2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

But I'm confused... So while I was at the auto parts store, I remembered that my tire pressure gauges were not adeqaute enough to test the trucks tire pressures. Got home and decided to give it a whirl. Looked on the sidewall and it said 80psi max. Okay, so I tested it. All my tires come out to about 50psi! They don't look flat, but dang! 30psi from max inflation? 'Am I missing something here? Is there something I'am missing when I got into the truck world?I have always ran my tires at about max inflation... This makes me wonder.

I'm looking at a set of 4 Cooper Discoverer H/T 235/85/R16's Load Range E for my truck. Have found a set on line for $605.00 with a 60k warranty. Was wondering if anyone has any comments on Cooper Tires, good or bad. I'm presently running a set of Yoko Geolanders G053 and it looks like I'm not going to but about 32k miles on them.

put on the ac blows cold but from defrost its stuck up on the defrost any thouths before i start chasing this around i figure its a vacum hose or something not flipping the doors were they need to be but thats why i love this site maybe someone can save me some time and headaches.

I have a 2001 4x4 Quad Cab with 86k on it. I had a front end noise recently and took it in. They told me my ball joints were going so i had them replaced. I did notice play in them last year but with brand new tires and myself traveling constantly for work, i decided to get them done and be ready for camping season.I still have a noise coming from what seems like the front drivers side of the truck. Very noticable when I brake and turn left. It never makes the noise when turning right. Yesterday hauling home the camper, I noticed it just driving down the road and when i would brake and very noticable when braking and turning left.I am guessing a wheel bearing but no…

brake light and abs lights are on and no speedo any ideas of the cause?

Alright, so I got a laundry list of items I have for the truck and one of them is to service the rear brakes. I have not done drums in years. Last night, it took me like 2 hours to get one side back together. Let alone, I think I did it wrong. :banghead:If any of you guys have pics of both sides, I would appreciate it. I think I have everything on right, except the shoes. I believe it matters what shoe goes on what side, right?I became a cussing man again last night, which I did not like. Bought new spring hardware, etc. and man they are STIFF! I even bought a brake tool and its not even worth my time, stupid thing!Gaaaah! :ahhh:Also, I'm draining my brake lines and putti…

Alright, so me being an ex-GMC/Chevy owner, I was all too wary of how Dodge went about doing their door hinges and pins. So far, they seem to be a pretty stout setup. Although, I have one qualm about their system. You can;t service them! Their pins are pressed on the ends. I have no idea how I could ever seperate the door from the hinges unless I were to destroy the pins. How I could ever get pins to work again is an idea I can't wrap my head around.My reason for getting on the soap box is because the bushing for the door limiter arm is shot to the point that my door creaks upon opening and closing. Does anyone know how to remedy this and/or has someone come out with an "…

Last weekend while driving my truck I started noticing a weird noise coming from the front end of my truck while nearing a stop sign. Almost like a deep vibration type of noise. I haven't taken anything apart yet but it seems like there is still plenty of pad left:shrug:. It's still doing it and they feel kind of grabby now.Luke

Alright, so I was giving this a though and tried to think of where I could get my hands on one ofr the dodge. I fancy the custom bumpers for our trucks and like the thought of being able to have a winch setup and some extra protection while going in the mountains. Looking at some sites, I find that the bumpers are expensive for my liking. even if I can get a winch on them, would I even be able to put a plow on as well? I'm looking at getting a plow in the future as well and would not prefer to have to keep switiching between the two. I'm considering making my own bumpers at this rate... --- Update to the previous post... What, nobody wants to play with…

YEEEAAA!I seriously think doing a spray bedliner on the whole exterior of the truck is the way to go for N idaho! Anyone ever though of doing it or have done it and what did you think or do you think of it?To me its a no brainer. No more scratches, more dent resistant, dont have to worry about rust, probably easy to clean. I would think the advantages outweigh the dis.

Anyone heard or tried ? http://www.amazon.com/Eastwood-Powder-Coating-Voltage-Starter/dp/B002XE6HHG/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Well i should have gotten a Road Armor Bumper and maybe it would have helped a little. A guy decided to cut in front of me and make a left as i was going straight. Light turned yellow and one guy cut in front but had time to make it but the 2nd guy didnt make it. Witness confirmed that it was a yellow light 15 different ways to my insurance. She thought that the guy making the left had right of way. I cant believe california gives away drivers licenses that easy. Plus they do not do anything to people that drive around with no insurance. Amazing state! No i have to wait for his insurance to investigate. The truck still started and went into gear and drove up the tow tr…

Anyone know a good electrical person in North Georgia or the Chattanooga area? While running starter ( 20sec on, 2 min off) to bleed fuel lines, I ended up with electrical odor and light smoke in cab! I would imagine that dealership is going to be super expensive on this one. Thanks,Eric

I've owned my truck for a couple months now. Ever since I owned it, the red BRAKE light has flashed in a timed manner repeatedly until I release the parking brake. One time sitting on a hill with the tailgate facing downhill, I parked in neutral, set the brake and the truck slowly started creeping backwards. Only happened once, and I park on that same hill all the time at my moms house. Since then I'm always very cautious to make sure my wheel is turned sharply incase the brake would let go. However, just recently, the blinking light continues to stay on and blink while driving. Now I've never worked on brakes ever, so I'm unfamiliar with them, but I've learned the blinki…

so i have an upper ball joint that seems to be squeaking and making all kinds of issues when im stopping. Mainly that it pulls to the right a little. So i figured i would get some quality ball joints. And then i proceeded with the order button and this is what i ended up with-prothane 2" leveling kit for the front-daystar scorpion +2" shocks-reybestos upper control arm bushings-reybestos lower control arm bushings-reybestos prefessional grade upper ball joints-raybestos professional grade lower ball joints-moog problem solver sway bar end links-reybestos professional sway bar bushingsill have pictures of it as stuff rolls in. i plan on tearing the whole front end off and …

First time it read no bus I pulled out the cluster to make sure it was getting power like it was supposed to according to all data. Voltage was good so I put it back in and it worked fine for two weeks now its is doing it again so I pulled the self diagnostic cluster codes and got all of them that all data list for the cluster. 900,920,921,940,950,999. I'm thinking this means I need a cluster which is very unfortunate I just put a new tranny in 1500 miles ago. Anybody's knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Anyone know what my truck would weigh? I look at my permit and it just says 14000kg and most of my stickers on the truck are gone. 02 2500 4X4 quad short box

ok dumb thread - but what the heck What other options are there - I'm tired of paying $6-$7 for this stuff in such a small bottle http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-24200-Permatex-Threadlocker-Blue/dp/B0002UEMZ2 Anyone use anything else ?

My cruise control doesn't work. The light on the dash comes on but nothing happens when you push set. I've replaced a few rotted vacuum connections. Where is the actual cruise control unit located? I have a 2001 2500 with automatic trans.

My truck has been down for a while now. Truck is a 2001 2500 HO 6-speed. Cranks but no start. Not getting fuel past the injector pump. Had a code for the lift pump but, fuel pressure is good at 17 or so psi and lift pump runs as it should. It's the frame mounted walbro pump. I'd have done the pump by now except, with my snap on scanner plugged in, the data screen shows the injector pump fuel shut off not switching to on. After I crank the motor it will switch to on for a second and then back to off. I have checked electrical connections and grounds. Could it be an ECM problem or am I just over thinking. I hate to change out parts just on a guess. Thanks for any help you c…
