2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

ok dumb thread - but what the heck What other options are there - I'm tired of paying $6-$7 for this stuff in such a small bottle http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-24200-Permatex-Threadlocker-Blue/dp/B0002UEMZ2 Anyone use anything else ?

OK guys my ac is stuck on defrost what have you guys found on this situation

Has anyone done this? I have a '00 24v and I'd like to have a manual lockup, so I can lock it in 2nd as well! So I don't have to come screaming up all the hills in my area, sounding like I'm doing 120mph Pros, cons, and whatnot.

Any thoughts on chasing down ac leaks. I haven't had very good luck with dye. Are the cheap sniffers any good. I was thinking about a kit with plugs and adaptors that can isolate components and pressurize them kind of expensive though. I changed the evaporator about 10 years ago I hope that's not the problem again.

so first off i want to say that i am new to the forums. iv'e searched the web for someone who has had the same issue but so far i cant find it! so i went to my camp and all was well. the next day i unloaded all the dirt bikes and quads off of my flat bed and trailer and all was well. then about 30 min later i jumped back in the truck to run to the corner store and the radio didn't work.. weird.. it never came back on either. so when i got home the first thing i did was break out the multi meter. the battery power wire in the radio harness (yellow) was only coming up with .25 volts. and the ignition power wire (red) was only showing .20 volts. i checked the fuse on…

My truck is all over the road. Tried tighten steering box adjustment but didn't help. I was thinking about replacing all frowned parts including steering box. What parts should I use, without having any fabrication. Thanks Charlie

Driving at night in my truck is like driving with my eyes closed and I need to do something about it. I have been looking for an entire fog light kit since my truck does not have the stock fog lights installed. I had ordered a set off ebay but they were too big and did not fit(think they were the 3''). I also checked the dealer and they said there are none available for the diesels, which I find hard to believe since I see them on other trucks all the time. I am looking for a set that will fit in the stock location and that comes with the wiring harness and switch. If anyone knows of somewhere to get these please let me know. Thanks

So in preparation for winter I've been checking and testing some things to avoid issues in the cold. It has been cool enough for the grids to cycle so I thought I would test a bit to avoid later issues. I checked for voltage at the grid heaters in the intake horn. I had 10.33v DC. That didn't sound right, why not 12+ volts so I checked at the battery- 12.5 volts (engine not running). Checked at the hot side of both relays-12.5 volts. Then checked grid side of relays-10.33 volts. I'm going to assume this voltage drop at the relays is not normal or acceptable? Is this showing the contacts being worn and or cruddy inside the relay? Time to replace? T…

For better or for worse, I just got done installing these. With a bent-tip grease gun tool they are super easy to grease, so I now have no excuse for not doing so. I'm not sure what to think about them. I'm more likely to clean them off and grease them, but if/when the ball or spring wear out they'll be more likely to let in water/salt/grit than a normal zerk. A Google search for that part number and you can get them pretty cheap.

hey guys I have a 1998 24 valve SLT has anyone ever had the power door locks engage when you turn the ignition switch to the on position, if so what is the fix thanks

Getting ready to install my alarm in the truck and while the interior is out, I am want to spray the inside with a sound deadener/insulation material. 2 things I founs are lizard skin and a product called coolcar. Leaning towards coolcar since they are in seattle if they will let me pick it up locally instead of shipping. If not, well then its a matter of overall price including shipping. Anyone have any experience with either? Oh I am also replacing the carpet with a full vinyl flooring as well. from auto-interior.com I want biege but I think it will be a tad too much. so going with the black.

Hey y'all, long time no see. Having been Ram-less for about two years, I could hardly live with myself anymore so I caved in and went ahead and picked up a '99 2500 today. It has some issues, two of which are the warning lights for the parking brake, or brakes? They're to the left of the seatbelt light in the instrument cluster. I've tried some googling, but getting few answers. I don't really know where to begin with this, I've checked the switch for the parking brake underneath the dashboard. Unplugged it, but it made no difference. Since I'm based in Norway, the chances of finding someone with an actual Dodge scan tool that will read anything other th…

Has anyone found a set of fender flares that will work on the rear of a second gen dually?

Anyone have one of these? Not to sound stupid but I see it says they handle the load put on the headlight switch to keep it form burning up, but is an actual headlight bulb designed to withstand the heat of both elements on at the same time for an extended period of time I wonder? http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BB-M4B-FLCU

Hey guys thank's for having me been looking around on this website for a while. That being said I am in serious need of help before I lose my mind. I have a 2001 QCLB with a 6 speed transmission. I needed to replace my dash and bezel so I bought a LMC truck dash and bezel. Il while doing it I figured I would do the heater core and accumulator. I have my dash completely loose and rolled forward but j can't for the life of me move the P/S of the dash far enough out to remove the HVAC box. Am I suppose to remove the center shifter plastic assembly? Im starting to lose hope in this project and any help would be great thanks guys

I was surprised when I replaced my water pump. The OEM pump was made in England. The replacement pump from AutoZone and was manufactured in Canton , Ohio. I thought for sure it was going to be an import. The replacement also has a limited life time warranty. kind of nice that some parts are still made in the USA.

Tried to look over some old discussions but cant find what I'm looking for. 99 24 valve with auto. Stock with about 150K on it. Sat for a few yrs till I started running it. Been doing ok, then started to "hick-up" or lope on me. Sitting idle or under power on road. Cant seem to understand. It'll just puff two three times in row. Expected it was a dirty injector. When I firsted started to run it 2 yrs ago I installed a draw straw plumbed into factory lines. Everything was good. I expected this was a dirty injector, started to treat with inj. cleaner. The "burps" kept getting worse to suddenly not starting after sort ride (warm). Ofcourse I expect no the lift pump, so I jus…

Anyone know what my truck would weigh? I look at my permit and it just says 14000kg and most of my stickers on the truck are gone. 02 2500 4X4 quad short box
