I've never registered on this website but tried to since I recently
bought me a Cummins Ram.  It tells me my email addy has been banned and
to contact the administrator.  I did but no response.  Is this website
private by invite only or what?  Anyone know the admins there?

Some places want you to use an email address besides hotmail, yahoo, google,
etc.

Miles, I'm a little late getting to this but you might want to check out the
TDR. It is a moderated site but I have yet to find one more informative when
it comes to Cummins/Dodge info. The other sites mentioned are good, guess
you have to find one that fit's your needs.

Here's the addy: www.turbodieselregister.com

TDR is also a corporate slave, with the main thrust of lining the owners
pockets. If its inhabited by the same types thatwere there several years
ago, its more "my truck is faster than yours because I'm smarter than you,"
than it is informative. Still, there may be gems to find among the crap.
IOW, its little better than this newsgroup, and the NG is free.

A Corporate salve? A little dramatic imo. Yup, you pay a membership to get
full access and to recieve a fairly informative 150 page magazine 4 0r 5
times a year, but you can read the info at no charge I believe.

You gotta be kidding!!! .

Nope, not kidding. I was a member there for several years. At one point,
they handed webmaster duties to a guy who hated Dodges and drove a Ford.
Sadly, it showed in his attitude towards the members.

One guy got banned from promoting his product, even though people were
asking him directly about it. So he had to reply in a manner which didn't
answer the question. IIRC, he finally posted that he could discuss things in
full on the phone, and left TDR.

There were other instances that made no sense where a member was shown the
door for no apparent reason.

Finally, when TDR admins went noisily public about how they had taken the
site from its actual founder, and then how they were suing him for starting
another site, I discontinued membership.

TDR seemed far more interested in holding its status with Chrysler and
promoting its own retail outlet than allowing free exchange of information.
Maybe that has changed, but I'm doubting it.

That would have probably been Bill K from DTT iirc. He makes a fantastic
product but there were other vendors that paid to advertise on that site, he
refused. The choice was pretty much his.

Like every site, it has it's ups and downs but overall I don't think you can
find more or better info on a Cummins in a Dodge. To each his own I guess.

Right, but for him to mention things he'd done as personal experience in a
post, and then take crap for doing exactly what the site was designed to do
seems a bit heavy handed. Either that, or they were exactly as I said,
corporate slaves.

I prefer the FSM and experienced people, not websites.

Many website forums provide a wealth of good information.  Currently I
like dodgetalk.com and dodgeforum.com.
Max Dodge - 18 Oct 2007 12:24 GMT
Unfortunately, most of the problems I encounter don't seem to be things the
"average Joe" on a website can solve. This is likely because I've been
turning wrenches longer than the "average joe", and when I need info or
expertise, I must go to someone with more info than I. Out of all the people
I've communicated with online, only three have had that level of knowledge.
Each had a particular interest in the vehicle I sought info on.  Each
individual was either paid professional in his daily life, or a hobbiest who
went above and beyond the normal owner.

I grew up tearing cars apart in my school days.  Problem is that much of
that isn't relevant to todays vehicles.  Gone are the days of solving
most engine problems with basic hand tools and a volt meter.  On many
websites I've found some highly skilled individuals and mechanics.  You
do have to filter out the non-answers.
