    1998 1500 transmission

    My trans decided to go out and I’m looking for a replacement, what are the differences between these and the Durango 5.9 transmissions? I have a 1998 ram 1500 5.2 chassis auto with a 5.9 swap. I’ve heard that there are differences depending on the years, is this true? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Trans just went?

    I’ll hopefully be fixing it next week, parts are on the way! As a bit of a newbie to transmission work, is RTV okay for the pan gasket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trans just went?

    I checked the fluid on the side of the road and it was full, but it did smell burnt. The linkage I will need to check. But it didn’t feel any differently than usual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trans just went?

    I think my transmission just went out on me. It doesn’t shift out of first gear and then it starts to slip. Am I crazy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Radio blew a fuse and dash started smoking

    I was on my way home and my radio shut off, then I heard a pop and started smelling a burnt smell and smoke. I pulled my radio and saw some wires had melter together (not sure how) I fixed those and replaced the fuse but when I turned it on there was smoke from behind the gauges and the fuse...

    Overheating problem

    So I tried bleeding the system and found that only the top 3 inches of the radiator get hot. I assume that’s a clog of some kind? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Overheating problem

    I’ve got a 98 1500 which has had a 99 5.9 swapped in (still running in the 5.2 computer) that has just started overheating. I just did a water pump when I put the engine in less than 1500 miles ago. Pretty much whenever I drive I need to have the heater on full blast and the engine temp will...

    Engine build

    I believe the plenum was already done when I purchased the engine. And I have already done distributor wires and plugs. So heads and tune? Then exhaust? I can do that at home as my father has a welder and loads of experience. What heads did you buy/where did you get them? Also thanks for all the...

    Engine build

    I've got a 98 ram with a 99 5.9 engine and I'd like to do a bit of a build, first heads (engine quest) then carb conversion and eventually a cam. I know for the carb conversion I need to get a different intake, would it be worth it to get the heads with the older LA bolt pattern for more...
