    Heater Core Replacement

    It’s not that hard, the biggest pain in the butt is getting the new heater core to slide back into place without cutting your knuckles all up. Getting the old one out isn’t so hard, you can just cut the inlet and outlet pipes, but a couple of hours and it’ll be done

    Gauges

    I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 2nd Gen pickup, my question is, is there a way to take the gauge cluster from a 3rd Gen Dodge Ram and put it into my 2nd Gen truck? I know I might have to change a lot of the wiring around, but is it possible?
