So my OD hasn't worked in a while and I just had my transmission built a few months ago. Took it to the shop and they said this wire is the reason it's not working. Could this be it? It's a twisted pair wrapped. I haven't found any spot where it could connect to, and I've searched top to bottom. Any help would be appreciated

The other day I noticed my front calipers were rattling around and after a quick look I found that the bottom guide rod bushings had fallen out. I replaced the calipers ~6 months ago so I know the rubber bushings aren’t dry rotted. All the bolts are tight and there is no abnormal wear that I can see. Any idea what could have caused this to happen? This is what the bushings look like. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dhb-hw5606?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkePyBRCEARIsAMy5Scv3bFSBEYEsdiEE4aaPXLpv_t15IJVUxQqcwGCP8H7iIcHuCx14kAsaArlKEALw_wcB

Hope this is helpful for y'all. For anyone that has an 00-02 Cummins with dual piston calipers up front and is in the market for front brakes, the 3rd gen brake upgrade is highly recommended. Everything is a direct bolt on. All you need is 03-07 caliper brackets, pads and rotors.. And if you have rear disc, you can do 3rd gen brakes in the rear too. The picture of the pad comparison isn’t my picture(forgot to take one), but shows you how much more surface area there is. And then the 3rd gen rotors are about an 1”+ bigger in diameter. This also requires 17”+ wheels. I went with the Stage 3 EBC Rotor and Pad kit which has drilled and slotted rotors and their Type 7000 Green…

I bought a 1999 2500 / Cummins 5.9, Quad Cab, 8' bed recently with a few issues. I got the engine running and replaced all the brakes (Rotors & Pad up front, Drums, Shoes, & Wheel cyls in the back). The parking brake didn't work when I bought the truck and it still does not work. * I have checked and double checked both rear brakes for assembly errors and found none. * I performed the rear drum brake adjustment with the parking brake cable very loose * I have tried to follow the cable adjustment procedure in the 1998 & 2001 factory service manuals but they really don't make sense. The procedures are essentially the same in the two…

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

Been dealing with some mid 20's temps of late. Fire the truck in the am and the steering pump is moaning and groaning. Thats not to surprising to me since the pump is the OE pump and could stand a fluid change. The weird part is I drive about a mile from the house to get coffee and its moaning and groaning the whole way. Park, get coffee then jump in the truck fire it off and no moaning and groaning, not a sound. Drive 25 miles to the and still nothing. Not complaining but it does seem weird that after a mile of it complaining, all I have to do is shut it down and restart and it quits complaining.

Guys, My Spanish it terrible, but I found this video very informative on how the VP mechanically works on our engines. I wonder who developed this (it looks like bosch, or someone did a really nice job of making solids of everything.) and why there is not an English version. I think most of you will like it. Hag

I have been looking for some cheap 17" wheels and ran across 5 H2 Hummer wheels for $125. The guy had a white rust free rear door for $100 so i got it too. Found a HX35 with 50k on it for $200 shipped. I have to quit spending money on this thing.

Is there a simple way to reduce the two inch lift in the front of my truck to one inch lift? Or should I do it again with one inch spacers? Thanks for any thoughts. I have the adjustable trac bar and saved the factory end links so it's easy that way anyhow.

Ok, I backed my truck out of my shop to idle it for awhile to check on what was leaking from my turbo gasket when the PacBrake in on, I had noticed that when I shut off ignition my low fuel pressure light on my gauge would stay on as well as my "brake" light was also dimly lit, well while idling yesterday the "Airbag" light came on, I switched the Pass airbag off and the light went out, so I figure I have something in that circuit wrong, then I notice my blower fan was staying on with ignition off, as if these issues wasn't enough all the dash lights came on "check engine" "check gauges" as well as "no bus" in the odometer Haven't even started to dig into this, not sure …

I swapped a 98.5 24v into my 01. Now no headlights, taillights, dashlights, or parking lights. I'm thinking it has something to do with the switches being different between the years, any help would be great. I'm self employed and this is my company truck and need it to go down the road.

Hello. I found some 2018 Ram 2500 Bilstein shocks here locally, for cheap, will these bolt up to my 2001 2500 long bed 4x4 truck, with little modifications? The rears is what I’m after, but if fronts fit as well, then bonus.

I finally installed a on/off/auto switch for my A/C. I get tired of the compressor cycling on and off while the truck is idling and now I have control of what vent selection it is on and off. While I was at it I decided to put in a switch for my lift pump. It is only used for priming and I didn't like the idea of the hobbs switch. I had no control and no indication if it was on. So, I simply disconnected the wires from the hobbs switch and installed an illuminated toggle switch. I didn't want to drill holes in the dash, bezel or anything else so I made a bracket and it attaches on 2 existing screws that secure the kick panel. I am happy with it so far.
