Replacement 6x9 door speakers
Nothing wrong with polks man. I've found that for the price point, boss has really made a name for themselves for midrange speakers. Polk have always been great speakers ?

Replacement 6x9 door speakers
Order online; Boss 6x9s in the doors Boss 6" in the rear doors (they'll fit) Sound stream 1" tweeters in the pillars Kenwood double din for the reciever (nice backup camera too) If you like bass: 2 low profile 10s in a custom box under the back seat with a 4000w amp does nicely I can get more specifics if you want.

Steering Linkage Y, T, ?
Thought I'd update this thread. The issue was a bad Track Bar. I replaced it and now the steering is perfect. I adjusted the drag link so the wheel is right and good as new!

Steering Linkage Y, T, ?
Ok, ball joints are fine by visual inspection and no play at 12&6, and by prying up on the wheel. There is play at 3&9, I'm thinking the tierod ends and drag link need replaced. There is some bump steer that needs to be corrected. Do you all have a recommended seller for the parts or will any HD do? I've heard to stay away from Moog.
-
Steering Linkage Y, T, ?
Hm. Now that know the difference, I already have the HD "T" style. Maybe the ball joints are toast, giving me too much play. Does anyone know if the ends are tapered for the 99? I know the pitman arm and drag link are from when I put the lift kit on but don't know about the tie rod ends.

Steering Linkage Y, T, ?
Thanks @CTcummins24V, this looks like the route in may want to go. @Mopar1973Man, yeah running 37x12.5s so they are big, even when I had 285s on it it still wasn't rigjt, I do feel it more now.

Steering Linkage Y, T, ?
Hey y'all, wanted a recommendation. The steering on my Dodge just doesn't feel solid. I have very little play in my wheel, steering box feels fine. I haven't jacked it up to check for wheel movement but assume that either the tie rod ends are going out or it's a combo with the drag link. On to my question. With the 99 model, is the "Y" steering Linkage version a good replacement or are there any recommendations on the "T" conversion if it's even needed. Any links to what others have done in the past? Thanks!

Hey out of curiosity, what's that metal piece on your shifter.

I like the volt meter idea. Looks good man.

Cluster Odometer mileage
This is right up my alley, I may give this a go. Thanks man.

Oil pressure gauge for fuel pressure? Which test port on filter housing on a 99?

Cluster Odometer mileage
See that's what i thought too. I have people swearing up and down that it's all stored in the cluster. Has anyone tried it?

Cluster Odometer mileage
Hey Fellas, Can I swap clusters without any issue with the odometer? I don't care what the odometer says but want to make sure the it won't throw a code.

The dash plastic there is pretty tough. I just pushed em through, breaking the brittle plastic lip ring on the old plugs. Remove the cubby compartment to the right and you can reach the wires and plugs.

Stereo Head unit with Android screen
I hope you have better luck than me, I've tried 2 ebay stereos and both were garbage. As much as I wanted them to work for the price, I returned them both. My main issue is that they had BAD popping on and off and were just we're just plain cheaply made. After the last, I went to Best Buy and got a double din Kenwood and all issues went away. I don't really care about brand names but in the car stereo category, there is a difference. Just my personal experience. Hope you have better luck.

Modern Power Point
Yep, did the same in my old automatic. I got these on eBay. Perfect fit, you don't need the screen on back, they are threaded and that plastic thread holds tightly. Here's the view of the power plugs.

Quadzilla display project
This is great man! Rooted my old tablet and set this up. Really useful. I was always afraid I'd leave my tab running in my car at night. Now I can use a switched power source. Edit: One thing that's nice to add is to delay so if you turn your engine off for fast food or whatever, you have a bit to order without the reboot. Of course this can be any time length. Lastly, this can open your iquad app too, all in one. Here's my final flow. Just remember to connect shutdown back to the top. ?

Quadzilla iQuad - no mph
ugh, well I put the new, freshly programmed and tested PCM in and still no mph on the quadzilla. So I get the speedometer reading on the Cluster but not on the iQuad. I don't even think I can really say it's a truck problem, no check engine light, no codes..yet. Do I need to trace the bus wires around some more? I think I've exhausted everything besides replacing the ECM.

Everyone post a picture of your truck!

2001 Ram 2500 complete interior restoration
In those two areas I could knock on it and hear a hollow sound. The back behind the rear seat was the worst. Aftwards it sounds dense so yeah I think it does. It could do just as well without and use the peal and seal but I chose foam only in those areas. I know after all said and done I can actually have a Bluetooth phone call in my truck when before it was difficult. Music also sounds much better. For as little as it costs it's worth the extra work.

2001 Ram 2500 complete interior restoration
I drilled a few small holes. Were the light red circles are is where I sprayed some expanding foam, let it dry and then just evened it off. Took about 4 cans. I have cloth seats so can't help ya with the leather question.

12v Switched wire - Rear Bumper
cat5 is great to have on hand. I used to have a large wooden spool of it and did the exact same thing for a lot of projects. I need to pick up some more of that.
