    Transmission coolant?

    Lolol WOW really? I'm impressed now. Ok. The line is definitely steel, i took a hacksaw and cut out the rotten piece already. Gonna patch with real sturdy reinforced rubber hose, 3/8ID and just clamp it on. Good enough for a 10 minute drive downhill. Now, where to fill the thing? Please...

    Transmission coolant?

    2001 1500 4x4 laramie, 5.2 V8. She's just a yard truck but we're moving so I need to get her road worthy enough to drive down to the new house. I got her fired up after a long winter slumber the other day and drove her up the hill to the shed to put some air in the tires. When I got back...

    Patching up the cab.

    So I'm preparing to weld some new rockers into my cab. Some good folks her were kind enough to steer me in the direction of supply houses that carry replacement steel for Dodge trucks. The one thing no one seems to carry, though, are inner rockers. Outer rockers are everywhere for sale, but...

    Rust repair

    My first Dodge Ram. Where does one purchase rust repair panels? I need inner and outer rockers and cab corners. I don't even see a replacement inner rocker available anywhere I look. Is there a cheap place to buy these things? I want to get them ordered asap and I'm starting to get mad at it.

    Alternators

    Lol, can't, got it out of some guy's parts truck on the side of the road :doh2: On the upside, I paid $175 for 5 good tires on matching alloys, a good caliper, a new serpentine belt, and the alternator. So all things considered, I still did ok. I just need to find someone to buy the...

    Alternators

    Sourced one at a local junk yard, $50. In other news, I have an alternator for a '96 ready to go if anyone needs one! :gr_grin:

    Alternators

    NOPE. The alternator off the '96 doesn't work on the 2001. Body is different and so are the connectors. My luck.:shakehead:

    Alternators

    Rock and roll, thanks guys! Now where do I buy the cheapest possible replacement rocker panels? I need inners and outers on both sides.

    Alternators

    Why two different amperages? Was that a year-to-year update kind of thing? Or did some trucks require more amps for something? The part# of the alternator that is on my truck, I think, is a 136 amp alternator, and the one I pulled is a 120 amp. If I put the low-amperage alternator in, will...

    Alternators

    So dodge dude, if they're different amperages, would that screw anything up with my truck?

    Alternators

    Hi all, first post, first Dodge Ram. 2001 1500 SLT 4x4 automatic with a short box and a 318. Got the truck real cheap (which is good because I'm real poor). The pulley on the alternator seems to be seized. I yanked an alternator out of a '96 parts truck (318ci) last week, but the numbers...
