    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    Ok, So I reverse bleed the Brakes rear, then Front again. First I put gas rated (yellow) Teflon tape on the bleeder screws so they would stop leaking by the threads. Then I got/adapted small tubing to go from the pressure bleeder tank to the bleeder screws and fit snugly. Then I pushed about a...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    I'm using a Old Motive Pressure bleeder with the Plastic top plate. It didn't seal well so I cut a metal plate to go on top, then put a strip of wood on the top center (oriented to the side that leaked) and added a welding clamp to add more even pressure on the top. Adding a top clamp or two...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    When I stopped working yesterday midafternoon 2ish? I left the Motive pressure bleeder pressured up, just went out today at a little after 10AM and it's still got 10psi. That would suggest no big leaks I guess... The pressure bleeder is limmeted by how well it seals on the top of the plastic...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    I don't believe I'm losing any brake fluid anywhere, but it's had to say. It's been humid and rainy for weeks so I've been bleeding with fresh brake fluid once or maybe twice and then discardin it. I've already used gallons of the stuff on this project. Yesterday I reverse bleed the rear...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    Yeah bleeders are on top, we even tried leveling the truck so it has a factory style rake to it (a touch nose down). Last night I tried reverse bleeding the front end. Used the power bleeder to push about a liter and 1/2 af fluid up each front line to master to push any air out. Started with...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    I don't start driving because when I brake the pedal goes right to the floor, but I've already replaced the flex lines.... After talking to another mechanic last weekend we decided to check the proportioning valve...... after dissecting I decided to replace it. I tried ordering one and found...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    Sunday: Today I talked to Mechanic friend who said he once had a 96' 1 ton that did this and had to install two master cylinders before it was resolved. So I bought another new MC and installed it on the truck, but this time a friend loaned me a little kit with the thread in plastic plugs and...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    Saturday I Blead the brakes and had no success. I pulled the driver side caliper to try compressing it with a clamp to be sure it was free and didn't have air in it. It was rusty and fought a little so I replaced it (everything else is new right!) blead the brakes and this didn't seem to help. I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    Thanks for you responses guys: Before I had this issue I only had to push my brake pedal about a inch maybe to start substantial braking, three inches would be a lot of brakes and the pedal would stay at that height sitting at a stop. Now, even after the new MC, I have to push the pedal at...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Pedal Sinks to floor- engine on 96

    Hello, I've seen similar questions asked on this and other forums, but frighteningly... no solutions! On my 96' 2500 4wd (RWAL- rear wheel anti-lock) ram I started loosing brakes driving home with no load the other night. I would have weak brakes and at stops the pedal would Slowly sink to the...

    Correct! I'm planning to put a second gen 2001 cab on my 1996 dodge, sorry for the confusion.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission How to Replace Cab in my driveway?

    I was told that the 96' Gen 2 and 01' Gen 2 cabs should be the same? If anyone knows for sure, or knows different please let me know. Thanks for the suggestions so far. Good Ideas. I'll have to see if anything is rent-able around me... and if it's cost prohibitive.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission How to Replace Cab in my driveway?

    Hello, The cab on my 1996 club cab with 34inch tires is rusted badly and a friend offered to sell me a rust free 2001 club cab (4 door) and fenders for a fair price. So How can I remove the old bed and cab, install the new cab, and paint and install the old bed? I do not have access to a...

    Stacks & Rain

    Silly fun with Stacks anyone? Other than making my white truck filthy the water in Stacks doesn't not seem to hurt anything. I actually once put several gallons of water in my stacks, fired up and drove it hard so freinds could see the Black Rain fly from my stacks. Quite a sight. Even...

    Stacks & Rain

    I have a 3" stainless steel flex pipe running from the factory tubing up through the bed to the stacks crosspipe. Water in the stacks will drain through the flex pipe for the most part.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) stacks

    I have 5 inch stacks & they aren't "very very loud", I'd just say "very loud". They sound great but are a bit loud behind your head on. Especially with the windows opened. They are not bad on the open highway depending on the RPM your running. I'm interested in what type of resonators or...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) STacks

    If you connect to your stock exhaust with a flex pipe, it will allow collected rain to drain out for the most part (I have a 3inch stainless steel flex pipe). My exhaust goes from 3inch to dual 5 inch stacks & water doesn't pose a problem. I have slight turn outs at the tops of my stacks...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Voltage Regulator / Alternator question

    The Jeep is a 82' CJ-8 Scrambler. I rewired it from scratch so no PCM per say. It has a stand alone GM fuel injection computer and a basic Mopar Orange ingnition box of Dodge muscle car vintage. So it sounds like I may need to go from the Alternator to a external voltage regulator to the...
