2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

I recently purchased an 01 regular cab 6speed 4x4 Cummins. The front measures approximately 4” lower than the rear. Is this normal? I don’t have the extra blocks and spring that I believe is the camper special? I just have 3 leafs, with 1 overload underneath, and a 4-3/4 block under the leaf pack. Is 4” a factory amount of rake in these trucks? Are my front coils just warn out? I’m measuring 25-25.5 in front and 29-29.5 in rear. I do have a slightly heavier front bumper. I was going to add a coil spacer to get it closer to level but that will still leave me 1.5-2” low in the front. Which isn’t bad but I want to make sure my coils aren’t warn. What are you stock measuremen…

Where is the best place to send my PCM for repair.My PCM actually work good except signal for AC is dead.I tested wire coming out of PCM,it is suppose to have 12v.I thing I burned out that part when chasing dead wires for something else. Thanks.

I believe I have a Vacuum leak on my 99 24v, at idle when I push on the breaks the trucks idle drops and my cruise control no longer works, I’ve checked all fuses and no blown fuses, so I figured must be vacuum, anybody have a diagram or anything of that sort where all the vacuum lines run?

Incase anyone wondered how they fit or looked inside the truck, they seem well built and should last a long time. Fit tight along the lines of the seats so they don't slide all over getting in/out or pushing clutch in.

Hey, having a issue with ac components. Today i replaced the ac compressor due to a slight grinding noise within the compressor. After changing the pump, took my truck to a shop to have it vacuumed and recharged properly. They tried to recharge the system but it did not work. The compressor and lines accepted all the nessessary R134a needed. (0.90 kg) or 32oz. The compressor started to short cycle, acting like it was low on refrigerant. Started paying attention the the low and high side gauges and immediately noticed something was wrong. Low side, started around 50-55 and drops to 20 under clutch engagement. At the same time, high side, started ar…

Hello, i have a 1997 ram 3500 Laramie plus package. So I have the tan leather interior with wood grain which I'm told is very rare for a 12v truck. I found a truck at a local junk yard that is a 1997 that has factory keyless entry and I was wondering if anyone ever added factory keyless entry to their truck or if someone has a wiring diagram of how the keyless entry is wired. I basically want factory keyless or no keyless entry. I'm not really into the aftermarket ones, it might be the easier route but that not what I want.

Do I need to get the center hub nut off and the hub out to take the rotors out ? its a 2WD solid axle setup Rotors dont have studs or hub just like a small sedan rotors do I punch the studs out ? or its comes off separate ?

Put a Pricol 0-30psi fuel gauge in when new and it's been fluctuating, especially in hot/warm weather, and pulling hard. The engine runs perfectly without a miss. I have a FASS installed and it produces 15psi steady. I'm suspecting the "isolator", the thingy that's filled with antifreeze. I'm about ready to remove the isolator and run the line directly to the gauge or just bite the bullet and change to an electric gauge. Do these "isolators" have a reputation for failure? Kind of makes me wonder when the pressure jumps around but I'm relying on the FASS to give steady pressure. Thanks. This is my first post here...

Thinking of jumping size on replacement.

My driver's side ABS sensor is bad and I'm going to replace it next week but, I seem to remember Michael saying you need to replace both front sensors at the same time or the ECM won't recognize it. Replace just the broken one or both?...they're $50 a piece.

Seeking reviews on the Isspro EVA mechanical gauges. Going to be receiving a tax refund this year so hopefully I can get me a set. I havnt noticed this line of gauges anywhere but DAP and theyre 3 times cheaper than the ev2s are they still good quality? Obviously the price difference is problably mechanical vs electric.

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.

[I've been coming to this forum for years. All my normal logins didn't seem to work, and neither did any attempts to reset passwords on any of the email addresses I use... So, created a new account. Or, maybe an account for the first time...] 2001 Ram. Over 400K miles. I just replaced the seals in my vacuum pump. Put it back together, and now it appears my power steering fluid is leaking. The leak seems to be coming from the side that faces the front of the truck (where it mounts to the vacuum pump). I didn't think power steering fluid came out of the drive shaft that fits into the vacuum pump? Thoughts?

Ok so I am able to get a set of Glow shift gauges EGT, Fuel Pressure, Boost, and three pillar pod for about $220.00. Which seems like a good price when compared to other sets. So my question is what's everybody's opinion on this particular brand? Are they good, and reliable or should I just not waste my money on them? Anybody out there with these particular gauges your experience would be greatly appreciated!

Hi CTD drivers,I was rotating my tires last week & noticed my front brake pads are beyond the 1/2 way point. I'm usually pulling something & she likes to work, at the moment a small 2 horse trailer & a slide in trk camper.My rotors are still good, factory style, look to me like they were updated w/ the last set of pads. I stop fine w/ what I have. I was driving w a 6x12 single axle enclosed trailer w 2 ATV's inside had to panic stop in the hills of WV, went around a blind curve downhill & my wife & I were both surprised how well it stopped. My reply was that's why I wanted a 3500 dually.I have no idea what's on there, so what are you guys using?Thanks,…

2001 3500 Dually. Hi all just wondering what people are using for brake fluid and if there is any specific brake fluid that is idea for steep mountain driving. I'm about to use Dot 4 on my cars as they need a fluid change and that appears to have a lower boiling point.

After 295,000 miles I finally ponied up the cash to replace my steering shaft and gearbox on my 96 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. The stock units had worn to the point that it was like driving a truck in a cheap video game. Now it feels like my Viper! Well, almost. But what a major improvement mainly with the Borgeson steering box with one full less turn lock to lock. I definetly recommend this swap for anyone with the Gen II trucks. Well worth the money.

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…

I believe it's time for shocks. I've had the death wobble happen a few isolated times and have checked everything. All steering seems tight. Can't feel any play in the ball joints either. So, I'm going to say the shocks could be at least partially to blame. At 21 years old with 165k on them I'm leaning that way. Along with the steering damper. My question is what are you running? Why did you choose them? How are they performing for you? At this point in time I'm thinking of Rancho RS5000's and the Rancho steering damper as well. Thoughts? Comments? Thanks.

So I have a spare set of seats and Console/Armrest. I don't want to change the whole seat portion, am hoping I can just pull the armrest/console off and swap them. DOes anyone know if the two big phillips screws where the armrest pivots will allow me to just pop that piece out and switch them?
