    Transfer Case Vibration

    I meant the output shaft on the transfer case. Pull the driveshaft out and take a look.

    Selling Caroline.. to buy another 2nd gen!

    Depends if its a HD or LD. I paid 2400 bucks for my 360/nv4500 with 154k with not as nearly as much rust on your truck. My truck is a light duty.

    What else should I replace when I replace the serpentine belt?

    Just make sure that the alt bearings have no play, idler pulley doesn't have play, no play in the water pump pulley, same for the belt tensioner idler pulley and a/c pulley. If any of them sound dry, you'll need to replace it soon. If the a/c pulley sounds dry, don't need to panic about...

    Another Check Valve Question..

    I did some research on this so called check valve. It seems that Dodge used a plastic check ball, in time will degrade because of the temp of the trans fluid. If you're running the original drainback valve (what its actually called), then its obvious going to give you problems. I don't see the...

    Transfer Case Vibration

    I would check the output shaft and bearing from the transfer case. Check to see if there's significant play on output shaft. Could be bent. Based by your description, sounds like the transfer case took the brunt of the force when the driveshaft let loose.

    Another Check Valve Question..

    How does the check valve get gummed up when tranny fluid is a detergent? I don't see the need for a remote filter, when the tranny should actually be serviced at every 40k.

    Is this a good deal

    Nothing wrong with buying a high mileage truck. Check it out, top to bottom. Looks pretty clean for being a southern truck. For $800, that isn't bad.

    No spark from coil to spark plugs

    Check the ASD relay in the PDC. Is your truck gas or diesel?

    Door Hinge

    If you have the hinge out, put the hinge in the close position. Use vise-grips and a flat head screw driver to work it back in. Use the vise-grips to hold the spring in place.

    Door Hinge

    I'm in the process of rebuilding my door hinge. I bought the Dorman hinge pin kit. One thing Dorman didn't include is the bushing for the detent bar (the bar that keeps the door open). I did some searching and seems like no one produces the bushing. Dorman doesn't make it. Has anybody found the...

    OEM heads

    5.2/5.9 heads are the same. Its just in the block that's different. Even though the heads are prone to cracking and most claim its a bad casting from Chrysler. A lot has to do with the motor not running cool. Faulty temp sensors or lack of coolant flush when necessary. Lack of coolant flushes =...

    some slop in the steering

    I wouldn't adjust the steering box. I don't think thats part of the culprit. However, I would go over the front end. Keep the truck on the ground, have someone move the steering wheel. Someone under the truck looking for any movement in the linkage or any noises. Also important to keep the front...

    some slop in the steering

    I have the same one you have. I have no front suspension issues after the installation. Very important to keep that bearing greased often. I'm located in Lehigh County. About 2 hours south of Scranton.

    Cap and Rotor

    Ive been using caps that have silver coated points. Cap and rotors from AZ or AAP usually carry a limited lifetime warranty.

    Spark plug recommended

    Ive had good performance with Autolite 3924. Its a copper core spark plug. They keep their gaps when you set them. NGK V-Power spark plugs are good as well, little more expensive. Stay away from Champions and anything platinum or iridium. Autolite makes good replacement wires. They're very...

    some slop in the steering

    The steering slop, i've seen it a number of 2nd gen's, is the sector shaft on the steering box. I had a friend move the wheel back and forth, the sector shaft moved side to side. You can get a new replacement gearbox and you'll have the same problem. I've had the stabilizer for over a year and...

    Lighting Help/ Opinons (REALLY need help)

    Sure would be nice but modifying the head light harness is going to be a bit of a challenge.

    Lighting Help/ Opinons (REALLY need help)

    I'm not using halos. I hate them. I also hate the after-market headlights. Poor quality and no adjustment. For the price I paid, I shouldn't have to come up with a way to adjust them. I'm eventually going back to stock.

    Where did you mount your 12v switches?
