2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Ever since you mentioned the lower pressures you run in the front axles I decided to tweak with mine a bit and adjust a few things like sector adjustment on the steering gear box now. This is the best the truck has ran from steering now. It very stable and tracks well now with no sawing action now. So I wanted to say "Thank You" to Wild & Free because my truck is very enjoyable to drive now and doesn’t require all those crazy mods like steering box brace or 3rd gen track bar. All factory front end parts!

My power steering pump went out, started to loose braking power on wadsworth, pulled over and power steering was gone! I have my small tool box with me but need any help I can get! Call me at 970-531-7137 Thanks Sarah

I'm thinking of rattle canning the lower part of my truck on my bed to prevent rust and spruce it up. Should I strip it to bare metal or just scuff really well? 2 coats of primer? 2-3 base and then clear? Behind the rear wheels the body is down to primer so I was thinking of just stripping it down, see photos. Duplicolor has color match paint, I was thinking of going that route. I've never done body work on a vehicle so any input would be great. I know it won't be tip top shape, but I still want it to look nice and any input would be appreciated. Thanks, John

Hi everyone. Need some opinions on my ABS issue. Some history. The chip in my abs module went bad. Sent it to rebuilder in the states. Got it back installed and worked good for a month. Started getting random ccd bus errors. Disconnected abs module and all guages came back. I know the issue is abs related. Ohm test abs sensors all looks good. Is it possibly a bad soldier in the board? Any suggestions?

I have an 01 2500 but recently changed the factory stereo, it finally gave it up. My problem is all but one of the speakers quit. There is supposed to be a factory amp somewhere and I can not find it. I have the harness to bypass the factory amp, which i think is the problem but I need help finding it. I have already replaced the new stereo I installed but that didn't help so it has to be the factory amp ??????? Also, I have replaced all the factory speakers. I really do not want to cut any wires, all the aftermarket stereo was installed using Metra connectors to save the wires. Cutting factory wires just leads to problems later on, or at least that is my opinion. Just ca…

Since leveling my truck, roughly 2-1/2" - 3" raise in the front, my upper control arms hit the bracket on the axle. I haven't had it aligned yet, but do I need to upgrade to adjustable or longer control arms? I thought the oem ones were good for leveling? I've seen people get adjustable lower ones to center the axle in the wheel well better but I can't see how that would help the hitting issue.

Found this alignment procedure being done on a 2ed gen Dodge diesel. What do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=OzN0Z2HupcM

All winter I've had the dreaded steamed up oily windows from running my defrost. I just assumed it was the heater core and that's going to be a bear to change. However a friend at work with a 01 cummins has the same problem and thinks it is the ac leaking. We both have some thing leaking from the floor vent. I thought it was dirty antifreeze but he says it's more oily coming from the ac. Sometimes I think it smells like antifreeze but then yet it doesn't. He put in 2 cans of 134 and a stop leak to see if it fixes it. So I remembered I had to charge mine twice last summer. so it was pushing 60 degrees today so I tried my ac it never got cold. So should I try some stop lea…

I have been wanting to put my gauges in this 95 since I got it but didn't want them on the pillar. I wanted to replace worthless cup holder with gauges. I saw a few pics on CF before and it looked simple enough. Well it turned out a lot more work and I can't cut straight to save my life but I finally got them in. Waiting for new amp boxes to show up so I can get them wired up. It won't let me attach the file for some reason, I select it and and when I attach it, it says no file selected.

Does anyone have a parts breakdown or diagram of the vacuum lines? All of my vacuum line fittings are dry rotted and I want to replace all of them. I'm going to call the dealer today but in the past they always seem to be a little lost when it comes to the diesel trucks.

I am installing new rotors on my truck, hopefully tomorrow. I have issues with rust and really fought getting my hub/rotors free from the truck. If I use anti seize on the 4 hub/bearing bolts, axle nut, and extension lug bolts, would that cause any issues or would I risk those bolts/nuts loosening over time? The FSM mentions using anti seize on the splines of the splines of the front drive shaft, but nothing else. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys, a couple months ago I replaced my power steering system. Borgeson gear box, pump, shaft and hoses. Also installed a filter (yes it is flowing the correct direction). When I try to turn the wheels from a dead stop I can't turn the wheel either direction more than maybe a quarter turn before it locks up. As soon as I start moving it's like butter and while driving it's smooth. When I first bled the system I sucked air in and also ended up over filling the pump but now the fluid level is good and I re-bled the system so it shouldn't have any air in it. I just can't turn the wheel at a stop. Any ideas? The tires are only stock 265's so it's not like I'm trying to tu…

Ok gents I need to know what I'm looking at here. Every time I turn my wheel all the way left and left off the brake to start moving slowly I feel a bad vibration. I had a buddy follow along listening and it is coming from the rear end differential... i know my wheel can fly off so I parked it. I recently changed all fluids 75/90 royal purple. I want to know worse case scenario so I know to open her up or not.. I'm looking at getting layed off so I don't want to open a can of worms with my truck up in the air and not be able to move it . I am mechanically inclined but not with diffs.... thnx in advance fellas.

Guys, backed out of the drive today and realized that my dash lights were not on. I just hooked up my a pillar gauges over the weekend and all of the lights were fine, now they and all other dash lights are off. I have a backup camera in my truck and was messing with the wire taps in the fuse box in the cab, but I don't know if anything is related. Since I cant go out to the truck I figured I'd ask if anyone knows where the fuse may be, so I can run out a t lunch. BTW The radio , overhead display and I believe all other lights , pwr mirrors and mirrors were working on the way in. Thanks

Anyone else have the problem of getting the tailgate handle to release both latches at the same time? I have to manually flip the catch on the passenger side and then lift the handle to open the tailgate. No wear on the pivot points, plastic rod retainers not worn.

Pass. side tire is wearing on the outside. Actually both are but pass. side much worse. Wheel is centered and truck goes down the road straight. Didn't notice any worn or loose parts. Before I spend a day in the alignment shop I wanted to try myself but not sure which way to go?

I am doing caliper rebuilding and pad replacement on the front today. Do I need to bleed the rear during this process or is that area isolated from the front?

Hey fellas Started diag on a battery drain today. Seems when I disconnect the alternator the drain goes from 480mA to under 50mA ........ how do I determine if I have a bad ground on alternator an open circuit ..... or just a bad alternator.

I got tired of my second failing Glowshift fuel pressure gauge and put in an ISSPRO EV-2 that matches my pyro. It's so nice to have a gauge that reads correctly that I can trust. I still have a liquid filled mechanical under the hood for back-up and this ISSPRO agrees with it 100%. Glowshift from new only read 5psi when the mechanical read 18psi . Did I mention I like ISSPRO?

I have been trying to figure out which shock will work for my truck and am not sure what to order for the front. I have a 2" leveling kit. I see that Rock Auto has 2"lift specified with Rancho's but it notes "dual" shocks. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
