2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

does anyone know what the torque spec is for the main hub nut that is on the front axle for the wheel bearing assembly? Also, might be helpful to know the spec for the 4 12point bolts that bolt in from behind and hold it on.I had the driver side seize up on me Friday night on the interstate. Yay! Not bad though..no one got hurt.

Hey guys, new to the site.I am having some issues with my electrical system and and getting really frustrated. Problem: After sitting for more than a few days battery is pretty much dead and truck wont start.After I bought it, I let it sit for like a month and then bam---nothing. So I figured bad batteries, I'd try to drive it more often. Its our 3 vehicle so I just was using it to head to the mtns to go snowboarding and to the beach (throw the surfboard in the back) and for camping --we have a cab-over shell on it. Anyways, I have the batteries checked---Autozone says one battery bad, Alt OK. I replace both batteries and cross my fingers. Starts great for about a week…

Scrap yard has a '94 Dodge 2500, 4x4, V8 (transmission doesn't work, no wheels). I have a '99 dodge 2500, 2x4 with a 24 valve. What will transfer to my truck? I'm getting the parts dirt cheap.I've already gotten:rear-view mirrorsheadlightshood & grillebrake boxfloor mats ()My dad thinks the alternator will swap out from that truck to mine - what I've found online so far says no.Thanks in advance!

well i started my day with a call from work sayig take the day off. YIPPEEE working on my cummins all day:thumb1:. got the valve cover gaskets changed, oil changed, and the brakes bled.fired the truck up.....and shortly after i notice fuel dripping down the side of the tank, so i crawl under and look and sure enough at the top of the tank its dripping around the area of the HEAVILY rusted steel fuel line leaving the top of the tank.in my honest opinion both steel lines look to be in poor condition with flaking rust, which is ironic because theyre one of the only things rusty underneath of the whole truck.so what it comes down to.....--IS there a place to get aftermarket f…

Going to the junkyatd today. What size socket for the steering wheel? --- Update to the previous post... Picked up a very nice stock wheel and airbag for $13.00:hyper:

Well i sold my 1st gen and finally have gotten motivated on finishing fixing up my 2nd gen. But i have a few last minute add ons i want to put on before shes on the road.Current truck info. 1996 ram 12v 2500 2x4 5spd. Motors bone stock except for the kdp tab. Everything else is stock 166kI already ordered an s&b intake (slightly used but not a bad deal off of ebay,I have done searching of all sorts and have chosen my exhaust. Going with 5 inch flo-proaluminized no muffler ( we will see how long that lasts)The one thing i curious of was, i want to get a three gauge pillar pod. I will get the boost and pyro but whats a good gauge to get for the third? I had a trans temp…

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/

Anyone ever taken the seat heaters from one seat and put in another? I have access to factory heated seats but they are the wrong color so I thought if the elements are removable just put them in my seats.

Well, it finally happened! My console quit working. Went to start the truck up this morning and no information showing. The lights and the security system still work though. Sad thing is I keep finding my self looking up for the temp. reading. I wonder how long it is going to take for me to quit that pattern! LOL

Does anyone know if the receiver hitch that came from the factory will fit on the front of the truck? I took it off and put a class V hitch on the rear.Thanks.

I have the above mentioned truck. The ONLY guage that works is the tach. I sent the ECM to cardone to be R&R and they sent it back saying it was fine. I obviously have some sort of wiring issue but weve literaly been tracing wires and making sure theres grounds and 5 volt references and 12 volts....etc for a few months now. Any typical places where a wire might have broken? Any other ideas what might be wrong? Im also looking for a wiring diagram for the wires behind the guage cluster. Those 2 square plugs that the guage cluster plugs into.Any help would be fantastic

Is it normal for some amount of slow leaking on the airbags? I put mine on new a couple mos. ago and loose about 10 lbs a week or so.

Drilled a hole in my evaporator core while troubleshooting my heater problem. Looks like the dash is coming out the week after christmas

Hopped in the truck to go hunting tonight cranked the blower up on high and just about crapped. This thing vibrated so bad I thought the dash was going to come apart.Everything sounds ok on the lower two speeds but when I put it on the third or fourth speeds I think I need safety glasses and a helmet.

Okay so yesterday the fuel gauge was showing a little under half which was correct. I parked the truck for maybe 2 hours and got back in it to drive and fuel now shows it is on Empty and the fuel light is on. Went and put some fuel in it and it didn't change... So I guess the fuel sender is probably out?? Can you buy that seperate from the canister or does it come together? A from a dealer I suppose?

My back tires are bald in the centers which tells me overinflation which I do run 60-70psi in all the time, loaded or not. I know Mike has that calculator but I am not convinced it works seeing as how no load would mean no pressure. The front tires are bald on the insides, which tells me the springs are shot, which I'm sure they are lol. Airbags for the front was only $80 so I will get the front jacked up to fix that issue.However, how do you know where level is? If I jack the front up, how do I know when the tires are perfectly flat on the ground, not leaning to one side or the other? This should factor in tire pressure probably since more pressure will make the cen…

I have the heated, power mirrors. The driver side has not worked since I bought the truck, the passenger side just went out this year. Any hints on common failure points? This might be just the excuse I need to buy the flip up tow mirrors though.

I came across an article about a track bar repair called "Luke's Link". It is supposed to rebuild the worn end of the track bar better than stock and be adjustable should it ever loosen up. Cost is $69 at Vulcan Performance.Has anyone tried this?I have a friend who is about to buy a track bar and I thought of telling him about this, but thought I would check to see if anyone has tried it yet.

I am installing a set of gauges (EGT, Boost, Transmission Temp) and am not real sure where to hook to boost gauge in to the engine. Pictures or a video would be helpful if there are any available.I am getting ready to drill and tap the exhaust manifold for the EGT gauge tomorrow, so if anyone has a picture of where you drilled your hole in the manifold that would be great too.Thanks...

Do you use Seafoam in you diesel??If so, why?If not, why?Just looking for everyones opinion on this.
