    Fuel Pressure ?

    Relocated lift pump to frame rail in 2003 on my 2001 and added gauge. Now on 2nd lift pump since 01'. 109K miles total. Pressure sits at 12 when driving along, hard acceleration drops it to 9. Time for a new pump before cross country trip ?

    2001 2500 Front End Rebuild ?s

    Only 109 K miles, but sloppy and tired. Can't afford new truck, mechanic says rebuild front end and keep another 20 years. Have installed Lukes links and Koni shocks in 2019. So what should I do ? Thinking ball joints, springs, all bushings (in whole truck), better steering box (?). I...

    Aluminum Cap for 2001 SLT extended cab ?????

    My truck has the HEAVY Leer cap which takes 3 men and a boy to remove. I even bought a special lift for it that is also a PIA. When I lived back East we could buy Aluminum caps that 2 people could easily take on and off. They don't seem to exist out West (WY). ARE website says they make one...

    2001 Auto Trans issues (again)

    A few months ago my spedo was locked at 20 mph and the transmission locked in second. When the gas was stepped on, it seemed to go into neutral and rev way up. Took it to shop, they found some plunger that was stuck and failed O rings. That was fixed, spedo then sat at 0 but it shifted okay...

    2000 2500 4X4 Transmission failure

    My truck is old but only 106,000 Wyoming summertime/fall miles on it. Yesterday coming back (empty) from hunting the transmission acted up. Stopped checked fluid full and bright red (new at 50,000). So set in D it starts out in 1st, shift to second and stay there. If you accelerate with the throttle...

    2 things died at once !

    2001 4x4 2500 long bed SLT, 103K miles. Yesterday when I put it away everything was A-OK. This morning fired it up, the airbag light was on and the cruise control doesn't light up or work. Where should I start ? Thanks.

    Rattling shift linkage fix ?

    My 01' 4x4 has an annoying rattle down under the truck which appears to be in the column shift linkage. If I pull back on the shift handle it goes away. I assume something is worn from banging around on WY dirt roads for 100K miles and 17 years. What needs to be done to fix it ? Thanks !

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2000 2500 4x4 ext cab long bed single axel towing capacity

    Can't seem to find a straight answer. Looking at buying a 24' car hauler that has an all up weight (loaded) of 10,0000 lbs. Three questions: 1. Will my truck haul this load ? 2. Will the frame hitch it came with do the job ? 3. Should I get an equalizing hitch set up like travel trailers...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Bushings for 01' automatic transmission linkage ?

    My 01' 4X4 has <100,000 miles on secondary roads. There is an annoying vibration coming from the tree mounted shift selector. You can still it by putting pressure on the lever. Underneath everything in the linkage is sloppy. Is there a kit with delrin or nylon bushings to tighten up all the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Thunking noise from front after 100 miles on horrible washboard

    Recently drove my 01 Ram 4X4 2500 Cummins w/99,000 miles, 100 miles on a horrible USFS road that limited speed to 15-20 mph and even then shook the crap out of the truck. Had the front end checked @98,500 and mechanic says ball joints are fine. After that trip, even a slightly rough pavement...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Strange change in steering behavior

    Although it's an 01' it only has 91,000 no winter miles on it. 2500 4X4 with all upgrades shown in profile. Over the past 5,000 miles it has started doing two things. 1. To go straight the steering wheel needs to be aimed about 20 degrees to the left. Right lane, left lane, crown or not, dirt...

    Strange engine clicking noise no one can fix

    2001 4x4 auto trans engine is bone stock except for new injectors. Truck has 98000 original miles The noise reminds me of a loose tappet on an old solid lifter V8. It only happens when truck is moving and engine under light load or coasting in gear. Valves have been adjusted twice by...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Strange alternator indication

    Driving along, cruise set a 65 and all of a sudden I hear "ding, ding, ding". Since I have a fuel pressure gauge on the column I had to look over it to see a readout i have never seen in almost 90K miles. "Check gauges" HUH? Start with OP, no issue, fuel no issue, coolant no issue, voltmeter...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Speedometer adjuster module ?

    Many years ago I upgraded my 2001 2500 4x4 with Rixon wheles and big tires. To correct the spedo etc I bought a little black box (not from superlift) to reset things (using a GPS). The other day the truck went nuts electronically (shuda kept my 12 valve!) and I'm trying to figure out where I...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Engine noise..not valves...what?

    Well as suggested, i got the valves adjusted (2001 74K miles) but the noise persists. Sound like a loose lifter, worst on cold start, goes away under load and decell. Just motoring along on level "tap,tap,tap,tap" Mechanic says it might be injector pump drive as that is "a gear to gear system"...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Valve Lifters or Exhaust Manifold Leak?

    I know real trucks rattle BUT. My 2001 with 73 K on the clock has a noise, that were it a solid lifter 327 Chevy, I would say was one solid lifter needing adjustment. But my 01 doesn't have solid lifters and, according to the factory manuals I bought, the tolerances for lifter adjustment is...
