2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

So what do you recommend to fix a leaky windshield? Everyone says avoid silicone but all the available fixes I find, Permatex, JB Weld, etc. are silicone. If you have any suggestions where to buy it would also be helpful.

Which way do i move little knob to remove entire wiper arm? Thanks

So I did the 3rd gen brake upgrade today and while looking things over noticed I only have 2 bolts holding my driver side hub bearing on. I know removing weight helps with mpg/performance and all, but this seems a tad overkill. I ordered a new set of bolts, should arrive tomorrow morning....and I will be taking my car.

Couple days ago, we posted back and forth on the merits of moving up to the 19,5 inch rims/tires. I just talked to my neighbor, who's worked on these from time to time. He's a little concerned that the bead area on these tires aren't real 'ruff country' friendly. ie: It doesn't take much of a side-shot to push the tire off the seal.. frozen ruts, branches, etc. The older rims he's worked with really didn't have much of a lip, it was more like a taper, ending in a small little raised lip. which made it really hard to 'seat' the tire.. and when it's time to dismount, shoot, just let the air out and it w…

Hey everyone! Brand to this site. Hoping to get some answers. So my cab heater is acting up, it will blow warm to hot air through the defrost and face vents but will blow cooler air through the floor or any mix setting. Sometimes I will hear a thud or something dropping on the passenger side dash. I have a new radiator, thermostat, water pump, blend door actuator coupler (heater treater). I'm wondering if this is a vacuum or door problem, maybe even a heater core problem. Also on defrost from the driver vent to the passenger its got great air flow to almost none, so thats also a concern. Thanks!

All Yesterday my parking brake cable failed me. The cable itself did not break, but the metal 'clip' or whatever its called that holds the cable from the tensioner to the cable going forward did. I called my local dealership to get the intermediate cable ordered since it comes with the metal piece I need, however they said it is a discontinued part. After shopping around a few online websites for the part I have not come up with any luck either (Part # 52010321AA). The diagram below is pointing directly at the part I need on # 10. I am hesitant to buy an aftermarket cable again since this part failed me in less than a year already. Does anyone have any i…

My seats are getting in pretty bad shape and I have kept my eyes open for something for replacement. Found these Saturday morning. https://greenville.craigslist.org/pts/d/98-01-dodge-ram-2nd-gen-truck/6281653808.html Just to good to be true. I think I could sell mine for $75 on Craigslist. Any way I called him and sure enough he had sold them. Told me he had another set but I thought he told they were sold also. 2 hours ago I get a phone call from the same guy telling me he was home and had pulled the second set out and cleaned them up and was hoping that i could get there in 30 minutes if I wanted them. Fortunately for me I have friend down his way and he went and …

I replaced my door panels and the window motor on passenger side of my 1999 3500. Now my power locks don't work and I can't figure out why! Any suggestions?

Today I use the truck to go to work and the abs light and brake light stay on. No biggie, it's happened before and went away. Everything still functioned and had braking power. Then, when I'm driving, I lose my Speedo intermittently. After work, lights were still on, but Speedo wouldn't work until after 20mph. What is it, my Speedo sensor, or an and sensor? I've read a little, and sounds like there is something on the transmission and diff. Any ideas?

So I have finally brought my truck home a couple days ago, its taken almost 2 weeks since I have bought the truck!!! I have a list to follow and repair items, junk yard items to look for ect. Today Im starting off with the Drivers side door latch, THIS IS THE WORST I'VE SEEN. and yes that would be JB weld. WHY? No idea, but I can confirm it will not fix this apparently. I also have rust at the base of the seats, it looks like the vapor barrier was off the drivers side door for a long time. The panel was not attached when I got the truck, and the previous owner said he did not remove the barrier. S…

I came home from work the other day to my truck in the driveway with the backup lights on.I unplugged my trailer - no short there, they stayed on. I played with my override switch and my shifter, they didn't turn off.I pull the backup light fuse and they stayed on.It seems that the hot side must be shorted to voltage somewhere after the switch on the trans. Anyone have any ideas on common bad splices or pinch points? I've got no guesses on likely areas myself, thought I'd throw it out there and see if this was any sort of "common problem" that I'd just never stumbled across.

a little on the warm side here in Ohio, so ive been using the AC a lot. the other day I noticed the floor was wet, sure enough I peeled up the carpet an the carpet is soaked. clean water so I'm thinking its condensation. does anyone know if there is a drain under the dash that could be clogged or disconnected ? thnx in advance

I got tired of my second failing Glowshift fuel pressure gauge and put in an ISSPRO EV-2 that matches my pyro. It's so nice to have a gauge that reads correctly that I can trust. I still have a liquid filled mechanical under the hood for back-up and this ISSPRO agrees with it 100%. Glowshift from new only read 5psi when the mechanical read 18psi . Did I mention I like ISSPRO?

So I just replaced my brakes all 4 corners pads and rotors and new calipers up front. And now when I come to a stop slowly it feels like ABS kicks in. No lights in the cluster coming on. It does not do it every time I stop. Could it be the rear speed sensor ?bad wheel hubs up front ? I am lost and scared to put a trailer behind it till I get it fixed. Any help I would really appreciate it

Well I figured out why my back door lower latch wasn't latching. The big hole rusted through the lower door let water and crud in there and rusted the latch mechanism. So I'm going to remove the latch and see about freeing it. Has anybody replaced their lower door skins?

I attempted to get an answer from Timken and National using one of those “GFYS” Contact Links forms companies hide behind. Still waiting…could be a non-work day for Beijing employee tasked with providing a response. I was taught Bearings and Races come as a set and are not to be mixed. Also, new bearings of unlike brands are not to be mixed, as tolerances and metal may not be the same between companies. All my purchases until now consisted of a box containing a Bearing and it’s Race. Has this changed? AZ sold me 2 National 15101 Bearings. I asked where it’s Races were and was told they are sold separately and then offered 2 Timken 15245 Races. …

So my A/C isn't blowing that cold of air out. It'll get somewhat cool, but not cold like A/C should. I recently did the heater treated fix and it definitely made the heater air hotter. I took apart my blower motor and it wasn't a mess. I cleaned it up anyways. The resistor doesn't look that bad. Probably stock but no major cracks or anything. Is it just in need of a basic A/C recharge?

I just picked up a 95 12v as a tow rig for my pull truck. I pulled out the controler from my 2001 and thats a plug and play. I looked under the dash of the 95 and I dont see any similar looking wires.. Help pleasePosted from my mobile phone while not driving....

I am replacing my busted grille and I found out that the fasteners that attach the 4 points on the grille to the grille bracket are missing. Anyone know what size these bolts are and do they have a washer? There are 4 of them.

My truck has a rattle near or in the steering column. I thought this will be easy. Removed most of the plastic on that side. Expected to find a wire bundle rattling on the plastic. Had it apart twice. Any ideas. I know this is a stretch.
