2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Replacing the evaporator core and heater core on my 98 24 valve truck. I have everything loose except the 2 bolts under the dash. There is a cable going to the blend door from the heat and cool knob that I cant figure out how it comes loose. I can pull the cable loose from the door but how do I get it loose from the box. I have a bad habit of breaking stuff. Also having a hard time finding the vacuum line that unplugs from the drivers side. I can't see good enough anymore to do a lot of things. Thanks for any help.

I had a wheel bearing go out on my 2001 2wd independent suspension 3500. Ordered a new nut for the wheel bearing hub but I'm not sure what the torque spec should be. Also whats the torque spec for the OEM wheel extenders and how do you all torque them down sense you can only fit a wrench. I am guessing you just good and tight it? Normally I'm okay with that but sense my wheel is attached to this makes me a bit paranoid.

I just found out that I have a leak on the drivers side of my cab. The carpet is dry on the side of the fender and the tranny as well as the carpet under the pedals. I can't figure out where it is coming from. The truck is parked on a slight slope, with the passenger side being about 6" lower. I pulled the kick panel off and started to pull the carpet up a little and so far no signs of a leak. Any one ever have this happen to them? Looking for suggestions! Thanks.

Rust! Yeah, this winter I've not been able to keep up on washing the truck as much as I wanted to. I knew I had a few paint chips in the tailgate from the old canopy. So I'm doing some fix-up work to keep the R word under control. Need to pick up a can of gloss black paint tomorrow when the hardware store is open. The black of the tailgate liner plastic will blend right in with the extended black paint line. You can see I had it paint once with flat black but that is porous.

Hello all. So it's soon time for state inspection and like last year my abs and brake light come on just in time to give me something else to worry about. Last time they went out and have not come back on till now. What's different is I don't have the CLUNK when I turn the key to pre heat position. That clunk is the ABS pump right? Would a malfunctioning speed sensor cause it not to clunk or do I have another problem? I read the diagnostic article but it didn't address it. Also, I have contemplated just pulling the fuses and bulbs and running without ABS since I don't like it anyway. I read some guy did this and some time later the brakes locked up going down the road. I …

I can't seem to find anything definitive on this... I've read some that say the 4th gen steering linkage that Dodge sells is a direct bolt in on a 2002 and some that say it's not. I found a couple posts in other forums where they said it rubbed the factory 16" wheels on 01-02s but a little grinding to care of that. Anyone know for sure? I know there are a/m options out there for these trucks but I've got a buddy at a Dodge dealership that can get me employee pricing so I'd like to find something from Dodge. Thanks in advance.

Hello, new guy here. I figured this is the best site to ask a specific technical question like this. I own a 98.4 Ram 12V 3500 and recently scored a NOS EVS II keyless entry module PN 82300986 on eBay. These work on a wide range of 90's Chrysler vehicles that were equipped with factory power door locks, but w/o keyless entry. However, to make this work with my 98, I need a specific wiring kit. Along with the module I purchased, a wiring kit PN 82202443 came with it. This will not work with my truck. I believe it's for an earlier model ram. The wiring kit that came with it has an 8-pin blue door connector harness, and my 98 has a 10-pin blue door connector harness.On…

my obd11 port fell apart and the radio went out put it back together and tried to connect my smarty nothing, Checked the coded on the cluster im throwing a 1694 no bus message idk what to do is there a fuse to check because the radio also went out please help!!

Ok, So I'm almost done setting up my truck, getting ready to fabricate a tow hitch setup & I realize I don't know the towing capacity for this truck! it's a 2002 2wd 3500 quad cab dually 6 speed & HO. Dana 80 axle has 3.55 gears It has factory helper leaf springs, and firestone "ride rite" air bags So does anyone know the towing capacity for this truck? I'm wondering which class hitch to setup. I will always use 5th gear when towing as it's 1.00 ratio straight through. Also, I've installed a service body on this truck so that rules out gooseneck/5th wheel style towing. Thanks!

I finally bit the bullet and ordered panels for the front doors on my 3500, sick of watching it rust away, company on ebay.com ships to the UK using Ebays GSP, $289 for left and right inner and outer panels, just shy of $440 to my door. I've got a mountain of work to do on it to put it back on the road and some of it not of interest here as it's a 5.9 V8 but here's the list anyway Intake manifold gasket, I have the kit just never got around to doing it Front door repairs both sides Dent in right front fender Bumpers front and rear, may make a pair New battery Passenger side rear door won't open, (this one is the one here thats not used) …

Anyone know what this code is ? Showed up as a P ECU ... Was trying to pinpoint the cruise control issue in my '02 ... Thanks

Hey guys, So I'm sure everyone has seen those pickup trucks that have either the bed or cab sagging so badly that the truck is folding in half. I absolutely hate that look, even the slightest bit. Well I think my truck has started to do this, ever so slightly. I'm probably the only one who would notice it. But I wanna get a jump on trying to figure it out. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it worn out cab mount bushings? Can I get replacements? Has anyone else encountered this issue? thanks! EDIT: So just looking around I found Energy Suspension poly cab bushings at Geno's for $120. So now my questions are, how much work are they to replace?…

98 2500 CTD QC Latch that holds the quad door window closed separated from the window glass. Latch seems intact, but has anyone tried to reattach latch to glass? It looks like they used epoxy or somethin at the factory. Any help, ideas appreciated. Thanks, Dave.

I had my truck in the shop... for some reason they were dragging their feet about getting to it... I was getting annoyed but then I had a 3 day vacation in the ICCU (Intermediate Cardiac Care Unit), after a first ever episode of A-Fib. OH, yeah, after getting evac'ed in a Rescue before breakfast. Home now & getting used to the additional meds besides my existing disability. I've been unhappy with the way the truck tracks... have to constantly be on it making small adjustments. Already did track bar upgrade. He replaced the steering damper... said it was frozen or siezed. ??? We'll see. Had a bunch of routine maintance done since I can'…

So I'm sure there is a posting about this some where but I'm gonna ask it again. My 99 dodge driver door failed and I think I found one. But instead of spending 600 on paint I figured I would bed liner the entire truck. What do you guys think I've never used monstaliner and it's pretty expensive. I've used duplicolor on my grill guard and as long as it's warm it works good I think. Just wanted to get the entire scoop before I continue thanks.

Parked my at the job today. Get back in it about 15 minutes later and the flasher is clicking just like the turn signal or hazard lights were on but they're not. Sitting in her now and it is still clicking with nothing activated. I guess power getting to the flasher some how but to the lights unless the turn signal or hazard button are engaged. Any one had this happen?

We all need a good news story now and then! This spring I decided to update my interior and replaced my lower dash in my 2002 4X4 quad cab. After I was done it would not start! Long story short, took it to local Dodge dealer, they found a pulled pin in a connector, $760.00 later truck was home. We pulled our 30 foot fifth wheel and two quads to Silverton Colorado! Ole blue ran perfect! Got 10 mpg average, pulled all that stuff over a 11,000 foot pass, dry camped for two weeks along a beautiful creek. Love that truck! Gods creation is awesome!

Well the last two trips I med to the mid west(Iowa and Indiana)have taken a toll on my bed. A woman hit me in Iowa and I, in a moment of brilliance, hit the passenger side with the forks on the lift. they did not penetrate, but sure did leave a couple of good marks. The rear bumper has had it share of a rough life on the drivers side and is bent up pretty good. Backed into a tree with the tailgate down once and bent the bed along with the tailgate. I did mange to find a good tailgate in Iowa for $120. Thats when I notice the bed was bent, but did mange to get that on and looking good. So with all of that and 12 years of wear and tear I thought I could find me a bumper and…

My issue started about a month ago. Up until last month i was able to Idle the truck with the A/C on with no problems of humidity within the cab. I am having the issue of not being able to cool the cab. The A/C clutch is working because i hear that thing engaging a block away:lol:. I start to drive the truck around and A/C comes back and starts pushing cold air again. Has anybody had this problem?

Hello. I found some 2018 Ram 2500 Bilstein shocks here locally, for cheap, will these bolt up to my 2001 2500 long bed 4x4 truck, with little modifications? The rears is what I’m after, but if fronts fit as well, then bonus.
