7/1999 Dodge 2500 2wd Diesel with an instrument cluster problem
This pickup has ~250K miles and lives in East Texas so, while not abused or used really hard it does have to deal with rough county roads and generally humid and hot weather. The other day, I went out to go to town and the instrument cluster was non-functional, totally dead, with an ABS warning...- sidpost

What new fog light assemblies?
We have a 1999 Dodge 2500 diesel. :) The factory fog lights leave a lot to be desired. :( What aftermarket options fit within the factory slots without major modifications that will give us a lot more 'throw' and 'fill' for dark nights on rural country roads? I have been led to believe 4"... -

Gauge cluster problem or a fuse?
Hello everyone! If my searches missed something, please point me in the right direction! ;) I have a 2000 model Dodge Ram 1500 4WD with an automatic and 360 V-8. The gauges, speedometer, tachometer, and radio all quit working at the same time. The dome light works, the HVAC works (though I... -

6.4 or 6.7 for the next truck?
There is a lot of misinformation and general bad thoughts by people who have never owned a diesel HD pickup or small truck. If you haul big weight, a diesel has huge advantages on the road. If you have a lot of time 'in service' even without going down the road diesels have a big advantage. I...- sidpost

Replacement headlight & turn signal assemblies?
PERDE 1999-2002 Dodge Ram Sport Halogen Headlights Pair w/Performance Lens Does anyone have experience with these headlights? Are they a good choice? At $110 they seem to be a bit on the expensive side but, it looks like people post some favorable reviews about them. I would most likely go... -

replacement engine choices?
The gear ratio & tire size are pretty good right now for the speeds needed. The tires are slightly over stock size so engine speed on the highway is good and I can always go 4L on the transfer case to crawl up an incline or drag a load of firewood out of the trees if needed. I also don't run...- sidpost

Replacement headlight & turn signal assemblies?
I am looking at replacing the dim yellowed headlight assemblies on my Ram 1500. I drive a lot at night at highway speeds so, I'm basically "overrunning" my lights. :nono: Hella Ralley Pro 4000's are way too much for 'on road' use so those are not getting mounted on this pickup, though some... -

Hello from East Texas!
My name is Sid and I currently run a 2000 Ram 1500 Club Cab 4x4 360 (5.9L) on my farm. As best I can tell it is a classic Dodge with a cracked dash and falling headliner that impersonates a billy goat offroad! :naughty: As it is getting a bit tired, I'm sure I will be here often seeking...- sidpost

Shocks for heavy loads in a Ram 1500?
I have a well used Ram 1500 Club Cab 1500 4x4 360 (5.9L) that is cupping tires even though the alignment is fine. The tire shop guy says it is probably the shocks. The shocks are well worn and a bit tired so, it's time to swap them out. This pickup is worked hard off-road hauling firewood...- sidpost

replacement engine choices?
I have a well used Dodge 1500 club cab 4x4 with a weak 360 (5.9L) engine. This is a farm truck that hauls firewood, pulls trailers, etc. It looks like a general remanufactured short block is ~$1600 plus labor. What would you do for something high torque (i.e. heavy loads offroad, low ground...- sidpost
