    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    As in a past few threads I have spoken about truck smoking off and on. Ruled out intake since it has been replaced and oil is clean. Now this is where it gets tricky. Motor hasn't been or currently running hot. Little miss here and there but other wise been running real good. Some water comes...

    Looking for some ideas on smoking issue

    As most in here know, this truck sat for 5 years +. Tranny being the main reason why. Upon getting back into the truck. The motor was in the process of locking up but with a overnight soaking of MM. It freed up real easy. Oil change was done before I did any engine running. Had some white smoke...

    Reproduction Lower Dash Main Frame Assembly

    I came across this today for some of you that have the cash to afford the cost of $1,500. Great to see but to rich for my blood at this time but hopefully helps some of you guys in the same position as myself. https://www.alldodgetruck.com/products/2nd-generation-cummins-dash

    Drips out tail pipe like running nose

    As some may know, I have been working to get my wife 99 Dodge Ram back on the road again. Had some light white smoke after first intake gasket change with no water in the oil. Figured some water was getting in a cylinder or two so I took everything back out and did another new replacement of...

    Question on Ball Joint replacement

    The threads in here are limited on information and You Tube seem to be more on 4x4 side. My question is how hard are they to do and are 4x4 pretty much the same? Mine is 2 wheel drive. I noticed when I did new tires my drive side upper has no rubber so it's life is done. Local shop wants $250...

    Might be a dumb question?

    I noticed today while running motor I was hearing a clicking sound so thinking it was maybe a lifter but it wasn't but that is a good thing. There is a part on the passenger fender that was doing the clicking. I'm not sure exactly what it is or it's purpose so I thought maybe one of you...

    It's a labor of love

    As we know, bringing a 2nd generation Dodge Ram backs to its glory is more a labor of love then a investment for cash. As some may know in here. I have been doing that to my late wife 1999 Ram 1500. This truck will be passed down to our daughter once my time is done here and my goal is to bring...

    Maybe set up a thread that would help other Dodge owners meet up and maybe help others in your area?

    I was thinking since a lot of people help other through these very threads helps a lot of us in so many ways. I wonder without putting anyone safety at risk that maybe we could do something that would allow others that may be close to someone could possible not only make friendships but could...

    Some parts are getting hard to find

    I have a 99 Dodge Ram pick up and some parts are hard to come by sometimes. You can find dashboard parts like covers and such but the main dash those parts attach to are rare and expensive. As many of these trucks are still driving today, you would think the after market would be there but very...

    Intake may have a small leak at broken bolt

    Even though the motor runs great. I'm still seeing some white smoke that has a sweet smell ( no anti freeze in system). I don't see any water in the oil and the plugs look fine but what I am thinking is the leak is so small that it getting some water in the chamber that is getting burned off...

    Timing change question

    Since my 99 Dodge ram is torn down. I am thinking about also doing the timing chain and gaskets. Since this is one thing that I have never done before so I am really doing some reading and you tube research before I make any attempt. The 5.2 motor has around 168,000 miles on it so I'm sure its...

    Quick question on oil pan sealer

    I am going to hopefully get the oil pan today but but out of curiosity. Should I put sealer in the corners in both the front and back? I have went through the book and it only shows this on the 2.7 diagram. I'm using the rubber Felpro gasket. I don't believe I did this last time but I'm being...
