2006 3500 Big Horn

Is it always all three? On mine, cruise works, horn works, air bag light is on. My cruise light recently quit but the cruise still works.

Speakers in my 98 are acting up too. Both left side speakers are very faint and poor sound. I've replaced the speaker to test and nothing changed. I guess I need to trace wiring and find the bad connector or wire.

Thanks for taking the time for this reply, Mhannink. :) I guess if I'm bent on using my 96 1500 shorty, I'll have to source out a 4BT and by your advice, a 4BTS. I already own a 98 3500 dually 24V diesel so this 1500 is just a little commuter that'll carry more than the car will.

I'd be interested to know this too. I searched for SamsRams on this forum and didn't find anyone with that handle. Any other help in finding the info? Thanks.

Just thinking, no plans yet. What do you guys think would be the major hurdles to install a 12V CTD from a 1993 250 4x4 into a 1996 Ram 1500 2wd? The CDT has a 4 speed auto behind it and the 1500 has a 5 speed std. I'm sure some will say the front end won't take it but, what would be the...

I installed the Borgeson box and steering shaft on my 1998 3500 in June 2010. The difference is very much worth the upgrade. The steering is not only tighter... not stiffer, just tighter, but the ratio is slightly quicker too so better steering response on the highway and fewer turns lock to...
