    Drive shaft removal

    My 3.9, 2wd, automatic, 1500 has developed a squeaky U joint so I'll be fixing it this weekend. I wanted to ask if the rear of the transmission is going to leak everywhere when I pull the drive shaft out or is there a seal in there to stop it. Thanks, I didn't want a big surprise when I take the...

    A/C trouble shooting

    Just a quick update. I took the clutch plate off and removed a shim and it has worked without issue. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

    A/C trouble shooting

    Well it finally messed up again on the way home yesterday. When I got home I got out to look at it and clutch wasn't spinning. I gave it a little tap and voila it engaged and started blowing cold. So I guess it's clutch replacement time. I think first I'll take the clutch front off and see if...

    A/C trouble shooting

    Ok, just a note from my original post I already replaced the relay and it still acted up after that. Yesterday I checked that the plug at the clutch had 12volts and I checked the continuity on the ground at the clutch plug and it was getting good ground. I also checked the continuity on the...

    A/C trouble shooting

    I have an intermittent problem with my compressor. It will work sometimes for days, sometimes for only about 15 minutes then it'll stop cycling. Seems to be totally random and has nothing to do with outside temps. Sometimes after I kill the truck and then start it again it'll work for a while...

    2001 slow drop.

    Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I saw where someone commented on the pinion angle after flipping the front hanger. Did you have to use angle shims to correct the pinion angle or did using the 2" drop shackles in the back of the spring keep the pinion angle correct? Thanks and the...

    Passive inline subsonic filters

    I am fixing to be replacing the two old pioneer 12's in my truck with 1 Sundown 8 in a ported box tuned to about 35 hz. The guy at the stereo store said I have to run it on an amp with a subsonic filter. I think he was just trying to sell me an amp, but I am very happy with my old school Pioneer...

    Pics of your 2nd gen ?

    I finally tinted my windows... precut tint from ebay is awesome by the way if any of you haven't tried it. I also did the front brakes and put on my 15X10 Cragar Soft 8's. I like the way it looks, but I still want to install a 2/4 drop on it.

    Difference in 1999 and 2003 years A/C compressor

    My A/C compressor on my '99 1500 is leaking around the front, you can see where the oil is leaking out around the bolts on the top front. My local U-Auto-Pull-It had a 1/2 price sale the other day and so I went and pulled a good looking compressor from an '03 because the hoses and everything...

    New guy with brake pad question

    That's what I figured, but thought I'd ask anyway just incase it didn't even matter. Thanks

    New guy with brake pad question

    Hey guys and gals, I'm new to the Dodge world/forum. I have a 77 Ford F100 that had been my daily driver so I always hung out on the FTE forum, but I recently purchased a 99 2wd Ram 1500 with a 3.9 V6 and I love it. I'll post pics soon. I tried doing a search but didn't come up with...
