    Clutch Recomendation.

    Call the vendor, an ceramic clutch will be way to grabby and annoying. I would stick to a single disc organic, a 13" clutch requires a bigger input shaft. The nv4500 is pretty weak and isn't very good for towing. They won't last towing heavy or above 450hp. Less if you're hard on it. Keep...

    Hard starting after sitting for the winter

    I prefer to drop the tank, then you can clean the frame area where dirt collects. Also can you smell fuel when attempting to start it?

    Diagnosis help please!

    That and your truck will give everyone around you headache and or sick. Not cool. I'm not some tree hugger but I've never walked out side and said " I wish the air was less clean"

    Diagnosis help please!

    I strongly advise against deleting the cat. Your truck will not run correctly without it. You will not gain any measurable amount of horsepower by deleting it

    94 to 96 wiring harness swap??

    Absolutely not a 94 is OBD I and the 96 is OBD II the connectors on the fire wall to the engine harness are also different. Stay with the same year truck.

    Front brakes STILL locking up!!! Help!!!

    The problem is very clear here. Your rubber lines of the calipers have collapsed internally. Replace the soft lines, they often fail internally causing the brakes to stick. I would change all 3 That's why your problem is intermittent. A seized caliper will drag all the time. Forgetting to...

    having a electrical issue need input

    The voltage regulator is in the PCM of the truck. Meaning the computer controls the charging voltage. If your lights are flickering while driving, and you know the alternator is good (it could be bad out of the box). The PCM most likely is the culprit You can wire up an external regulator if...

    Tow Hitch Upgrade?

    I run the Curt class V 2400/16000 hitch on my diesel. Fits perfect and was less than $200 shipped . Looks like the price went up. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4362978&cc=1095904&jnid=478&jpid=6 In my gas half ton truck I run the factory tow package hitch that is rated for...

    how hot is too hot?

    Make sure you buy a coolant temp sensor from the dealer or moparpartsoverstock . Parts house sensors are junk. 235 is the max I would like, and that means it's time to pull over. How much were towing? Speed? Outside temp? AC on? All these variables are very important Make sure the...

    Help with a brake controller install

    My 95 has the tow package but it didn't have the preconnected trail brake plug. Tap into the blue wire under the dash, this is the output from the brake controller to the trailer. Black is power, white is ground, red is the brake sense from your brake petal. I believe that is the red/white...

    New 1997 Ram 2500 owner needs advice, please help

    The electronic VPP 44 did not come out until 1998.5. 1989-1993 used the VE pump 1994-1998 used the P7100 Both are fully mechanical and do not use any electronics to run. Just an electronic solenoid to lift a lever to the "Run" position. This can be replaced by a choke style cable or zip...

    Missing coolant

    The evaporator box has a drain near the passenger side manifold. It will piss coolant on the ground if the heater core goes. Drop the blow motor and stick your finger in there

    Truck won't heat up

    Make sure you are installing a Mopar T stat and its being installed the correct way. The thermostat is the ONLY thing that can cause this issue

    Will Not Start after Manitanance

    Timing, compression and fuel and the engine should run to a certain degree. The VP44 is electric and should be able to dope for bad timing, if its wayy off then the engine won't run. Air trapped in the lines is really only a thing with old diesels with mechanical lift pumps

    Cat removal and o2 sensor question

    It doesn't take much to feel more performance. My Rust free 1997 Short bed had a 5.9 and 3.90 gears had way more snot than my 95 318 with 3.55s. On paper the 5.9 doesn't make more power, but has a much better power curve and the diesel is slower than both :sleepy10:

    Rebuild 5.9L v8 or swap it?

    No they aren't NV is out of business so sourcing good parts is near impossible. 47/48 RE/RHs can be built to hold well over 1,000ft-lbs with locked shifts As for the NV4500 Fast shifting a high torque engine will break the cluster gear, strip teeth off gears. Plus 5th gear falls off which is...
