    2014 Ram 3500 Spyntec Install

    So the press was needed to press the rotor apart from the hub assembly.. I thought my good Ol’ sledgehammer would do the trick, but didn’t even do a thing! As far as the game plan, we had a cooler full of beer, a shop full of tools, and good music to help with everything! It was mid 70’s and...

    2014 Ram 3500 Spyntec Install

    Good morning, just wanted to share my experience with the Geno’s/ Spyntec free spin hub install for a 2014 3500 DRW.. While the kit is great, the instructions from Spyntec are absolute garbage.. They were basically written for a SRW and thrown together in a not so great manner. For anyone...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) RIP to my PDR HX40

    I wound up going with a PhatShaft 64/14. . I was looking at the 12 cm housing, but with a #10, 370's and 191 Delivery Valves I need something a little bigger. . -Chris-

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) RIP to my PDR HX40

    Well, after 10 1/2 years of hard pulling, racing, and other activities, my old school Piers Diesel HX40 decided to go to Turbo Heaven yesterday. . It was a quick, but oily death when the shaft snapped. . Great turbo, and thanks for all the great smoke stories on here! -Chris-

    Archived Second Generation Front Coil Springs

    You need to go by your GVWR and not whether if it has AC or not. . Look on your driver's side door, and see what your GVWR is. . I am guessing it's 8800 lbs. -Chris-

    Archived Rear End Woes.. Help!

    So I was driving home a week ago, and noticed the clutch was acting erratic. . As I grabbed a gear, I started to throttle into it, and then the RPM's shot up, and no power. . So I eased into the throttle, and was able to get a little power to the ground, enough to get into a parking lot... When...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front Door Windows falling off track....

    Has anybody had problems with this? I recently noticed that sometimes, my window will tilt forward, and the motor gets bogged down. . I am not sure how the glass is attached, but would like to know if there is a way to fix it. . -Chris-

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear disk brake upgrade.

    I have followed my brake lines all the way back and there is no elusive height sensing proportioning valve... I have looked and looked, and my drums still suck. -Chris-

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) nv4500hd? 's

    Yes, and most everyone on here uses Southbend Clutches. . I have had several, and finally wound up with a Dual Disk 3600# plate load clutch, and it has way better manners than my single disk FE... I would highly recommend Southbend, not only for their clutches, but also their amazing customer...

    Archived southbend dd3600 install problems

    I'm having trouble with the shop installing my clutch. It was originally in my 2004. 5 with the nv5600, and now it is going in my 1998. 4 12 valve with an nv5600. They are telling me that the transmission does not have room for the throwout bearing once mounted up. . I know I need the starter spacer...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Input Shaft or Clutch Failure?

    So I am leaving the lake this morning, and went to throttle into it in 4th gear, got about 10-20 psi boost, and all of a sudden a big pop, and it loses all power. . all gears, no power... when I came to a stop, it was making crazy noises, pushed in the clutch, put it in first, rolled a few feet...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission CB radio in a 2000 DODGE RAM w/GENO CB BRACKET

    Gooseneck hitch

    Banks is junk anyway. . way overpriced, and not the best quality for what you pay for. For the price of the banks duals, you can get a Magnaflow T409 stainless (shiny from the turbo back) exhaust for less! -Chris-
