It's Getting Worse Out there......
I've been using a dash cam for over 10 years. I'm on my third one. It's cheap insurance.

Cleaning and reusing injector lines
You can try Google "2002 dodge ram 2500 diesel fuel lines". Here are a few places that have them; didn't see them at DAP. https://www.scheiddiesel.com/engines/dodge-cummins/dodge-5-9l-cummins-98-02-24-valve/fuel-lines/ https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts-list/2002-dodge-ram_2500-quad_club_cab/fuel/fuel_lines.htmlhttps://puredieselpower.com/dodge-products/2nd-gen-24v-98.5-02/injectors-and-fuel-system-3/fuel-related-parts-2 https://www.ebay.com/p/1127609779

The fuel pickup sits just off the bottom of the tank, so if full or at 1/8 the pump is always sucking off the bottom.

Parking brake cable help
2001.5 and older have drum brakes; 2001.5 and newer have disk brake pads with separate parking shoes. If you go to Rockauto you'll see both rear drum and rear disk brake parts listed for the 2001 Ram trucks.

Parking brake cable help
With a production date of 2/00 it most likely is a 2000 model year but for confirmation check the VIN with the Dodge parts department. 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 left parking brake cable part number 52009697AA. Google search "2000 dodge ram 2500 parking brake cable 52009697AA" turned up a few places that have it. I also found it at Rockauto, Raybestos' number BC95818. If the truck is a 2001 then the part number will be 52013007AA.

Welcome to the forum. Seeing that you put a fuel gauge in may have introduced an air leak into the system and caused fuel starvation. You can check if there is fuel at the VP44 injection pump inlet fitting when the starter motor is engaged; if so then "crack open" the fuel lines at injectors 3,4, and 5 and see if fuel comes out of them when cranking.

Brake accumulator
It's for engine off brakes. You get one shot wit power braking if the engine dies going down the road.

Another loaded 2nd gen
I redid mine keeping the factory radio and wiring, replacing the front speakers with 6X9s and 5.25" rear speakers, cut the wires to the A-post tweeters and added a Infinity Primus 6004a Compact 4-Channel car Amplifier — 60 watts RMS x 4. I did have to add connectors and wires for the amp. @Red Ramblerdid something similar but i think he change his radio head. Picture of the booster under the drivers seat

It's Getting Worse Out there......
A 2.0 liter four stroke gas engine running at 2000 RPM intakes 2000 liters of air per minute. For a one tenth of one percent (00.1%) per minute of H₂ addition to the air charge 2 liter of hydrogen would have to be produced every minute. (RPM/2 · displacement) · .001 = H₂ needed for 00.1% enrichment

It take electricity to separate the H₂ from H₂O. Depending on the technique used to extract the hydrogen the electrical consumption per kilogram of product is between 39.4kW-h and 65kW-h ¹ . This power has to come from the electrical grid. ¹.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

It's Getting Worse Out there......
Last month an old customer called me asking if I had any cars for sale. Evidently he is leasing a hydrogen powered car and wants to turn it in at the end of the lease period. He lives in Santa Barbara, CA and says there is only one place he can get his hydrogen fuel cell refilled. He went on to state that most times when he goes there either the cars are lined up down the street to fill up or there is no H₂ left. He further lamented that the car sales man lied to him about the availability of hydrogen stations, big surprise there, and he wished he had never leased that car.

W-T Ground mod, kinda confused? Quick Help.
That's what I would have used if I hadn't had a 5mm bolt lying around. The only difference is the diameter of your ring terminal. A ground to the case by bolt or stud is still a ground.

I've driven with @JAG1and lived to talk about it. Sheeple, go along to get a long. Most are to busy with work and family to know more than the 30 seconds of skewed info from the alphabet soup news media. Critical thinking is not taught but the progressive doctrinarian is. I bet they can tell you the standing of their favorite sports team along with who the star players are but could not tell you who their state representative, senators, or 4 of the 9 supreme court justices are. On another note, just a short time ago McDonalds workers were crying out that the minimum wage was to low and the mantra became $15 an hour. After months of news stories of how a person couldn't feed their family on a work force entry level job wages, states raised there minimum wage level. This new round of the highest rate of inflation in 30 years is now wiping out those gains. Will the new minimum wage target be $20?

This is true. The Government will always need a supply of petroleum jelly, IE: Vaseline, to help ease the pain when they're sticking it to you. This is your Government caring for you.

Rear door mechanism adjustment
Can you get one from a pick your part type yard? That's where I got three of them last year. The cable, part #55275106, is the same whether 1500, 2500, or 3500; left or right. I have a commercial account with O'Reilly auto parts and try to deal with one older associate at the commercial desk. The prices are not cheap and still get the wrong parts. At lest he doesn't ask me if I would like fries with that.

No, only watch him at his regular time on Fox News. It would have shown him coming up from behind on the side and that you stayed in your lane. EXTRA EXTRA The airports and border crossings are now open to international travelers and can come into the country so long as they show proof of covid-19 vaccination. I guess all those people streaming across our southern boarder aren't considered international travelers.

Two words DASH CAM. Get a dash cam that records both front and back so when the next model driver exhibits their fancy driving moves near you there will be a video record of it. You've seen the one in my truck. You got your big "hand out". The government gave you your big hand out in the form of "CORONAVIRUS STIMULUS CHECKS". You should have received 3 checks for a grand total of $3,200. I hope you didn't spend it all in on place like I did. These things are no longer taught in the schools. History is not written in stone but rather "history is written by the victors" ¹. Todays students are not taught the hardships and sacrifices the founding fathers, immigrants, citizens, soldiers made so they can enjoy their freedom from tyranny. But yet, tyranny has been slowly dismantling this society over the last 100 years till "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction"². Our freedoms have been slowly given up for "safety". A prime example is The TSA and airport security. This is Kabuki theater at its finest with more showmen ship than content. Is that 78 year old lady from Denmark really a terrorist or just wants to see her grandson? These mandates are being used to see who will go along with the government and who will resist. Some people will go along because they believe the propaganda, others because it is easier to go along than to resist and the last group will do it to keep what they have or get something they want. Those that resist, as we have seen, will be ostracized from society by needing a vaccine passport and marked unclean like the lepers in the Bible. When someone asks me " have you been vaccinated" my reply is a firm yes. They didn't ask me which vaccination though; small pox and polio ¹Winston Churchill ²Ronald Reagan

Post Mod Trans Issue
I had Dynamic build a "Stage 2" transmission with a Goeren triple disc torque convertor and an upgraded flex plate. The input shaft was not changed out. Before that I had a local guy build my trans with a single disc convertor that didn't last 40k.
