    Starter relay or terminals on starter?

    It's annoying when nic-nacs like these occur. Because it always boils down to working on it for days buying this and that when it all came down to a simple corroded ground wire.

    Starter relay or terminals on starter?

    Starter it self seems operational no odd noises and acts like it fully engages the flywheel. It's like a hit and miss type of thing - I believe connections could be corroded from sitting in the yard for almost a year. It only does it every now and then...

    Starter relay or terminals on starter?

    Hello... I need some advise, I have a 00 model Ram 1500 with the 5.2 and within the past 3 months I have been having problems starting the truck. Upon turning the key I would hear a click and sometimes the starter will attempt to engage but will quit. It's like loud click coming from the...

    Rear end

    I have a 2wd Ram 1500 and since it has over 100,000 miles on it and unknown if the fluid has ever been changed I am considering on changing the fluid to be safe.. I think somewhere in the manual it recommends 80W-90, but since this will just be a drive around town or cruising down dirt roads and...

    Heater core?

    I knew this would be a project when fall comes around this year.. Thanks for the DYI.. I do hear slushing water when the heater is on full blast near the heater core area.. I am thinking its faulty and may as well replace it before winter comes around

    Junk cupholder

    Mines broke as well - instead of fixing it I glued it shut and going to mount a CB radio under it.. I bought a console with 2 cup holders and drilled it to the foot-board where the middle seat is. It is actually pretty nice and handy and holds more stuff

    Sloppy Steering Adjustment

    Thanks! I have to give this a try! My steering wheel has a lot of play in it compared to when it was new.. I've tested the idle arm and tie rod ends for play but there are none..It is also out of line and I am not sure if the gearbox is shot from all the dirt roads in its prime and I am hoping...
