    Steering wheel suddenly off center to right

    My son has been driving my '96 1500 4WD for the past week. Went to drive it today and the steering wheel is off to the right, about 2 o'clock when driving straight ahead. It was perfectly straight before. What should I check? FWIW, it already has a borgeson steering shaft and a heavy moog...

    1996 4wd ABS and brake warning lights on

    My ‘96 has the brake and ABS warning light on. I ran codes and nothing comes up on the scanner. Fuses are all good. What do I check next?

    Transmission cooler hose part number needed

    The transmission cooler line has started leaving on my 1996 Ram 5.9 Auto. It’s the line that connects at the bottom of the radiator with a push on fitting and at the other end with a threaded fitting to the metal line. When I did a Mopar parts search it is listed as a discontinued product...

    98 and up mirrors on a 96?

    My passenger mirror is broken. It's one of the chrome power mirrors. I was wondering if it would be easy to upgrade my mirrors to the ones on the 98 and up trucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Exhaust question. Probably stupid.

    Autozone is running a 15% off sale today, so I thought I might replace my crusty exhaust. The stock muffler inlet and outlet are offset. So, if you install a bullet or glass pack, how do you like the muffler up with the stock intermediate and tail pipes?

    What do you about this exhaust system ?

    I'm still on the original exhaust. It's pretty rusty. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg but would like a bit more growl. This looks like a pretty good deal. How would this compare in price with going to a muffler shop? How hard would it be to replace myself, particularly since it would be...

    Keyless entry install

    Got a Bulldog Secuirty 1702 keyless entry system to install this weekend. Any pointers? Looks fairly straight forward. Two wires to 12v hot always, ground, and wire to the lock wire and wire to the unlock wire. Will I be able to access all the wires I need in the panel to the left of the...

    Touch up paint

    Just got a build sheet from Dodge on my truck. It's red and silver. The red paint was easy to find at the local parts store. The silver they don't carry, but the duplicolor book says it's Lt. Driftwood. My build sheet says it is "QFAA Prairie Pearl Coat." Is that the same as Lt. Driftwood...

    Getting ready for winter

    Taking care of all the stuff I generally check out on a new to me vechicle and getting my new old Ram ready for winter. Got new Cooper Discoverer HT's yesterday and had alignment checked. It was spot on, but they said track bar is shot, so I've got a Moog on the way. The interesting thing is...

    All the unexpecteds from a new old truck

    Spent the morning changing transmission fluid and antifreeze on my new to me 96 Ram. Driving home this afternoon, lost the brakes and smoke started coming out from under hood. One of the steel brake lines coming off one of the ABS junctions was spurting like blood in a B horror film. I've...

    seat belts not retracting

    My seatbelts don't retract all the way. Is there some way to adjust them? They work fine, but by not retracting all the way, I keep slamming my door on the belt. It's that way on both the driver and passenger side.

    Frame and axle rust

    Just bought a 96 4x4 Ram. I can't find a bit of rust in the body, and the floor pans are nice and clean, but the axles and frame have a pretty even coat of surface rust on them. Nothing cancerous, but just curious is this common. Did Dodge not botther to paint the frames and axles? I'm...

    Need help with Infinity system

    Just bought a 96 SLT Club Cab 4x4. It's going to be my winter beater the next few years I hope. Don't care much about having a great stereo in it, but would like to at least listen to some music on the radio or a football game. It has the Infinity tape deck in it. Display lights up and will...
