    Starter solenoid connector busted

    Did you happen to ever find this connector? I need the same one for my sons truck. I can not find a part number for this thing to save my life.

    99 5.2 Misfire

    Cap, rotor, plugs and wires all have roughly 3k miles on them. Bought the truck with 112k miles, first thing we did was a tune up (by a local shop). But I can still do that.

    99 5.2 Misfire

    My sons truck is misfiring again. About 2-3 weeks ago I swapped out the ignition coil with a new one because the engine light was on and the code was for a Cylinder#6 misfire. It fixed the issue and truck was running great until now, now the engine light is on again and it is for Cylinder #8...

    99 5.2l AC issue

    I changed the switch, I did not hear anything and nothing came out which I thought was odd. I have checked all the lines ect for a leak but I didn't find any evidence of a leak, but the engine bay on this thing is cleaner than my check, so most likely any evidence of a leak was washed away. My...

    99 5.2l AC issue

    I haven't had a chance to do anything yet, just got it back from the shop having the water pump replaced and some other stuff. I didn't have the extra funds to have them deal with the AC. I am not an auto mechanic by any means so if the clutch isn't engaging what is evacuating it and recharging...

    99 5.2l AC issue

    Honestly, I didn't check that before now, but I went out and tried it and the compressor clutch doesn't seem to be engaging at all now.

    99 5.2l AC issue

    Bought my kid a 99 5.2l a few weeks ago, the ac will blow cool (not cold) air for sometimes a minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes almost no time at all, and then will suddenly go full hot. Tried replacing the low pressure (ac clutch control?) switch but that didnt work. Any ideas what to...

    Knocking?

    1999 5.2l, 115k miles. Recently started making what sounds like an engine knock at idle, but if you increase the rpms or put it in gear (automatic) it goes away. Anyone have any experience with this? I was thinking maybe an exhaust leak, especially since the same time this started the muffler...

    99' Stereo Upgrade Help

    Thanks guys, I actually forgot all about crutchfield. I am not looking to brake the bank considering this is his first truck which will most likely either get wrecked or traded in before too long, so not looking to invest a bunch of money in it (even though I know any stereo we install can be...

    99' Stereo Upgrade Help

    Bought my son a 99' Ram 1500 for his first truck but the stereo is junk, no fm radio and front speakers get nothing, and would prefer him to have bluetooth to use his phone if needed and possible add a back up cam. Looking for ideas on a best bang for the buck and ease of install. Any suggestions?

    Rebuilding Rear end

    So what is the difficulty level in rebuilding a rear end? Mine is shot, warranty is expired and I don't have thousands to take it to a dealer right now. I took it to the local garage to have it diagnosed, wasnt sure is it was a wheel bearing on something else. They wont touch it. its a 2014...

    2014 Sport, unintentional acceleration ...

    It all happened pretty fast, but it was basically full throttle, as soon as I realized my truck was moving forward although I was sitting at a red light with my foot on the brake, I put both feet on the brake as hard I as I could and I was still moving forward. So I put in in neutral and it went...

    2014 Sport, unintentional acceleration ...

    First issue, sounds like The Reaper and Casper had plans for you! This would not surprise me in the least little bit... haha I am thinking it could possibly be related to recall #18V332000, but I have never once used the cruise control so I don't know. Trying to get it to a dealer in the next...

    2014 Sport, unintentional acceleration ...

    Negative on the pedal commander. Just the Hemifever tune with the diablo but that has been installed for 75k+ miles. I haven't made any changes except new shocks since original mods were done, again 75k+ miles ago.

    2014 Sport, unintentional acceleration ...

    Gotchya, I am pretty confident it wasn't anything like that but I will keep in it mind incase I do decide to have it looked at. This was equivalent to trying to power brake it, except my feet were no where near the gas pedal.
