    Oil leak in tail pipe

    Transmission swap compatabilty

    I own a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd Laramie and a 1999 Dodge Ram van 3500 2wd. I was wondering if the transmission in the van is the same as the truck and I could swap them out. The transmission went out on the van and the frame of the van is badly rusted through on the front end. It has several...
