2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Seems like I got a few problems dropped on me all at once. This time I found that the A/C is leaking back into the cab. I noticed a wet brown colored spot next to the passenger seat and began to investigate. After looking, it seems that the vent tube(?) inside the engine bay is leaking back into the cab. I felt what seemed like a foam oring/seal around the tube in the engine bay and it was soaked. After I pulled the carpet up in the cab I could see that water was coming from the same area inside. Right now I soaked up as much as I could with towels and went and got some damp rid. I figured I would let it dry out for a few days and then try and silicone the tube in …

I like to run rain guards however only have the passenger side on now, drivers side cracked so I took it off. I am seeing a lot of in channel rain guards that share the same space as your window, the one I have now is mounted above the window. What is everybody running? Thanks.

Is there any reason why these would not bolt up to my 1995 2500 12v 4x4? I mean the set of A/T tires alone costs $1000 these days, the newer wheels would be sharp in my opinion. https://gainesville.craigslist.org/wto/6086617428.html

Hey guys, Okay surfing around the internet and on this site (Mike's truck), I've been inspired to add some lights to my rig. I'm going to get the Napa 50-620w-3 light housings with the 50w bulbs in them. I've thought about adding the 100w 4509 bulbs but think I'll wait for now as I feel the two 50 watts lights will be plenty for me at this time. So what I want to do is run the lights to a switch so I can have them flip on by the switch separately or come on with the high beams.... Is this possible?? Or should I say possible without running a million wires everywhere? What they look like: http://www.yotatech.com/f127/auxiliary-back-up-lamps-75744/ And just in case yo…

Drivers side door sounds like creaky old wooden porch. I've changed a couple over the years on different cars. 2nd gens have big door. I see "doorman" brand has them. Not overly impressed with "doorman" quality, but don't know of better quality brand. Anything I should be aware of?

When ever I drive my truck in the rain my water in fuel light will come on. It will then go off when I drive when its dry. Is there a sensor that gets wet and turns it on? Any suggestions?

Morning Gents, As you guys might or might not know, I use my truck to tow my enclosed trailer out to the desert to ride in our dune buggy. I just bought a new buggy that consumes QUITE a bit more fuel than the last one did. I was getting away with 20 gallons/weekend, but this is not getting it any longer. so......... what Im looking for are options to take gas out with us. In a perfect world, it would be ~30 Gallons. fit across the front of the bed under the rear window. be removable, so I dont lose more space in an already too short bed when we are not out in the desert. have a pump & hose so I could fill up t…

Does anyone have the wiring pinout for the insterment cluster 1999 dodge ram 2500 diesel auto trans? I'm looking for help on the 4x4 light indicator that does not work however the 4x4 is ingaged and working, just no light. I checked the light its selt and it lights. just no signal at the switch at the CAD. Thanks

Howdy again all so it's been about a year and a half or 10k mile's since i put on new Brake pads front and rear. and they are begining to squell when i apply them so guess it's time for new one's but, while i'm into it the factory rotor's probaly would like to be relived of duty after 200k mile's. I've been looking around and Found this website from a friend who use's it and like's them http://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/Premium-Dimpled-and-Slotted-Brake-Rotors.php . I want the best one's since i'm towing alot of weight most the time so the Drilled and slotted one's are a must. Comparing number's to number's with Napa and this site they are the same other then the m…

I am wanting to replace my carpet and seat covers for something that is easier to clean. I do alot of mechanic work and trail riding so when i get ready to go home i put a sheet over all seats for everyone to ride, I would like to wipe them off and next day get in with dress cloths. Dose anyone have any recommended sites or ideas?

Alright, so I was giving this a though and tried to think of where I could get my hands on one ofr the dodge. I fancy the custom bumpers for our trucks and like the thought of being able to have a winch setup and some extra protection while going in the mountains. Looking at some sites, I find that the bumpers are expensive for my liking. even if I can get a winch on them, would I even be able to put a plow on as well? I'm looking at getting a plow in the future as well and would not prefer to have to keep switiching between the two. I'm considering making my own bumpers at this rate... --- Update to the previous post... What, nobody wants to play with…

Hey guys, I'm looking for some recommendations on what ball joints U joints and wheel bearings I should get. It's for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Cummins. It has the drum brakes in the rear so I'm assuming it's the 2 wheel ABS for the wheel bearings. Just looking for something good that's not going to fail in 5k miles. And the ball joints I don't care if they're greasable or not. I've been hearing Moog has gone downhill and pretty much avoid them for the balljoints and if i'm not mistaken i've seen mopar1973man recommend duralast but I was looking them up and it appears they are manufactured by Federal mogul as well, so kinda thrown off on what brands I shoul…

i recently got my truck on the road after replacing my ecm. everything worked just fine except my cruise control. It went nutty at the same time everything else did. the cruise light burns all the time but will not set. none of the the other controls function either.I replace the clockspring while i was trying to find the original problem. there are no codes thrown either. thought i might have connected the wires backwards in the steering wheel so i reversed them, no change. Any body got any ideas?

Alright, just recently got back from hunting and I did not notice anything until I got about an hour or so away from home. When I go to brake, the truck wants to pull hard to the right. I got to literally turn the wheel about a 1/4 turn to the left to keep straight.I'm wondering if maybe it is instead the left front caliper not grabbing?I've rebuilt the front calipers about 2 years ago, did new pads and rotors as well...

Wondering if anyone has had door hinges replaced and if so on the quad cab did anything need to be done with the rear doors? Interestingly enough I am having issues on the passenger side (which rarely gets used). The sheet metal on the door is getting a little mangled around the latch from hitting the striker post (is that what it’s called?). Also if anyone had a body shop do this, can you give me an idea of cost?

I’m taking of the black tape between the front door and quad cab windows. What is a good glue remover that won’t hurt paint? I’ve tried acetone. That stuff won’t come off! Thanks!

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…

1999 3500 2WD with 4 wheel ABS Got an ABS warning light (along with a brake warning light). Rear sensor was replaced by previous owner - no fix. Took to dealer to run the diagnostics, results point to a R/H front ABS wheel sensor. Before I order the part (OEM MSRP = $200), I was wondering if there was a method to check the sensor with a meter or something. Is it possible that the sensor is just dirty with brake dust, or do the connectors get corroded? I guess I could compare the ohms resistance reading from the rt front with the value taken from left front. Any other tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe in St Louis --- Update to the previo…

I have a 2012 dodge 3500 steering system. I’m wondering if you guys know if it’ll fit right on or not before I take it off the truck. I’ve heard some of them are too long and sometimes you need to bore out some holes. Let me know what you guys figure. Looking to put it on my 2000 2500

My hood insulation is sagging badly especially in the area where my BHAF is going to be. Anyone got any ideas on how best to re-attach it? I was thinking maybe some type of glue, however, the heat might cause glue to melt. Any info will be appreciated.MOHOK
