I don't do much on the forums anymore, but I thought somebody might benefit from documenting what I consider a proper radio installation for a 2nd generation Ram. Honestly it will probably be almost identical for any extended cab Ram. I purposely built this using materials anybody can get from the big box stores and truck stop radio supplies. Materials List: Qty 1: 3/4 in. x 36 in. Plain Steel Square Tube with 1/16 in. Thick Qty 1: 1 in. x 36 in. Plain Steel Flat Bar with

This is a topic I also posted on the Cummins Forum because I have seen a lot of Dodge folks with the same issue I have. This is what I wrote: This is just a heads up for those folks like me who have the inner dash fame core mount deck assembly broken. I have been trying for several months to locate one and found some on eBay but a complete unit may run from $550.00 to $800.00 depending on the salvage yard that is selling it. Getting pieces from one that

A few weeks ago I ordered some 3.5mm headphone jacks to try and wire up an AUX input into my radio. I did see a write-up on here for the Infinity system, but not the cd/cassette Chrysler radio with the number p04704383ah on the top cover. Finally got the parts in today to start in on this. Spent a bit of time looking and didn't find anything in regards to this radio.

Common symptoms: A/C blows cold for a bit but then you hear a "thud" sound and your cold A/C is now blowing hot air out of the vents. When A/C is on and you change the temp control from cold to hot and back to cold, the air doesn't return cold but rather stays hot. It is possible that it is an issue with the blend door, or in this article's case, the blend door spacer servo. It is a ~$17 part depending on where you get

This article is meant to serve as a step by step guide to removing your brake and/or clutch pedals. Specifically for the purpose of replacing and greasing the plastic bushings on the pedal pin. It may become necessary to replace the bushings as your truck ages and the plastic bushings become deformed and allow side to side movement of the pedals. I believe this procedure will be very similar for a truck equipped with an automatic transmission as well. Another thing I'd like to add is that the FS

The coolant temperature gauge for normal span is roughly 165*F to 225*F from left tick mark to right tick mark. Here the coolant sensor is operating and at 164*F the needle is barely off the mark on the cold side. Here the temperature is fooled to 216*F but not quite there to the tick mark figuring its going to be about 225*F at the mark.

Disabling Factory Alarm Horn Are you tired of the factory alarm horn going off with 3 honks (tamper alert) when unlocking the door or at other inconvenient times? The horn sounds when the central timer module grounds pin 85 of the horn relay. Here is a simple inexpensive remedy to stop the module from sounding the horn. You cut the wire to the module; the horn will still work at the steering wheel horn button but not with the door locks or key fob. You will need a phillips s

Huge thanks to jstetler69 over on CF for posting this writeup and also letting us post it here. If you notice your headlights are not always turning on when you turn the knob it might be time to clean your headlight switch. Lights might also be dimmer than they used to be. Start by taking the switch out. Pop the dash bezel off, remove the 3 mounting screws, disconnected the batteries (probably not 100% necessar

HVAC Case Removal WARNING! Disconnect the batteries for at least 15 minutes before starting to disassemble the dash. This is because of the Air Bags in the dash. This is just a safety precaution to keep the possibility of discharging your Air Bags while you work on your dash. So that being said we'll disconnect the batteries and work under the hood for a short period. There are a few chores we got to do under the hood. &#

Manual Air Recirculation Control The HVAC control in a 1999-2002 2ed generation Ram only has the ability to recirculate air when either the controller is in the OFF or MAX A/C. In all other positions outside air is entering the cab interior. This modification will give you the ability to either have the air recirculation controlled by the factory HVAC controller or have the system in recirculation in any position. How it works The black hose supplies the vacuum to the
