    DodgeTx why do you recommend blocking off the trans cooler, because it’s not needed with the added trans cooler behind the AC condenser?

    Swap electric windows out for manual?

    Is it possible to swap out electric windows for manual on a 97 2500? If so how hard is it? Thanks all

    Bleeding ABS controller

    BTW, that pump, or valve, that only the rear line passes through, from the proportioning valve, is also called a hydraulic control unit (HCU) in my service manual. (Its not available anymore from the dealer but there are some new and used ones on Ebay) Its got the two solenoids in it which is...

    Bleeding ABS controller

    Thanks, the brakes were working when I replaced all the cylinders and both calipers, so doubt there is a problem with the proportioning valve. And since my last post, I've been able to suction fluid through both the proportioning valve (which my service manual calls a "combination valve") and...

    How to disconnect fuel lines at tank?

    97 diesel, can’t figure out how to disconnect the fuel lines at the fuel tank, one guy said to push two clips in at the line side and with other hand pull the line back but I don’t see the two tabs and can’t fit both hands in there. Any suggestion greatly appreciated. Is there a special tool for...

    Bleeding ABS controller

    Thanks, the wires to rear end are long gone and that valve makes bleeding a pain. I’ll look for a proportioning valve

    Bleeding ABS controller

    Forgot to say, I’m pulling the gas tank so I can replace the brake line from the rear end to the ABS valve. I don’t have any question, just posting all this in case anyone runs into bleeding problems with the valve. Mine only needed bleeding because I replaced the master cylinder, which put some...

    Bleeding ABS controller

    Well I think the valve, which I was calling the controller might be OK, as I was able to suction fluid through it fine from the master cylinder and combiner by putting a pipe on the outlet of it. Then to test the line to the rears I put a schrader valve on one end of a clear hose and put the...

    What is a T56? Is that an automatic?

    Bleeding ABS controller

    I put a new master brake cylinder in my 97 diesel ram. The ABS controller isnt letting much fluid through, making bleeding hard so I took it out and will probably put a pipe in it’s place. So if anybody knows if any problem that might result from that I’d appreciate the advice. I got fluid to...

    how to tell if hubs are stuck engaged 97 2500

    What happens when you drive a hundred miles on pavement in 4H ? I did it twice on this. I know it’s not good but just curious just how bad it is

    how to tell if hubs are stuck engaged 97 2500

    Traveling Ram, I just adjusted the T case shifter and got an extra spot to shift into so jacked up the right wheel and darned if it didn’t free wheel. So you were right on, it wasn’t getting into 2 H. I put about 200 highway miles on it like that since I rebuilt the T case myself so I hope I...

    how to tell if hubs are stuck engaged 97 2500

    Thanks, I’m agreeing it’s probably not the differential but it is stuck engaged, the axles not the T case which is in 2High and there’s no hopping going on, no binding. I just remembered I was thinking a while back I’d put in one of the kits to get rid of the vacuum actuator and replace it with...
