What gears to throw in this thing
3" lift, 33s, towing periodically? 4.56. Don't fear the gear. You've probably got 3.55s which make these trucks dog slow.- dodge dude94

What did you do to/with your second gen today?
Wake up, y'all. Finally said to hell with this heat and fixed my A/C. Evidently my accumulator plugged up and needed replaced. Changed my accumulator and high side line last weekend and have good A/C again. Heater core bypass is next. Here soon I'm planning on replacing both lock actuators...- dodge dude94

Unconventional PCV hose routing
You can swap the breather and PCV valve between the valve covers, so you can change it to whatever you like. Usually the PCV is on the passenger bank and the breather hose going to the air box is on the drivers side.- dodge dude94

What did you do to/with your second gen today?
Changed the clock spring only to find out its a 98 specific part and that no one makes it anymore. They're all 99+. So I had to run to the junk yard and buy a new air bag. Put it all back together to find my scraping noise still present, lessened, but there nonetheless. I don't know what to...- dodge dude94

Transmission upgrade
Sadly no one makes an easily swappable aftermarket auto for these trucks that's anything other than a 4 speed. PATC makes the MegaViper which is supposed to be the best mail order trans you can get for these trucks, but it's still a 46RH/E.- dodge dude94

2001 Infinity Radio
The Infinity head won't power the front speakers without their amps if I remember right. Do yourself a favor and just buy a nice aftermarket single DIN head and be done with it. I swapped my Infinity unit out years ago with a lower end Pioneer system and it's been great. Converted the front...- dodge dude94

What did you do to/with your second gen today?
Ahhh yes. This place is musty as usual. Been a while, y'all. Anyway, got 2 weeks off for Holiday/Shutdown from work so I'm going to do a couple things in the mean time. Finally going to get around to replacing my air bag clock spring that I've been sitting on for months as well as some axle...- dodge dude94

doing an auto to spicer 3053a swap
So what you're saying is that it basically gives you the drivetrain of a medium duty truck. Wicked. What do you use your rig for? Hot shotting?- dodge dude94

doing an auto to spicer 3053a swap
So what vehicle does this transmission come out of? Also what is the benefit to this swap rather than a 4500, 5600 or G56 swap?- dodge dude94

Rancho shocks????
Sounds like the shocks are having an internal failure. My guess is a bad batch that no one wants to own up to.- dodge dude94
