2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

So I have a plow that has been around for about 14 years it is an old boss v plow I have mounts for my truck and a ford theses are two separate factory made mounts for the rt2,,, I plan on setting up both trucks for the plow mine as a back up for when the ford breaks down. I have done this before and understand that my plow frames are bolt on items for both trucks but still require drilling a couple holes in the frame for example Boss says for the push bar rear support to drill 3, 9/16 inch holes in a 4 inch x 4 inch area now I know why those bolts are there but my question is would one 4 inch bead of weld that can be ground off be better than Swiss cheesing up the frame?…

Hi everyone. I have a 2001 24 valve Dodge Ram 3500. Issue: Stopped for around 30 minutes and when went to start my truck, no instruments work and I get bus failure / no CCD. Truck runs fine with no issues on shifting. I do get wait to start light and several indicators light up on the cluster but stay lighted (like check engine, abs etc). ODBII Codes: P1698, P1694 and then P1698 again. Cluster Codes: 900, 920, 921, 940 and 950. Also 999 but I think that is just end of test. When I go to tranny DTC iwith ODBii scanner, I get P1687 and P1694 Other comments: Can't get to engine DTC with ODBii scanner. The scanner says it is unable to establish communica…

So, I took the truck to a shop this morning with the intention of achieving the usual alignment interval... I get a call about a 1/2 hour or so before work, that they were unable to perform an alignment on my truck. What? Bullhonky! So I had him gather info. on what was going on. 1. RH outer tie rod completely shot. 2. Steering stabilizer done for 3. Steering gearbox sloppy I also asked them to rotate my tires and they said it was done.... Huh, well, little did they realize, my front wheels are discolored from the brake dust. When I got there, they were still in front! grr... They also told me my front outer brake pads were almost worn down to nothing?! …

Earlier this evening I was called out to pull out a couple of stuck vehicles. Including a car and a chevy 1500 HD (not that it pertains to my issue). When I threw the lever for 4 low I realized after I climbed in the hole that the light never came on and the truck wouldn't engage the front wheels. After checking under the truck I found the two vacuum hoses that control the diaphragm locking mechanism had pulled out. I shoved them back in their original place and eventually pulled both vehicles free after dropping the hammer in 3rd gear. My question is, does this happen often? Is there a good fix besides just repairing the hose connections? Is there a better product I…

hi, i have a borgenson gear box on my 2001 dodge truck and it's leaking from the pitman arm side; does any one knows were to buy a seal kit to repair it

Seems like a logical idea but if your tanks gelled what good would it be? They say the heater surface can exceed 300 degrees F. https://utahbiodieselsupply.com/fuelfilterheater.php

With temps above 20*F I have about 15-18 psi. When it gets colder out I have right at 11psi. The other day it to -2*F. The truck started and held at 11psi. About 5 mins later she started dropping psi and soon hit 1psi. The truck started to stall so I turned it off right away. So later that day after the temps got to about 15*F I started the truck and it held 11psi. I took it down the road and about 10 miles later it went up to 17psi and held. When I got home it jumped down to 11psi again. Any ideas? My airdog going bad?

Here it comes the full write up on my 99 Dodge Ram restoration it has been in the process of being rebuilt over the last couple years, it's hit a few speed bumps, moving, shattered ankle and months of recovery. Now we are making real progress unfortunately my laptop died on me so I have lost all the photos of the truck during tear-down and most of the before pictures. What I have today are pictures of the chassis all scuffed up and receiving the first coats of new primer I also have a small preview of the color not ever found on a Ram but on a 2012 and newer toyota. I plan to follow this project with photos and updates as they come along,I plan to share the interio…

I have a check engine light and I'm trying to figure out what it is and I tried the key trick and only get p1693 p done then back to the trip.

the brake light switch is going out in my 95 and I can't figure out how to unplug the switch. I have never come across this style of switch before and I don't want to "brake" it ;)

So I am attempting to put together a good low buck lift I am not trying to clear anything more than a set of 35's at most but mainly I want to improve ride quality and retain stock geometry. Now I have a set of Thuren 4 inch coils laying around from a donor truck and was using that as a point to jump off the ledge on improving the suspension so unless I missed something to make these work right I will need for just the front suspension new control arms drop pit-man arm new adjustable or modified stock 3rd gen track bar(completely lost here I know what it does but don't know what is best for our trucks) longer sway-bar end links or something to correct that shocks…

I started a thread about headlight switches last week and thank all for information received. I also found that the part I need is out of production. I need the part that the headlight switch attaches to and is then screwed to the dash panel before the dash bezel is re-installed. If anyone has one I will be very happy to purchase it at a reasonable price, Thank you, Kerley

I am installing some candle sticks, which are fancy marker lights for the outside of the truck. I want to splice into the marker lights/turn signal so they turn on when the parking lights are on and blink with the turn signal. the marker lights have 3 wires: Green, Black, and I think its purple with a white line. Which ones would I splice into to get my candle sticks to work the way I am looking for? Thanks for the time and help.

Does anybody have a stock lower intercooler boot they could possibly sell as the dealer wants $80+ and I'm on a tight budget. 2001 dodge cummins.

I have been wanting a heated seat for some time, especially after driving a jetta with heated seats. Anyway long story short is a got the whole front and rear leather seats. Power and heat on both sides. have the switches that go in the dash. Also got the storage tray under the back seat and the woodgrain dash. I guess my question is...how much grief is it to get the heat to work. My drivers seat is power and that was plug and play. This is probably going to mean I need a wire harness...ugh. Regards Chris

The sheet metal behind the kick panels that forms underneath the truck around body mounts. Do they make this ? What's it called and how much of a deal to replace with those weld rivets for a body shop Thx

I was working on my headlight yesterday and noticed 2 items I couldnt identify. 1.some sort of contact switch located under driver side battery... inside the battery box 2. looks like some sort of reset button next to driver side headlight Thanks, guys

It's time for new tires on my 2000 , i was wondering how many people have the h1's With military 37s on their dodge s, if so how much lift was needed, ive heard a leveling kit and they fit, but want to make sure before i spend the money.

Been looking around for an older diesel NPR truck. The one Im interested in has a straight piped stack which makes it too loud to for residential. Seller says, ''it wakes up the neighborhood''. So is a crome muffler very expensive? Or are there any other tricks/ options to quiet it down? Thanks in advance. BTW I love how you can tilt the cab and get to all the engine parts like working at a work bench. That's too easy.

Does anyone have a mod or upgrade to the stupid plastic lock on the rear slide window? Mine slowly pops loose. It doesn't seem very secure to begin with.
