2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

So I almost made it to 250k miles without a single problem with the stock air and heat system. Anyway, we went on a drive today and about half way through the day, the vent system stopped working. The blower motor was still blowing hard but it wasn't really coming out of any vents that hard. I was using the regular A/C at the time. I messed with the mode knob a bit. The floor vents work good but the dash and defrost vents barely have any air flow when on those settings. Am I looking at a mode door problem here? How hard is it to get at? The HVAC system is one area I haven't ever worked with before. Thanks as always!!

I know here shortly this will be added to the article database. I just got done rebuilding the front drive shaft. Rather easy task and the parts are easy to common by even to rebuild the cardan joint ball. Also forgive me I got the camera lens greasy on my phone. Before you break down the double cardan joint mark it so you get it back together the same way. I used a file a scratch a line across all the pieces. It hard to see but there is a line across the left joint cap, the middle joint and the rear joint cap. Now using my Harbor Freight Ball Joint Press I'm simple driving the cap out the other side and disassembling the double cardan joint f…

Is it possible to get to the back side (just curious, don't want to do anything to it) of the in cab fuse box without too much hassle? I've had the lower leg protector under steering wheel off with its 3 screws, but don't see easy way to get the next piece of plastic off? Is the next piece of plastic all one piece across the lower dash, i.e. will I have to mess with air bag electronics to go deeper into the lower dash, or upper for that matter (for when I go with the dash top 3 pod gauge mount, which I like better than a-pillar. Thanks a bunch.

Anyone know if the front bumpers and fenders are the same the whole way through the 2nd generation (94-02) ? I may have found a parts truck but I'm pretty sue it's from the 12v years and I thought I read one time the fenders were different.

I'm looking at adding a dump bed setup to my QCSB. "Most" kits I see are for every combo BUT the QCSB on 2G trucks. Why? WTF is so different?At any rate, anyone here have a dump bed installed? I'd prefer and OTB (over the bumper) style, and not an insert, as I've no room to store an insert when not in use.Stealth Dump Trucks, Inc. has my favorite one, but not for a 2G QCSB...EZ Dumper insert is like 1800$ and, well, it's an insert...

I have a 99 automatic and a brand new 15x5 SLM Enclosed trailer. The brake lights and turn signals work but the trailer has a bunch of LEDs and other running lights on it and they don't light up. They won't light up on my buddies 2000 24 valve dually either. Only the brake lights and turn signals work. So I'm curious if any of you guys have ran into this before. It's a 4 way flat and I'm using an adapter to plug up to the stock plug that comes on our trucks. I tried to call SLM but they are closed until Tuesday. I wanted to try to figure out what's going on this weekend. Any ideas?

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.

Was wondering if anyone has done a mod to modify the stock horns to sound better/louder. I see that mine has 2 separate horns but they sound like they should be on a tricycle. I actually won't even use the horn because it sounds so awful. Any insight would be great.

@Mopar1973Man @Me78569 I know that you 2 have been able to create a boost gauge for the OBDLink tool. I need some guidance setting this up with mine. I think it may help me diagnose other issues I’m having with my truck. First is where to go in the obdlink app to create the gauge?

hey guys, i got a problem. late last week my power steering barfed up all the fluid all at once and had no power steering. after crawling under the truck, the only place i can find fluid is on the front of the gear box. all the hoses and lines seem dry. the hoses are in the factory slit-loom and none of the loom has fluid in them. it didn't barf it from the connection on the gear box as far as i can tell and the area around and below the pump are dry also. i looks as if it all came out from around the circle in the front of the gear box (but i don't see any holes, just fluid). i'm about to pull it later tonight, but is there anything i might be overlooking? any suggestion…

Hey guys. I am finally getting around to finishing up installing a couple extra sets of driving lights. I have some 50w spot beams that I wired to their own switch and they work great. I am trying to finish up the 100w spot beams now. I have them all wired with a relay system, I just need a power source to trigger the relay. The problem is I would really like them to just come on with the high beams. After taking a step back and checking out some wiring diagrams, I realized that the whole headlight system is based on a ground switching circuit. This wont really work with my wiring set up I have at the moment. Is there anywhere in the system that I could find a g…

Have not driven the truck in a bit (wonderful VP-44 puked again and no $$ to fix it!) but jumped in the truck over the weekend to move some big stuff around and when I turned the A/C on it worked fine but would only blow air out of the foot vents.No matter what position the climate control switch was in, air came out of the lower vents.Searching the bulletin board I did not find anything like this but did find several threads about the vent system being controlled by vacuum and if you had a leak that the doors would default to the floor vents. Any hints or suggestions on this? Thx,FT

What's everyones thoughts on using a trickle charger/ battery maintainer on my truck with the quadzilla hooked up? I know it says if I am jumping off I need I need to unhook the quad. Y'all think I'll be ok to leave it hooked up?

The cup that the drivers side front spring sits in on the front axle is mostly gone... the attached bracket that anchors the link to the front sway bar is detached.I went by the Wheel & Brake shop... the owner put the truck up on the lift, went over the whole frame & rear axle. General rust but nothing else real bad. I like his throughness. These parts will have to be fabricated... he's going to get back to me. I am still happy with the work he did on the Cirus. Of course I hate paying but I lke things fixed so they stay fixed.

I'm getting 12 volts on the metal housing of the ABS module. I disconnected the large plug off the top of the ABS module and now the housing doesn't have the 12 volts. Any idea what's going on here? And where to start troubleshooting?

does any one make a HD 5 pin flasher for towing. local NAPA doesn't list one .thanks

My rear brakes are real touchy and been that way for a while. The Hydro boost started leaking so replaced and everything was good for 2 days and now back to locking up right rear. I ordered a divider valve today just because it was cheap enough to throw at it. No codes or anything so what do you think?

I found this random black wire that was just sitting on top of a bolt near the abs unit. Not sure what it is, looks like maybe a ground wire but not sure. Anyone know what it may be for? It seems to split from the harness just before the abs. See pics, hopefully you can see where it comes from.

What size hose do I need for a vacuum hose my line broke running from pump to firewall

I am in the market for a track bar as the title would imply. However im looking into this dodge offroad place. http://store.dodgeoffroad.com/ he's got a ton of options and customization for lift kits etc. I like his design. He's claiming a 100% success rate or i think he actually says he's got a 0% failure rate. My truck is lifted and i definitely use my truck but i try to take care of it. I hate cheaping out on certain things that I know are notorious for problems. Im just seeing if I cant gather a couple opinions.
