2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain

    After my new paint job is complete, sometime early spring, I'm going to move on to the dash replacement. I've decided I am going to replace dash versus a dash cover glued on. Since I am going that route, the heater core will be accessible. Should I go ahead and replace it too even if it's not leaking? Wasn't sure how widespread the leaky heater core problem is. I have 108k miles.

    So my seat swap was a success, but not without a hiccup. The drivers seatbelt will unwind about half an inch and lock. That's as far as it will go! I tried shaking it, beat on the back of the seat, and stuck my pinky finger in trying to find a release. Any ideas on what to try next?

    Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't switch out my manual seats to power? Need to replace mine and all I've found is electric. Any chance the plug under the seat provides power? I know I'll have to put in a realy/fuse in fuse box, but is there anything else?

    So @KATOOM wants to know more about my mystery clunk. When unloaded I have a pretty nasty clunk/crash that can be felt in the floor. Steering doesn't seem to be effected though. It is directly related to when you unload the front suspesnion. From the drivers side it feels like it is coming from the passenger side, from the passenger side it doesn't feel as bad. Before we get into what I have replaced we need to look at the history of my truck, the PO must have broke the front axle as i have a 1994 d60 under the front rather than the 2000 that I was supposed to have on the truck, Things I have replace that made no diff…

    Anyone know the colors of wires I'm looking for? I'm hooking up a backup camera and a backup light on my canopy. What's the wire color going to the trailer plug that's reverse lights? Is there a better place to tap than the wires going to the trailer plug? Tap connector and liquid electrical tape to make the connection?

    I replaced my door panels and the window motor on passenger side of my 1999 3500. Now my power locks don't work and I can't figure out why! Any suggestions?

  7. Started by dripley,

    Well the other week while poking the passenger side overhead light it broke and would not click on or off anymore. Beings I had a lot else on my plate it seemed pretty insignificant at the time. So last week I went for the drivers side and bang it came apart. So this weekend I pulled the console and put them back together. All the parts were still in the console and it seems that the switches had just come apart. I glued them back together with RTV since that was all I had and hope they stay together. If not I will super glue them the next time.

    Just finished installing new headlights from SAP. These are the ones from the link you supplied. First picture is before second is after. Headlights were good quality and came with bulbs. Even better my Brother box works with them.

    OK guys can some one guide me to a post or give my some help, my wipers will randomly park in different places when turned off or on intermentet what could be causing this.

    Ok so I pulled the door panels this morning to replace the door handles as they were old and getting stuck in the up position causing passengers to slam the door without it shutting. As some of you probably could have guessed I broke just about all of the door panel retainers. The stealer ship and most online places want 5-6 bucks apiece...i need 26 so that is not a viable option. Part number is 6505878AA...anyone know of a good replacement, substitution or where I can get them for a better price? I found part number 6503709 that looks like a good replacement and can get 50 each for 6 bucks.

    Looking for the name of the dash piece that is in a manual trans truck that where the cup holders are in a auto trans truck. My cup holder broke and I want to replace it with that panel. Can't seem to find the part anywhere but i can find the diagram with the part.

  13. What do you recommend for LED's and headlight housings? Is there a light/housing combo that you would recommend? I need something that is very bright both short distance and long distance as I do a lot of traveling during the night hours.. Also, they need to perform great during snowy and rainy conditions. Links to products would be preferred. And no, I'm not a fan of light bars. Let's hear those setups/recommendations! (Please include any necessary wiring harnesses for setups)

    Kind of late posting this but I've been busy. I finally round filed the old aluminum canopy and got a Lund Roll Up Tonneau Cover. Works excellent. Pulls rather snug and doesn't flap much and kept my dry wall dry.

    Hi, I have searched but can't seem to find anything definitive that relates. My brother has a 94 and he dropped battery cable and shorted it out under hood. (not sure why truck was running) Anyway of course it is now not charging. He has had alt tested and appears to be OK. He has bypassed the ECU with a regulator no difference. He has supposedly checked the Fusible link and its OK, I have been doing some reading and every once in awhile someone refers to crank sensor, what does this have to do with a non charge situation? He is going to bring truck to me so I thought I would pose for suggestions. I cant validate the alt test at all so I will check diodes to see where t…

    Looking for options on the rear view camera to help with trailer hookup and general use, please share your thoughts. Some options may include: navigation, Bluetooth, etc. Looking at multiple options as I need a new stereo also, that has usb port for music and Bluetooth for phone. 1. single din flip up screen. Not too many choices for quality, mixed reviews, screeks break. 2. double din. More to chose from, even android auto for qwadzilla tuning, but lots of work on dash. will kill many birds with one stone. 3. rear view mirror replacement with another one that has a built-in monitor, and get a regular cd player that has usb and Bluet…

    I was checking to see why my block heater stopped working and found that the plug had burned off. It looks like it got moisture in it and corroded and caused it to arc. Something you may want to check once and a while. If it was kept clean it would probably still work. Picking up a new one from Napa today.

    Wife got me a backup camera for my birthday. Came from Costco. Has multiple install options from plug and play to hard wired. Pretty excited about being able to see my trailer ball when hooking up!!! It's a Yada brand.

    I live down in South Mississippi where even on the coldest days it may drop to the 20s in the morning but by the time the sun comes up good temps rise into the upper 30s. and this is only for a few days out of the year. My reason for asking is I read on a couple articles that it can reduce egts. My egts at cruise (75mph) are around 900 degrees and of course shoot up pretty quickly if I get on the throttle at all. Will this help that come down?? I want to go with bigger injectors and Turbo in the near future just trying to save up the funds. Truck is a 2001 ecsb 2500 with a built 47re. It does have a 5inch lift and 35s on 20s which i know play a factor in the problem.…
