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.

I need some help and advice, please. I have a 01 2500 Cummins, and need to replace the front brakes and rotors. There is a fairly large torx head bolt holding the brake calipers onto the hub assembly. NO ONE has the External socket that fits this bolt. Where the h*** do I get this socket? I have spent two days getting nowhere but frustrated looking for this. An E24 is just a little bit too small and that is the largest that NAPA sells. Also, what size is the internal Torx that removes the caliper sliders from the main caliper assy? thanks for any and all replies! whodat88

needed to replace the power cord on a Perkins engine this week, and since I added this block heater myself a couple years ago, I was hoping KATS engine block heaters would offer a replacement cord. They do! Kat's 28216 or Kat's 28500 Both are about 15 or 16 bucks, but the interesting thing I found with these, is they fit the heaters installed in our Cummins. (just make sure which 'end' you need, round or tri-oval) They are probably cheaper than what the dealer wants

Hey folks someone has already repaired the seat heater element in my 2001, does anyone know of a replacement element I could buy? I'm seeing some generic ones for sale but wasn't sure if they will work with the factory switch.

In the fuse box under the hood of an 02 24v I'm looking for a fuse that only has power when the key is in the on position. I don't have a light tester, just reading the fuse lables on the inside of the fuse box cover I could probably take a wild guess, but I figured I'd ask here real quick just to make sure.

I like having my exhaust backpressure gauge, but right now its just a loose gauge by my gear shifter. My cheap-o glowshift pyrometer gauge crapped out (I still have the Edge pyrometer which is the one I monitor) so I'm thinking of replacing the pyrometer gauge in my A-pillar pod with an exhaust back pressure gauge to clean things up and make it easier to see. From what I can tell, the only difference between a mechanical air pressure, boost, or exhaust pressure gauge from Autometer ore Isspro is the letters on the face of the gauge and the exhaust back pressure gauge comes with a length of copper tubing (which I don't need because I have a stainless part that came with …

I have a 2012 dodge 3500 steering system. I’m wondering if you guys know if it’ll fit right on or not before I take it off the truck. I’ve heard some of them are too long and sometimes you need to bore out some holes. Let me know what you guys figure. Looking to put it on my 2000 2500

Ok, so my truck was a repo and the wiring harness and trailer plug are missing. I see where they cut the wires but it also looks like they had something rigged up here like some lights or something. There is a group of 5 wires grouped together in black wire protector. There is a red wire that looks like it goes back to the battery. Two other black wires.I have not bought the harness or plug yet. I want to be able to run the lights on trailer and charge the battery on the trailer while towing. Any help or advice would be appreciated.Thanks,Jason

Hi All, New to me Truck. I was removing the Edge Transmission Temp sensor Wire when crawling out I noticed that the top bolt in the 4 link #4 in Illustration was backed out, right hand side. Aside from screwing back in with Locktitie is there a way to unload the link so I don't Screw it up? I assume (That word.) that Jack it up and support the frame and then just unscrew locktite it and back in she goes?

Stopped by the stealership and priced out new door weather strips. With a straight face, he told me it was $600! I gave him a couple of seconds for to smile, and give me the real price. When it was clear he was serious, I thanked him, picked up my teeth, and left. Any advice on where to purchase replacement?

Has anybody else had any issue with the female fitting on your trans cooler lines at the front of the truck behind the bumper? I’ve owned my truck for 2.5 years and I’ve probably replaced it 5-6 times. It’s the quick disconnect line it’s keeps leaking out of the fitting

I have never understood why Dodge used the systems that it does to control the Heat / AC diverter door. The vacume devise is at best overly complex. I'm wondering why an old fashoned push/pull cable would not be better. Why not re-engineer it? "Choke cables" are cheap.

First post! Did the search and couldn't find the answer. I have a slow fuel leak around the rubber fuel heater seal on top of fuel filter canister. Can I seal it with something or just yank it out and replace it? No diagram in my Haynes manual. Developed same time my raptor pump jumped up about 5 psi. I adjusted it back, but the leak has not slowed. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

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

I installed my heated leather seats but still haven't wired the heating part of them. The seat is out of a 2001 gas truck and mines a 2002 diesel so the harnesses are different. I'm just wondering how aftermarket heated seats work in relation to I believe you just wire a power source to them, but what tells them to shut down after reaching a certain temperature? I'm wondering if I can in fact just power the heating element and not worry about it burning up if it's not wired to the computer of my truck? Would make it a heck of alot easier if I could just do that
