2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Ok so I ordered gauges for my 2002 3500 from DAP and I didnt specify manual gauges and they sent all electronic boost, fuel, and egt. I am no electronic kinda guy. Should I send them back for manual gauges or are these simple enough to hook up for a guy not so electronic smart. Thanks

Where to buy stock mirrors, I ask this because evidently there are cheap replicas. My new to me truck has some really junk mirrors. They vibrate to beat hell and just seem thin compared to my other 1 ton. Thanks

I live in south central Texas and here it seldom gets below freezing and if it does its not but a day or two. I deleted my old truck and cant remember how I did it. If I remove the positive wires going to solenoids and to grid is that all there is to it?

Yes, they will. I picked up this set of 2021 wheels the other day with new 245/70R17 Firestones. The guy gave me the lug nuts but Dodge changed the threads at some point so I am using my old spiked nuts for now. I didn't realize how tall these lug nuts were until I put them on these wheels. This was a test to see if how well a smaller tire will work like Mike has. So far my cruising EGT's are down about 150-200 degrees. I'll have to do some more driving later to verify. I was able to pull flat out run on level 4 up to 85mph and not exceed 1200* and that's with a tune I'm messing with so all bets are off, lol. I'll roll with these for a little bit while playing wit…

Hey Folks, Not sure what it is called, but the piece of foam in the front of the door jam. (my internet is too slow to run the parts catalog) Anyone replaced or repaired one of these when it fell out? Wondering i can use adhesive to put it back in place. My truck is already loud enough in the wind, not sure I want anything else to add to the sound. Thanks

I have an '01 3500 dually and am finding myself experiencing the occasional "death wobble" I have replaced the track bar. Need to get under there and check all the steering joints now along with the ball joints for play. If I need to replace several I would rather look into an upgrade. Been doing some reading online, apparently there was a factory option for heavy duty steering? Which was a T steering setup? If not, what would be a direct bolt on T setup? I don't really want to have to change the taper on the knuckles or do any mods if not required. Just curious what my options are. Thanks in advance.

Got in the truck the other day to go to town, and when I get to the end of the driveway the brake pedal goes straight to the floor, no resistance at all. Good thing I'm used to downshifting coming to a stop. Anyway, get the thing back home and the master cylinder's empty, and no sign of a leak anywhere. I had last driven it three weeks prior with no problems. Refilled master cylinder, worked the brakes, and refilled again, let sit. Checked two days later, refilled master, checked for evidence of leak and found nothing. As it sits right now, I've got about a quart of fluid into it, very spongy pedal, ( I know I have to bleed them) and still no evidence of a leak anywh…

Well it happened wrecked my 01. It bent the front part of the frame under the rad. support. Hopefully I have a guy with a frame straightener to the rescue, this will be the second time this part of the frame will be straightened. Im sure it is weak and gonna be even weaker but I have no choice but to fix it. My biggest question is where to find motor mounts? The impact ripped the left mount, I find mounts with no dampeners in them and never the same brand. Looking to buy them all together. Am I missing something here?

So.. my truck has been down about a month now waiting on this new track bar. I get it in and get to installing it this am and I'm freaking the **** out right now.. does anyone have one and have pictures of it installed? Am I supposed to drill anything? This thing came with no instructions and the install docs on the website don't open and the video they have is highly unhelpful besides adding review content. I have a bolt that doesn't fit in any hole on the bracket and it doesn't even feel like it lines up (maybe 1/4" off after putting in the ball joint bolt with sleeve.

I have just finally resealed the Hydroboost on my truck only had the seal kit for most of this year, MOT (our yearly check) is overdue so as it was leaking and that would be a fail I decided nows the time. The reseal went ok, had to cut the rod as it's a staked item, I was going to make a threaded joiner on my lathe but decided against that as the inner bore of the input seals are tiny compared to the rod they have to be fitted over to get to their grooves and didn't want sharp threads incase I had to ever reaseal again, anyway thats all done and rod welded back together. Question is has anyone got a picture of the accumulator looking right in it, speci…

Auto parts store I've done business with for 20 years doesn't carry AC Delco anymore. Napa is the only thing worth a damn around here now. Whats your thoughts on Napa ball joints?

I recently had the parking brake hang up a little while leaving for work in the morning. I know the cable from the left rear wheel is in bad shape, outer casing is bunched up and looks to be the culprit. I would like to just replace both cables going to the rear wheels. They aren't very expensive on RA but there are so many I'm not entirely sure which ones to order. Am I going to have to measure the cables since there seems to be different lengths? There also seems to be a cut off, parts must have changed after 7/00. Mine was built 2/00 so I at least figured that part out. Truck should be in the sig but just in case it's a 2001 (man. Date of 2/00 ) ram 3500 quad ca…

So I want to get rid of factory speakers, but this one has the premium audio. So by chance does anyone know if I try to get another set of new 2.0ohm for the (non oem) speaker will it work? Or do I need to gut the doors & rewire? Next it has the heated + power mirrors But there little, anyone know if a plug and play mirrors works ? [Ive ordered mirrors before offline and none of the included studs have ever worked :P]

I noticed the 4wd shifter label was incorrect a few months ago and forgot to ask. Anyone have any insight into why this is? All the way forward is definitely 2H but it’s labeled 4L. The order from front to back is 2H 4H N 4L.

I've had it with mine, they ride so dang stiff, reminds me of my 79 F-150 when I had 6 Rancho shocks on it. I'll be pulling them off soon and tossing a set of Monroe Reflex shocks back on it. I asked my co-worker, if I was an old man with a glass taint, what shocks would you sell me? It's ok, she already thinks I'm weird. If anyone is interested in them I'll be tossing them in the classifieds when I get them out.

Hey all! Back again with more questions lol. So I am wanting to replace the the 2 bars for steering (I get confused with what to call them my bad, tie rods I'm assuming?), steering box (planning to go with a blue top), sway bar, track bar, and possibly ball joints, alignment shop told me one or both had a little bit of play but told me I wouldn't have issues with tire wear. If there are parts I'm missing that I should replace, please tell me below! Tire wear has been fine I believe and its been about 5k miles. Need to rotate soon. I have a LOT of slop in the steering, possibly kind of dangerous at this point lol. Biggest question is what brand to …

Hey folks someone has already repaired the seat heater element in my 2001, does anyone know of a replacement element I could buy? I'm seeing some generic ones for sale but wasn't sure if they will work with the factory switch.

HAS ANYONE HAD THE SIDE CLEARANCE/IDENTIFICATION LIGHTS, INCLUDING TAILGATE STRIP, JUST STOP WORKING? TRIED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE ONE AND NOW NONE OF THEM LIGHT. CANNOT FIND ANY REFERENCE TO A FUSED CIRCUIT FOR THE LITTLE GUYS IN THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK AS INTENDED, ROOF MARKERS, FRONT AND REAR RUNNING AND HAZARDS. I'M AT A LOSS HERE.

I’ve just about on information overload In searching out this abs brake issue and trying not to parts change components until I find the problem, I do have rear brake abs along with rear drums, abs and brake light come on only after first full application of brakes and will stay on along with the spongy and week brakes, system will reset itself when I turn key off and then the cycle starts again the first time brakes are applied, they act like air in the system and it seems like I can gain a little by pumping but not much. I have not tried bleeding at the wheel because it seems if it’s leaking internally it wouldn’t do any good, It does not leak any fluid. The speedo work…

I took the truck to work today as I wanted to swing by Harbor freight and get a small crane for the back of my truck. On my way home I managed to smash my passenger side mirror into the driver side mirror of a 2017 F-350. Thankfully the guy was super cool about the whole thing and agreed to let me just buy a new mirror and install it for him. I went through 1Aauto and found his mirror for $400, for comparison the dealer wanted $1800. Unfortunately for me I have the fancy power folding 4th gen style mirrors that you have to buy in pairs for $500. I was hoping maybe I could just replace the glass as the body is still intact but I can see one of the gears has a flat sp…
