2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Hi Guys,Need some front end parts. Pass side out tie rod. Decided to go with a Moog because it was called problem solver. Sort of expensive, 70 bucks or so with tax.Now I still need to get both ball joints on the drivers side & a steering stabilizer. Any words of advice? What did you guys use as replacement parts? Is it better than OEM?Thanks,Dave

hey hey, just bout to start using 2-stroke engine oil with my fuel and thought id change my fuel filter. just wondering what filter everyone uses while running 2-stroke with there fuel? thx for the input!

Is there a check valve, or similar flow directional device, between the lift pump and the fuel filter? I am trying to understand what I can about this area of the fuel system, before I remove the lift pump to further investigate the problem. So far, I have been unable to get any flow through the filter housing.I ensured there is fuel to the lift pump, but I do not see any fuel flowing through the filter housing. This was done by pressurizing the fuel tank and witnessing fuel at the pump fitting. And the fuel filter cap was removed to determine if any fuel flow after the lift pump as it was not witnessed at the banjo test port fitting .I have been using the bump proced…

OK,So my valve cover has not taken the test of time very well. In fact it looks unsightly. When I do the valve adjust, I'd like to clean up & resore the lettering or maybe just clear it all after its been cleaned. Much of the clear coat is chipped away. Anyone done this? What products should I use? Wire wheel on a die grinder to clean maybe? And?Thanks,Dave

I'm thinking about all that has been written about replacement headlights, added off road lighting, etc and comparing with my many years ago experiences where I replaced the OEM lights with "off road" replacements. Sure the off road lights were more powerful but that is only half the story. The other half is the precision ground optics that went with it. The optics allowed for the lights to be aimed higher with no scatter. Now those sealed beam replacements were "universal fit" just install & re-aim. I see neet LOOKING after market lights for the Dodge... but it the optic quality up to the task? Anybody have experience with this?Thanks,Russ

Ok my son and his friend and I where talking stacks and I said the single slant cut looked good and I was informed that I was,let me see- old, out of touch,senile, that it would'nt look good on my wheel chair. Ok now I am pissed so what do yall think.

I am trying to get my oil report on here it is real interisting. I called and they said there could be silicon from RTV sealer and the lead :confused: I dont know for sure.

Hi all,I was pulling my 6x12 enclosed trailer around this weekend with two 4 wheelers was doing great, even the sometimes dead pedal went away on the trip home, 150 miles.On my last brake to my road my two warning lights came on. The truck still stops but pedal travel seems to be a little more.I was going to check the fluid first & then see how much brake pad I have left. Anything else? :confused: Dave

Ok here is the problem i have. The last owner of my truck installed or built, which i am not sure, a gooseneck hitch. IMO this thing is somewhat overbuilt but hey it works. When doing so he welded it to the frame, and to the bed sheet metal. So in other words the bed is not removable. I have flirted with the idea of removing the hitch all together but that is somewhat difficult at the moment with no access to air tools. Besides the hitch seems to have been used a lot and doesn't look like it ready to quit so why replace it with a something else that would require repairing or replacing the bed. Any way as i said earlier i have no access to air tools. I do have a f…

My hydroboost has been leaking for sometime and since its such a fine spray of high pressure fluid it has made a mess out of the drivers side fender area. The brakes work fine, the power steering does wine from time to time when the fluid starts getting low though. It seems a shame to replace the whole unit when the leak is just between the master and the hydroboost. Anyone ever reseal one of these? I found some kits here http://www.piratejack.net/Hydro-Boost-Rebuild-Kits.html Kit 50 is what the Cummins Ram's need.

I've been looking around for some time for some additional lighting. Anyone install aftermarkets in their Sport model. I;m not sure of the mounting. Looked at a non sport model, one that was on a lift, looks like there was a mounting place for a factory bracket. Any ideas?Thanks, Dave

I have a '99 24v 5.9 auto tranny and I need a apps connector. I have checking different wrecking yards with no luck.Does anybody know where I can get one.I live in Spokane, WA area. thank you

My truck is a 2002 2500 HO NON sport truck. For Christmas my wife bought me some of the projector lights (also called angel eye headlights). Before installing the lights I bought the heavy duty wire harness from LMC truck. The one with the relays and pulls its power from the battery. I have installed this harness already. This headlight kit converts the single bulb 9004 to an H1/9005 setup (like the sport model). To make the system work properly, the instructions say to swap the high beam and ground pins in the headlight harness plug. My question is, there are 3 wires in the harness but, which wires I need to swap to make this lights perform properly. Also.. what is the t…

Hi Guys, I've noticed the rubber on my OEM Michelin's is getting down... admittedly I don't go off road except on the grass but occasionally the roads will have a crap load of snow on them. I am really NOT sold on the current trend to low sidewall tires on trucks. So what's decent snow rubber, that won't break the bank... Russ

my meck. says that I need a new track bar. just replaced steering box and steering pump. any suggestions on which to use? are the bushings replaceable?

How do you get your scan guage to show fuel flow when idling? When my truck is idling it will show no fuel flow until i start moving and put a small load on the motor

Probably wondering why I mounted backup lights on my rear axle. Simple... I originally had mounted a set of driving lights on the back bumper. About a year later while I was out in the woods collecting fire wood I back up over a pile of rocks and crushed a light. Well in the near future I start thinking about new locations to mount the new lights. So after hunting around the truck for a spot that won't get hit. I found the rear axle. The light as guarded by the axle while you rolling forward and the are also guarded by the sway bar while backing up. Contact me for information on ordering a Backup light kit.

Hi All, The broken E brake... I brought up in my General Topics post viewtopic.php?f=23&t=382 I can see the front cable is moving in & out with the pedal. There's no resistance. I dragged a hunk of cardboard out & took a quick look under the truck. On the drivers side, outside the frame rail the front is connected to the drivers side rear. There's a thin rusted bracket attached to the rear cable but it's adrift. The attachment for the passengers side is there but not attached to anything. A push / pull cable requires the cover to be anchored at both ends. I imagine the rusty bracket was welded to something. The truck is very rusty underneath…

Well gang... I got a write now for the CCD netwrok and how it operates. So for those of you that have the CCD error on your overhead console and weird problems with the ABS/Brake lights and maybe the gauge cluster I would day its a CCD network problem...
