    FASS installation question on 2005 Ram diesel

    I have a question for the owners of 2005 and up 5.9 Gen 3 trucks. What did you guys do to install the FASS with the dual filter set up under the bed? I had that set up on my old truck and I liked the convenience and the pump. I see on their site (FASS) drilling the top of the tank and...

    Transmission choices

    Hi everyone. I’ve been trying to find a replacement for my 2002 Dodge diesel, and have been looking at Gen 2 12v. as possible replacement. I know very little about the transmissions, especially the automatics. How are they doing, and what are their shortcomings? Do they last in heavy traffic...

    Any thoughts on a 2016 2500 Hemi 6.4 4x4?

    Hi. I was looking at those new trucks with the 6.4 Hemi and 66 RFE auto transmission and 4x4, short bed. A good friend of mine needs a new truck and asked me what I knew of them. I've only read magazine publications, so nothing personal. Does anyone have any first hand experience with these...

    Is 3.42 the only axle ratio on Ram 3500 SRW?

    I was looking at 2500 and 3500, but mainly the 3500 SRW, not dually. All of them in dealer's inventory list 3.42 axle ratios. I looked at many dealers inventory online- same story.Either transmission- the RFE or Aisin, both list only 3.42. Is this normal? Can you get 3.73 in it? Maybe only on...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Need a picture of a 2002 fuel tank module

    I need to find a fuel tank module. I located a local place that has it-an OEM, in good condition, but they said it came off of a 2000 model. Mine is 2002, and I think it is the same, but they recommended I either bring mine, or have a picture to verify it's the same. No returns. So if I take the...

    Delo 400 XLE - Anyone using it?

    I just saw it at Autozone. It's a Synblend Delo XLE, SAE 10w-30. On the back it said that it made improvement in fuel economy compared to the Delo LE 15w-40. Is this a new oil that replaces the common Delo 15w-40 (CJ-4)? There were none of the Delo 15w-40 on the shelf except the Synthetic...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Reverse lights switch NV5600

    Hi everyone. So I found out my reverse lights do not work. Checked the bulbs- they are ok. I remember when my truck was few months old happened the same thing, and the dealer installed a new reverse lights switch, back in 2003, under warranty. I went to the dealer, and ordered the switch. It...

    Anyone using LE 1605 gear lubricant?

    Hi. I've recently been recommended this product by the folks at Mag-Hytec. It's supposed to be really good gear lube for the Dana 80 axle. So I just replaced the OEM lube that was in there.I had bought before at the dealer before, using my VIN. This new lube is almost purple in color, SAE 110...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Differential fluid change

    Hello everyone! I am going to change the fluid in the differential. I have about 55000 miles, but more than 2 years, I think almost 4. I have the Mag-Hytec cover. The last time I did it I bought the fluid from the dealer. It was expensive, almost $130, just the fluid. I got the modifier from...

    So I got the new headlights. I went the OEM route. Both lights came with the 9004 and 9007 bulbs already in. The quality of these lights seems to be excellent. Now I'm waiting for the harness. I ordered it from Daniel Stern. It will be well made with good relays and heavy duty ceramic...

    Your opinions on older Suburban

    Hello everyone. Merry Christmas! I really like the look of the older Suburbans (Chevy or GMC) 3/4 ton. I see they are between 1983 and 1990. I would like to get one, 4x4 and I understand they are pretty stout and reliable. I think they have the Dana 60 with lock out hubs and kingpins instead of...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission power steering cooler

    Hello everyone. I do not know if other MY 2 Gen diesel Rams have this OEM part on, but my does not. A friend of mine told me the 2001/2002 v10 gas 2500 Ram had it, so I saw it's available from Dodge, for the gas model though. How hard is it to install it on my MY truck? Dodge part number...
