[QUOTE="ND, post: 455286, member: 1918"] I have a 2001 dodge 3500 with cummins, a little less than 75,000 miles. I haven't driven it much lately due to the 3.29 per gallon fuel but I took it about 60 miles pulling an empty trailer. I then loaded it, went up a few hills then on one of the hills blue smoke and chug, chug, chug. I pulled into a small station, popped the hood and opened the air filter compartment and (pretty embarrassed) it was full of a mouse nest. Luckily they just happened to have one. I then went the rest of the way home 45 miles loaded no problems. I used it a few more times and had no problems. My dad used it one day and he said it acted up. I replaced the fuel filter today and then loaded the trailer up and got 1/2 mile down the road, blue smoke and chug, chug ,chug. It seems like this happens in about 3rd or 4th gear only pulling a heavy load. Any suggestions, did I do some damage with that mouse nest? sorry for novel Thank you. [/QUOTE]
