    Wait to Start Light Delay

    I have a 1998.5 3500 w/ 166,000 miles. I plan on keeping this Truck and work hard to keep it in top shape. Very recently I needed to crank the engine before it would start. Once started, it ran just fine. It was almost like it was losing its prime. I then noticed that the WTS light light...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Vacuum Supply A/C Heater Controls

    I have a weird issue. Last week all of the AC started coming out of the defroster vents. I was on a trip pulling my 5th wheel so I was limited in what I could do. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes it would not work on start up and then start working. When I parked the...

    Jalousie Window seals

    I have a 2000 Holiday Rambler Alumascape 5th Wheel. It has some jalousie windows. All of the window glazing and seals are white and have discolored or shrunk to the point that I need to replace some of them I've decided to do all of the windows using black glazing. I'm having some difficulty...

    Black Soot from Water Heater

    I have a 2000 Holiday Rambler 5th Wheel Alumascape. It has a LP/Electric Atwood water heater that I only run on LP. At the end of my trip this week I noticed a black soot stain from the water heater that was not there before the trip. I know because I washed the trailer. I last used the water...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Headlight issue

    While I was driving on a dark country road, my headlights went out. I managed to pull over and after the switch cooled off, I went on only to have the lights go out again about 30 minutes later. I could smell something overheating. I replaced the switch and noted that the plug was melted on one...

    CV Half Shaft removal

    I have a 2006 1500 Ram 4 x 4 that I need to replace the front hubs. To remove the half shafts the service manuals direct you to drop the steering knuckle by removing the bottom bolt from the strut assembly and separate it from the upper ball joint. However, I was watching a youtube video done by...

    Roof Replacement Cost

    I have a 2000 32' HR Alumascape that developed a roof leak around the bathroom skylight. I've had quite a few problems with this over the years and keeping it sealed up. It started leaking again, and when I went to repair it yet again, I noticed some bad wood under the roof and around the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Torque Converter Lock Unlock

    I know this is an old and much discussed issue, and I have been down this road before. Several years ago I had this issue when I was going about 35 mph and at 1500-1700 rpms. I have removed the wire from the alternator harness and for other reasons about a year ago the alternator was replaced...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Replacing Infinity Speakers/Amps

    In 2012 I replaced the OEM Infinity radio and replaced it with an Alpine head unit. I did not replace anything else. I now want to upgrade the speakers. There is nothing really wrong with the system. I'm just looking to upgrade the sound quality. The front speakers each have an amp attached...

    Replacing Radio and Satellite Receiver

    I have a 2006 Quad Cab with factory radio and satellite. I'm replacing it with a Kenwood or Pioneer satellite ready radio. I was told that I would need a new satellite receiver and antenna and that the old ones will not work. On this model the antenna is on the back of the roof and connects to...

    AAA RV Roadside Service

    I wanted to alert you guys to a potential issue with this coverage. As a disclaimer I have had AAA for 8 years and have been very satisfied with it. My wife, daughters, and I have used it for batteries, flat tires, 5th wheel blowouts and towing. However, I recently learned of an issue with...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Bad Fuel and Fuel Filters

    I had an experience that I'd thought I'd share. Several months and 3500 miles ago I installed a DDRP lift pump and an ISSPO Fuel Pressure Gauge. FASS intructs you to install a micro filter between the tank and lift pump. After installation, I was getting 17-18 lbs at idle and 12-13 lbs at...

    A/C Recirculation Door Issue

    Several months ago I replaced the heater and evaporator cores and all of the doors in the HVAC box in my 2006 Ram. I used Heat Treator doors throughout. Everything checked out and worked ok. I recently started noticing a squeaking whistling noise when I switch to recirculation while the...

    Blend Door Replacement

    I have a 2006 Ram with an auto transmission that I need to replace the mode 2 door (defrost/floor) in the HVAC system. I'm going to replace all doors, heater core and evaporator core while I'm in there. I've looked at the pictures in the HVAC with Pictures thread. Can I just loosen the left side...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Code 234 Issue

    I just bought a new scanner. After doing a lot of work to the fuel system that included a DDRP Lift Pump, replacing the fuel filter, fixing the leaking fuel heater, and installing a Issopro fuel pressure guage, the truck runs better than it ever did. But, I just couldn't leave it alone. I hooked...

    Scanning Tool Choice

    A search of this subject resulted in quite a few threads that may be outdated. I'm looking to add a scanner to my tool box. Obviously, I can just go buy one at AZ etc, but I don't know how to evaluate any of them. It seems that they all give you codes and therefore useful information. I'm...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Intermittent Headlight Issue

    Intermittently, I my headlights do not work. I can hold the multi-function switch and the highs work. But when I release it, the lights go out. All other lights, except the headlights, work. For no apparent reason that I can determine the lights begin to work as normal. Now, when I say...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Fass DDRP Lift Pump Installation

    I thought that I would save someone some time and aggravation if they are going to install this pump. The directions are not worthless, but there is a better and easier way to install this pump with just a few modifications. I have 1998.5 3500 Dually. It's 100% stock with the original lift pump...

    Stolen Power Cords

    I recently had my 5th wheel into the dealer for some work. I then went on a trip and when I hooked up at the campground, I opend the electrical door to discover that I no longer had a power cord. Copper thieves had apparently cut it off. Fortunately, they left about 5 ft of cord. A local...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Axle Nut Adjustment Socket

    I'm having some issues on finding the right tool. I have 1998. 5 3500 dually with a Dana 80 rear end. The Crysler tool number for this socket is DD-1241-JD. I cannot find a description or complete photos of this tool. Is is a hex or spanner type socket? All of the information that I was able to...
