I just did a little up grade to my audio system keeping the stock radio head. The front door speakers are kicker CS series 6X9 and the rear door speakers are Kicker CSC5 5.25". Because the system amps were built into the bad OME front door speakers I added an Infinity Primus 6004a four channel amp. The amp is wired to the radio head with a T harness I made with a 9 wire speed cable and Metra 70-1817 and 71-1871 connectors so the factory wiring was not cut.

Our store has them but they are temporally out of stock. @Mopar1972Man will know when there is more to be had.

Good to have you here and wanting to join in the fun. One thing about this forum, you can add your and nobody bites. That's really beautiful country. I've flown into Hartford a few times and played at the Mohegan and Foxwood.

When the brake peddle is depressed pin #C1/9 of the antilock brake controller, pin #24 of the ECM, and pin #C3/24 of the PCM all ground through the brake light switch to grounds G200 at the left cowl, G201 at instrument panel right center support, and G100 left fender. This grounding signal or lack of may have an effect on the lock unlock problem.

You can delete some of the old ones that aren't relevant or you don't need any more. When posting a picture I check the file size and edit it to a smaller size: like a picture file of 1.2Mb down to 300kb.

Get a large size tube of dielectric grease and coat all the connections before plugging them back together. This will help keep the high ohm resistance gremlins at bay. I did my ground connections like this then slid the prepositioned heat shrink cover over it for insulation.

First remove the brake calipers, get a caliper repair/seal kit, take the caliper pistons out, clean the pistons and bores and reseal. While the caliper are off the truck check all the sliding parts for wear rust and binding; clean or replace pins bolts and pin boots *** needed. All these parts are inexpensive and can be obtained through Rock Auto. Are you bedding in your new brake pads? Swap the front tires left to right, fight to left and see if the steering wheel goes to the right.

Is the truck a 4x4 or not; this will help to know this. First, jack up the front of the truck and check for play in the wheel bearings and the ball joints. Lose ball joints or wheel bearings can cause choppy tire wear along with the shacking and noises you are hearing in the front. While you're there check the rest of the suspension: A-arm bushings, tie rods, ect. The leveling kit can cause problems and premature failure of front suspension components. This video will help with what to look for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H805kD6MF58 .As for the noise in the bellhousing, the transmission is going to have to come out and inspection done on the flywheel/clutch assembly. I've seen two cars over the years with a noise like that; one was a cracked flex plate and the other was a bolt that backed out of the flywheel and was just touching the bellhousing in on spot making the ticking noise.

Here is how to fix the PCM grounds https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/pcm-ground-splice-repair-r675/

You're welcome to join JAG1, me and the rest of the gang in May. PM me and I can fill you in on the details.

These two video's explain it better than I could wright it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPpHRuddhh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfLyh43iihM Oil soaked wires, NO. Oil soaked starter, may be, but the oil would have to get into the solenoid and insulate the contacts since you are not hearing a click in the solenoid when trying to energies the starter. The solenoid can be taken apart and the contacts cleaned or replaced if needed. NO, The ECM is sealed so there can be no intrusion of foreign material. Your problem is in the starting circuit. Good advice. All that leaking oil is not doing the rubber components any good and will cause them to detreat rapidly.

Sounds like you have a bad battery clamp/cable at the driver's side battery. A bad starter motor will not cause a lose of electrical power in the cabin ( lights, power windows, radio, ect.) but a bad battery clamp/cable would. Don't let them just throw parts at it like the starter motor. They are going to have to do diagnostics like voltage drop test an such to pin point the problem then do the repair work. Have them document the values of what they find. Good luck!

What the heck! Who did you P off? Check the tappet cover gasket and the vacuum pump.

That's one of the last good things about living in CA; camp year round. Last weeks camp trip to Haystack Mountain, at an elevation of 3700', the highs were 58°-65° during the day with the night temps between 31°-36°. My next trip will be to the Bridgeport, CA area in May, that's where @JAG1comes down from Oregon and joins us.

The reason Nappa charges so much is they're real proud of their stuff. When I was at Moparman's house this spring and needed a front wheel hub the Nappa in Mc Call, ID wanted $207 and take 2-3 days to get it where as the Orielly"s in Lewiston, ID had one in stock and cost me less than $160. Luck would have it that Mike was going to Lewiston shopping with Wet Vette and could pick it up for me.

Here is a list of BHAF I made a few years ago. Big Honking Air Filter - Air & Exhaust - Mopar1973Man's Dodge Cummins Forum https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/air-exhaust_56/big-honking-air-filter-r566/

Nappa sells reboxed Wix filters. Wix's part #42790 and Nappa part #2790.

I'd be contemplating that while sitting in a CA jail for being noncompliant. Yes, we were antisocial the whole time. The closest camper was about 1/2 mile away on the other side of the mountain. I have two golf cart 6 volt battery's in series, a 1500 watt inverter, and a 2k watt generator all in the front compartment of the 5er. You can see my 5er and the open compartment in the second picture above. The generator gets real quite when I turn my hearing aids off and the closest shade tree is over 3 miles away.

Yes, as long as the guns are CA compliant and we follow state and federal regulations.

Haystack Mountain is a free camping area on BLM land east of Lone Pine, CA in the Owens Valley between the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the west and the White Mountains to the east. We go there for our annual shooting weekend with pistols, *****, and rifles, out to 600YD, during the day followed by tall tales told around the campfire at night. There were nine of use this time. looking to the east and the White Mountains. Our modest camp site. Looking west with sunset over the Sierra Nevada Mountains

No. The vent on top of the fuel sending unit is most likely blocked. Install a relay, which is controlled by the ECM, to turn on and off the fuel pump; this will turn off the pump if in an accident. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/59_fuel/installing-protective-lift-pump-relay-r501/

He doesn't need CA. He can be a congressman from FL where he lives.

I found the below article for a future political scenario. https://republicangazette.com/2021/02/trump-should-run-for-congress-in-2022-replace-pelosi-as-speaker-impeach-biden-for-stealing-election-and-return-to-whitehouse-in-2024/

There is a modification that can be done to fit group 31 batteries. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/group-31-battery-modifications-to-a-2nd-gen-ram-r677/

These are the readings when I measured the current on the blue wire with the following on: engine, headlights, radio, fan motor high speed, and NO grid heaters. I added a 7.5 amp fuse in the blue wire where @Mopar1973Manopted for a 5 amp fuse. Some members that have done this modification reported that the installed 5 amp fuse would blow but the 7.5 would hold. 12.06 vdc 4.53 amp
