1998 24 Valve cab lights
Pull the headliner down and you will see the holes you need to drill from the inside out. I believe I used a 1&1/8" holesaw on mine. You will need to get measurements from a truck with factory cab lights in order to get them straight. Or I think you can buy a kit from dodge with a template but that may only be for newer trucks.

New Bluetooth Stereo Kenwood
If you have the tweeter on the a-pillar, you have the infinity package. The CD player Mike and I have had been discontinued and is no longer available at crutchfield. There are a few upgrades that have integrated Alexa and they should be great!

ac quit
I noticed at the plug that goes into the ac compressor, the black/blue wire is exposed right at the plug. I put it all back together and just for fun put a fuse in and it’s working again. Went for a 30 minute drive and it never missed a beat. I’m sure it will wait till I’m on a road trip to ground out again.

ac quit
Ohm testing the bl/bk wire at the plug at the ac compressor I get about 45.6 That’s with the compressor unhooked and the ac relay out of the pdc. Checking 87 at c125 I get about 1.1 or so

New Bluetooth Stereo Kenwood
Mike, I got that exact radio christmas of 2018 and its been a great radio. I dont use pandora but i do use the hands free and bluetooth. It was about $100 then and it would have been hard to find a radio with the same features for less.

Sway Bar Bent
Mine has been bent since ive had the truck. Ive put new bushings in and the driver side lower gets chewed to nothing. Ive ran with it unhooked and tied up quiet a bit and the ride is better.

ac quit
I stuck one probe in 87 at the plug and the other on the ground battery terminal and it read 1.0-3.0 That is with the ac relay removed from the fuse box

ac quit
The c125 above the fuel filter housing? Ohm testing the black and blue wire at the compressor. Does it go into 87 in the c125? 87 looks to be red/blue tracer Ohm testing between blue/black wire at the wire that plugs to the compressor and 87 of the c125 is starts out high and then goes down to 00.9

ac quit
Thank you. I will ohm test it tomorrow and report back

ac quit
It was the fuse under the hood. I didnt check the fuse panel in the dash

ac quit
I recently changed the oil pressure sensor and must have broken a wire in the harness because the gauges were all dead and wait to start light was flashing when i got done. The local diesel mechanic decided it was a broken ground wire in the harness and instead of tearing the harness apart, just added a ground wire to the tps sensor plug. Its a manual truck so it doesnt have a tps. Everything was back to normal and worked great. A few days later the ac quit cooling completely, like i flipped a switch. I saw that it had a blown fuse so i replaced and swapped relays and it popped as soon as I turned the ac on. I unplugged the compressor from the harness, put in another fuse and it popped as soon as i turned on the ac again. The reason I took it to a mechanic is because im horrible with wiring and the wiring diagrams look like and alien language to me. Anyone got any help for a dummy?

Sounds like an awesome build! What were your mpg numbers with the old 12 valve?

Tachometer wire color
only two more options so I’ll tap into them today. Thanks for all your help
-
Tachometer wire color
I tapped into what I thought was the grey/black wire right off the balancer but I guess it was the wrong one because I get zero one engine speed. 2 more wires to go
-
Tachometer wire color
There are 3 plugs going into the pcm and they all have 32 pins. It looks to me like only the plug on the left has a little metal ring in pin 24 but no grey/black wire.

Tachometer wire color
Thanks IBMobile, that’s exactly the dumbing down I need
-
Tachometer wire color
Thanks Mike! Gray/black black/light blue orange Does it show which has voltage or not? my grandpa used to wire air planes so I’ll get him to take a look at it too.

Tachometer wire color
I haven’t had a chance to look yet but my 98 12v should have two wires connecting to the tach pickup at the balancer. I need to tap into the wire with no voltage but I want to tap into it up on the fire wall. I’m horrible with wiring and color blind so can someone point me to which wire and it’s location, I need to tap into?

Injectors
98whitelightnin replied to Project_blackgold24v's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / PerformanceI ran Weston’s 5x.016 sac in my old 95 and they are top notch, you won’t be disappointed. If you have any questions, give him a call, he will teach you a lot.

Still learning forums
98whitelightnin replied to BrokeAssPainter's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / PerformanceI’ve never heard of a 6x.009 injector. If he does that he will definitely loose his core money. Probably still better off though. Doesn’t DAP sell some house brand that don’t require cores?

Average mpg for basically stock truck
I don’t remember them being a smoke show or anything. Tuning would obviously be best but they should be fine. I hate to advise someone to get such small injectors and wish they’d gone bigger. I did the same thing when I first started but no one told me any different because I hadn’t discovered forums and didn’t k ow anyone else that had swapped injectors. I put three different sets in my first 98, starting small ending with 7x.010. A 7x.009 or .095 would probably be ok too, those are basically what I run on my 12v in a 5x.012

I would go 7x.010 or your just wasting money.
