2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

ok need a little help here .....I tried a search on the forums and I either did not type in the info or there isnt any thing here ...trying to figure out (1) how difficult and involved changing my duallie rear ...both the bed and the axle to a single rear would be and (2) how it might look ...if some one has any pics or knows where some might b of a truck that has had this conversion done ....:pray:

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if the 8 lug wheel dodge uses is the same as chevy and ford. I found a nice set of ford superduty wheels and tires for sale for pretty cheap and would like to get them. UNLESS they dont fit.

Like the title says, does anyone else have a problem with the horn/security system activating when you use the key fob to unlock the door? Its starting to get old lol.. Usually hitting the unlock button again will stop the horn sounding.. It happens about every 10-20 cycles of the door locks and mostly after rainy humid weather..Cant find any water getting into the truck. I know the truck has the premium central timer module because it has heated seats.. Can the central timer module be reflashed or does it have to be replaced? Also im supposed to be able to unlock the door with the key; turn it in the unlock direction twice and disable the secure keyless entry.. I have tr…

Any one els have a slt+ truck with manual mirrors? Im pretty sure the previous owner may have removed them to add the manual towing mirrors. Just cant imagine the truck being leather power everything heated seats and manual mirrors... If I decide to go to electric mirrors where can the switch for the mirrors be purchased other than the dealer.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Headlights.. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OUR TRUCKS HAVE GROUND SWITCHING SYSTEM "Meaning the switch in the Cab interrupts the Ground circuit and not the power... HAVING TROUBLE IDENTIFYING THE 3 SMALL WIRES IN OEM #9004 PLUG, NEED TO HOW IT COMPLETES THE CIRCUIT SO I CAN TRIGGER THE RELAYS WITH THEMI am installing new Sport Headlights... Made my own Wiring Harness w/Relays using 10 & 12 Gauge Wire.. 14gauge on the Trigger wires. sordered all terminals & connections and used Marine Heat-shrink tubing which has a glue in it that melts & sqeezes out the ends to bond to the wire insulation.. WILL POST PICTURES AND SPECIFICAT…

Guys, having a tough time wrapping my thick head around the heating and A/C systems on the Ram 2500. Have worked on cars for most of my life and never seen something like this.First off had a diverter door go out. Took it into a good A/C shop here in town and they fixed it, pulling the entire dash out and replacing the door assy. Drove off thinking that finally after owning the truck for 18 months that the little knob called the "temp control" might now work! Well dammit, it does not!Put the A/C in max A/C and no change but believe that this is normal. Move the mode controller to the second position, normal A/C and once again the temp control knob might as well not even b…

Sorry for posting yet another thread.Thinking since my shop is in truck, might get the suspension upgraded as this will be our daily driver soon should the engine/valves/head etc check out.Thinking new front Thuren coils (0-2") , and bilstein front and rear shocks.Think the coils are around $300 and the shocks around the same for all four. So $600 and then labour.What kind of difference would that make to a stock ride - I have NO idea. How noticeable ?

I was not liking the way big blue was handling lately, so I checked out the steering system, and found the lash is getting pretty sloppy in the steering box. This steering box had a plug on it, so I drained the fluid being it was due. Put in fresh ATF, prime it, pump the brakes and turn the wheel back and fourth to get things circulating. Notice the pedal went to the floor pretty easy, and even felt a pull while braking today? Well, I guess it was ready to go, and pumping on the pedal did it in, oh well at least it happened in the drive way. So I guess I have a job to do tomorrow. Brake lines, and steering lash.

Well gang... I finally swap my tires for offroad use and firewood hauling. I've been running a Big O at for the streets and light dirt road use (in town). But now with firewood season I'll be doing more dragging and skidding of trees so I put on the aggressive tires. So I popped a few pics... You'd be surprised on how heavy the 265/75 R16 are compared to a 235/85 R16...

I am down to my last bottle of Valvoline Semi-Synthetic power steering fluid. Can't seem to find anymore. I draw out the power steering fluid in the pump reservoir at each oil change and refill with new just to keep the PS fluid fairly fresh. What are you guys using? Thanks.

Taking my stock exhaust off, got it undone where the downpipe hooked to the resinator, how the **** to I get the downpipe out from underneath? I tried taking it up through past the otor, tried all different ways but can't figure it out. I stumped!

Anyone running dynamite 50 hp injectors or know anything about them.

On my 2002 2500 there's a couple things I can't seem to figure out what there for. First is under the cowl piece where the wipers fasten on, on the passenger side there is a black rectangular shape box with what appears to be some type of very small hose coming off it, like a vacuum hose. Mines never been hooked to anything and i'm wondering what it's for :shrug:Second, on the headlight wiring harness I have a plug for my headlight bulb, a plug socket for my signal turn bulb and there's another plug connector there not being used...anyone poosibly know what that's for

Calipers, rotors, ? Anything else? 17" wheels (which I have)Thanks.

My truck chatters upon launch at almost any rpm idle or not. I think it has a aftermarket clutch in it, is there anything else that you guys can think of that would cause this? I've been under the truck looking for loose items but cannot seem to find anything that is loose (driveline, rearend shackles etc.)Thanks.If you really really really hit the clutch just right at a idle you can get it to drive without chattering but thats it.. Its really annoying when pulling a big trailer.

My dually started having a weird vibration I think its from the front at 40mph or so mostly at a cruise or decell situation and not so noticeable if at all when I'm accelerating. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have a 1998.5 that I just recently bought and the cruise control does not work. The truck has a NV4500 transmission, when I depress the button the light does not come on I have tried using the set button but nothing happens. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry folks I been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out whats wrong with my truck, have not been hanging around much. Ohhhh so thats what that red think in the top of the screen is. It tells you when someone leaves a message. hahahahaIf you still need the wrench I can fix you up.

Is there any REAL, USABLE difference in off road traction in a standard AT vs. HT tire?Let's take a 265/75/16 load range E:BFG Rugged Trail vs. BFG All TerrainMichelin LTX/MS vs. Michelin LTX/ATTransforce HT vs. Transforce ATOpen Country HT vs. Open Country ATIs there enough extra off road traction in an AT to justify the shorter life span of the tire?

Low beams are not functioning properly. High beams work fine if I pull on the stalk, but they do not click into high and stay there. If I want the high-beam lights to work I have to hold the stalk. I only get hi-beams and if I let go I get nothing.The backstory: I was driving home from work this weekend and using my headlights on the Pacific Coast Highway. It was foggy in spots and the low beams were working fine, I think. At least they worked fine the night before... At one point I sped up for a pass and flashed my high-beams to indicate I was coming through. (It's a narrow road in most places.) As it was getting dark, I realized the low beams were not working. Any…
