    Truck surges at about 40 MPG

    In my experience, surging like that when light on the throttle is a trans going out. 40-55 is one of the places the Torque converter tries to lockup. If that is failing (as is common with these trucks) it will surge every time the TQ cuts out. Try hitting the OD off button and see if that fixes...

    Crankshaft sensor code

    What is the code? Are there any symptoms? Year? Engine? Some crank sensor codes can be thrown due to a faulty cam sensor, but not always. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Front Transmission seal replacement

    No you're fine. You have the 02 with the 5.9.that's a 3rd Gen body with a 2nd Gen power train. It's been over two years since I pulled my engine and trans. The Torque converter is bolted to the flex plate, and the transmission should slide out of it. If the trans isn't supported enough, it will...

    Stock radio diagram

    Here is the diagram, I pulled the entire audio section from the manual so you can use what you need. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cn5in3br705fvep/AADc0etieP03UFgNzvDuuMJTa?dl=0 That is the link to the full 97 service manual, its a pain to upload here.

    Stock radio diagram

    What part do you need, it comes in several pages. Cnc there are two options, premium sound and base. Premium will have tweeters in the A pillars by the dash. I can get them all for you once I get to my desk, it's a little hard from mobile xD Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    1995 Dodge Ram 1500 fuse

    Those are cartridge fuses of some type. PAL maybe? Those are the only ones I can remember with split legs Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Rear sliding latch

    Same problem here. They break after a couple uses. Might have to break down and buy one at the dealer, gotta be cheaper than 10 $5 ones. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Fails to start in Park, but will start in Neutral - intermittent problem

    As muddy said, it could be a neutral safety switch, or it could be the shift linkage being slightly out. To adjust the shift linkage, block the wheels front and back. Put the truck in park and crawl underneath the truck. Under the drivers feet there is a metal linkage with a spring and bolt...

    Alignment angles

    Dodge dude posted a great link. But if you want full specs that include toe I can get a picture of the alignment machine at work. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    1998 1500 brake system

    You might want to take off the rear drums and just check everything out anyway. It sounds like air in the lines or a bad master cylinder, that's mostly common. I don't remember how the shoes in these trucks adjust, whether it's the parking brake or backing up and coming to a quick halt and...

    New owner, need advice, starting to modify

    You might have better luck looking in the lowered section. I know there were done guides in there a few years back about how to drop the 2wd variant a decent amount. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    97 ram 1500 5.9L magnum

    Do you have any engine codes? Does it do it warm and cold? How many miles and have you ever had service done to the driveshaft? I'd also be curious as to if you bumped the speed sensor when you were replacing the U-joints?

    Got a check engine code

    I looked it up for the 95 and 12 is just a notification that the battery has been disconnected withing the last 50 engine cycles. code 33 is for the A/C compressor clutch circuit, being either shorted or open. 55 is just end of codes message. Not sure why it's not starting, I may have gotten a...

    Runs hot at idle

    +1 If you lose heat in the vents and the engine temp climbs at idle, then there isn't enough cooling at low rpm. I first think water pump. A blocked heater core should explain the loss of heat in the cab but not the engine temp rising, and a clogged radiator or bad fan clutch would explain the...

    Does this look correct?

    TMyers is right, look at the cap for a dummy check. But there should also be a tiny notch in the cam sensor for cyl 1 TDC. The rotor should be as close to perfectly centered above that as possible. That will get you pretty close. But I still suggest taking it to a shop with the scanner to set...
