2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Information Please, Does anyone know if the 1998 Dodge Ram/Cummins Dash light pull switch has a removable trailer wiring harness. Is the trailer wiring harness plug and play. Mine was altered by previous owner. If so can the oem trailer wiring harness be purchased and where? Thank you, Tom.

These are the factory hoses/lines off my early '01 3500, with 240K on the clock. ^ Side by side of the valves; field-replaceable low-side on the left, non-serviceable high-side on the right. ^ High-side valve in detail. Note the seam where the valve assembly is pressed into the bung on the line. ^ High-side part number. I assume the AA revision has something to do with the integral orifice valve, but I have nothing to substantiate that. ^ The aluminum tube section containing the orifice valve (behind the pass. side battery) is wrapped in a thick rubbery mastic and then covered in aluminum tape. There are three deep dimples in the hose t…

While installing my Fass DDRP I found a 3 wire weatherpack connector with a 3 wire weatherpack sealed cap on it. What is it for? I figured it is for a manual truck, NNS and reverse lights. My truck is an automatic.

I figure I'd let you guys and gals know I've added more information to the tire pressure article. Also more photos of tire profile vs. pressure. More to come when I got a chance. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/35-exterior/354-tire-inflation-formula

I've had a leak in this area for awhile now, and today I broke down to rebuild the booster. In the process of removal of things, I found my leak is only between the master and the booster. Now for the crap part, I can not find the oring, rubber seal or whatever it maybe anywhere. Local, auto zone doesn't have oring this big. Anyone have a part number or a knowing of where I can get the ring?

Today I use the truck to go to work and the abs light and brake light stay on. No biggie, it's happened before and went away. Everything still functioned and had braking power. Then, when I'm driving, I lose my Speedo intermittently. After work, lights were still on, but Speedo wouldn't work until after 20mph. What is it, my Speedo sensor, or an and sensor? I've read a little, and sounds like there is something on the transmission and diff. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone, My cab, fenders & interior are ratty & rusted. I've found a donor truck & i'm about to attempt a cab swap from an '01 1500 gasser, auto, extended cab Laramie to a '99 3500 diesel, 5speed, Reg. cab, base model. I have the shop manual in pdf for the '99 and I've done a lot of research already. I'm going to try and document the swap here if there seems to be any interest and I'm sure I'll have many questions for you guys along the way. Wish me luck ... I'll need it. Points I've thought of: cab mounts, clutch/brake pedal mount, gauge cluster, among others. Any heads up on things I might not have thought of yet would be appreciated. First Ques…

Well for while now I've had a squeak noise from my blower motor that would come and go. Today I finally got around to look at it. I pulled the blower motor down and attempted to spin the cage. OMG! Talk about hardly spin. It must of been putting a hell of a load amps wise on the circuit. Never blown the fuse or burnt anything that I know of. But the shaft without the cage on you couldn't twist with your fingers you had to use pilers. Well my nice boss ordered me one today and just got it tonight so I'll get the new one installed in the morning.

I was driving home last night and the brake and clutch petals got weird on me. There was a lot of play side-top-side and the brake petal was sticking. I was able to safely get it home. The e-clip on the brake pedal side was gone and the rod had pushed through as you can see from the pictures. I removed the brake light switch (guessing that is what it was) and I was able to wiggle the rod back through. However, getting the nylon insert in proved to be a pain. I disconnected both the clutch and brake petals from their respective push rods and I was able to quickly shimmy the insert into place. Nothing earth shattering here, but I thought I would share in case…

Hi guys my brakes are finally on their way out. I would like to re-do them with high quality parts. I am having issues with caliper pistons not returning so i am looking at replacing all four calipers, pads and disks. Does anyone have recomendations on brands or products?

So I almost made it to 250k miles without a single problem with the stock air and heat system. Anyway, we went on a drive today and about half way through the day, the vent system stopped working. The blower motor was still blowing hard but it wasn't really coming out of any vents that hard. I was using the regular A/C at the time. I messed with the mode knob a bit. The floor vents work good but the dash and defrost vents barely have any air flow when on those settings. Am I looking at a mode door problem here? How hard is it to get at? The HVAC system is one area I haven't ever worked with before. Thanks as always!!

bought a sport light harness and am having issues.... when switching back to low from high (with fogs on) my highs stay on... turn fogs off and they go off what gives? ive drew up a diagram of the bought harness i know the 9007 plug is wired wrong, but i swapped em where they are supposed to be and it done the same thing.. Anyone else having the same issue out of the DAP sport harness? thanks

A few years ago I went through the ac system and redid everything. Strong cold air for years. This year, I barely get anything. Is there slightly but barely. Compressor is cycling on and off but not a lot of cold air. Could it need a recharge or is something else going on? How many years should I get between servicing an ac system?

I had a misfortune get me today. I was asked by the fire chief to help him with fire trucks and to meet him at Station #3 at 11:30am. I did just that. I showed up at the fire station backed into my usual spot. Sitting there I decided to get some stuff out of the back of the truck and when I opened my drivers door the wind caught pulled so hard I couldn't hang on. Blam! It slung the door so hard the the forward lip of the door made contact with the hinges and tweaked the upper hinge. Now the top of the door is out another 1/4". I'm hoping I can adjust the door again for now and be close. I'll get photos in the morning in the daylight.

So I pulled off my drum to adjust my brakes and this is what I found. Does this look like a hub seal or wheel cylinder? Please say wheel cylinder... I already have new oversized ones to go in.

Boring I know, but 348000 miles has taken its toll

Guys, I have updated thIs Write up over in rthe TRUCK ARTICLES SECTION with some Part numbers that have changed or been replaced, as well as "ADDED" information to answer a lot of your alls questions regarding this MOD. Most important = The relays w/diode are no longer available at least from My knowledge bur they are in 30Amp version which will be fine as it is still way over need amperage needed. The diode "IS NOT REQUIRED" But is a safety to keep EF back thru system. New part numbers are listed in edited original write up over in the Articles section Ive been running this system for over 4-yrs now and it works flawless with not one problem to date, not e…

Sounds like a lot of people done this, and my breaks are wearing fin. Does anyone know a place to get (5093268 AA and 5093270 AA front caliper brackets). Aside from dealer, I tried researching it but did not come up with much. I think I might buy pads and rotors from local parts store as they have life time warranty on most of their stuff, but brackets might be not as easy to find. Any help appreciated.

wow I have the doors apart to install the tow mirrors I decided to replace the speakers.
