2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

I'm resealing my hydroboost and these items popped out in my hand when I took the last bolt out. Can someone tell me how they go back in and am I missing anything. Thank you I assume it goes like this back in the hole.

Hi, Correct one problem, along comes the next. Guess that's why these trucks are called a Labor of Love. I tried to use the Cruise Control. All it does is illuminate the ABS and Brake warning lights. I know I'm not the first. Leaky

I cannot get the old rubber hose that covers the evaporater's metal lines off. The new one did not come with them. Does anybody know where I can buy some replacements or what I can use instead? Thanks.

So since I got this truck over a year and a half ago and ever since it's had a very sloppy gas pedal. The first picture is it resting against the cable stop, the second is being supported by my foot, third is a picture of where it rests on the stop unsupported and fourth shows it being supported where I'm pretty sure it should be. Could it be they put in the throttle cable of a V8 or V10? I checked the "Throttle Body" for lack of a better word, and that spring is tight and not sloppy in there so I don't know what is wrong. Doesn't really effect performance just kinda annoying. Any advice helps. Thanks!

Replacing the evaporator core and heater core on my 98 24 valve truck. I have everything loose except the 2 bolts under the dash. There is a cable going to the blend door from the heat and cool knob that I cant figure out how it comes loose. I can pull the cable loose from the door but how do I get it loose from the box. I have a bad habit of breaking stuff. Also having a hard time finding the vacuum line that unplugs from the drivers side. I can't see good enough anymore to do a lot of things. Thanks for any help.

LMC or Geno's for a replacement cover? Price/quality/fit?

Ok I installed a new blower motor and new resistor (rock auto), Installed Friday. Checked everything working good Previously my AC Blower would sometimes not go on, then go on a few miles or more down the road Sunday after a trip to the store , Start truck to head home and the blower motor doesnt go on again. Damn it ! I mess with on and off switch and speed switch nothing, pull into get fuel about 1 mile away and the blower goes on. Worked fine the rest of the way home. At home I pulled and reinstalled both the relay (under the hood) and the fuse(side of dash) everything good and blower is working fine now still …

I recently noticed that I had power steering fluid leaking from the weep hole on the bottom of the hydro booster of my 01 Dodge 2500. So I ordered the seal kit containing the inner seal and figure 8 seal. The install went as follows: Pumped the brake 3 times, unbolted the master cylinder from the hydro booster, unbolted the brake booster, removed the 3 power steering lines, and then removed the hydro booster and brake booster in one piece. I then separated them and replaced the seals while making certain that the inner seal actually went around the piston and didn't tear. I bolted the 2 housings back together then put the spring, rod, and washer back in befo…

Had this issue before. , So just starting a new thread I have been leaving my AC knob switch on position and my AC blower had been going on all the time when I start the truck Last couple days it sometimes it doesnt go on when I turn the ignition on and drive my truck . But a few miles down the road all the sudden it will go on Sometimes the blower fan will go on in a minute or so and just a mile or so, sometimes I might drive 10-15 miles 20 minute and then the blower fan will all the sudden finally go on This happens no matter what speed the blower motor is set too. So I dont think its that resistor issue I saw …

Got to school yesterday and noticed my passenger side rubber floor mat looked a bit wet, so I lifted it up and loan behold my carpet was soaked. I grabbed some paper towels and soaked it up a bit while I was at school and hurried home and pulled some of the carpet up and stuck a dehumidifier in the passenger seat overnight. Just went out and checked it and it has dried the carpet but that insulation is still a bit wet. Anyone know any cool tricks to drying a carpet in a truck? Tried taking the passenger seat out but found out its spot welded to everything else and didnt feel like taking it all out because of the mess and it was late. Anything helps, thanks! ED…

Just thought this might help someone when they decide to build their own bumpers. These were somewhat simple to build and didn't cost that much, mainly time. Main brackets that bolt to the frame are one piece and go all the way through bumper, that way you don't have to rely on how good your welder is. I ended up making main brackets out of 1/2" because that's what I had laying around. Front bumper is 1/4" except very bottom where its 3/16. Rear bumper is 4x8x1/4" tube. I don't have measurements, because I just built them as I went, most of it is eye baled and within 1/8" of side to side front to back. I didn't want winches permanently mounted anywhere that is why I put …

Anybody know of places to get "hard" to get parts? LMC (in 2012 book, but discontinued now, washer nozzle Geno's Auto part store Junk yard Backyard relics JC Whittney (sometimes stuff others dont have) NAPA (local napa, have part number on hand because if low priced item, they care less) OK...Question ..is there any places that specialize in dodge parts I didnt list.

Hi, I'm in England and have a 98.5 24v 2500 4x4 It has a problem with the CTM, some plank had originally connected the drivers door lock wire the wrong way round so drivers unlocked, passengers locked and vises versa so put that right and noticed at the drivers door window switch someone had soldered resistors into the door lock wires ?? I have a 3500 5.9V8 of the same year so pulled the door panel off and checked it, no resistors so I removed them from the 2500, now both doors would only unlock so fitted both drivers and passenger switches from the 3500, it was still the same, I did notice that the passenger window motor now works from the drivers switch so proved …

I just put new rotors, calipers, pads on all 4 corners of my truck. The pedal feels hard after maybe an inch of travel. It used to feel alot smoother and soft (not mushy) is this normal? Yes I got all the air out of my brake lines. Could this be a hydroboost related?

Thanks To Heavy Duty Specialists, Omaha Ne., Vanderhaggs Council Bluffs Ia. in helping me with what I needed to make this work. Donaldson exhuast, Grand Rock pipes.

Has anyone built an on board air compressor type of a deal on their trucks? Im looking for ideas... One of the guys @ work has a bagged Toyota & he suggested some of those compressors. It looks like that might be an option..... It seems to me that there might be a belt driven option for the Cummins motor for other uses....... I could not find anything that might be a good solution.

Anyone have recommendations on a new gearbox? I’m sick of 3 inches of steering wheel slop lol. Napa has a reman box for 179$ plus core but not sure if a reman is ok?

I 'thought' I had started a thread on Cab Lights before, but the search turned up nada.. At any rate, I installed clear lens/amber LED cab lights this past weekend. My truck did not have them from the factory, so I bought some EuroLite 9-LED ones for a Ford, from eBay for $70 delivered. I liked the Ford-style ones better, so that's what I went with. They arrived in a box, no instructions, no packaging, only an invoice, lights, and packing peanuts... Since my truck didn't have cab lights, I had to drill.. In a nutshell: [*]Drop headliner (phillips screws hold visors, pinch clips for overhead console, T20 for pass. side grab-handle, T20 for…

I like having my exhaust backpressure gauge, but right now its just a loose gauge by my gear shifter. My cheap-o glowshift pyrometer gauge crapped out (I still have the Edge pyrometer which is the one I monitor) so I'm thinking of replacing the pyrometer gauge in my A-pillar pod with an exhaust back pressure gauge to clean things up and make it easier to see. From what I can tell, the only difference between a mechanical air pressure, boost, or exhaust pressure gauge from Autometer ore Isspro is the letters on the face of the gauge and the exhaust back pressure gauge comes with a length of copper tubing (which I don't need because I have a stainless part that came with …

Finally, I'll be looking into replacing the power steering pump. Not that it quit pumping. The reservoir is leaking. The seal between the pump body and reservoir can is weeping fluid out and leaving signs of power steering fluid on the floor after a night.
