One thing to remember on the Airtags is to remove the tags speaker. There's a couple of youtube videos that show how to do this without damaging it. This prevents someone from locating it because of beeping. Just a suggestion

I had my '01 stolen in July. Lucky enough to get it back. It was amazing that they only took the rolltop, jack, bag of quarters used for parking meters, toolbox, impact wrench, etc. but left wheels/rims, VanAken fueling chip, performance items. I'm still finding things that need to be replaced...

Terry thanks. The origional one that I bought back in '01 was from a couple in Alaska that made one with hole that rolled up when not in use. It finally got torn from use. I used the pattern for the last one I made that got stolen. The hole size sounds about right. Thanks again.

Thanks, I allowed for some on closed/open lengths. I went to Grainger and they have dampners that are of lengths an strength (lbs.). Bought on that was for 80 lbs. and couldn't open or close it. I need to call them and talk to them to see what their tech suggests. I will also check RockAuto as I...

Two questions: 1. what is the size of the hole that needs to be cut out on winter front. Truck got stolen and they took the one that I had that fit in front of radiator. Have material to make a new one but cannot find any info on size of cutout. 2. they took the tailgate dampner and cannot find...

Just an update. Loose wire on fuel heater???? Fixed and everything cleared. Shop couldn't find any dtc codes stored. Glitch.

Taking truck in next week to shop. I thought this might be the issue, so will see

Didn't scare me as I just checked the tolerances and boost still gets #30 psi under load. Easy to check off something that might be. Since its a companion code it usually gives me another code but scanner doesn't show companion or any other codes.. I'm looking at wiring digrams to see if theres...

Need help. Engine light came on a few days ago. Here's what I've done so far to try and clear. Turned key on/off and it showed a companion code 1693 but no other code. I attached OBD scanned and it shows no code so there was no way to delete. I disconnected both batteries and re attached to try...

Thanks for the info. Got a long 7/16 bolt and used jam nuts. Works perfect.

TTt Thanks for info. I tried the bolt with 5/8 head but didn't go in far enough without the extension. Will work it tomorrow.

Truck was stolen and recovered. Took rolltop and tools and cleaned out under rear seat. One of the things taken was the spare tire removal kit to lower spare. All the kits that I can find don't list 2001 ram 2500. What is part number and where can I buy one. Even Mopar Direct doesn't have one...

Fun thinking about way back then. Guys like him helped a lot of us that knew little. Miss the late night chat room

David, it could have been worse. The axles were good without damage. It ran $2200 including having my power steering rebuilt. That had been leaking for a while and was scheduled to be fixed when we got back from trip. There were worst places that this could have happened, so being close to...

Picked up truck late yesterday. Speedo works. Everything else that required speedometer is working (ats commander, pac break, cruise control). The carrier bearing went south big time. With damage there was no way to tell if it was primary cause or if tone ring came into play. Thinking it was abs...
