2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Discussion of the 1994 to 2002 2nd Generation Dodge Ram Trucks with 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel non-power train. This includes interior, air conditioning, heating, lighting, body, suspension, brakes, stereos, etc.

  1. So I got the retrofit led headlights from the hid factory with the morimoto led. I put them in and nothing worked they said move the pins around in the 3 prong plug that plugs into the stock headlight plug in so I did and I got the low beams to work now and the high beams with no problems. But now I cant get the lights to shut off with the switch any ideas on what to try now. The only way I can get the lights to shut off is pull the fuse from the fuse box under the hood but they still flicker very faintly. The hid factory said that I'm on my own and they have never heard of the problem. Thanks

    I am in the market for a track bar as the title would imply. However im looking into this dodge offroad place. http://store.dodgeoffroad.com/ he's got a ton of options and customization for lift kits etc. I like his design. He's claiming a 100% success rate or i think he actually says he's got a 0% failure rate. My truck is lifted and i definitely use my truck but i try to take care of it. I hate cheaping out on certain things that I know are notorious for problems. Im just seeing if I cant gather a couple opinions.

    Hi, I am new to the forums and I’m sure there might actually be a post on here for what I’m looking for and maybe there isn’t. Anyways I have a 99 2500 with the 24v with regular powered leather seats. I have done research as far as what year dodge started with the optional power heated seats and what years have the electrically locked seatbelt restraint and etc. I have purchased donor seats out of a truck that was the top of the line in 00 which included obviously power heated seats, heated mirrors and even steering wheel controls for the radio. I also purchased the wiring that includes the complete dash harness including the heater switches for the seats, body control mo…

    Hello. I'm going to replace tierod and draglink and I'm confused about Moog part numbers. I think I have T-style steering in my 98 4x4 and don't want to order wrong parts because returning parts from Finland takes time and costs big money. Thank you.

    I know this is going to sound weird but..... There is water leaking out between the panels where they are welded together. It is dripping out right there where those 4 pieces of metal are laying on each other. This is directly under the passenger seat. Where the heck is the water coming from??? The only thing that makes sense is the AC but not really..... It does not have any coolant in it.... I didn't wash the truck, it had not rained, etc etc.... Stumped in San Diego.

    This might not be exiting to all but for the past 4+ years a comination of silicone caulk and duct have done one hell of a job holding my dash bezel together and on the dash. Just could never justify the $195 price tag due other things being maintained. I got nice bonus check for job in Maryland and pulled the trigger. My view will be forever changed. Merry belated Christmas Chicken Man.

    In search of new bulbs and headlight assemblies. What are the best combo packs for those dark nights? And winter nights.. LED'S or HID's? Preferably something that isn't going to cost a fortune. Amazon works the best. Drop web links, please.

    Hi All, New to me Truck. I was removing the Edge Transmission Temp sensor Wire when crawling out I noticed that the top bolt in the 4 link #4 in Illustration was backed out, right hand side. Aside from screwing back in with Locktitie is there a way to unload the link so I don't Screw it up? I assume (That word.) that Jack it up and support the frame and then just unscrew locktite it and back in she goes?

    Well, gang, I've been getting a rear end clank for some time typically as a released the clutch. Then the last trip to Ontario, OR I detected small vibration. I figured its just got to be a U-joint. While I was in Ontario, OR I picked up two U joints since not too long ago I did the post about changing the rearmost u-joint without dropping the driveshaft. Now after replacing the middle and forward u-joint I did find that both u-joints were in a serviceable condition somewhat. I did find the middle u-joint had roller bearing wear marks in the trunion and created just enough slack that I could detect the vibration. Sad but true I still had the clank. Now after checking agai…

    I'm stumped... I installed my new headlights a month or so ago and adjusted them accordingly. But the more I raised the beam and pulled it inward the more the housing would become misaligned with the fender opening. Hopefully the picture helps explain what I mean. These are OEM replacements and unless there's something else going on which I cant visually identify, so I should be able to get them straight like the factory lights were. Trying to figure this out, I remembered there's an adjustment on the top middle of the housing but.....its not accessible unless you remove the entire housing. Seriously??? Who thought that one up? Does anyone know …

  18. Where I'm heading with this is my 2000 Accord has a button to turn ac on and off also it has a button for fresh and recycled air, which is very nice. I have full control over it. So I'm wondering if anyone put a button or a switch at least for ac, so when you have it on defrost in winter then ac compressor doesn't run and not only that heat is not the greatest like we all know it just would make sense to not have ac on. No I know when there is moisture ac helps defrost in that case you can always turn it on but for the most part I'd be leaving it off. And not sure on recycled/fresh air door if it could be put on a switch. I don't see why not for ether just haven't l…

  20. I have a Mityvac 6840 brake bleed kit that I am trying to bleed the brake system on my 2002 Ram. None of the brake bleed adapter reservoir lid adapters in the kit work. Has anyone used the Mityvac 6480 to bleed their brake system and if so, which brake bleed adapter did you use for this kit. The Dodge Ram 2nd Generation is only one of the most popular pickup trucks in American automotive history........you would think they would include the brake bleed adapter for this vehicle!!! Thanks in advance for any replies and help!
