On April 23, my Brother-in-law, Bill Bryant, died in a motorcycle accident. Bill was a member of the TDR for many years. While not a vocal member, he spent quite a bit of time learning from the input you all posted. Bill introduced me and his brother Charles to the TDR and suggested we join...

Went to rescue my cousins Ranger after her brakes caught on fire only to have smoke pour from under hood of our 01 when I got there. The bolts on the fan support pulley came out and it tossed and ate the belt. Dealer says they have to order by part number and do not know the size. Anybody know...

Among other things we're doing on the 01 right now we are installing an Enviroguard breather assembly. The problem of course is the plug. Our is cupside up and seems to be made of metal. It is also pushed in about 1/8". My question is for those who have installed this before. After reading...

What is the bellhousing pattern on 1st gens? I know it was not the same as v-8's on later trucks(somewhere I heard it matched the V-10). I just wondered if my 90 shared the pattern with a gas motor or is it ctd only. If it did match is it possible to rebuild a gas 518 to diesel specs? It...

So I'm starting my search for a winch of some type for my trailer. I've got very little experience with winches, so I'm sort of an open book. I've got a 20ft 14,000lb equipment trailer I use for hauling cars and trucks(and whatever else). The heaviest thing I've had to load so far was 8800lb...

So, I've been trying to keep up and read up. The wife is changing jobs and I finally get to park the 01 long enough to do a few things. Here's what we're up to... 1)new radiator(old one had developed a tank seam leak) 2)new upper and lower hoses(ounce of prevention) 3)kdp kit(only way to...

Anybody out there got a template for the cab clearance lights on a 01. Mopar never sold the kit for the 99-01, but I found a good used set on E-bay. I could try to eyeball it, but would rather not. If somebody has a cab they could make a template off of, I could send them a little green for...

Any tips on installation of Juice w/Attitude for the wife's 01? It looks pretty straightforward after reading directions. How much of a difference does the pumpwire make? The instructions say it is optional, but will cut performance gains. The truck is stock with an auto so I'm not going for an...

So the wife's 01 needs a new radiator. I searched unsuccessfully for an all aluminum aftermarket version that would fit a 2nd gen diesel. Found them for gas trucks, but not diesels:mad:. Went looking for a good deal on a replacement. Locally they ranged from $342 to $465which seemed a bit high...

Does anyone know if the headlight and hood latch placement on the 91-93 core support is the same as the 86-90?:confused:? I know they are in a different place between 81-85 & 86-90. And I know the 91-93 headlights don't match the 81-85. I'm trying to decide which core support and grillework to...

Not that most people here would even care, but in issue 58's Miscellaneous RAMblings there were a few factual errors. Although it was nice to see someone remember the adult toys series trucks, Mr. Bunn did not have all his facts straight. Warlock's were short bed utilines, but were offered in...

This is probably a crazy question, but would simply adding a 2% ratio of vegetable oil to your fuel at fill-up cause any problems:confused:. I know it will help lubricisity. I understand if you preheat the motor it will run on straight vegetable oil, but would it cause problems as just an...

Went looking for CI-4 oil, yesterday. Had almost no luck at any of the auto parts stores. I had been running Delo 400 and switched to LE when everyone ran out. That is until read the oil analysis in TDR. So far the only CI-4's I found were Coastal(Autozone store brand) & Super Tech(WalMart)...

Anybody else having trouble with the new posts link. Mine quit working.

Anybody know if the transfer case adapter for np435/205 (or 727/208) is the same as the one for 727/205. My 90 had the mount broken off in the wreck and I'm trying to figure out what else I'm gonna need to swap my drivetrain into my 85 crew. I could figure it out after I tear down both trucks...

Anybody out there running Hankook Dynapro ATm RF10's? The MT RT03's would be my first choice, but thought these might wear better on a truck that commutes. We've been running the 265/75r16E Spectors AT's(BFG A/T knockoff's) that came on our 01 4x4. They've ride and handle great,but will be just...
