    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Beware of Air Dog/Raptor Lift Pumps

    I have a 99 3500 and approx. 12-months ago the Carter lift pump failed and took out my injector pump. I replaced both, then decided to upgrade to the Air Dog/Raptor lift pump in order to prevent future failures. Wow---was I wrong. In less than 5000 miles, the Air Dog/Raptor failed and took out...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) How many miles on your clutch?

    Mine was replaced at 223,000 miles (mostly towing a 14,500 lb. rv) in my 99 with 6-speed. Actually the clutch was fine but my throwout bearing was out. Since they needed to drop the clutch to replace the throwout bearing, they replaced the clutch. The shop owner commented that if he had not...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Is this my injection pump gone?

    After 274,604 miles (mostly towing), my trusty 99 finally died along I-40 while towing my travel trailer. Everything was running fine (had just pulled a grade), was on flat ground, the check engine light came on, engine died and coasted. I called a road service outfit, made sure they brought a...

    How many Miles on your dodge 24V?

    265000 now. Two replacement starters, one alternator, one $5 part for a/c, one ball joint, new clutch (due to throw-out bearing screaming). I tow a 14500 lb. rv approx 150,000 of the current miles, and ran approx. 25000 miles in 4-wd over 4-wd roads and trails. Do I like my Ram 3500? By the...

    Chrysler & Cummins Restart Light Duty Diesel

    My 99 Ram 3500 with 265,000 miles is thinking about retiring. It will keep going until a 1500 small block diesel becomes available. Meanwhile, I'll keep saving a few $$ each month for when the pump fails.

    has anyone changed to disc brakes on your RV?

    I had my HitchHiker converted to disk brakes---best $$$ ever spent. If you talk to Mor-ryde, they will charge approx. $2500 for a two axle rv. If you review Trailer Life articles from approx. 1. 5 years ago, they converted a rig to disk brakes, and found that it stopped in less than half the...

    2008 with 3.42 Ratio

    I was looking at the edmunds.com site at specs for the 2008 Ram 3500 and noticed the 2eg quick order option package which includes a 3. 42 rear end ration and peak torque at 1400 rpm. Any thoughts?
