I got these from the dealership, they're for a 96, but should work on some of the other years. Figured someone else might be looking for these. Hope this helps some.

Yes it finally happened. Until I broke it I wondered how everyone managed to break them. I should have known better. What a crappy little tab that holds it all together. I am starting to think thet if you look into every problem that these trucks have, it comes down to crappy plastic somewhere. From the dash to the tie rod ends to the cup holder to the piston cooling jets. A piece of plactic was involved. But I have rambled enough. Finding a good used cupholder is next to impossible and new parts ...well I did not even call. Figgured I could pull the whole thing out and have a look at the thing from the inside. I decided to use a small piece of stainless wire and lo…

Having a heck of a time finding the right oring for the pressure line that screws into the bottom of the pump. The one they sent is to small. It slides over the tube and the nut pushes against the tube into the pump. If I make any sense. I came across doorman part number 926-157. I hate to keep throwing the credit card at it and coming up with all sorts of orings. I would buy a set of orings but my luck it would have everything in it but the right one. Any help would be great.

Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't switch out my manual seats to power? Need to replace mine and all I've found is electric. Any chance the plug under the seat provides power? I know I'll have to put in a realy/fuse in fuse box, but is there anything else?

When I press the lock/unlock switch on either front door, I can hear loud motors spinning in both doors, but nothing happens (my doors don’t lock/unlock). My last 2nd gen I owned had the same problem, but I never bothered to fix it. I really want my doors to lock without having to manually lock them with my key. 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins sport.

My fold down cupholders that I just took out of the truck had a little light that clipped into the top but im wondering if the map pocket I just replaced it with has a light too? There is a small square hole towards the top but I dont remember unhooking a light and I cant find one dangling behind the dash of the donor truck.

So here is what I have going on- I own a 2001 Dodge Cummins four-wheel-drive 2500 It came from the factory Without air-conditioning. What I want to do is install air conditioning on it. Does anyone have any experience with a project like this? For instance is all the wiring already there in the factory wiring harnesses So all I would have to do is get the components and switches installed And plug everything in it and once the system is charged of course it should work or is there more to it than that Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this is where this should be but has anyone managed to get the light on the mirror to work as a marker light as well as a blinker? :Seen it done on 4th gens with a kit but can’t get it to work on my 2nd gen. Have gotten my blinkers to blink opposite of each other (when ones off the other is on) but that is as close as I’ve been able to get. I’ve added a picture to show mirror and light that I’m talking about. This is also my first post so if there’s somewhere else this should be or if anything else is wrong, that info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I changed my rotors and hubs yesterday; I was metal on metal on the right. Anyway, it took me most of the day, and by the time I got to the driver's side, I forgot to take out the hub bolts and proceeded to pull the hub/rotor assembly off, and pulled the bearing apart. Good thing I had a new bearing to stick on there anyway.Finished it up this afternoon, and it's nice not hearing that scraping sound anymore and no more pulsating stops coming from warped rotors.

Both my trucks alternators are showing the voltage of leaking AC to be too high, around .29 V ac. Is there such a thing as a filter to filter out the AC noise?

I have a canopy. It's a little wider than the bed, stands about 2' above the cab, all corners are rounded about 8" radius. Any idea how much drag as opposed to no canopy? Will I have much more drag with the 22' trailer behind?

1998.5 24V. Rear wheel ABS. Recent work included: 2 new rear wheel cylinders. New rear shoes. New shoe springs & related hardware and new rear drums. Two rear brake lines were so corroded they snapped off at the nut on wheel cylinders. I made new lines. Mounted everything up. Unfortunately had to go to work, and could not get the new lines on for a day or two so master self drained. All rear shoes and hardware seemed to go on fine, and appears to be functioning properly. Recently I read several posts about bleeding brakes. I filled up master and started with my mity-vac vacuum system at each corner. Attempted to bleed by myself. Little results felt on the peda…
