    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Late model seats in Gen II?

    Anyone swapped out the seats in your Gen II for a set of late model buckets? I recently drove a 2016 Ram on a business trip as rental. the seats were great! I looked under the seats to see if they would bolt into my truck LOL.. It "appears" that the slide bar mounts to the brackets in a similar...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Help finding interior parts!

    Guys, I need some help locating a PN# and/or the actual replacement part for the dash in my 97. I need the sub-frame assembly. Not sure what else to call it, its the large plastic piece that basically everything on and in the dash mounts to. I "think" it is item 4 on the drawing. Mine is shot...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Finally did it!

    Many of us spend years looking at our favorite trucks thinking "I should get it painted".. but we never do! After 15 years of ownership and 421,000 miles..I broke down this month and dropped old faithful off at the body shop. 20 years of dents and dings, faded, chipped and falling off paint...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Head lights go black

    Electrical bug for the month is now the hi-beams. I installed the LMC relay circuit a few months back and have been really happy. Went for a drive tonight, switched to hi-beam and head lights go black. Really don't think it is the relays, as I doubt they would both go out at the same time and I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Great ball joint tool!

    I recently had to replace my left front caliper, hose, rotor, etc. While it was up, I notice the bottom ball joint was loose. Surprised me because I typically get 100,000+ out of these joints and it only has 60,000ish. As it turned out, It wasn't the joint but rather the retaining nut was loose...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Head Lights gone wacko

    Just when I thought I had everything fixed, a new electrical bug-a-boo has emerged. If I make a long highway run at night and pull off to make a pit stop...the head lights will not come back on. This has happened a couple of times. Any other situation they come right on and work fine (aside from...

    Need an NP421 shifter

    Looking for a shifter from an NP241 from a 96-98 auto. Only need the stick, do not need the linkage. I'm adding a custom console and don't want to be experimenting (heating, bending and shortening) on my only shifter! Thanks

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Starter Relay in PCM?

    Still chasing my starter / ign problems. I noticed on the schematic that there is a starter relay that appears to be inside the PCM. If so, is this relay serviceable? Running out of things to check!

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission ABS Disconnect Q:

    Guys, I have been fighting the common "Brake & ABS light on" for a few days now. I believe I have read every post on this site, and there are many good ideas and suggestions. One thing that a lot of guys seem to do is pull the fuse and delete the ABS function. Here's my question: If the...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel Plate Q?

    Guys, I am looking for a fuel plate for my 97' P7100. Confusing to say the least! What do the numbers signify? I would think that the numbers (0-12) would relate to "more fuel" or "less fuel".. BUT I see #6 mud / race plates and #12 mud / race plates for sale? How can numbers that far apart...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission AC Problems??

    The 97 has had a slow Freon leak for years, every 6 months... add a can. But the trick didn't work today. After adding a can, the system is cycling from 25-55psi on the LP side (normal), clutch is engaging and everything sounds and appears normal.. BUT no cold air! The air is blowing, just...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) TC falling out of lock-up?

    My torque converter falls out of lock-up and immediately locks back up, jumps up about 250-300 rpms... then right back down? It's 1-1.5 second event. Has happened 2 or 3 times in the past couple of weeks, any ideas what could cause this? Electrical, vacuum... what locks it up? I am assuming...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Cruise control wows.

    I, like many have experienced the creeping acceleration when the truck was on cruise. It just keeps climbing. BUT it only does this in the winter?? If the temp is above 75 degrees it worked fine. I searched the forum and found this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppcUyQZ14AE So, I took the...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear U-joint Spicer Numbers??

    I have been running through the search mode on the site. Came up with "Spicer 5-160x" for a PN on the (3) rear drive shaft U-joints, can anyone validate that this is the correct Spicer number before I order 3 of them? I can't bring myself to put in the auto parts house joints at $8 each! I have...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Any trimed fenders out there?

    Just changed my wheels to an aftermarket aluminum. Put the 305s on and it's rubbing in the back of the fender well at full tilt. Anyone else have this issue and solved it with a saw zall?? Pics would be handy. Thanks

    Picked up a new track bar today, can't get the tapered end out of frame fitting to remove the old one! I have beat the pee-pee out of that thing with a tie rod fork and a 3 pound mall, notta. Any tricks or hints on getting the tapper end out? Thanks in advance,

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Control Arm Bushings Q?

    I just ordered some new control arm bushings for the 97 4x4. 400,000 is enough for any bushings! The truck has started bouncing on a hard stop, tires jump up and down, swapping sides. . ie drivers up, passengers side down and then reverse. I am assuming this is caused by the bushings, as they...

    06 mileage numbers?

    As mentioned on other post, I'm considering replacing my 97 with something built this century. What type mileage numbers are you guys seeing with the 3:73 geared 2500 4x4 trucks? Assume no load. Texas has raised the speed limits and now has a lot of 75mph highways, which I like :) I cover a...
