I have been shoping around for new replacement fenders and could use some advice on where to buy them. I saw some on ebay, but don't know if they are reliable/good quality peices. Any help would be appreciated. Steve

I don't know when the last time such a post was made or if there is a Zagat for the web... but, this has to be one of the very best forums on the internet, period. I don't think there is enough room on this page for me to thank those who made this possible or to thank the members for their...

Thanks Thanks everyone for your responses. The rear is definitely a stout piece. I looked at everything and all seems okay. I checked the run out and gear pattern. I just get real nervous about parts breakage, especially if it can be avoided. I imagine driving happily down the interstate...

I bought a used dana 80 for a dually, supposedly with 180,000 miles on it. When I brought it home, I discovered I couldn't turn the axles. When I took off the rear cover, the caps were on wrong and the carrier bolts were rubbing against the left cap (the cap bosses were facing toward the...

Jared That info was huge! The caps were not only pointed in the wrong direction, but they were on the wrong sides. I talked to the guy who sold the rear to me and he did say that he took the caps off. Apparently, he wanted to part it out, but didn't know how to take the axles out. He...

Hi I bought a used Dana 80 for a dually but noticed when I got home that the pinion would only turn a half turn. I took off the rear cover and noticed that the bolts on the right side of the limited slip housing were rubbing on the bossess on the right cap. Each of the two caps have 2...

Thanks a bunch. Would you happen to know the width from mounting flange to mounting flange? Thanks again. SB

Hi I need to know the width of a dana 80 for a dually pick-up and the width for the cab and chassis. I did a search and couldn't find it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Steve

Okay, here are the part that I have to do the dually conversion on my 1997 SWD 2500: 1. New front '96 dually rotors and used '99 3500 dually calipers. 2. Nice '01 dually bed. 3. '96 Dana 80 dually rear end I have a few questions: 1. Should there be any surprises with the...

Bad Compressor? My AC stopped working a couple of months ago and I suspected it was the compressor. The clutch will engage for a second then stop, then re-engage, then stop. No cold air. Bad compressor? Or could it be the same wiring issue described here? Would be great to know before I...

You won't believe this I have a '97 and when I pulled off the dash panel to look at why the lighter and auxillary plug didn't work, I found that there were no wires connected to either of them. I had to rifle around a bit inside the dash to find a lead with a plug, and only found the one for...

Thanks Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Steve

Thanks Thank you kindly Gentlemen! Regards, Steve

Thanks. That's what I was looking for. Regards, SB

I got a leak on both sides of the cab of my '97 Ram Extended Cab and can find them (water accumulates on the outside floor near the door). The inner door mouldings and extended cab window mouldings look fine. No rips, tears, etc. But I can't seem to locate how the water is getting in? I even...
