2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

I got my auto meter pyrometer installed today in my big Massey... the one with the 903 Cummins.Just like the instructions said, it buzzes when the gauge sweeps up and down (auto calibration). But, today was around 30 degrees outside, and the gauge said it was 300-400, with a stone cold engine.I didn't want to fire up the engine (takes too much fuel just to hear it run, and it wasn't plugged in either).Do these things need some time to 'learn' the curve? or do I have a dud?

Around 4 weeks for order ... Starting Before pics 1st one done

My truck didn't come with fog lights. Want to install in the bumper in the OEM location. I see that on eBay that there are lights with mounts. I've got the wiring figured out thanks to Michael's diagram for driving lights (separate thread). Can I just bolt these suckers on the existing bumper without the inserts?been readin around the site. Some are saying the factory fog lights are worthless. Ive got them on my 2006 mega cab and I like em. Are the 3rd gen lights better?

Had just left the house on a 300 mile round trip. Got about 8 miles down the road travelling 55 mph when all the sudden the steering wheel started shaking. It got worse by the second, so I immediately began slowing down to pull off to the side of the road. As I slowed, I started smelling a very strong brake smell, and by the time I got to a stop the smoke was rolling over top of the hood . This is the second time this has happened to me in the past year. I replaced my original rotors almost 2 years ago as they were due for replacement and while I was in there put new Napa calipers on. They lasted 8 months before the left front siezed up on me. Luckily I was only going up…

You guys see anything wrong with running the trip wire for the relay from a tap connector on the bright lights wire hot wire? I've got all the parts, but have not wired it up yet.

Hopefully i dont have to remove dash.better yet, how do i keep them out and how do they get there in the first place?

So this morning I installed an adjustable overflow valve and finally got my fuel pressure back in check. after finishing I took my truck for a test drive. As soon as I got to the end of my road I noticed my ABS and brake lights were still on. I pulled the emergency brake handle again but they still stayed on. The truck does run or stop any different then it did before. I did some searching in a bunch of forums and have read countless threads on this same problem. I first checked my wiring running from the RWSS Along the frame. It was chaffed through the protective loom but not through any of the wires. Then I ran up to advanced auto and picked up a new RWSS for …

Hi all,I need some advice on some factory style extended mirrors. I put a truck camper on her & a larger mirror would help make things a bit easier. If I went salvage yard hunting would I be able to find a good used set? Are there many trucks that had them. Seems like most the 2nd gens running around here have the small stock ones.What should I look out for? Easy install? Any aftermarket ones to stay away for or that you would recommend?Thanks,Dave

My "new" "used" 2006 Lone Star 4x4 quad cab 5.9 cummins has an emblem on the tailgate that say "RamLock". In searching the internet for RamLock I see references to automatic locking tailgate and also to locking differential. So what exactly is "RamLock"?

Has anyone attempted to resolve the peeling black sticker stuff in between the side windows? I have seen a number of trucks afflicted by this. Is it vilable somewhere? I was thinking of cutting out some black vinyl and slapping it on. Maybe paint? I can just imagine the old stuff being a pain to remove. Your thoughts.

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…

Is it difficult to change the tie rod ends yourself? Any good links?

To start with ive always hated the silver rockers, and this past winter pinch weld in the drivers door started to rust. I had planned on getting the rust stoped and having the rockers line x color matched to the red. ive got a quote of $1400. At that price line x is out of the question I've convinced my self that i would like the black rockers better than silver with rust spot in drivers door lol So has any one used any of the DIY bed-liners? How have they held up? what is your opinion on red trucks with black rockers?

Hello. Looking to tighten up the front end on my 01' with 225k due to steering wheel play and a little slop. Question I have, do you guys recommend replacing the pitman arm, tie rod, steering damper, track bar, control arms, etc or should I just replace the bushings and any worn out parts? Trying to not break the bank but at the same time I dont want to end up doing the work only to find all new parts were a better route for this repair...Thanks!

Dang the luck...I just lost a ABS sensor on my truck its the front driver sensor for sure the weather jacket is broke open and the inner wire is exposed. So sad but true I need to find a ABS sensor for my rig. Does anyone out there have leads on a cheap ABS sensors or maybe have salvaged a set of them?

I have an issue that appears mostly when cold but it is getting more frequent. If I hit the brakes even halfway fast the pedal will kickback at me and then go down. In really cold weather I can feel this action in the steering also which leads me to believe it may have something to do with the pump. I bought this truck a couple of years ago and the brakes have always had a lag on releasing. The light will stay on for a couple of seconds after releasing the pedal so I just wanted to get some opinions. I have the usual wander on the highway and I figure I am going to have to replace the box at some point but I do not think this is part of that issue. This is a TWO wheel dri…

This is my new project. I've got the tig, the cutting tools, sander, etc... I found the basic steel design photos but was wondering if anybody had any input. I was also thinking if I made one I might as well make two. Whats a fair price for a good aluminum bumper?
