My 1998 Dodge/Cummins has front disc breaks. The disc/hub appears to be one piece. What year did Dodge modify the hub and rotor so they were seprate, and would the change also fit the 98'. Thank you, Kerley

My low beam on the passenger side is not working but works when you turn on high beam. Is this from a short in line somewhere or switch or what? Has anyone else had this kind of problem. I have changed the sockets out with new ones, checked for shorts (as good as I can while on the truck) on the harness but nothing to obvious. let me know what y'all think

My center light has sprung a leak, and when it rains hard (i.e., every afternoon during the Florida summer monsoon season) I get some drips coming out of my overhead console. Clearly, this cannot stand, so I need some new ones. Anybody switched to LEDs or the 4th-gen style, or anything different?

Three cardone units later I'm asking if ANYONE has had good luck with a particular remanufactured hydroboost. I need one basically immediately. That said, I already tried rebuilding it just to find it had mechanically failed (scarring on parts I can't get). I even tried to rebuild the units that failed only to find they all suffered some sort of assembly error and needed hard parts I don't have. If anyone has had good luck, point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance. Oh and move this if needed, not sure if powertrain or not.

Finally got the Spyntec free spin hub kit and Autometer pillar gauges installed. I’ve always hated the idea of all that hardware turning up there all the time. I rarely need 4 wheel drive . A lot of work, glad to finally check these off the list , I’ve had the parts for longer than I care to admit. It seems I’ve dislodged something in the process though. Cruise control quit working. The light comes on ,but no function

Hi Guys... Love the site! Somehow, I have lost the trailer light connector that took it from the 8-pin(?) 2-rows of 4 pins rectangular connector that transitioned the wiring to the round 7-pin (?) connector for my trailer connection. The various part stores don't seem to have it. Where can I get this other than a Dodge dealer who will charge an arm and a leg? r is this an aftermarket connector I need to get at a trailer place? My preference is on-line... (Cheaper???) Thanks in advance!

Been dealing with some mid 20's temps of late. Fire the truck in the am and the steering pump is moaning and groaning. Thats not to surprising to me since the pump is the OE pump and could stand a fluid change. The weird part is I drive about a mile from the house to get coffee and its moaning and groaning the whole way. Park, get coffee then jump in the truck fire it off and no moaning and groaning, not a sound. Drive 25 miles to the and still nothing. Not complaining but it does seem weird that after a mile of it complaining, all I have to do is shut it down and restart and it quits complaining.

My tires are about ready to go.. ~20% tread, on re-treaded MT's... I drive ~20k a year, pulling a horse trailer for a good part of that. Female driver, yadda yadda, I want to be safe.Local auto parts has a set of 4 new Rodo (sp?) tires, garanteed for 80k miles for $600. They are Street tires with a smidgen extra grip (and they don't look totally sissy ;-) )I can get a set of 4 ~50% tread used tires for $100. Another $40 to install/balance.I need to do a front end alignment on my truck.. Money is tight, but in a couple weeks I can fork out $800 for new tires/alignment/installation, etc. Or I can do the used tires through the winter (I was thinking of getting really grippy …

Two weeks ago on my way home from work I noticed my heat was on defrost regardless of knob position. I also noticed CC was out as well as 4wd. The next day everything was back to normal. Today the wife and I went to lunch and no vacumn again, after lunch it's working fine. I rebuilt the pump 5-6 years ago and replaced the lines from the pump to along the fire wall last summer due to crumbling connections. What could be causing a random loss of vacumn like this? I already ordered a posi-lok cable system for the axle as I don't want to be caught with my pants down in the snow.

Been doing a R/H/S rocker panel, step and wheel arch on a 04 Ford Transit van for a customer, started Friday morning and by 2.00pm ish I'd run out of MIG gas so off to get another gas cylinder, It's a bit tight on our drive at the moment due to small plant, trailers, 2 Rams, piles of logs etc and while reversing and turning hard to get out of our gates I just caught a wall, took a very quick look out of the side window and no scrapes on the wall so off I go. The gas supplier I use is about 6 miles away and after about a mile I heard something, I assumed it was the 2 gas cylinders in the bed which were ratcheted to my 5th wheel rails moving around so I pulled over onc…

Noticed a big puddle under my truck this morning. I know it’s coolant because it was low and on my way to pickup hay the cab was filling with steam. And the carpet is wet on the passenger side. I’m assuming heater core but heard that it leaks in the cab not out. I took a video of somewhere that seems to be leaking but maybe it’s just dripping down from there? Also looks like maybe a something attached there and fell off? I’m not too sure, any help is appreciated. I already bought a new heater core because I figured I should replace it because I’ve done everything else in the coolant system, heat and A/C. FullSizeRender.mov

New issue here turn signals just went out. Flashers work fine. No trailer hooked up or anything. For as bit the turn signals would come on for about 2 clicks then go out both left and right. Now I get nothing. I looked under the hood and on the side panel for a signal relay but did not see one. Anyone have any advice where to go from here?

I recently installed the rock solid steering bushing and it took the play out of my steering shaft but I still have a lot of play in the shifter tube part of the column. Does anyone know a fix for this other than a new column. Also does anyone have a parts breakdown of the column?
