuel filter run some cleaner through it and try and not run your fuel tank down to low. let er eat !

Anyways to fix the death wobble? I've had it happen twice already on the highway.

Yeah. You could trade it off for a Toyota. All problems solved. If a half ton isn't stout enough, you could settle for a Ford.

There are lots of different things that can cause death wobble. Your best bet is to jack the front end up and see if you have any worn/loose steering or front suspension components. It could be anything from a bad steering stabilizer to having a bad alignment. Start there and let me know what you find.

The front end is so heavy if the truck had been off road much it is likely that you will need to replace some of the front end. Jack up the front end and see you may have a few bearings out or steering stabilizer. You should be able to fix it rather easily. Does it have stock tires? I have several problems getting the alignment and balance correct with larger tires.

I have ran 325's on mine but now running 295's I put a new steering stabilizer on mine because the tire shop said if you run a bigger tire then you really needed a good steering stabilizer to cut that out. I also have them check front end for any wear when I get tires changed out......

Sorry to get off topic I just came across a 1997 12 valve cummins 5.9 truck runs good but really no more than a back road or auction truck but I don't know much about them so if anybody has any input it would b greatly appreciated...and as far as exhaust if it's just stock exhaust to get a little more noise out of her what do I cut out meaning muffler and or cat if anybody has any input I sure would appreciate the advice
