    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Death Wobble....need new shorts now!

    Experienced death wobble for my first time today. I was going down hill, on a back road near my parents house, maybe doing around 45 around a gentle left hand bend, and hit a bump mid turn. All heck broke loose after that. The truck shook so bad I could hardly hold onto the wheel, and the truck...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 4" vs 5" exhaust

    Up until recently, I was planning on adding a set of stacks someday, but now I'm leaning more towards a full length exhaust system due to decreasing bed space. I've heard that most times, 4" will actually perform slightly better than 5". My main concern is the sound. I'll be running it straight...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Any luck repairing a 53 block?

    My gf's dad called me today and wanted to know all about repairing the 53 blocks:) I guess he found a 99 dually with only 120k miles on it for dirt cheap because it has infamous 53 block and its cracked. He told me the guy that builds the engines for his race car knows a guy that has welded...

    My buddy just called me tonight and he has a bit of a problem. Hes replacing the lift pump on a 01 for a guy, and he already bought the one that mounts on the block. When he called me, he said that it has an aluminum block mounted in the spot on the block and wanted to know what that was. I said...

    A buddy of mine at work got the go ahead from his wife :) to buy a new dodge and he wants a cummins (it'll be his first). She said it has to be an automatic though. He asked me how the new automatics were holding up in the pickups and I didn't know what to tell him as I hang around in the 2nd...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Edge EZ and RV275's with a stock clutch

    I already have the RV275's installed and a edge ez on the way. I was just curious, is the 2 combined gonna be to much for my stock clutch? I'll be upgrading it this spring or summer, but I'm hoping it'll last till then.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 275's are in, are my results what they should be?

    got my RV275's installed today. Really wasn't very hard at all. I managed to sneak the rear set of lines out past the loop on the back of the head, didn't have to take that off. I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed. I don't feel near the boost in power that I thought I would. I'm not sure if...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Ok, this might be a dumb question

    I'm planning on buying a oil sample kit from work to have my oil tested when I change oil next time and was wondering, whats the best way to take a sample? I'm guessing you wanna have it good and hot. do I just drain my oil and catch the last little bit coming out of the pan, or must I fill the...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Lukes linking a tie rod end

    has anyone ever done this? I already have a kit, and I emailed the guy about it, he says it'll work. I'm not so sure though. The lukes link body seems awfully big for that little tie rod end, and it looks like the link would get into my dust shield and the rotor. Any ideas?

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Thuren Fab. crossover steering kit

    Anybody have this kit on their 2nd gen? I'm just curious as to how much life people get out of the joints and what kinda maintnance is involved with them. I life in southeast PA, so I do see road salt, and maintaining the joints was my main concern. I don't do any offroading, I'm just tired of...

    More comfortable seats for a 2nd gen.

    Ever since I had my Jeep Wrangler, i've always wanted to try a set of Mastercraft seats. Has anyone successfully put these in their 2nd gen. ? If so, which model do you have? Are there any other ones anyone would recommend? The stock seats are murder on my back on a long trip.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission need tips on removing headliner

    I'd like to drop my headliner and redo the wiring to my cab lights. Who ever had the truck before me installed an aftermarket set and put it together with scotchlocks. Anyways, does anyone have any tips on removing the headliner? I don't wanna risk damaging it.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 315/75-16's and gearing

    what gear ratio would I need to run tires this size and have the truck perform as it did with the stock 3. 55's? I have the 6 speed with 3. 55's and factory 265's right now. Also, if I were to go with these tires without regearing, how much would it hurt my acceleration since my truck is still...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Aftermarket headlight pics

    Please show me your pics of your aftermarket headlights and a little bit about how well they work or don't work and how well they fit. I myself am looking for some that are the black, euro style. I've been looking at either the single or dual halo projector lights on ebay and am leaning towards...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Homemade stacks

    Has anyone here pieced together and installed their own dual stack kit? I can probably get everything I would need out of our Nelson catalog at work at cost, so I'm thinking it should be cheaper than buying a kit from some where. Also, I'd like to do something a little different and bring my...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) My fuel pressure is dropping

    I have a FASS 150/150 system that I installed this summer, with the factory fuel filter housing eliminated and have about 4,000miles on it now. I also have a Vulcan Drawstraw installed in the factory module, with the one screen cut out and the bottom one left in the pickup of the factory fuel...
