    Invoice on new vs MSRP?

    I have been looking for Dodge invoice pricing online. Can not find anything w/o having to sign up for a buying service. Reason for researching is I am clearly seeing a looming economic slowdown and reading that Dodge is not moving as many trucks as they would like. I am also starting to see...

    My 1996 value?

    Vinyl Seats? Are they comfortable?

    I am in the ordering process of a 3500 w/HO. (They are now 2023's.) QUESTION: I am rough on interiors and have dog that goes with me everywhere. She sheds a lot. I am thinking about going vinyl (tradesman package) for ease of cleaning. We will be using the truck 99% for towing - long trips...

    Is the 2022 HO Engine HPFP Fixed?

    I can not determine whether or not the 2022 has the CP4. Did they fix this year? I found a used one I like at a dealership. What should I look out for? Also, the truck is at a Chevy dealership. Does anyone know if it is possible to get extended warranty from Dodge? Thanks!!!!

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Engine oil shortages?

    I am having a hard time finding 10w/30 Delo or Rotella engine oil in the Denver Colorado area. Anyone else seeing a shortage? Also, what would be a suitable viscosity replacement? Thanks

    1996 with 124,000 miles LED headlight upgrade

    I installed new lenses from Genos. Tip - remove the main headlight lens out of the frame. It will easily fit behind the front bumper plastic w/o loosening the bumper bolts (which is a pain). I followed the official shop manual for alignment. Make sure to order turn signal lights that have...

    1996 with 124,000 miles Touch screen stereo upgrade

    I was happy with how this turned out. It took 3 months for Car Toys to get the dash kit. Now we have an old truck with updated touch screen, Apple car play, and back up camera. The unit is a Kenwood. The only manufacture that had a thin enough touch screen to fit flush. I did not do the...

    1996 with 124,000 miles, exhaust manifold, pacbrake, injectors

    My next project will be to replace the exhaust manifold. I am thinking of going to a Steed Speed. I know expensive, but a work of art and reviews are very good. Also looking at a pac brake, valve springs, and injectors (With a #8 plate and 4K springs, I would be very satisfied with about...

    1996 with 124,000 miles update - oil pressure and transmission

    Update on my project. Removed the radiator and pressure washed. Installed 4K governor springs (thanks Big papa for suggestions) and removed the #6 plate. Installed a TST #8 and dialed back the AFC a little. No more overheating! But power is down a bit. I noticed an exhaust leak on the...

    1996 with 124K miles update - I need 10 more psi of boost

    Still going through my newly acquired 1996. Installed Isspro gauges. Decided to tap the air horn for the boost sending unit. Discovered a #6 plate in the AFC. Not sure who made it. Any suggestions? The truck clearly behaved like it had a plate in it. Once I had the Isspro gauges installed...

    RTV color for original gear housing KDP repair

    Background: I recently purchased a 1996 12V with 124K miles on it. No historical information from PO. I am trying to decide if the KDP has been fixed before going to the trouble of pulling the gear cover. It currently has bright orange RTV. This makes me think someone else has already done...

    Bad drive train vibration fix

    Posting for posterity and reference. History: Last I week I purchased a 96' 12V with only 124K miles on it. Unusual for a 25 year old truck. It was reasonably priced. No disclosure by the PO. They were dumping it. So, I knew I would be putting some $ to sort everything out. Visual...
