2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

Was losing air for last few weeks, found a leak in a tire valve. It's leaking where it goes through the rim. I took it out and it was starting to tear. I have 4th gen rims and I believe the size is Tr413 .453" My question is can I use any valve or does it have to be a truck specific. I have some Milton ones that I use on everything else, just not sure of psi rating. The one that came out used to have tpms sensor attached to it, po kept the sensors when I got the rims, valve works without the sensor.

Truck got backed into last year by a 5th wheel camper. Decided to upgrade the battering ram with a pre bent, pre cut kit from Hardcore Off-road.

Got at it a little bit this weekend, waiting on more primer , herculiner and gun so I can wrap up the passenger side ..

Not 1 picture of this project. Removed the 2 1/2" front lift, installed a set of 3" drop shackles in the rear. Replaced shocks, steering box, pump, upper & lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, track bar bushings, end links, bottom steering shaft bushing, plus installed the 4th gen steering components & brush painted every thing with black tremclad rust paint. Ball joints were new about 20,000 km's ago. Now I know I will be able to keep this thing out of the ditch with the Quad installed, well maybe.

Abs light comes on and have codes for right front open, right front short and no signal on right front as well as rom code and time out codes

After I got my lift pump situation figured out, I started driving the truck to work more since my road was in the middle of mud season. Upon driving it more regularly, I noticed something that concerned me, ALLOT. The condition is created mostly when I go around corners. When I apply the brakes, I notice something strange also, but not sure if the two are related. Upon rounding a curve, if I go a little fast, enough to feel it in the seat of my pants, so to speak, it feels like all the sudden I hit ice. It's a warm sunny day, no ice. But all of the sudden it's like I lose some steering as if I hit ice. I end up correcting about 1/8th …

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…

Is this the normal spot for the temp gauge to run or should I try replacing the thermostat?

2001 Dodge 2500 Cummins, automatic, 4X4. Stalked this forum for awhile. Had the dreaded transmission lock, unlock problem. Burnt up trans so put in a reman. Rerouted the grounds per mopar1973man instructions. I knew it could be done but needed pics. Many thanks. Fixed that issue.. Charging system decided to work intermittent so double checked all wiring. No issues. Also installed 2 new batteries. Decided it was PCM so installed an external voltage regulator cutting out the PCM in that circuit. (Hate the way Dodge decided to route the alternator and the TCM together.) No charge. Changed the fuses for the alternator. Bench tested the alternator and it showed good but go…

Mike, where did you mount all the wiring doo-dads?

I was wondering what everyone has been using for 6x9 front door replacement speakers? I have a 2001 with OEM stereo (not Infinity). Not looking for anything fancy.

Underhood light mid using the write up in the tech section. Love it!

I bought a stock set of lights for the truck from 1a auto and they fit good except where they meet the grille. Is they’re an adjustment or are these just crappy fitting lights? One photo is the old light and the other is the new housing.

I'm sure I've bled the system and have checked ABS sensor connections, kinda at a loss at this point.

I recently purchased a 98 Ram 2500 - 12 valve. The high beam indicator light was burnt out, or so I though. When I removed the bulb, I realized that the light was not burnt out, but instead one of the contacts had been bent back to prevent connection. When I replaced the bulb and reassembled the dash, the high beam indicator was stuck on. I guess I now know why the bulb was modified. Now the high beam indicator light is constantly illuminated. It doesn't matter if the pickup is running or not. On top of that, the switch is reversed. Meaning, when I switch to low beam, the high beam light comes on. When I switch to high beam, the indicator shuts off. When I shut …

Does anyone have a cab wiring harness diagram? I got a new led cargo light and the dang thing wont go off (clear only ) so I need to start tracing wiring to see what's going on... Diagram would be very handy Thanks!

Does anyone know of a good and "reliable", for lack of a better word, VIN decoder for the Dodges? I'd like to see how my truck was configured when it was new, back in the day.

I am still running a isolator on my fuel pressure gauge and I don't think its reading right. I remember some sort of needle valve, is there a brand or size I should look for ?

I ordered a Curt 56071 but upon install, found my truck doesnt have any plugs. Ive put these in the bed of other dodge trucks in the past and its a simple plug and play. Did some trucks not come with plugs? My truck came with trailer tow group and has the 7 way plug under the bumper but it looks like a universal style plug. I guess the po may have changed it out for some reason. Should I try to find a factory unit from a wrecking yard and then splice a plug into my harness? I really hate wiring and being color blind has never helped.

As the title says all my heat and ac are going to defrost. My vacuum lines are all connected and I have vacuum at the pump, at the 90 on the fire wall and at the 90 that turns into the firewall to the hvac. I do not have vacuum at the switch. I cannot seem to find a pin out, for lack of a better term, for the connection to the controls. I am assuming the black tube is the one supplying vacuum to the controls. Not sure that matters since I can feel no vacuum at any point on the connector. I am seriously thing of capping the line at the passenger side firewall and just bringing a new one thru the driverside straight to the connector. Does any one know if that supply line co…
