    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) fuel leak

    98 12V, leaking fuel, looks to be from the return line that comes from the back of the injection pump, I can see where it split and is spraying fuel out. Can I just replace the hose section of the line?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Hard start issues.

    My 98 12V has always started very quickly, not so anymore. The batteries were approaching 5 years so when one tested weak, they got replaced, no change. Symptom is truck cranks slowly, it is like the batterys are weak, but obviously they are not as they are new. I am thinking replace the starter...

    Amsoil makes a CI-4 oil, 15w-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and marine oil. I run it in the Dodge and my jetboat.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Dyno day

    it already bit me. :) When I tune the AFC will slide the plate full forward, also the exhaust needs opened up too. So, my HP curve was flat to 3000 rpm, but the torque drops sharply at 2300, I am also thinking of doing the 3k GSK.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Dyno day

    So, there is a local, to idaho, club doing a dyno day Saturday am the 17th. I am going to run my 98 12v on the dyno, for the first time. 1998, 12V 5 spd, 354 gears. It is completely stock, with the exception of a number 11 plate in the stock position, and the AFC slid forward. Obviously I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission fuel gauge

    so, I pushed the odometer reset button in and held it, then turned the key to on, or pre-start. The fuel gauge never moved, but I did eventually get "check" in text in the odometer box. What does that mean?

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission fuel gauge

    thank you for the replies. Good to see yet another long standing problem with the Dodge. After all the things I have fixed, it makes me giddy to see just how many more "long standing problems" I will get the pleasure of fixing.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission fuel gauge

    Here is a new one for me. 98 12V my fuel gauge moves around. As an example, when I went to work last night it was showing 3/4 of a tank. when I got off this am it had dropped to 5/8 of a tank, and by the time I got home it was down to 1/2. Now it might stay the same tonight, maybe go...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Seat Belt light

    98 2500, lately the seat belt red idiot light on the operators panel stays on some days, then goes off, sometimes stays on 3 days at a shot. I was curious if this is something anybody had seen before and was cause for concern, and yes it stays on with my belt buckled, I even buckled the...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Which exhaust brake works best?

    I have the Jacobs EBrake on my 98 12V 5 spd, a friend has the Pacbrake on a 98 12v 5 spd, after being in both trucks towing my jetboat, I really couldn't tell much difference, they both work really good.

    Emission Testing in Idaho.

    In Ada Co, the cat has to physically be in place. They plug a chingadera into the OBD port under the dash, and do a snap test, one clean out, three 2500 rpm snaps to measure opacity, thats it. At least for my 98 12V

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) another fuel filter question

    1998 12V that has the fuel filter relocation kit. I think it's an FS-1253? Anyways, does the primer bulb still work with the different mounting?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) starting issues

    everything was very simple, and with the exception of the little rubber boot over the terminal that has the cable affixed to it, all was good. I was a little concerned about the horror stories I read of the top bolt, but I reached up with one hand and broke it loose. Less than a hour to do it...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel Mileage Skeptic

    thats some really nice mileage figures. With my bone stock 1998 with 3. 54 gears, 265 tires, a recent 4500 mile cross country trip with the cruise set at 70 to 75 depending on the state speed limit, I averaged 18, and was happy.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) starting issues

    I am sure this is a replace the starter, but..... get in the truck, a 98 12V batteries are good, 53k miles. Most times the truck starts instantly. Then you have the time the truck starts and you hear the starter whine away for 2 seconds. Then you hear the click, like a dead battery. It might...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 1998 12V mileage

    I edited my signature. I did notice the harder I pushed it, the more it burnt, and there was a tank with a horrendous headwind... But, my last truck was a 96 7. 3 Ford, and my best guess would have been 14 with it. The Dodge sure was an enjoyable ride, I do love this truck... :-laf

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 1998 12V mileage

    How much do you pay for registration?

    I think I paid about 57 and change to register my 1998 2500 for one year, and thats a non-commercial truck plate.
