The 1998-1998.5 switch is a one year only special. I posted a reply on the other forum, but I did a quick check on eBay and there is a listing for the combo airbag/fog light switch, the seller mistakenly states it is correct for 1998-2002 but it is a 1998 only switch (search- "1998 dodge ram...

There may be empty/unused plug(s) for Fog Lights (assuming you don't have them) some of the harnesses had FL provisions in later years ('01-'02)

1. Track Bar 2. Everything else (Tie Rods, Drag Link, Steering Stabilizer, Shocks, Control Arm Bushings) 3. Steering Box I doubt it would be cured by just replacing steering gear. Track Bars are very good place to start.

That sounds right, I think. There is a silver/blue waterfall truck I see around town here. It is silver up top and blue on the lower. I know Dodge changed the paint options over the years so maybe you could have ordered it reverse in some years. I suspect the lowers were always painted after...

Whatever color your door jams and under hood color is the "base" color, the secondary color was applied after, the dually fenders were painted only one color (secondary color) not that it matters for what your asking. The paint line was then covered by a three color stripe tape about 1" wide (I...

e bay is likely your friend here. I replaced my rear tailgate 3 light bar a few years ago and the parts were still available from Dodge at the time (maybe not anymore) but the three light bar is same as any over 80" wide boat trailer three light bar so you could get one for a trailer and then...

Yes there are differences in the door harnesses between years, 1998.5 did not come with auto down driver window for example, the infinity radio vs non. Look up part number off your harness and see what comes up. 1998.5 likely fit only 1998.5, 1999-early2000 should be same and 2001 (late...

55274888AD (Right Side) and 55274889AD (Left Side). They are decals, dealer has them or ebay.

Chrysler used that radio in many vehicles from 1997-2002, Durango's are always a good bet to find a nice one. as stated most Chrysler vehicles of the same vintage use the same electrical plugs on their radios but faceplates can differ (rounded corners vs square). Radios are held in place with...

Good job on only breaking one! I treat the old cover as sacrificial and just cut them. The eBay covers are not bad at all. One trick I use when replacing these, once you get the cover off you will see one of the lame defects Dodge build into the design, the egg crate pattern the plastic is made...

The driver side hinge stays with the upper portion, there are three 13mm bolts on the lower portion that can be accessed by unclipping the lower cushion fabric (plastic clips under the seat). If all you need to do is swap the lid the easier was is to cut the bad vinyl off the top to expose the...

RE- 215hp vs. 235hp differences. If you have had your Truck (98.5-2001 model years) into a Dodge Dealer and they have done any Software updates on the ECM then they upped your HP setting to 235hp. Dodge has been doing this since mid 2000's the updates no longer have the 215hp settings. It is...

There are a few youtube videos for Jeep Cherokee's out the the Rams are basically the same thing, can of spray glue and some headliner fabric (Joann's or Hobby Lobby ask for "Foam Backed Headliner material") do a search for "Jeep Cherokee Visor repair" and you will have a few. I have done a few...

Up to and including model year 2018. In 2003 Dodge changed to 14mm Lug Studs but are close enough to 9/16" to work fine (wheel lug holes are a tiny bit different), so you will need to reuse you lug nuts or get a new set in 9/16". Need to watch offset/backspace on some styles in the later years...

Here are a couple pictures of the dipstick, the 38" measures the black plastic tube, but the is also a metal insert there the dipstick goes. Here are a couple pictures the last one shows how far the metal dipstick extends from the end into the oil pan.
