2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Hey guys, On our trucks (01 specifically), how does a chassis ground return to the battery.? Lets I add a set of aux lights, or anything really, and I ground the piece to the frame or body. I know there are the two battery to body grounds on the drivers battery, and one (if I remember right) on the passenger battery. Are there larger ones from block to the body or frame somewhere? The reason I am asking is I am curious if you add something that has a little bit higher of an amperage draw (grounded to the frame) if there is enough ground going only through those body to battery (smallish) ground wires. Thanks John

My OEM radio was getting on my nerves. It would stop displaying the clock at random times and there was no sound from the front speakers. My wife got tired of not being able to change the radio stations because she couldn't see the display so she bought me a new Pioneer system. I connected it all up and everything works except the front speakers are still dead. I started searching Google looking for info about no front audio and it seems there is a choke relay that feeds the front speakers for the amps. I looked in the Dodge FSM and sure enough it says if there is no sound from the front speakers then troubleshoot the choke relay. I checked the wiring diagram and I …

So I just got in the truck to leave work and noticed that my turn signals are not functioning. My windshield wipers will turn on with the multi-function switch, and my hazards work. No turn signal indicator is lighting up on the dash no audible click from the blinker. Any ideas? What to check first? Well I found the cause of the problem. The compression fitting on the back of my fuel pressure gauge was leaking. Ran down the line into the interior fuse panel. Fantastic. Closed the needle valve to prevent it leaking any more for now.

I have an 01 with the factory infinity sound system and I want to put aftermarket speakers in it so does anyone have what color wires to cut splice ect

Does anyone know if the trucks are pre wired for power mirrors? So I would just need the control and power mirrors to convert the truck? https://www.ebay.com/itm/DODGE-RAM-1500-2500-3500-DURANGO-TRUCK-POWER-MIRROR-CONTROL-SWITCH-KNOB-BK-94-02/113577448786?hash=item1a71be5552:g:kwQAAOSwoN5cQ7d2 will this one work?

I replaced my brand new Napa reman box with a Bluetop and my steering is so much nicer but it is still hard to steer like the ps pump ain’t working right. Also the new box won’t return to center on its own any suggestions? I’m very satisfied with my steering other than these issues. I’m going to be going back to stock wheels and 245 tires soon hopefully that will help with handling to....

Does anyone have or has dealt with the noisy door panels? When you happen to lean on them and when you pull on them? Any good solutions? I replaced all of the clips that hold the panel on which improved the situation a little, but still noisy.

I think what I thought was an oil leak may be at least partly ps fluid. Truck parked nose down on my sloped driveway has a nice clean puddle under it, not black like normal. Looks like ps fluid.. where to start digging?..

How do i take this thing off? I took off the back 2 bolts but there seems like there's still something holding it on besides the cable. Also how do i take the cable off the latch? I'm doing this so that i can access that top bolt to replace the door hinge. I need my door back on so any help is appreciated. thank you,

Last fall I broke a leaf spring mid pack in the spring pack on the drivers side. That spring pack according to the manual needs the tank dropped ugh. So I used a heavy duty rubber strap to hold it together and it has worked fine so far. Now the passenger side broke(I would take a dirt road over how bad these paved roads are) unfortunately that one was the last spring before overload and that pack is less than 5 years old(replaced this side once already). Any suggestions to temporarily fix? Or.... Can someone please recommend a quality source for a replacement set and any suggestions for ease of removing drivers side spring would be appreciated thanks.

So last week driving along started to smell the very distinctive smell of wiring. Then the smoke came all within a few seconds. So my question is I was able to get the old resistor out but it melted the back side twords the firewall of the box . Thers 2 wires the look to have run behind the hvac box that jump off the harness going to the resistor. Does anyone know what they go too? Also the wires where so melted to the box I cant tell what color they are

LED Lighting Parts List LED marker light LED Taillight Heavy duty LED flasher As for installing it just simple change of parts. The flasher is found in your driver side of the dash. If the flasher been there a while then it might be difficult to remove. Just take your time and work the flasher it will come out. Pull the stock flasher out and plug in the new flasher. As for the taillights you need a T25 screwdriver. There are 2 screws holding each taillight in place. The outside edge is a set of pins into the body. Need to be firm but careful and pull the light straight out. Top bulbs are your tail lights simply…

Ready to use the alarm system for target practice..........if someone knows how to permanently disable the thing I would greatly appreciate it

Finally found a local source for the other alternator diode. I picked up one diode for now. Once I see a number of people wanting them I'll place an order for larger amount of them.

Needing specs or something close to the following - metal dash frame to fire wall screws/bolts I think there's 5 or 6 of them up across the top -the 2 little nuts that secure the port with all the HVAC vacuum lines, threads onto two little plastic nubs. Gonna go to the hardware store fri, I hope someone has an idea on the size at least, pics work too. Thanks fellas!

I special ordered a new turbo for my truck. I'm not sure how mush boost it's making, I don't have a gauge capable of measuring the output yet.

Alright, I guess if I am going to spend some time on the truck this weekend maybe I should open this can of worms.. None of the courtesy lights in the truck work. When I acquired the truck the previous owner said they were all fine until Best Buy put in the stereo. Something they did screwed up the lights. Is this something anyone has heard of, or has an idea of where to start? Thank You

Anybody ever use one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6V9RZR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A383C3IVZAZ90D&psc=1 Would it have to be used in conjunction with some other gizmo or can it be hooked up and a spot made for it? Hard to beat for $20!

i found water on both driver and passenger sides where i tracked it back coming from underneath the door plastics where it appears to be running down the window channels and falling through the forward most hole in the door panel. i replaced the window channel felt, and both inner and outer window sweeps with no luck. sitting inside the truck i can watch water running down both window channels but since the front access hole in the door panel is much larger and lower, it seems to only be making it through that one. Has anyone else dealt with this situation before? Thank you. 2001 dodge ram eclb 6spd, 2wd

What's everyones thoughts on using a trickle charger/ battery maintainer on my truck with the quadzilla hooked up? I know it says if I am jumping off I need I need to unhook the quad. Y'all think I'll be ok to leave it hooked up?
