1998 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD extended cab w/ bone-stock motor. 200K on original motor and transmission. Been running a RASP system since 2004. Got tired of boost pump (failing) issues and installed a Westach gauge displaying dual fuel pressures for pre-and post filter. So now I could keep track...

Howdy Folks! Just moved to Memphis/Millington area. 150K bone stock 24 valve 1998. 5 RAM 2500 needs valve adjustment. Is there a preferred location in this area. Good experiences with any upgrade shops would be helpful as I am thinking of going the DTT route on the transmission and upgrading...

All, I am plumbing my RASP system today. First time working with Aeroquip aluminum fittings and Pushlock hose. It seems the fittings could loosen up due to vibration. Is there a sealant or thread lock that should be used with these?

All, I finally found the source of the clunking when I turn at low speed (predominantly to the left). The lollypop end of the track bar where it conects to the axle on the passenger side is binding and giving way and transmitting a popping and shifting motion to the frame. It is a new...

All, I have just installed a Luke's Link, DSS, Flaming River Steering Shaft and New PSC Steering Box all at the same time and have about 1500 miles on them all. I had alignment and rebalance of the tires and a steering stabilizer replaced as well. The steering is tight, no play at all but...

Folks, Just installed a new PSC Powersteering steering box and Flaming River steering shaft. Combined with the DSS I already had on it and a new NAPA track bar it steers well... . just a little wander left in it. Question: does the Flaming River shaft tend to transmit more noise through...

TDR Folks, My auto transmission shift knob is coming apart. I have the OD momentary switch in the end of the thing (1998. 5). I can probably mount that switch someplace else but I would really like to replace the failing knob with something unique. Any suggestions or pictures? Thanks...

Just ordered a remote oil filter mount from City Diesel. Ordered on a Wednesday and it arrived on that following Friday (Alabama to Virginia). Great unit, stoutly built and easy to install. Unfortuntely, one of the 1500 psi lines had a leak. It was sort of a weeping around the top of...

Working under the hood today I happened to touch the back of the alternator with a wrench for just an instant... . got a bit of a spark. Now the alternator will not put out any power. Batteries are 12 volts static by themselves... but go down to 10 volts when you start... . and they stay...

I have a Westach combination temp/pressure sensor in the top of the oil pressure housing and it is leaking (weeping) fairly significantly. It is a 1/8 NPT threaded fitting. Possibly it was tightened too much and no amount of thread sealer seems to work so I think I need to remove the darn...

I have a combination pressure/temp sensor in this port on top of the oil filter housing and it "weeps" oil slightly no matter what I do! I have tried thread sealer, teflon tape etc. to no avail. I have been careful to not overtighten it (1/8 NPT pipe thread fitting) and I am at the point...

Hello All, Just re-wired all 6 of my Westach gauges. All work just fine. I notice my voltmeter/ammeter combo gauge is a little different since reinstalling it. I used to read about 14 volts once the grid heaters went to sleep. Now it reads 12 to 12. 5. Seems a little low. The...

I have a combination temp and pressure sensor in the formerly plugged hole atop the oil filter housing. It is a 1/8 NPT steel threaded little gizmo... right next to the turbo lube line outlet. It is made to mate with Westach gauges. It is "weeping" at the threads a little bit and I wonder...

Thanks to all the helpful replies from the TDR I got my brake system redone and have but one "tweak" left to do... . That pesky height sensing proportioner valve on the rear brake system: I have yet to disconnect it, but can it be damaged by moving it too far up or down? I want to avoid...

Do you use these things to set bearing seals? Am I missing something? I am replacing my rear wheel axle seals: do I need to use a "speedi sleeve"? Wondering and Confused in Virginia... ... MacGreenie

I am replacing my rear wheel seals and checking the bearings... . do I need a special socket to get the rear hub axle nut off the Dana 70 axle? Or do I just go to Sears and buy a normal, big, honking deep-well socket for one time use??? Any idea on size? I can always bite the bullet and...

I have a leaking rear wheel seal on the right rear wheel. Oil soaked pads and terrible braking are the result. I am now replacing both rear wheel seals and possibly rear brake cylinders while I am in there. I have been reading about rear wheel disk conversions but would like to see...

I am trying to install a shunt for an ammeter. To indicate net charge properly on the ammeter, I have to install the shunt between the alternator and battery/load. Most cars have a wire going from the alternator direct to the battery postive terminal to provide for recharging. My...

Just bought a trick dual ameter/voltmeter from Westach. I need some input on the best spot to place the shunt for accurate readings and reliability. Any thoughts on where to tap into the alternator wire to do this? I am afraid I do not have the wiring diagram of the truck... but I do...

I just installed a Diesel Turbo Life Saver from Geno's. I use it in conjunction with my High Idle Kit (Practical Solutions Diesel) as a delay to keep motor running at a safe high idle to keep the cab cool in my absence and for turbo cool down. Just thought I would let everyone know the two...
