2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Hey all, I couldn't find this info here yet, so I thought I'd share. I can't claim this fix as my own, I found this video and followed the same procedure. Before doing this I had terrible wind noise from both of my doors. I tried the 2x4 trick, and adjusted the door hinges and was able to reduce the noise, but it was still an issue with strong cross winds. To do this you need three items: Fish Tape Latex tubing (I used the 3/8" ID 1/4" OD recommended in the video) Lubricant (I used a product called LiquiFix because its odorless) The procedure basically requires you to remove the weatherstripping from the truck. You th…

Today I replaced both front rotors,pads,and calipers. I also replaced my passenger side flex break line. Me and a buddy bled the breaks and I still do not have a break pedal. Break light and ABS lights have came on as a result of this. Pedal will get semi hard with the truck off but with the truck in the pedal will go to the floor.

So I built a custom truck and had buddy of mine do wiring on it and he hacked it all up. So there are like 4 wires he cut on the in cab harness and I can’t find any where they go, but I noticed the brown clip in the back of fuse panel is missing now. Idk if it was ever plugged in but can someone tell me if it is needed thank you

I was making a 4 hour drive in my truck and the brake light and abs light came on truck is a 97 2wd 5speed

Today I made an effort to diagnose loose steering in my truck and installed the "Rock Solid Steering" kit from this guy that I bought a few years ago on a whim (realized before installing that it wouldn't fix my problem, but did the install anyway). http://rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/ I have to saw the wheel back and forth quite a bit, and tightening the box as recommended didn't take much slop out, it required very little change. My intermediate steering shaft has lots of lateral slop in it at the sliding joint, but I couldn't hold one end and rotate the other relative to it (radial slop undetected). It may be replaced soon, so any sugges…

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.

I looked at it briefly but is it possible to remove just the center console? Or even move it enough to mount a stereo amp under it? I want to secure my amp to the floor under the console, would be easiest to remove it if possible. Thanks.

I'm looking at doing a fog / rear light set up like MM's. Where the heck do you find the 4" rubber buckets without the lights? I can find them with fairly cheep I think ($50 / 6) but don't really want to buy them with lamps I'm not going to use. Any suggestions? Thanks

I just rebuilt my hydro boost with a seal kit because it was leaking power steering fluid. I carefully separated the halves of it and just replaced the one oil seal that sits around the piston, and then the figure 8 seal. My hydro boost was acting normally except for the P/S fluid leak up until this point. My hydro boost is not leaking power steering fluid anymore, but now when I start the pickup or I'm moving slowly, it acts like the brakes are self applied without pushing on the brake pedal, because I can give it throttle pedal pressure and it takes more power to move the pickup now. I understand that this is most likely caused by a plugged/restricted return…

I have most of the makings for a gauge to check if EB is adjusted where it's supposed to be. The gauge, then to a grease line then to "something" that won't melt then into testing hole in EB A metal tube or hose of some sorts to fitting on eb. Thinking about using short brake line or water supply line. Just need something that won't melt. Any ideas? And anybody know if brake line fittings are NPT thread? Is household plumbing NPT?

I have a 2001 4x4 Quad Cab with 86k on it. I had a front end noise recently and took it in. They told me my ball joints were going so i had them replaced. I did notice play in them last year but with brand new tires and myself traveling constantly for work, i decided to get them done and be ready for camping season.I still have a noise coming from what seems like the front drivers side of the truck. Very noticable when I brake and turn left. It never makes the noise when turning right. Yesterday hauling home the camper, I noticed it just driving down the road and when i would brake and very noticable when braking and turning left.I am guessing a wheel bearing but no…

I'm give a bit of a spoiler to the members here. I just called Eric over at Vulcan Performance and talked to him. First off I told him Thank You for creating the bracket for me and it worked out awesome. Then I told him some of selling angles like remote mounting of the senders gives easy access for testing and sensor replacement. The Eric told me about how they are getting the design cleaned up a bit more for production. I told him what I use for materials and fittings as well as lengths of tubing. He added there might be a test schrader valve added as well. He also told me that he really hates to have anything more mounted on the engine and rather have everything r…

Will wheels from a 2011 3500 dually fit on a 1999 3500 dually? Cant find anything on the web regarding this. I would be going from a 16” wheel to a 17” wheel.

Are there any reputable made grill guards out there or are they all about the same? The 4 tabs where it bolts together are broke and its only a matter of time before it gets bad. Thanks

Use a BIG 3 jaw puller and then whacked it with a BFH. They were stuck on very tight. I don't know a better way than that. Hopefully with replacing the joints with greasable ones they won't need replaced for a long time. Or... Loosen the 4 bolts the thread a couple in part way and put and socket and extention on them and turn the wheel left or right and jam the extention into the axle and it should push them out......do each side a bit at a time and be sure to anti sieze the hub when replacing

Hi, does one one know the brand of sun visor installed on these trucks ? Thanks

To start off it off I will say I just replaced both my batteries with Interstate green top batteries about 7 months ago that have higher CA and CCAs than the last set of walmart batteries I had. Problem is that I got a new(er) truck to drive around for better fuel economy and comfort so now my truck in sig, 2001 ram 2500, is losing charge after sitting for a little while. I actually started to notice prior to getting my new truck about 3 weeks ago that even after it sat over a 2 day weekend it seemed like it took a few more turns to get it to start. This time it sat for about 2 weeks and it was completely dead when I tried to drive it this past Sunday. Any gue…

(Copied fro TDG.com) Ok guys and gals. After doing some researching and studying old pics I had, I have come up with a diagram that will show you how to wire in an external voltage regulator for when your internal regulator in the PCM quits working. Symptoms are either no charge or overcharge, however they are designed to fail in a no charge state. After insuring your alternator, batteries, and crank sensor are all good you can then use this diagram and save yourself about $800 on a new PCM. The alternator is a open field external regulated type. There fore it makes it easy to do this mod. What you will need is a voltage regulator from an 89' or older Dodge/Ch…

After a month long road trip there is a few things wrong the oddest is the heating and cooling selection. the truck is limited to either full hot, or full cold and with cold it’s AC only, not just drawing in outside air. it’s the same regardless of fan speed, it’s also gotten “stuck” on one or the other but if you leave it selected to the other long enough, or shut the truck off and turn it back on it’ll go to what is selected. any ideas? All vents work, fan speeds no issues. I also have a heater treater installed but that was put in years ago.

Just wonderind how hard it would be to convert my 99 to disc brakes? Could I use the set-up from a newer truck, just switch axles or buy a kit?
