    Pinion bearing/flange interference

    Alright so I finally narrowed down my noise (whining/howling at 15+mph in any conditions) to the rear end. Pulled the cover to find a TON of metal. Start tearing it apart. Pattern is fine. Gears are fine. Races fine. Bearing rollers are fine. I finally found a spot on the outer pinion...

    Crush Sleeve Eliminator Help

    Alright so, I regeared a while ago. Working on my 9.25" rear end. Set it all within spec. I don't think my crush sleeve set right somehow, as my pinion bearing preload was too low, backlash was too high, and my wear pattern seemed to move towards the outside edge of the ring gear (it was dead...

    2500 radiator in 1500

    Second gen core supports are all the same correct? So if so, assuming I'm using custom radiator hoses and e fans, I should have no issue using a Cummins or V10 radiator, correct??

    Dual exhaust worth the money

    It's no secret that dual exhaust, in most cases, will out perform a single exhaust. That being said, dual exhaust definitely costs more. So my question is a pretty general question. And yes it's been discussed plenty. But I wanted to hear from you guys. Do you think dual exhaust is worth the...

    Intermittent parking light problems

    Alright so, recently I've been having some issues with my lights. I have many wiring modifications and splices and after market lights, so that makes this a bit more tricky. My turn signal (switchback LED) on the drivers side has intermittently had some of its LEDs going out briefly/flickering...

    BlackMagnums retrofit

    Alright, as pointed out, some of this information may prove to be useful to others looking to do a similar mod. However I'm making this plain: this is not a how to do a retrofit thread. There are plenty of those all over the internet. But no, this is more based on the specifics of my build, and...

    Gauge Cluster Issue

    I felt this was a bit more in depth to go into the audio and electrics subforum so I put it here Occasionally on my 00, I've noticed my tacho and speedo will not work after first starting up. After driving down the road for a minute, the tacho will come back, followed shortly by my speedo. I...

    Fuel gauge not working (not the sending unit)

    Hey guys, hoping you can help me out here. Trying to figure out why my dads fuel gauge isn't working. 2006 2500 Cummins. Got a Fass pump on it. Just put a brand new sending unit it in. When we got the truck, it was intermittent. After pulling the dash out (AC doors), the gauge no longer works...

    Mega cab rear seats

    Hey boys. Not really new to the forum obviously, lol. But I stay in the 2nd gen section. Well my dad is looking to buy a Megacab. 06 Cummins. Real nice truck. We've noticed though that the rear seat on the drivers side won't recline or lay flat. I've heard this may be a common issue, so I'm...

    Wheel Spacers..

    Okay guys... Don't flame me. And I don't know where else to post this, as it doesn't pertain necessarily to any section. I'm not one of those guys that wants like -5000000 offset on their truck. But you remember that picture of Miley Cyrus with that ass that looked like a chicken? Yeah...

    Front end issues

    Alright guys so I'll start with a background. Truck is lifted on 37s with a Dana 44 front. So yeah there's a lot of stress on it. About two years ago 5k miles I think I replaced everything in the front end except track bar, axle shafts, and diff components. More recently we replaced the axle...

    Cylinder 3 & 6 misfire

    Alright so earlier in the week I upped my tune on my Superchips and it threw me those codes. Now I thought it was fine after I put it back down to an 87 tune until it just gave me these codes again. Background. Every ignition piece is new. Plugs, wires, distributor, button, rotor, cap, coil...

    2002 1500 5.9 auto. After shifting into gear (any gear, park, drive, neutral, etc ) it will rev on its own to about 1500 RPM. Won't stay there and won't do it consistently but happens often. Any ideas ??

    Oil pressure sensor problems (I hope)

    Okay a little background. When I started having problems with my engine, I noticed my oil pressure fluctuating greatly. First thing I did was replace the sensor (to no avail of course). Oil pump & screen were also replaced. After rebuilding the engine, not 1,000 miles later the sensor literally...

    Gauge cluster letting light around

    Alright so another problem I've had that's been bugging me and my dad insists to me is very important is ever since I put the dash back in, my gauge cluster has white light shining around the sides through the plastic. I can't figure out why it's like this. And I don't remember it being like...

    Dome light trouble

    Okay this is a very small issue compared to others but its driving me insane right now. I can not get the damn dome light assembly to stay in place. I took it out and wired me some LEDs in there. I got it out very easily. Now I can't get it back in. Did I break it ??? It's always the drivers...

    Dash cap bolts are my enemy

    Alright well I've basically got my dash back in. Only one ground to put in and its done. Almost.... You see last time I pulled the dash, neither me nor my dad could get the dash cap bolts in. They line up perfectly. They are long enough. It's the correct bolts. But for some reason we could never...

    Wiring harness

    Alright so I'm actually pretty close to being done with putting the dash back in after I had to replace my ac evaporator. I just had a couple questions with wiring harness. Which I hate with a passion. Just needed to know where the white plug goes and what goes into the blue one. These are both...

    Interior do up

    Alright so I've basically got my interior gutted. I wanted some suggestions on how to do it up. What can I do for replacing the seats? Are there any good cheap after market seats? Or should I just pick some used OEM ones up? Also I'm thinking about doing my headliner and visors in camo. Is this...

    Things to replace.

    Alright so I have my dash basically out. A few more connections, my steering wheel, and my dash is out. My heater core is new. I have a new ac evaporator. But I NEVER want to pull this dash out EVER again. I might as well weld it in place. So tell me guys, what are other parts I should replace...

    Doors won't unlock from the inside

    Alright so today I ran a relay into my door locks so that when I lock them, my parking lights will flash. Now I'm not an expert at wiring at all but I don't see where I messed up here. My doors will no longer unlock from either side with the switch, but they will with the key fob.

    Lights flash with lock/unlock?

    Now I don't believe there is a way to do this, but I would love for someone to prove me wrong. My favorite part of my dads 3rd gen, other than his painless steering, is that his parking lights flash anytime you hit the lock or unlock button on the key fob. Now I know how to enable/disable the...

    Fog lights with high beams?

    Hey I don't normally mess with 3rd gens but my dad wants my help. He wants to wire it where he can have his fog lights on with his high beams on. I just figured out on my 2nd gen I can jump two terminals on my fog light relay and it will do this. But is it the same on his ? 2002 Ram 1500 5.9 Magnum.
