    i found water on both driver and passenger sides where i tracked it back coming from underneath the door plastics where it appears to be running down the window channels and falling through the forward most hole in the door panel. i replaced the window channel felt, and both inner and outer window sweeps with no luck. sitting inside the truck i can watch water running down both window channels but since the front access hole in the door panel is much larger and lower, it seems to only be making it through that one. Has anyone else dealt with this situation before? Thank you. 2001 dodge ram eclb 6spd, 2wd

  3. I have a 1999 ram 2500 sport that previous owner put some crap aftermarket led headlights on. I ordered oem 4 bulb (2 each side) headlights and repaired patched in wiring. Once installed the inner bulb on each headlight works as both hi and low. The flashers and running lights work. The outer headlight bulb on each side will not light hi or low. On my way to get my multimeter now. Do the outer two bulbs light on hi only or low and high? Are they a separate fuse? I don't see any cuts like the mains had. P.s. this is a true sport with 2 headlight cables per side not a conversion. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I have a 2002 dodge ram 3500 5.9 high output 6 speed manual i am having issues with, starts fine but when you give it gas it cuts out and starts blowing whitish bluish color smoke. Tested in tank fuel pump it came back bad so i replaced the fuel pump, get in it to prime fuel back into water fuel separator starts and idle fine, killed the truck and went to start it back it started running rough. Gave it a little gas it died now it wont start back? Can anyone suggest what i need to do?

    My box has been seaping for a while as in wet nut, maybe a drop on the ground after being parked. Imagine my surprise stepping out of the Jiffy mart to see a puddle. Couldn't be mine right, after all it has only been seaping. Checked after the next stop and sure enough the same puddle. I had someone turn the wheel to the left as I was watching and it looked like a cow pissing on a flat rock. I have been thinking about a Bluetop from looking at referrals here, but the website says "Out of stock". I already pulled the old seal and will install the new one when I get home early enough. I am hoping it will seal, and stay sealed long enough to get a Bluetop…

    I've been tracking down a noise from the rear end of my truck. It seems like it gets worse the heavier I load the bed. I don't know how it took me this long to find this, but I'm guessing it's a redneck modification on a fifth wheel hitch mount. I'm assuming my "squeak" is the upper spring hitting the piece of angle iron. The other side is NOT like this. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Pictures are drivers side, looking aft.

    When I pull the IOD fuse I hear a click where the seat belt lock is. At that point the seat belt is locked. When I put the IOD fuse back in there's a click and then the belt is free. So in other words it takes power to keep the belt in the free position. Is that normal? Seems that would be a drain after a while. My truck usually only runs on weekends.

    After having to dig through my truck attempting to fix the dome light and the power mirrors. I noticed the light socket was rather burned not melted but that darker burn mark from the heat of the old-school bulbs. I went out to superbrightleds.com and ordered me a new dome light blub and a pair of map light bulbs being winter is coming, daylight saving time will go away and it will be dark in the cab for morning and evening travel. It would be nice to have a bit more light and without burning up the sockets. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/921-led-bulb-15-smd-led-tower-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/910/11267/ https://w…

  14. LED Lighting - Courtesy Lighting Parts listing LED map light bulbs LED dome light bulb Dome light bulb install you need to carefully pry the driverside of the dome light lens downward. It will hinge on the passenger side. Simply pull the bulb and install the new bulb. If it doesn't light up turn it around 180 degrees and install again. Map lights you need to open the garage door panel. Inside there are two tabs and push to the opposite side and carefully pull the overhead panel downwards slightly to release the locks. Once you are done this it pulls rearward to release the panel from the rear side hooks. Be careful older panels mi…

    This is a topic I also posted on the Cummins Forum because I have seen a lot of Dodge folks with the same issue I have. This is what I wrote: This is just a heads up for those folks like me who have the inner dash fame core mount deck assembly broken. I have been trying for several months to locate one and found some on eBay but a complete unit may run from $550.00 to $800.00 depending on the salvage yard that is selling it. Getting pieces from one that might be broke or ruined when removing it doesn't fly either. I have offered to pay a good amount for the broke pieces I need to glue back. With all the glues out there now that work excellent on plastic to pla…

    I caught a sweet deal on a new driver side seat cushion a couple weeks ago. The seat shop was having a sale, $25 off and free shipping. I tried to get one but code didn't work for me so I canceled the transaction and left a comment on their FB page. Somebody replies to apologize and explain the sale didn't apply to 05 and older ram cushions but to give them a call. I call the guy and he explained the situation further and ended up letting me have the cushion for the sale terms anyhow. While replacing the cushion I noticed that while my cover wasn't visibly torn, one of the rods had pushed through on the right side into the middle seat. I reset the rod and springs an…

    Evening all- My dash plastics and door panels have been faded pretty badly by the sun. It's somewhere between the Agate Grey and Light Grey interior colors anymore. I'm looking for a product similar to the "Plastic Renew" to bring back that nice dark grey color. Does anyone have a favorite product that might be better or last longer? I'm looking for longevity mostly.
