    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Throttle Cable Adjustment

    My 95 3500 seems to have lost its MoJo. When I kick down the throttle to downshift, I have an automatic transmission, it doesn't downshift. I used to get 20+ pounds of boost and that too is gone. I suspected the cable from the foot pedal to the injection pump and found that there were a half...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dually Flared Fender Repair

    One of my rear flared fenders on my RAM 3500 is damaged. I bought some fiberglass repair, but when I looked closely I could tell the fender wasn't fiberglass. So, off to TDR to find an answer. Now I've confirmed that the flared rear fender is in fact plastic and not fiberglass. Does anyone...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Cruise surge wont go away

    Got to be careful that you don't push that plunger into the housing too hard. It will ruin the switch. Good luck.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Torque Converter Unlocking

    Hi, I know this was posted some time ago, but I was hoping you might answer a few questions: 1. Where did you jump wires 3 and 4? On the brake switch? 2. Where did you find the brake light switch for $15? 3. Would it do any good, or damage, to spray the switch with contact cleaner? Thanks...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Next Performance Upgrade? - Confusing out here.

    What about the AFC springs? Will they effect the towing performance?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Automatic transmission "Automatic" Shifting

    My transmission will shift down, seemingly just a half gear, whenever I tap the brakes. For New Yorker that drives with two feet, this is very annoying. Any idea why this occurs? Also, given my upgrades, do I need to upgrade the AFC springs or the govenor springs for better acceleration when...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Next Performance Upgrade? - Confusing out here.

    I have a 1995 3500 4wd. The upgrades are an AFE cold air filter, a 4" straight through exhaust, a #5 torque plate and a 16cm turbo housing. My questions: 1. What is the highest SAFE EGT I can maintain while towing? I have been told that after 1250 things start to melt, and that 1350 "all...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 16 CM Housing not pulling well

    I have a similar problem I think might do well in this thread. I have a 1995 RAM 3500, turbo-back 4" exhaust, ATS cold air intake, #5 torque plate, 16cm non-wastegated housing, pre-turbo EGT gauge, transmission temp gauge and boost gauge. Black smoke and the deep sound of the engine lugging...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear Brake Adjustment - REGULARLY!

    Recently, while cruising through town pulling my 6 ton beast, I had to make a couple of very quick stops due to other drivers ignoring my presence. No problem, I rebuilt the brakes and had a good feeling while lurching forward and catching the flying dogs. The right front brake pads started...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Rear Brakes Still Grabbing

    I brought the drums in today and had them turned. Tomorrow morning I leave Colorado for Texas. I'll let you know what I learn. Also, when I removed the drums today the shoes were tight against the drum so I know the adjusters are working (I adjusted them 6 times). Still haven't looked for...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Rear Brakes Still Grabbing

    Great minds think alike... ... I just wish I was one of them. I visited the machine shop today to have a broken bolt extracted and discussed the brake issue with the machinist. He too suggested bringing the drums in and he would turn them for free. So as soon as he extracts the bolt and the...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Rear Brakes Still Grabbing

    I just installed new drums, shoes and wheel cylinders on my 1995 3500 dually and still have some "grabbing". Everything was cleaned, anti-seize on all recommended spots, and adjusted to where the drums just fit over the shoes and drag slightly. I also bled the lines until new clear brake fluid...
