I’ve noticed a slight coolant leak at the heater core supply hose. Initially I thought it was leaking between the barb that is threaded into the block and the hose itself, so I replaced the hose. No help. Tried a different hose clamp, still no help. After closer inspection it appears the leak is...

A few days ago while driving, I noticed that the seat belt indicator was steady on with no chime even though I was wearing my seat belt. Additionally the radio wasn’t working even though it was on/powered (display lit, able to change stations but no sound). Got home and discovered the following...

Have a 2001.5 2500 2wd that I need to replace the front ball joints on. Mine are the type that are riveted in place. I’ve read many reports on this project where the rivets were drilled out or cut/chiseled out with a die grinder and air chisel or some combination thereof. Reports seem to vary...

Doing some much needed repairs to the HVAC on my 2001. Pulled the plenum from the truck and will be replacing both the evap and the leaking heater core. It was definitely a mess in there with 20 years of accumulated junk! Anyway, the foam on some of the blend/control doors is completely...

Have a leaking heater core and poor airflow overall from the HVAC as well as a badly cracking dash. So I plan to take care of everything while I’m in there. I’ve ordered the aftermarket dash as well as a new evap from Genos. They don’t currently carry 2nd gen heater cores, so I’ll try to find...

Over the past few months I’ve started to have problems shifting, but the problem is not consistent. Sometimes no problem at all, other times it can be almost impossible to get it into gear. It happens both when at a standstill shifting into 1st, 2nd or R, but also while moving and up shifting /...

Last winter I began to notice the telltale signs of a heater core leak - smell of antifreeze in the cab and ineffective defrost. I finally got around to replacing it last week and wanted to recount my experience here for the benefit of those who may be about to undertake this job. FYI, I have a...

This is probably just a coincidence, but immediately after loading about 2000 lbs of dirt into the bed, as I drove away I noticed that the brake and ABS lights were on. No problem with braking whatsoever. I got home and unloaded the dirt, but the lights stay on. Checked for codes on the...

I've been experiencing an unusual problem with my truck and wonder if anyone else has seen this or has any ideas. After driving for a while (at least 15-20 miles) with the cruise control engaged, if you then pull off the highway and come to a stop the engine will experience a very erratic idle...

I'm getting ready to replace the coolant on my truck and this will be the first time I've done it myself. It seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but there are a few details I'm wondering about. When I've done this in the past on other vehicles, I remember that the block holds a...

Hi All, I'm currently searching for a 97-02 Ram2500/3500 and am interested to hear what I should be on the lookout for. I would actually prefer a 12V, but frankly there just don't seem to be many available. I finally decided I need to broaden the search and include the 98. 5-02 24V models...
