I just went up to a 285-70-17 tire on my 98 12v and my speedo is off by about 5mph (according to the gps). I'm pretty sure the only 2 ways to fix this would be to buy a programmer or go to the dearlership. I was wondering if there is anyone in the middle-Georgia area that had a programmer I...

1. judging by the rest of the status of the truck when I purchased it it was probably the original castrol syntorque. 2. no. didnt grind when I bought it tho.

I've heard good things about that fluid but it really isn't any cheaper for me to have it shipped to me and it is to go to the local dodge dealer and buy the castrol syntorque. any suggestions on where to get the parts I would need for this?

how would I go about getting this kit (or any part for that matter) from cummins directly? I still haven't figured that out... I live in GA if that makes any difference.

x2 keep it comin.

just changed the trans fluid with fresh castrol syntorque from the dodge dealer (~$90 in fluid) when I fixed 5th gear about a month ago.

I have a 98 12v 4x4 with the NV4500 5spd. Recently, as I shift from 2-3, 3rd will grind really bad. If I baby it it will go in without grinding but I almost have to double-clutch to prevent the grind. None of the other gears have any problems as I have already fixed the notorious 5th gear with a...

yes, the studs are pressed thru the rotor into the bearing. when you pull it off the axle they will come off together. a few taps with a hammer on each stud will knock them out.

just changed my right front monday. bought it from o'rielly for around $150. federal mogal (sp) part. hardest part of the swap was pressing the studs back in. loooooots of anti-sieze. (go ahead and buy a big tube).

how long has it been since your a/c has worked? if its been a while then you probably have a freon leak and like "ewcmr2" said the low pressure switch (due to the lack of freon) will keep your a/c clutch from engaging to prevent the compressor from burning up. my a/c is out too. i filled it up...

my front seats are shot. I found a good deal on some good looking 3rd gen seats and was wondering if they will bolt in to my 1998? if not, what would be required to get them in there? anything more than a slight modification and I'll just pass on them. also, i have seen some post about 3rd...

you are NEVER supposed to engage your 4x4 on dry pavement. even if you are going in a straight line down the road it will still put strain on the driveline. no one can drive a perfectly straight line, gear ratios from front to rear are never exactly the same (3. 54/3. 55 etc). so the only down...

I thought I was the only one. the first time i heard it was late at night when leaving work the first "cold" day down here in GA this year. I thought when I flicked the lights on I would have a floor board full of coolant. Thankfully I didn't.

thanks 13MWZ. thats kind of what i was afraid of tho. i dont think the heat will harm the aluminum but i guess i'll just have to be careful not to gouge the wheels while cleaning the glue off. do you think goof-off or something of the like would work without ruining the surface of the aluminum?
