Someone showed me this website and I have to say it looks pretty cool. You could change the color of your car/truck whenever you felt like it. Pretty inexpensive too. I might give it a try. https://www.dipyourcar.com/

Pic attached Just started last night Doors locked Lights off .. Any thoughts ?

Thinking I want to get rid of my plastic bed liner which has rubbed paint, etc and get a set of cap rails and either do a diy or some other type of bed liner. Anybody purchased cap rails recently and have an opinion of them? What cap rails are on your truck and if you can post a pic how far do they wrap over (thinking about covering rubbed paint). Also any opinions on DIY spary in bed liners?

Just installed issopro ev2 piro and boost gauges, Questions what fuse or wire ignition should I tap into? #2 what wire can I tap into for dimmer....thank you for the help.

Replaced my heater core today. Reminded me of divorce court. Nothing seems to be going your way, obstacles popping up repeatedly, then suddenly it's over and a weight is lifted. Really hope it doesn't leak. Used a swivel tube core. Can't run it till tomorrow. Had to order new heater hoses. My carpet was damp and I couldn't for the life of me find the leak letting rainwater in. Then it dawned on me, I needed to replace this last year but with multiple family members dieing unexpectedly and my wife battling cancer, (successfully), it slipped through the cracks. 2019 was a long year. Hope I don't ever have to do it again, but it sure feels good to do it yourself. Thanks to m…

Hey guys help me out here i need a lot of advise... where to start.... as the post says I inherited grandpa's cabin truck... 1995 cummins two tone beautiful truck full loaded except leather... 92700 km... don't know what that is in mile but she's low... 50k maybe? anyhow you get the point... problems... truck was in one accident front axle replaced... at dealer... the truck has been parked in a heated garage for 5 years without being started... i looked at it last week and the transfer case was leaking fluid and same with the diesel tank???? Not sure why but the housing for the diesel tank had dampness on it but i honestly couldn't tell if it was diesel... …

Anyone know if the front bumpers and fenders are the same the whole way through the 2nd generation (94-02) ? I may have found a parts truck but I'm pretty sue it's from the 12v years and I thought I read one time the fenders were different.

So, I got 35in tire probs (yea boohoo I know) which I love the look of, but hate the aftermath aka crap all over the truck! Don't get me wrong, it definitely ups my street cred and makes me look like I'm a total mudder off roader, but I'd rather actually go do that purposely instead! Anyways, I have a good 3-5in (just from memory and eyeballing) of tire hanging outside of my fender. I'm not a fan of flares so that's out of the question. I've seen the duraflaps, proflaps and all the other pretty expensive ones. Anyone have any other ideas? Or can post pics of their home made flaps? Oh and also...

Just curious as to whether anyone has a set of stock hub caps they would be willing to let go cheap????? Or does anyone know where I could find a decent deal on a set? I've looked all over ebay and all I have found is mostly used and abused ones in poor condition...I would like to find a set of chrome ones because I want to do a black powder coat on the wheels and just a little chrome would offset it nicely but any will do! I just hate the look of the rusty hubs on my truck:sick:. Thanks in advance!

Looking for the name of the dash piece that is in a manual trans truck that where the cup holders are in a auto trans truck. My cup holder broke and I want to replace it with that panel. Can't seem to find the part anywhere but i can find the diagram with the part.

Mike? :)I don't have a factory or OE keyfob. Not even sure if my SLT has the OE alarm. But if it does, I'd like to tap into the door locks and see if I can tap the OE arm/disarm with my aftermarket Viper KE system.Just one of my random thoughts..

Good evening everyone, well today hasnt been an good day because my steering gear box started leaking and now its hard to turn. Which is an good place to get an steering gear box cheaper then the dealer or is it fixable. i see they sell seal kits but I'm not that knowledgeable on how to rebuild or reseal the things. but i do have to work this whole weekend but i need this fixed asap. please if anyone has any ideas or info that would be helpful please share, thanks

Howdy all. I've been having an issue lately the brakes on my 96" 2500 4x4. Sometimes when hitting the brakes the pedal will go to the floor and I can barely stop. It happens at random and the ABS light never comes on. Yesterday I unplugged the ABS and my brakes started working normal again. I grew up driving trucks without ABS so I'm not going to kill myself or anything with it being disabled for now. I would like to get it figured out though but I'm not sure where to start.

First off, thanks to Moparman and IBMobile's A/C troubleshooting tips. I'm not mechanically inclined, and A/C is a mystery to me, but after spending a good portion of the day reading, and watching videos I'm starting to understand. Some background - took to the shop, mechanic recharged and put dye in, A/C was good for ~1 month then started blowing warm. Took back, he couldnt find the leak, recharged with dye and kept it for a week, blowed for ~1 month, now it's warm again. I believe he used a Freon with leak patch. Since it's a time and money commitment to get it to him, I got a loaner Manifold gauge and Vacuum pump and set it up tonight. Wi…

if I go with a hbs 2in. leveling kit do I need to address anything else in the front end as far as dropping sway bar and such trying to figure this out and do on a budget I think im going with the ranchos as far as shocks go and the steering bow stabilizer from custom diesel any thoughts?

I repainted my 96, one of those with the clear coat that seperated. And now I'd like to put the emblems back on. They were put on with double sided tape and I'm looking for a good one that will keep them on. Any help is appreciated. Bob

Hi guys, what I got is a 99 Cummins I recently blew the driver side headlight. I have a harness that goes from my passenger side headlight plug over to my driver side but doesn't plug in. I have a hid kit installed with ballasts. My problem is I don't have high beams I only have lows. So I checked the pins, fueses on and on. Then i unplugged the aftermarket harness and put in oem 9007 cheapie bulbs and what I found out is driver side works fine high and low my passenger side though only works on low. and I keep blowing the fuse 15 amp rt headlamp under the hood. I don't know if I have a short or a fuse I'm not seeing or that harness is shot and someone knows where I can g…

Mike has answered all my past questions but here are some more. You guys probably don't believe that I was a diesel fleet mechanic and shop superintendent for 30 years. I think I have forgotten more than I ever learned and this new stuff has just passed me up since my retirement. Question: I have a vacuum pump that sucks 20 inch of vac. Is that enough to vacuum an AC system after disassembly? At NAPA buying my evaporator and thought I would just buy some compressor oil while I was there. There are 4 different kinds in the same brand. Which type do I use? I really should bring this truck up to mike and have him show me some spots to hunt chuckars with my bird dog before I …

My A/C doesn't cycle on and off, compressor just stays kicked in. I checked the pressure and it was a touch low so I put one of those small cans into the system. It is now in the safe range but still won't cycle out. It runs until it freezes off and airflow stops. I have been switching it to vent every few minutes to keep this from happening. What do you guys think is the problem?
