    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dana 80 dually help

    Something else to remember the rear housing weather it's a 70 or 80 is not necessarily the same width even though there both set up for duals. The housing for a dual wheel cab & chassis is narrower than one for a pickup. I think I would drill out the faulty plug welds push the tube back in...

    2014 3500 DRW Rear Sawy Bar?

    That is a shame with no sway bar on a 3500 Just helped a friend of mine Bag his 2014 5500 and it had a sway bar, which was replaced with a larger one from the Air bag Kit. TGP

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission '02 ABS&Brake lights on dash

    Correct. And you remove 4 screws and unplug three wire connectors to change the ABS module from the ABS valve body under the hood. TGP

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission '02 ABS&Brake lights on dash

    Take to a dealer and have them scan it. Just went through this on wifes 99 Durango. Same symptoms as yours. Ended up being the ABS controll moduel. $650. Part. Cost $100. to scan and diagnos. Bought the new controler on line MoPar $300 give or take. Install it go back to dealer had them...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission LMC truck parts....quality question

    Dave, Those prices are probably correct. MoPar don't stock much body parts anymore for 2nd Gen. trucks, they are very high priced. She is pricing a replacement skin,not the door. Door shells were about the same as the tailgate. LMC sell's the door shell or patch panels. The quality...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission LMC truck parts....quality question

    Hi Dave, I have bought many items from LMC over the years for my Chevrolets and the Dodge's. Quality has for the most part been very good. As you know repro parts are always a "crap" shoot. There body panels are OEM certified. And most of the parts were NOS, but I have noticed more...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Oil Pressure Line Failure

    That would be a good idea. IMO, plastic line is never any good under pressure, weather it be automotive or building. Just a cheap quick install. TGP

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Transmission tempratures while towing

    I would definitely start by cleaning the radiator. From the front it my not look to bad,also from the fan side. But if you take a flashlight and look between the A/C condenser and inter-cooler and more importantly between the inter-cooler and the radiator you will most likely see a mess...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) engine runs too cool, fan cut out?

    You definitely don't want to stick your hand in the fan to stop it. Freightliner uses an air operated clutch more than likely? Your Ram uses a Viscous Clutch. Filled with fluid. It's not designed to totally stop or start. The best thing for you would be Make sure the Thermostat is...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Possible transmission Issues

    Make sure you use ATF+4 not Dextron 4,not the same. Some don't know this. ATF+4 is MoPar specific,with friction modifiers Always check any MoPar in "N" as the pump don't circulate fluid in Park If fluid level is good better change fluid and service,before you burn it up. TGP

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need some lift pump advice-which way to go?

    That's a Great price on that Airtex pump. I'm currently using the Cummins campaign pump with no problems as yet,but bought the airtex pump through CarQuest for a spare/or to replace when time allows. Same pump, List for over $220. my cost $161. still more than Dieselmanor TGP

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Relocating the ECM

    I don't believe relocating the ECM is a viable option. All the engine manf. Cat,Cummins,Detroit,etc. all mount them pretty much in the same location,on all there engines in highway/heavy off road application. To my knowledge the failure rate is not the extreme. They all have had there short...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) anti gel products used?

    That's exactly my point. 911 is only used to restore the jelled fuel. It's printed right on the bottle will not prevent jelling. Power Service Fuel supplement (white bottle) is for anti-jelling and other improvers. It even works better than Power Service Arctic-Express Blue bottle, which...
