I have a 99 2500 with 160k on it. I have replaced ball joints tie rod ends track bar and it still drives hard. I still kind of darts or wonders. It wants to go every way but strait down the road. I was wondering what you guys had for input on what to do as far as a gear box or aftermarket steering box. Thanks Joel

Hey guys, my AC went out last week and went and had it checked out and I've got a leak at the compressor and another one somewhere else but I can't remember off the top of my head where its at. Shop that looked at it quoted $1100 to fix it. Where is the best place to get an AC compessor and other AC parts for these trucks?

is 285 50 20 to big for 2nd gen can get a steal on them thats why im asking running 265 75 16s now

Sometime this year I need to get a carpet set (mine was factory vinyl floor) and my dash is in about six pieces... Anybody buy carpet from Rock Auto? I am thinking of getting it from there.Anybody swap their dash out before? I am dreading taking that thing apart. What other stuff should I change while I have the dash out? The heater core is original, and I am planning on Dyno-Matting the crap out of the firewall, doors and floor for sound proofing.

I wanted to buy a new steering box and BD steering brace, started looking around truck, found cracked frame. This is what I get for messing with something that wasn't broke yet. I did a few searches on different sites haven't found much. So I started a thread. Have any Ideas? [*]

I am going to replace my rear brake pads, rotors and e brake. question is how to remove the rear rotors. Do you have to remove the rear axle and bearings? I see in a photo about adjusting the ebrake that Mikes rear rotor is removed but the axle is still in place. Is mine just stuck or does the axle have to come out? It is a Dana 80 rear.

Would a gas cluster work in our trucks? Aside from the tach. Now with that, would the tach read actual rpm? Or is it programmed in the PCM? Being the tach is Can controlled. --- Update to the previous post... Well after some more research and this pic: http://articles.mopar1973man.com/images/general/ccd/CCD-Network-Wiring.jpg It seems that the cluster would have its own decoder ring so a tach should show actual engine rpm.....i hope.

my seat belts come out of my seat to the right or left of the seat, there are plastic inserts that clip into the seat the belt pass,s thru, these brackets come out when the seat belt is pulled out, other that ordering new ones and going thru the threading of the seat belt thru them does anyone know of a fix for this issue? Could really use any help on this, even a source of ordering:banghead:Thank you:)

I was lucky enough to have my brother visit me this last week and he road in the truck with me a few times. Usually my truck steer's pretty good but it seems like im constantly moving the steering wheel a little side to side. MY brother weighs probably 350 or so and with him in the passenger seat my truck has never handled better, it just went straight and I wasnt moving the wheel at all. What could I do to get this all the time without putting sack-crete in my passenger floorboard?

So I'm replacing the front fenders on my 01 Ram 2500 quad cab, I know there a huge pain to replace. My question is I'm wondering which would be better if I re-welded the new fenders in or just secured them with nuts and bolts? Let me know what you guys think or if anyone has done this.

I picked up another 12V power outlet in the yard and want to replace my cig lighter with it since I dont smoke. I cut the panel upto get the other one out. How do you remove the lighter without destroying the panel? FSM says external snap ring pliers put I cant find any that work. In the FSM it looks like the pins on the pliers point away from ech other. Never seen a set like this.

Here is the story: Front brakes grinding. I know I'm goingto find metal to metal. I open it up and....metal on metal. . I did reading in my manual and postedon a site and found out that with the 4x4 hub and such that thisisn't just as simple as a 2wd set up. I find the trick to use asocket and extension to help ease off the rotor and hub assembly. I got the axle nut off or rather, loosened(they were easy.I don't know if someone didn't tighten them back up after servicingbefore or what). But I've got big issues now. I loosened all the nuts and put thesocket and extension on the top one on the front side. I had the wifeturn the wh…

Anyone know a good place to get these as well as the covers ? Assuming its just a straight gasket with essentially a dust cover on top ? Don't want billet but what's best ? W&f ? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?r3a3i0

Question...has anyone with airbags ever removed the bottom most leaf in the pack? I'm just brainstorming ideas...Here is a photo of the leaf. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today while driving my ABS & Brake light both came on. It stayed on until I shut the truck off for a little bit. I started it back up & started driving no lights, then all at once they're back on. Turn the truck off, start back driving same deal. Whats going on and what do I do to fix it. Brakes still seem good.

Does anybody have a diagram of the steering column, I have bearings going out or something going wrong in there. I tryed a search but no luck, maybe I am spelling it wrong
