2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

I just rebuilt my hydro boost with a seal kit because it was leaking power steering fluid. I carefully separated the halves of it and just replaced the one oil seal that sits around the piston, and then the figure 8 seal. My hydro boost was acting normally except for the P/S fluid leak up until this point. My hydro boost is not leaking power steering fluid anymore, but now when I start the pickup or I'm moving slowly, it acts like the brakes are self applied without pushing on the brake pedal, because I can give it throttle pedal pressure and it takes more power to move the pickup now. I understand that this is most likely caused by a plugged/restricted return…

I am getting a 0-60 boost gauge. Is the below location a good location to put my boost gauge feed? Or is the boost bolt a better setup?

I’ve just about got all the pieces to put an he351ve in my 98. I’m gonna be using a banshee controller that will take care of the exhaust brake functions. I need a momentary switch to activate the brake. It will need to be wired up and have some kind of contact with the fuel pedal. I’m thinking a surface mount momentary switch will be best because I don’t want to drill a huge hole in the floor board. I want the switch to be closed when the button is not pressed instead of open when it’s not pressed. Is that just determined by which way I wire it? Anyone have a wiring for dummies book I can borrow?

I have the rear seat storage on my 01 and was wondering if any one knew if it would bolt right up in my 95? 2001 Posted from my mobile phone while not driving....

As the title states, I tried some LED headlights. I did a little research on what kind of LED will work in a housing designed for halogen bulbs. Long story short these are the type of bulb to use. According to what I read and the videos I watched the placement of the LED chips is important. I bought these bulbs off of Amazon for $39/pair. They're plug and play. Simple as changing a headlight bulb.lol So far I am happy with the results. I only had the opportunity to drive the truck to work at 3am to test. I believe I need to adjust them down. I didn't get flashed but there were only a few other cars on the road. Pic is a bit fuzzy but you can see …

Does the older style "original" pacBrakes (98-2000's)have a manufactured port for a pyro probe?

What are good new headlight housings/lenses to get to replace original fogged over lenses? Not the bulbs , I have the regular stock lenses now, not sport truck Ive seen all the stuff on ebay and amazon. Are some junk? I read ,

Will 3rd gen dually wheels fit over 2nd gen drum brakes? Getting hard to find tires.

Simple question about elec trouble shooting? I'm installing a elec low pressure gauge. Already installed for many years are trans, boost, and egt's. Batteries are disconnected. Looks like gauges are "daisy chained" together. IE wires for power and ground to gauges all tied together and then disappear under dash. I'm going to add the low fuel pressure gauge to them. Wire disappears up under dash where I can't see or tell where the wires grounded or where they are getting power. (Access for me right now is behind the headlight switch, whole dash is not pulled) Question...To find where power is coming from and what fuse....hook up a volt meter to gauge wire…

As you may know from my previous posting that I have this strange sound like a hoot sound and can watch my fuel pressure drop when it happens. I have completed the fuel tank access door in the truck bed so I full freedom to diagnose any issues. So now I want to blow a small amount of air pressure into the fuel line at the top of the tank to check for leaks in the suction side. Will it do any damage to the vp diaphram or other components if I blow about 10 psi into the fuel delivery lines to check on leaks?I removed the fuel module/ anti slosh tube and found my draw straw partially blocked by the fuel module housing. it was too near the side so part of the plastic housing…

We all need a good news story now and then! This spring I decided to update my interior and replaced my lower dash in my 2002 4X4 quad cab. After I was done it would not start! Long story short, took it to local Dodge dealer, they found a pulled pin in a connector, $760.00 later truck was home. We pulled our 30 foot fifth wheel and two quads to Silverton Colorado! Ole blue ran perfect! Got 10 mpg average, pulled all that stuff over a 11,000 foot pass, dry camped for two weeks along a beautiful creek. Love that truck! Gods creation is awesome!

I swapped my ram over to disc brakes 3months ago I also replaced the Master Cylinder and Hydro booster and replaced all the lines, calipers, rotors and pads at the same time . After a week the hydrobooster blew out the accumulator seal and I lost all my power steering fluid in about 2mins. I warrantied it out and replaced it and I couldn't get a good pedal what so ever ,so I bought a oem master and hydrobooster. I installed them yesterday and I still can get a good pedal after bleeding it. If I pump the brakes a few times it has full power but after driving it a few feet afterwards it loses pressure. Should I replace that power steering pump, or is there something else I…

Trying to find some cab corners for my quad cab. I see extend cab, quad cab, and standard cab. What do I need to get for my quad cab? Will the extended cab work?

so i was power washing under my truck 95 12V yesterday, trying to find where the oil is leaking from, it's more like wheres it NOT leaking from... wow... it leaks alot, anyhow. on the exhaust, saw an interesting little something.. can anyone tell me what it was once used for?

I'm thinking about all that has been written about replacement headlights, added off road lighting, etc and comparing with my many years ago experiences where I replaced the OEM lights with "off road" replacements. Sure the off road lights were more powerful but that is only half the story. The other half is the precision ground optics that went with it. The optics allowed for the lights to be aimed higher with no scatter. Now those sealed beam replacements were "universal fit" just install & re-aim. I see neet LOOKING after market lights for the Dodge... but it the optic quality up to the task? Anybody have experience with this?Thanks,Russ

Well, I think I found the reason for my spongey brakes...all pads, rotors and calipers have been replaced/resurfaced in the last 2 years. Can anyone confirm this leak can hinder braking before I yank it? Thanks

I am thinking about the pros and cons of doing this conversion using heavy duty wire and relays.Have any of you done this conversion?There is a lot of information on other forums,I have to do some thing if I am going to do much night driving. I'd appreciate any of you suggestions. Thanks Art

Hello all. New to the site and thankful for finding a bunch of likeminded people. This is my 5th Cummins it’s a 2002 6spd 2500 longbox 4wd. About to turn over 500,000 kms (Canada). Love it and it does everything I need it to but recently I’ve been noticing what feels like an awful lot of axle wrap while towing. I got to tearing into it yesterday and found a couple loose u bolts but worse is that the factory lift blocks under the leaf packs seem to be walking off the axle perch.  It it must have been happening for a bit because both the block and the perch are misformed now. My question is do I buy a new lift block and hope for the bes…

My Sport model has always had this bumper dam, or valance, connected to the bumper and tied to the frame. I dont know why or what purpose it serves other than maybe helping air flow through the radiators... But, I see pictures where some 2nd gens dont have one. :confused013: Do you???
