2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

I came across an article about a track bar repair called "Luke's Link". It is supposed to rebuild the worn end of the track bar better than stock and be adjustable should it ever loosen up. Cost is $69 at Vulcan Performance.Has anyone tried this?I have a friend who is about to buy a track bar and I thought of telling him about this, but thought I would check to see if anyone has tried it yet.

Ok so we all know that our trucks have horrible steering slop and play. Well mine was all normal and crappy then the other day my steering wheel popped when turning out of my drive away and now my steering is so bad I cant drive. If i hit a bump it shoots my truck into the other lane and j have to turn my wheel almost 180 degrees to correct it. I noticed that the shaft at the steering box where the steering shaft bolts to is almost like its stripped out in the steering shaft. Does anyone know if the steering shaft collar or the spline on the gear box are aluminum? I should probably replace both of them but money is tight right now.

Damn , some of these are expensive Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced (good cheap $) windshield sun shade and where to get one for 2nd gen dodge trucks? walmart?

Well guys,Was not a good week last week in Phoenix. We had a massive hail storm here, dropping hail up to tennis ball sized. Truck was where it always is, out in the drive. My garage is too small for the truck. The entire truck is now peppered with small to medium sized dents. Glass made it fine but all the rest of the sheet metal, especially on the left hand side is peppered. House as well, with almost $5000 in damage there.They are now offering me to total it out and take the truck and give me $11.5k cash. Other option is to total the truck and put a "salvage title" on it with me keeping the truck and giving me about $7.5k in hand. First off I like the truck and really …

Hey guys. Sorry to write another thread, but I'm needing to get some things fixed and need a little help. 1st: powersteering pump. So Genos garage has a new, not rebuilt borgeson steering pump for my truck. I believe its 800328. I've thought about just resealing mine, but there is more going on to it than I think a re-seal will do. Fluids smell burnt, its leaking, and it whines and groans prett bad, especially in the morning. 258k miles I'm sure it's about done. They have the same pump on amazon, but the reviews arent pretty. So I'm not sure what to do here, I dont want to take a risk and buy a piece of crap. While it's out, I'll be …

Just acquired a nice bone stock 98 12v and having issues with the fuel gauge. Drove it 1700 miles home so ran a few tankfuls of fuel through it. Seems to be sending unit related as it does fine till 7/8 tank then dances for a while then holds steady from 3/4 through 3/8 tank then dances again. Can’t find the sending unit in stock anywhere. Are there any options? Retrofit another sending unit or fitment of a fuel tank from an early 24v? thanks vin 3B7KF22D1WG106674

Just when I thought my truck was pretty sorted Indicate to make a left turn and the wipers come on and stay on until the turn signal is off, all ok when indicating right, hopefully just a problem in the turn switch or wiring around the column, indicator doesn't come on when using either wash/wipe or wipe

Do all our trucks have these ? how to tell ?If not - I see them for sale all the time - can u upgrade ? Thx

So, my driver's side headlight is ok. well, as good as expected from the non-sport housings.. My passenger's side headlight, however, is PERFECT... ... for coon hunting, or anything else that is NOT on the road in front of you. It shines light everywhere but on the street.. It's not a dull lens, it's not out of alignment (per little headlight aligner dooka-ma-hitchie at the service joint.. It just refracts light, completely oblivious to anything resembling 'focused'. I'm gonna go out on a limb, and try swapping bulbs left/right to see if that does anything (doubtful) but it totally sucks to drive in the dark hours.. I'll try to get a pict…

Having to change front brake pads, with 270000 mi. Ive changed them more time than I can remember, I would like to hear some opinions on different pads, there is quite a price range on them at places like autozone, orielys and napa, from about 30 dollars to 90.00 dollars, I tow a lot and cant quite afford what it really needs, ( jake brake) I just tore into it today because of a leaky caliper to find out it has a broken piston so this on my list to do.

Sometimes when I turn my AC / heater on off knob on there is a delay for it to go on. Not all the time but once in awhile. Usually if its on and I turn the ignition switch on it goes on normally. After you drive about 30 sec 1 minute or so the ac and blower will then go on Its not the blower fan speed knob but the top on/ off knob Anyone had this issue? Bad blower motor resistor?

Looking for advice whether I should buy and flip or keep this truck. 1997 12 valve 345k Miles 170on rebuilt engine and trans and rear end. Runs good shifts good. Needs hood bumper and radiator which he will throw in for 3500$ Has fiberglass cap and is 2wd. Buy it or nah?

Took my truck in for an alignment and they told me they had a problem with the tie rod flopping back and forth when the steering wheel is turned. I also have a sort of “dead spot” in my steering while driving where the steering wheel turns a couple inches but nothing happens. I have what I think is called the “T” style steering system. The tie rod goes across from knuckle to knuckle and the drag link attaches to the tie rod. Maybe the HD style?? Anyways what can I do about the tie rod rolling? All the steering parts are fairly new and not worn.

installed and works good for $25 the oem unit will be for sale in the classifieds.

I've been avoiding spending money on a dash, but it seems that my fiberglass job from 6-7 years ago is starting to fall apart. Been looking at Geno's and LMC also my bezel seen better days too so I'll be getting that at same time. I know @dripley used LMC and said he liked it, how do you like it now? Still happy and all? By the time I put dash and bezel in checkout with shipping from LMC to my door, estimate is $418 Seems pretty steep for some plastic and not even sure if LMC is plastic or abs or whatever it's made out of, looks like good reviews thought. I wanted to try some sort of leather or fake leather and glue it on top of the dash to keep it all together, b…

If I was goign to weld traction bar brackets to the frame of truck ....... what size would I need to have enough juice ..... thats thick metal !! http://www.harborfreight.com/80-amp-inverter-arc-welder-91110.html

So, I didn't want to spend any more money than I needed too, but I did need to run a boost gauge between the primary and secondary, to see what my primary is lighting at. I already had a boost gauge, pyro, and fuel pressure. I still had my autometer mechanical 0-60 boost gauge, so I didn't have to spend any more money on that, and I still had the old A pillar 2 gauge mount. After some quick cutting and fitting, here's what it turned out to be-notice anything different? My own Dodge 4 gauge pillar pod!

Hopefully replacing my power steering pump tomorrow. There is a threaded pressure line at the bottom of the pump and then I think 2 return lines to the pump from the booster and gearbox. If they are both return lines, does it matter which stub the hoses are attached to on the pump? I was reading IBMobiles filter article and I may have my return lines crossed, but in theory it shouldn't matter. I also have a filter on the line coming from the booster to the pump where IBMobile has it on the line from the gearbox?

Sounds like a lot of people done this, and my breaks are wearing fin. Does anyone know a place to get (5093268 AA and 5093270 AA front caliper brackets). Aside from dealer, I tried researching it but did not come up with much. I think I might buy pads and rotors from local parts store as they have life time warranty on most of their stuff, but brackets might be not as easy to find. Any help appreciated.

I'll start my own thread. I finally ditched my old Kenwood Stereo MP3 player. I got to the point I gave up on cutting MP3 discs and audio CD's. I start just using the cellphone. Bit just an awful lot of plugging and unplugging the cellphone just for music. I was hunting around and there is a lot of double DIN stereos out there. Then there is lot of single DIN with flip up screens. I couldn't find any of the flip down screens. I focus back to a single DIN stereo with bluetooth. I stumbled across CACA In Dash Stereo on Amazon for a whole $38 bucks. I was kind of skeptical because of it cheap China made stereo. I'll admit the there are no instructions for this stereo. Basic …
