    what should I expect to pay?

    Maybe to give you a little idea, my brother in-law just bought a 2004 Black quad cab with Hemi for $11k. It was only 2wd but only has like 55k miles. This may give you an idea of about where to start. This was in Kansas City, MO. Victor

    Weird overheating problem?

    OK, so I got it changed with out an issue and went ahead and changed the fan clutch while I was there just to make sure it wasn't causing any issues. But I am still having an issue of it overheating when I drive on the highway over 65 mph. So in the last week I have changed the water pump, fan...

    New water pump questions

    I just replaced my water pump and fan clutch and was wondering what the best way to refill the antifreeze was to insure I got all the air out? Thanks in advance. Victor

    Headunit Install Done.

    It probably took you less time to install it then it did for me to write the reply to you question about how to do it. We have one of the easier vehicles to do a head unit replacement. Looks good. Victor

    Headunit DIY?

    It's pretty simple. This is going just off memory so it may not be exact. But if I remember correctly there is one screw behind the hook on the lower passenger side of the center part of the dash. Once removed, you can just pull it off. It is the black center part around the radio and the...

    Weird overheating problem?

    Ok, so I am going to replace the water pump and hope that helps my overheating issue. My questions is this. How difficult is it do? I am somewhat mechanical, doing brakes, oil changes, changing an alternator here and there, and I have done a water pump before, just not on a Ram. I have the...

    Lets see your sub boxes

    Here's what I have in my '02 Ram. It has 2 Alpine Type R's in it right now running a little over 600 watts rms each. I'm pretty happy with it. Just took a couple days to through together. It bolts to the bracket where the center seat bolted so it isn't moving anywhere. Victor

    Weird overheating problem?

    I have a 2002 with the 4.7L that I am having overheating issues that I have never experienced before. When driving around town or even on the highway under 65 my thermostat never goes above just under halfway. Driving in town I have yet to see it go above that point. However, when driving...

    Already done at the body shop

    Maybe they were just overshooting you an estimated time so you would be happier when it was fixed early. I'd rather have a long quote time and it be early than the other way around. This took less than 2 weeks to fix. So I think 2 weeks was just a worst case scenario in case something went...

    wiring problem ?

    I posted this awhile ago on someone else's thread when they were having a similar issue and it turned out to be their problem also. It could also easily be the wiring. I would use a voltmeter and test to make sure there is a signal getting there. Then, if there isn't check on the inside of the...

    Left Speakers not working

    It could also easily be the wiring. I would use a voltmeter and test to make sure there is a signal getting there. Then, if there isn't check on the inside of the truck for a signal. I had a similar problem with my back passenger speaker not working. Where the rubber boot that carries the...

    Dealer found my rattle?

    I have not done it yet but need to get it done on my 02 also. And from what I'm reading, I think I'm going to take it to my mechanic. One guy said it took him 6 hours for one side. I stopped reading after that. It's worth the money to me to have someone else be responsible for it. Victor

    Box for 2 subs

    It's hard to compare since it was 1 sub at 600 watts and now it's 2 subs at 1200 watts. Plus it being ported. But it seems like it is more than twice as loud. It feels like it is shaking the truck to death. Victor

    Box for 2 subs

    Yeah, there was a little overkill. I just pre-drilled everything and didn't have any problems. I was a lot more conservative on this one. Victor

    Box for 2 subs

    Well this is what I came up with. It's right at 1.1 cu ft per sub. On the low end of the 1-2 cu ft Alpine recommends, but well within specs. And it is loud. I am running it off of an old reliable Kicker 1200.1 running 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm. It has one sub downward firing and one rearward...

    Robbs custom double DIN install

    You could just use a relay to bypass having to use the switch also. avh-p4100dvd bypass - YouTube Victor

    Box for 2 subs

    I'm already looking to make a second, better now that I have a better idea what I'm doing, center console sub box. This was the first one. http://www.ramforum.com/f52/2002-qc-center-console-sub-box-*lots-pics-12351/ So I am wanting to work in 2 12" Alpine Type R's into this so it will...

    Stereo problem

    I'm only thinking this because of the stereos behavior with the ignition turned, but maybe a bad ignition switch. I really have no idea, but it might be something to consider. Also, welcome to the forums. I haven't been here long, but like it already. Victor

    Need suggestions on sub and amp combo

    To keep it under your price point is going to be the hard part. To get a quality amp with 600 watts rms or higher, the amp alone will be close to your $275 mark you wanted to stay under. Include 2 $90 subs and I see no way you could get a high powered amp and wiring kit for under $100. Even a...

    Need suggestions on sub and amp combo

    Amazon.com has this years model for under $60. If you don't want to buy online, I know last week Best Buy had them for $50 and if that sale wasn't going on they had buy one get one free at $99. Victor
