    2 Denso alternators, 1 denso starter off my 1998

    They're used backups. I was offered a sum I couldn't refuse, my truck is GONE! All Genuine Denso's. The BIG contacts were added to the starter and it was run a short time. Good used backup. $100 + the freight. Same with the alternators. No noises or anything. Just backups. $75 ea plus the...

    Going price for 12V 5 speed LWB QC

    I was wasting time on line and ran across some 12V Rams that were for sale. Price's were 30K and up. They were dealers (I know, I know......) So, I was considering selling my truck. Original owner, I ordered it. 155K miles. Every option except heavy rear springs. Everything works. Inj pump still...

    Parts availability?

    Parts seem to be drying up for the old 2nd gens. Most (all I've been to) online discount places only go back to 2001. Where can I go for a clutch safety switch and NOT pay full retail? FWIW I put this in the 12 valve section, it however keeps showing I'm in the 98.5-02 section on the header...

    alarm questions

    I dropped my fob last week(batteries flew out of it), and ever since it's been an 1/2 hour ordeal to get into my truck. Is there a reset sequence or something like that that needs to be gone through to make it sync with the truck? I'm considering unhooking it all together, but for I know zilch...

    Computer question

    I'm not sure this belongs here, please feel free to move it if need be. Does anyone work on the computers on these? When I had my 2012 VW TDI there was a small group of individuals who modded the factory computers. All I want done is the bump up the low oil pressure alarm so it dont go on so...

    non wastegated housing swap

    Found a deal on a genuine Holset 16cm2 housing that I couldn't say no to. Has there ever been a pictorial write up on swapping one of these? How difficult is the job? Mine's original, been on there about 150K miles. Is there anything I should look for/words of wisdom? Other than don't torque...

    Freight haulers & snow mobile trails....it never ends well

    I hope this works. The commentary is priceless. I can see 3 Maine-iacs standing around a BBQ grill (in 0 degree weather) in shorts with a beer in hand. Flipping burgers when this pulls around the corner. I laughed too much at this...

    Alignment questions...specific settings

    After 145K miles I'm doing an alignment. All of the front end parts that move have been replaced with OEM, including wheel packs, rotors and ruff country end links on the sway bar. I also added one of those steering sector shaft stabilizer things . (ENORMOUS improvement...words cant describe...)...

    Front end parts questions....

    Ok, I replaced the ball joints. When I pulled the old ones, they were not worn as much as I previously thought. Could have easily went to 175K on them (I installed zerks when I picked it up from the dealer) maybe 200K I'm regretting I went with anything other then OEM on the BJ's....... Anyway...

    adding a grease fitting on front wheel bearings

    I'm pretty sure someone here did this a while back. The price of bearing assemblies is up there, especially if you go for a name brand. As far as getting american made.....aint happening Moe. I still dont trust the Chinese, but I'd feel better if there was a grease zerk on the bearing. Does...

    Rebuild a turbo

    Has anyone ever rebuilt a turbo? I remember doing it one or two times when I was younger. It's not rocket science. I have a "spare" inbound.:D If it's a comparable price, I may just get a factory center cartridge. Holset of course. No offshore stuff. Are there any kits out there that I can...

    Painting a cap............questions

    So, I've had this cap for a long time. It's green, truck is solid black. I'd like to paint it. There is a paint distributor near me, what is the best type of paint to use? It's "no name" brand paint. $60/gallon.:) Last car I painted was using Ditzler catalyzed acrylic enamel (with the...

    General price on an auto trans rebuild

    I'm looking at a 97 with 4x4 and auto trans. I dont believe it's bombed much. It needs a trans rebuild and turbo. Original owner, 300K+ miles. I think I can get it for 2K (Looks pretty ratty....) What's a transmission going to cost me? I dont need a trans capable of 500HP, I'm thinking a stock...

    Cylinder head temp gauge

    Where's a good place to hook a gauge to, and hopefully without pulling a head bolt. What's a good "safe" max reading? Thanks

    source, front disc brake dust shields pt# 5003052AA

    I finally got around to my front end work. Do yourself a favor, have it done. Does anyone know of a source of these parts mentioned above? I can re use mine, but they got pretty bent up, not to mention quite rotted. After all that work, I just dont feel right about putting these back on like...
