    Way back machine…

    Does anyone recognize this truck? It was sold new in Effingham and I bought it from a guy in Le Roy IL. He owned it for 12 years, but didn’t know too much about it. It has a Schied Diesel sticker on the core support, a 4” turbo back exhaust, an aftermarket air box and a fabricated steel lube...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission I'm back!

    It is 95% done, I've put about 7,000 miles on it since I put it together. The last 5% includes A:I'm still chasing an ABS bug, it activates the ABS under 5 MPH, I replaced both front sensors and rebuilt the ABS unit. I'm thinking it might be the front hubs/tone rings as those were the only...

    Thanks for the update, as of late it has been better, but I think I will replace the alternator anyway based on your experience.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission I'm back!

    I have a 2 post lift, and just ran a 2x4 under each running board, lifted it right off the frame with the fenders and hood still installed. I had previoustly removed the front bumper to pull the 5.2 last summer as I had sold it. Here is the body on the lift with the Ramcharger frame up front and...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission I'm back!

    I swapped the hangers from the 2500, along with the springs, sway bar, and Overload leafs. Up front I swapped everything from the 2500 after I installed new bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, idler and pitman arm. Besides drilling the frame for the rear spring hangers, and Overlaoad...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission I'm back!

    I used to frequent these boards 10 years ago when I had a 99 Amethyst Ram 3500 with an auto trans. It served me well, but I didn't need a duallie so I sold it to the shop I work for, they removed the bed and installed a flat bed to carry test weights so I still get to drive it now and then. Back...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Disk brake upgrade to 2nd gen trucks

    I went from a 99 with drum brakes to a 2001 with 4 wheel disc brakes to the 3rd gen upgrade on the 2001, Every step was a huge improvement over the last. Obviously the Parking brake in the hat of the rotor, so I have no answer there. If there is a way for you to get the updated 2001 up front...
