    Has anyone here installed on before? The one I got came with a Wiring schematic but beyond that there’s no more installation instructions.

    Ok, I backed my truck out of my shop to idle it for awhile to check on what was leaking from my turbo gasket when the PacBrake in on, I had noticed that when I shut off ignition my low fuel pressure light on my gauge would stay on as well as my "brake" light was also dimly lit, well while idling yesterday the "Airbag" light came on, I switched the Pass airbag off and the light went out, so I figure I have something in that circuit wrong, then I notice my blower fan was staying on with ignition off, as if these issues wasn't enough all the dash lights came on "check engine" "check gauges" as well as "no bus" in the odometer Haven't even started to dig into this, not sure …

    So, I've never had my truck aligned (I've put 135k) since I've had it. The tires have always worn evenly. I replaced the ball joints on the drivers side. Last fall the tires were wearing, so I took it in and had it checked. The toe-in was off, but I don't remember if it was positive or negative. He set toe-in at +0.10. He said the drivers side camber was at +1.35 and passengers side was ar +0.23. I told him to leave it and when I put new tires on in the spring we would do it then. I know both sides have 1 degree bushings already in the top ball joints. So, I decided to check camber the redneck way. I downloaded an spirit level app for my iPad. Parked on l…

    What are you guys doing w/ your 24V for enjoyment. I'm really pleased w/ my Dodge Cummins & really glad that I found a 3500 diesel. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.The guy that I bought the Sunline Camper from was using a V10 Fjord gasser & it's his daily driver too. I think that's insane. Only 8 mpg's w the camper.

    Good morning guys, Recently my "check guages" light has been coming on and the dash DC Volt meter would spike all the way over to the high side. When I stop the vehicle to check the voltage with my VOM the error goes away. What do you guys think this probably might be?

    Well stuff is starting to look up since I got back from vacation. Had a tree limb fall on hood of truck while we were gone and it did $904 worth of damage to truck. Started looking around for a new hood and found a hood, grill, and bed for $200. those three parts will fix most of the body damage to my truck. Also got my new fuel tank/toolbox combo ordered, new tires will be put on truck on Wednesday and depending on money will order a set of RV275's to put in. Hopefully the good luck will continue for a while. Anyone had there whole truck painted? If so what did it cost?

    Edit: whoops. can someone move this to non- powertrain? Thanks Hey all, Ive had this forever, but its been on the backburner. I figure some better minds could help. Airbag light, new clockspring fixed cruise control, no dice on light. Cant figure out how to pull codes for it. Dont know where to go. I looked at a 99? Wiring diagram posted here, showed the ACM hooked to something called a seat belt module. Supposed to be under center seat? Nothings there on mine, or harness, so dont know if was deleted? Mine is a 2001. Also theres this terminated plug under the air-filter. Dont know where that goes or what it does, a…

    Howdy, new member, 1st post. I've got an '01 2500 4x4 LBQC, HO. Pretty much stock, except for: Smarty, BHAF, 255/85R16 BFG Mud Terrains, Galaxy CB, KC Highlites. Working on a dually rear axle conversion with a flatbed..... anyway, I've got the stock radio with the infinity speaker system with stering wheel controls. About a year ago, the right side button fell out and a few weeks ago, the left side fell out driving down the highway. My question is: can I replace the buttons or do I have to replace the complete wheel. I've been surching the net, with no avail. Any help would be appreciated.:banghead:

  16. Thanks again for all your replies! It was definitely a shot lift pump. We installed the new FASS DDRP pump and it rocks. I am amazed at how quiet it runs. The FP gauge is also awesome and thanks to MoparMan for posting video footage of a properly set snubber valve! Mine is open less than an 1/8th of a turn and like Mikes the needle rises gently to 21 psi at idle and drops to 14 psi at WOT. I got the IssPro Tranny, Pyro, and FP gauges in the pillar pod and a 2" hole saw made a nice spot to the left of the ashtray for my Boost gauge. I will post pics of the setup.Next project is to repair my QUAD XZT+. The mice ate through the electrical wiring this winter as I must…

    I bought new Taillights for my 96 Ram and there is a clip on the body that the pin for the tail light fits into that is missing. The clip fits into a square hole in the body. Does anyone know where I can find one or is a salvage yard the only place to find one? I'll try and take a picture tomorrow if I get a chance. Bob

    Hi all, Just picked up a rust free 2000 from Florida. It's a 2500 Laramie SLT. Any good links on power seats? I got the forward-back working but could use the rest of the switches. I have power to the motors but appear to be jammed. This is my 1st power seat vehicle, so I'm ready to learn! Thanks, Dave
