2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

i noticed 2 days ago my transmission got REAL hard to shift gears. well not out of gear, but into gear. i started double pump'n and it is better. i have nv4500 and i checked fluid levels(clutch master and trans). the trans fluid was full and still pretty clear. i flushed the fluid 30-40k ago and filled with dealership fluid. i noticed that the slave cyclinder doesn't have a bleeder valve. the chilton book says the hydraulics are sealed and don't need to be bleed.so...does it sound like the clutch is wore or like i need to bleed?

I replaced my door panels and the window motor on passenger side of my 1999 3500. Now my power locks don't work and I can't figure out why! Any suggestions?

Anyone know a good place to get these as well as the covers ? Assuming its just a straight gasket with essentially a dust cover on top ? Don't want billet but what's best ? W&f ? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?r3a3i0

Hello everyone my Name is Mike. I have an 01 Dodge 3500 w/453000 miles. Having an issue with alternator not putting the required voltage to the batteries. after numerous alt exchanges and no improvement Im at a loss.When the alt is not putting the required 13.5 volts the a/c compressor quits working.

Ok I installed a new blower motor and new resistor (rock auto), Installed Friday. Checked everything working good Previously my AC Blower would sometimes not go on, then go on a few miles or more down the road Sunday after a trip to the store , Start truck to head home and the blower motor doesnt go on again. Damn it ! I mess with on and off switch and speed switch nothing, pull into get fuel about 1 mile away and the blower goes on. Worked fine the rest of the way home. At home I pulled and reinstalled both the relay (under the hood) and the fuse(side of dash) everything good and blower is working fine now still …

replaced my heater core a while back. Now the cruise control light in the dash does not work. The cruise control functions normally, just no light. Anyone know how to address this problem?

I have been told that the wiring for the fog lights is part of the main lighting harness and not able to be ordered separatly. Is this true and if not does anybody have a part number or pictures of where it connects into the main harness so I can make the fog light harness. Thank you,

I have not seen a lot of info on these, so I thought I'd ask you guys. Will I see any benefit in putting traction bars on my truck? I know they keep the rear axle from twisting, not that I do burns outs and stuff, but I've heard it helps a lot with washboard roads and smoother take off with the clutch from a stop. Ive gotten used to it, but man there are still times the clutch likes to shake the crap out of you, usually when reversing up a slight hill (It has done this before and after a new clutch.) What are the benefits? If im towing of hauling a heavy load, is there anything I need to keep in mind in regards to the bars? Like are there situations wher…

Is there a way to find out what gear ratio my truck's diff has? I know I could call a dealer with the VIN but I was wondering if there was any other way.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not (if not someone can move it). I am looking for/considering a 2nd gen dodge cummins. I came across this dealer online and was wondering if anyone has dealt with them and what you guys think of this place. Seems like they have some clean trucks. Any input and advice would be appreciated. http://www.usedcumminstrucks.com/

Just bought a 12 valve. First few things acting funny so far are the fuel gage. When i top the truck off it stays on full and throughout the trip drops to E and comes back up. 2nd thing, when driving with the AC on, if i pull into a fuel station and go to put it in park from drive she sometimes stalls. Any help much apprecited.

I recently noticed that I had power steering fluid leaking from the weep hole on the bottom of the hydro booster of my 01 Dodge 2500. So I ordered the seal kit containing the inner seal and figure 8 seal. The install went as follows: Pumped the brake 3 times, unbolted the master cylinder from the hydro booster, unbolted the brake booster, removed the 3 power steering lines, and then removed the hydro booster and brake booster in one piece. I then separated them and replaced the seals while making certain that the inner seal actually went around the piston and didn't tear. I bolted the 2 housings back together then put the spring, rod, and washer back in befo…

I`m a converted 7.3 Powerstroke Ford guy and one must add a conditioner to the antifreese coolant to stop pitting. Is this also required for the Cummings 5.9 24 valve diesel as well. Tx.

I picked up another 12V power outlet in the yard and want to replace my cig lighter with it since I dont smoke. I cut the panel upto get the other one out. How do you remove the lighter without destroying the panel? FSM says external snap ring pliers put I cant find any that work. In the FSM it looks like the pins on the pliers point away from ech other. Never seen a set like this.

If this doesn’t belong in this section, sorry. i dropped my tank to not only get it ready for the install but to really look at it. An 18 yr old truck just needs it - my .02. anyway, I broke off the connection to the fuel line and noticed that the line - to the frame - had been crimped the whole time and always wondered why I got hesitation at WOT. question, do I need the fuel line or not ? i highlighted the culprit.

I was replacing the bulbs in my clearance lights on my 01 Dodge 2500 4x4 and the parking lights and turn signals went out. There is power to the fuse and the fuse is fine! I will replace the relay next but I'm not sure where it is. I smelled something hot and it went away to fast to trace it. Not sure what to do next, I'm a fabricator/race-car builder, not an electrician. Frankly, i'm scared........LOL! Any help is appriciated, Thank you in advance. Chris,

Over a year I bought a new set of component speakers and finally tried to install them. The tweeter doesn't fit in the stock a-pillar location, and since I can't return them I decided to mount as shown in the photo. Should've just bought the normal speakers! Live and learn...

I toasted my AC compressor, i got a new one and a a bottle of oil. There are no instructions so how much oil do I put in the compressor?

Switch could be bad but it hasnt given me any troubles before. Checked fuses but all looked good, guess one could be bad anyway. Am I missing something on getting the gauge back lights working? Also installing gauges and would want dimmable option, I have only have positive and negative lead wires. I also dont remember wiring and installing gauge pods to be so difficult, I am having a time getting everything sorted out and routed. Edit: tabs on a pillar broke so time to epoxy... before they broke still had some wobble to the whole thing...

Seems like everytime I try and give this truck any love or attention she gets all crazy on me. We make up eventually and it can get wild, but sometimes she loses her stuff. Oh wait, we're talking about trucks? So I was trying to continue to work on it, performing the center steering adjustment, when the key would no longer turn, in the ignition! I feel like I've tried everything to get the dang thing to turn but it just doesn't seem to want to happen. I took the ignition switch assembly off the column and tried to work on it that way. Still, to no avail, I cant get the key to turn. With a little more research, I tried to get the lock cy…
