  • 3500 recall?

    I remember reading about 2005 3500's having a recall.. something about the valve springs and false knock. Am i crazy or is this true?


    I ask because i'm reinstalling the stock springs on some 2005 3500 heads and noticed that they are slightly different than the ones that were on my '04 heads. They have a rough texture to the metal instead of being smooth like all the other Gen3 springs.



    Thanks

    Damn, I don't remember hearing anything like that. Could be a different spring supplier. Wouldn't surprise me any.

        i think there was a TSB about the CCP solenoid creating false knock, but nothing about the valve springs....

        alldata is saying there is only 1 engine related recall and it has to do with the harmonic balancer not being seated.

        TSBs: whistling PCV/intake, weak serpentine belt, bad delphi EGR valves, flaky throttle position sensor, leaks from front AND rear main crankshaft seal, and last but not least, clogged injectors...

          hmm, thanks.

          I'll have to figure out where i saw it. I know it's been a few years.
