  1. Check this out, may be some info here, Also call a wreaking yard that specializes in trucks, they would know. http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-95-96-97-98-99-00-01-DODGE-RAM-1500-PICKUP-ENGINE-5-9L-8-360-VIN-Z-186334-/162122321630
  2. I can get you a copy of an 01 factory service manual on CD.
  3. Getting to be time for pheasant and dove hunting just north of the Mexican boarder. We walk the farm fields to flush out the birds while the Boarder Patrol goes driving around use to flush out the "undocumented" boarder crossers. Some of my friends have been wanting me to go chucker hunting up near Ridgecrest, CA
  4. Along with everything else
  5. This is my wife's dream kitchen
  6. I've done the same thing. The local Appliance Parts Warehouse wanted all most twice as much for the same part on the internet. Like the difference between Napa and RockAuto price. Needs to be heat resistant to stand up to 500°F.
  7. Nice to have you back.
  8. I agree with leathermaneod, the chrome looks good with black wheels and that is one clean truck!
  9. Surprise her for your 20th anniversary. She'll love you for it. A week of camping, fishing, eating and telling lies
  10. I didn't notice that I was on the Optilub XDP site. Summer blend is still a heck of a cost savings.
  11. How much do you buy at a time? I see a gallon (128oz) is $54.46 plus shipping verse the 8oz 6 pack (48oz) for $35.68 plus shipping. Optilub 1oz treats10 gallons Optilub Cost $54.46/1gal (128oz) $.4254/oz or $.0425/treated gallon of diesel Optilub Cost $35.68/6 pack-8oz bottles (48oz) $.7433/oz or $.0743/treated gallon of diesel WalMart Super Tech TC-W3 1oz treats 1 gallon WalMart Cost $12.88/1gal (128oz) $.1006/oz or $.1006/treated gallon of diesel For the same cost you could treat 303 gallons of fuel using Optilub (from the 1gal jug) verse 128 gallons with the Super Tech.
  12. THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!
  13. Check this out http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/391010030469?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
  14. Took a quick trip to Zion National Park in southern Utah this week. These pictures don't do justice to the scale and beauty of the park.
  15. The rebuilder may be thinking about AC voltage causing the PCM not to lock up the overdrive but to wear out clutches and bands along with the sluggish shifting I think not, The transmission probably has low line pressure causing the bands and clutch packs not to fully engage/slip and the front pump is the first place to look.
  16. No, not that it would matter. It's an English made car, made in England by people who drink warm beer. Back then you need two of them. One to drive while the other one was being fixes.
  17. I've used a floor jack with a piece of wood (a strip plywood works good) between the door and jack plate and have a helper hold it steady.
  18. While the evaporator is disconnected from he system block off the A/C lines to reduce moisture infiltration. Replace the expansion valve and accumulator with that evaporator, add a few ounces of PAG oil then evacuate and recharge the system. I know more stuff to get and do but the A/C system will love you for it.
  19. The only V12s I ever worked on were in the Jaguar XKE with 4 Zenith-Stromberg side draft carbs. This was at a dealer in 74-76. I'd rather hit my thumb with a hammer than work on one again.
  20. That's what metal coat hangers are for. Now you need to go get Midasized!
  21. Go to You Tube and type in "cleaning alloy wheels". A lot of videos come up.
  22. This is the 40 amp fuse in the PDC for the 12 volt power feed.
