2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

I have just finally resealed the Hydroboost on my truck only had the seal kit for most of this year, MOT (our yearly check) is overdue so as it was leaking and that would be a fail I decided nows the time. The reseal went ok, had to cut the rod as it's a staked item, I was going to make a threaded joiner on my lathe but decided against that as the inner bore of the input seals are tiny compared to the rod they have to be fitted over to get to their grooves and didn't want sharp threads incase I had to ever reaseal again, anyway thats all done and rod welded back together. Question is has anyone got a picture of the accumulator looking right in it, speci…

Auto parts store I've done business with for 20 years doesn't carry AC Delco anymore. Napa is the only thing worth a damn around here now. Whats your thoughts on Napa ball joints?

I recently had the parking brake hang up a little while leaving for work in the morning. I know the cable from the left rear wheel is in bad shape, outer casing is bunched up and looks to be the culprit. I would like to just replace both cables going to the rear wheels. They aren't very expensive on RA but there are so many I'm not entirely sure which ones to order. Am I going to have to measure the cables since there seems to be different lengths? There also seems to be a cut off, parts must have changed after 7/00. Mine was built 2/00 so I at least figured that part out. Truck should be in the sig but just in case it's a 2001 (man. Date of 2/00 ) ram 3500 quad ca…

So I want to get rid of factory speakers, but this one has the premium audio. So by chance does anyone know if I try to get another set of new 2.0ohm for the (non oem) speaker will it work? Or do I need to gut the doors & rewire? Next it has the heated + power mirrors But there little, anyone know if a plug and play mirrors works ? [Ive ordered mirrors before offline and none of the included studs have ever worked :P]

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.

I've had it with mine, they ride so dang stiff, reminds me of my 79 F-150 when I had 6 Rancho shocks on it. I'll be pulling them off soon and tossing a set of Monroe Reflex shocks back on it. I asked my co-worker, if I was an old man with a glass taint, what shocks would you sell me? It's ok, she already thinks I'm weird. If anyone is interested in them I'll be tossing them in the classifieds when I get them out.

Hey all! Back again with more questions lol. So I am wanting to replace the the 2 bars for steering (I get confused with what to call them my bad, tie rods I'm assuming?), steering box (planning to go with a blue top), sway bar, track bar, and possibly ball joints, alignment shop told me one or both had a little bit of play but told me I wouldn't have issues with tire wear. If there are parts I'm missing that I should replace, please tell me below! Tire wear has been fine I believe and its been about 5k miles. Need to rotate soon. I have a LOT of slop in the steering, possibly kind of dangerous at this point lol. Biggest question is what brand to …

Hey folks someone has already repaired the seat heater element in my 2001, does anyone know of a replacement element I could buy? I'm seeing some generic ones for sale but wasn't sure if they will work with the factory switch.

HAS ANYONE HAD THE SIDE CLEARANCE/IDENTIFICATION LIGHTS, INCLUDING TAILGATE STRIP, JUST STOP WORKING? TRIED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE ONE AND NOW NONE OF THEM LIGHT. CANNOT FIND ANY REFERENCE TO A FUSED CIRCUIT FOR THE LITTLE GUYS IN THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK AS INTENDED, ROOF MARKERS, FRONT AND REAR RUNNING AND HAZARDS. I'M AT A LOSS HERE.

I’ve just about on information overload In searching out this abs brake issue and trying not to parts change components until I find the problem, I do have rear brake abs along with rear drums, abs and brake light come on only after first full application of brakes and will stay on along with the spongy and week brakes, system will reset itself when I turn key off and then the cycle starts again the first time brakes are applied, they act like air in the system and it seems like I can gain a little by pumping but not much. I have not tried bleeding at the wheel because it seems if it’s leaking internally it wouldn’t do any good, It does not leak any fluid. The speedo work…

I took the truck to work today as I wanted to swing by Harbor freight and get a small crane for the back of my truck. On my way home I managed to smash my passenger side mirror into the driver side mirror of a 2017 F-350. Thankfully the guy was super cool about the whole thing and agreed to let me just buy a new mirror and install it for him. I went through 1Aauto and found his mirror for $400, for comparison the dealer wanted $1800. Unfortunately for me I have the fancy power folding 4th gen style mirrors that you have to buy in pairs for $500. I was hoping maybe I could just replace the glass as the body is still intact but I can see one of the gears has a flat sp…

I have a 5sp with a pedal That I have to push almost all the way to the floor and it engages low also. It did this before and after a clutch install. Do I need a new clutch slave cylinder?

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a financial spot and have some death wobble. My traction bar has play at both ends when checking it out however, my issue is that the track bar in there is moog. I didn't put this in there so I'm guessing the previous owner did however, I want to replace it with a Dodge off road track bar but don't have the cash. I was wondering where I could get a stock/oem track bar so that maybe I could use Luke's link later on if I need to to get by. I'm currently in the middle of restoring mine as I drive her daily to school. Unfortunately money is going to be tight for a hot minute while finishing up some very long term school goals so I can teach

Hey all, planning to rebuild my pump since I believe it works fine and would like to save money on having a shop replace it (whether its a whole new part or paying labor for the rebuild). Should I get a vacuum tester to see if my pump should just be outright replaces? I have no issues with my brakes and whatnot. Only possible vacuum related issue is my front diff not engaging but I plan to install a posi-lok in the future. Cruise control has been working fine again with no surging (fingers crossed) which is the only actual vacuum problem I may have. I don't think that is due to the pump malfunctioning though. Biggest question is are there any write ups on how …

Posted this in the article comments earlier, but figured I’d get more opinions by starting a new thread. Doing the W-T mod this week, wanted to check in one final time and see if there were any new updates or changes to the mod I should know. I am putting in a new Nations 180 amp alternator too. Any suggestions on best place to mount the 200amp fuse holder for the b+ wire? Did Mike/W-T’s biblical like Paul vs Barnabus disagreement about the parallel cables ever get settled? I don’t want to run 4 giant cables across my radiator, but I really really don’t want a fire, or toasted alternator. Mike still says no need for parallel cables as long as grounds are …

Alright guys I wanna see pics of everyones truck! Post em up boys! I’ll start... Here’s the truck I almost bought before my truck. 91 12 valve 5 speed with 236k on the clock.

Hey all, been quite a while since I been on, had alot going on. Stepped out of the Military-may go back in?, moved into a new house, jobs, kids etc you know. Had the truck LITERALLY completely torn apart: re-sealed engine minus head, completely rebuilt the NV5600 and transfercase, new clutch - which is making some very strange noises, sound deadened the whole cab, re-sealed the hvac box top to bottom, new heater core, evaporator, drier, headliner, wheels and tires; I mean the works! Ill have to maybe make a post with all the pictures? I don't know how to add that many pics though. If youd like to see it all give me a shout and how to do it and ill throw it up. …

Hey all, so I am in dire need of new assemblies and lights. I'm going for usability and not looks or anything necessarily (If I can get something that works great and adds a cool look as well then sure but not necessary at all!). I have LED's in there now that are not stock and they seem to plug in to the original wiring. Will post a pic later from my phone and see what yall think and if I'll have to rewire things .

Replaced the seal on my truck while the driveline was being rebuilt, was pretty meticulous about prepping the surface and using rtv to try and seal everything. Got the driveline back installed and took it for a drive and is leaking worse than before. I used an impact to remove and re install the pinion nut and used a new nut. I’m wondering if maybe I got the wrong seal? Through my reading I think there is a flanged and non flanged yoke, and I thought mine was non flanged. Also wondering the removal process for the breather tube as thinking that could be part of the problem. Thanks Also I used a speed sleeve on the yoke to repair the pinion sleeve and this is the se…

I had to rebuild the hydro-boost on my rig for a leaking seal. Found a YouTube page with very good instructions for the repair. They did recommend replacing the brake light switch also as it was a one time use only item. If you didn't replace it your brake lights would stay on all the time. Seems like it loses it's setting once the brake peddle is disengaged. Got a new switch and the install was fairly simple. Took the old unit apart to see if I could "reset" it. I was expecting a small circuit board of some kind but it was totally mechanical. Not sure I'm seeing what could be out of whack just by removing and replacing the switch on to the same peddle & rig. It'…
