    Hooking up a backup/reverse camera to the wiring under the hood How To

    I searched for hours and got very frustrated so thought that I would share the solution to hooking up a reverse/backup camera to the wiring harness on my 05 Dodge Ram 1500. I didn't want to run a wire from the tail light as I don't like to put much under the truck due to the harsh environment...

    Installed a double DIN in my 2005 Daytona

    This is what it looks like under the double DIN when installed. You will see that you don't have to go all the way to the sides either which I didn't know. Very happy with it overall though.

    Installed a double DIN in my 2005 Daytona

    I finally did it. Metra has a kit for putting a double DIN head unit into a 3rd gen Ram and it went really well. I picked up a used Clarion NX702 and ordered the kit from a guy on Ebay (cyber.gordon). Got here today and did the install this evening. I was a little nervous about cutting the radio...

    New here, soon to be first time truck owner

    Can't really comment on the truck but welcome to truck ownership. I have had trucks since I was 17 and am now 52. I had a car on occasion but when I did, I wished I had a truck. Trucks are the only way to go.

For bearing clearance I prefer plastigage, There is no chance that you will make a mistake with a mic when you use plastigage. As simple as a micrometer is, it is also easy to make mistakes with them. Always...

    Been a Dodge guy forever

    I just joined the group and glad to be here. I have been a Dodge guy for a really long time. My first vehicle was a Fiat 124 Spider but then I got smart. My next was a 1978 Dodge Li'l Red Express that I bought new when I was 17. I had it on the road for a couple of years and then stripped it...

    wiper issues....need help

    It is about as easy as it gets. Remove the wipers by pulling the retaining clamps out and lifting the arms off. Next, there are two screws on either side of the front wiper motor cover as well as some Christmas tree clips on the edge near the rear hood edge. It comes off really easy. Unplug the...

    wiper issues....need help

    I have an '05 with the same issues. Wipers have a mind of their own and even stopped working altogether. I had the motor apart in the summer and couldn't see anything wrong with it so I thought that it was likely a controller problem. I managed to fix it yesterday though. I took the motor off...
