    Identify connector front left above headliner

    Any idea what this is for? The only thing I can think of that I don’t have is lit vanity mirrors, but I’ve not found any for sale. There’s one on both sides.

    Strobe placement ideas?

    For rear facing I think a bar mounted high in the back window. I'm kinda struggling with the front though. I don't like the look of aftermarket lights on the grill. Maybe a few hide-aways that poke thru won't be too noticeable. I'd really like to have strobing clearance lights, but none are made...

    Falken Wildpeak H/T02 - Any experience with them?

    Anyone have experience with these tires? I've found threads on every tire that's on my list except these. They aren't even listed on Tire Rack or 1010. I've had Falken passenger tires in the past that made it to about 72k before they separated. If I can't find any experience with these, I'm...

    Gooseneck height not important like bumper hitch?

    Bumper pulls need to be level or close enough to it. You can get drop and lift hitches to achieve this. What about goosenecks and fifth wheels? I've read about modifying trailers to keep the bumper off the ground and having to shop with bed height in mind, but is leveling the trailer as...

    sagging, sticking, squeaking door

    Not ram specific, but age related. Driver's door saggs a bit and clunks into the latch when closing. It holder spring thing gets stuck a bit (like a very hard detent) when open all the way so I'm wondering if there's more issue than just the pin/bushing. Any experience out there? Will a new pin...

    Favorite car audio brands (2022)

    I'm looking for info on brands in general. Who makes good amps and speakers? It's been a decade since I looked into car audio and everything seems upsidedown. I know it's 99% subjective, but I want to know the general consensus on what's trash and whats decent. The specific brand I'm trying to...

    Tow hitch quality

    I need a hitch... the thing with the ball wellded to the tube that slides into the receiver. I'm finding prices from $20-100+. There doesn't seem to be a ton of differences, but there's got to be something. Ignoring the adjustable stuff- just need a regular ole hitch. The only real things I've...

    Original windshield w/ blue tint on top

    I've had a couple fords from the era of the blue tint AS1 strip, but this Dodge is very annoying. It's very close to being a blue filter. I can barely see red or yellow lights through it. I've nearly run some red lights cause of it- the green light just turns off as opposed to the light turning...

    Stop flaking chrome... Same method as paint?

    Just got a brush guard cheap. It has a couple light mount holes on the bottom of a crossbar. The chrome is peeling around the hole and the metal underneath has a nice layer of rust. It's not visible when standing, so I'm not too worried about an ugly fix. Do I treat it like painted metal or are...

    Should I update my ownership of this truck with Dodge?

    I recently contacted Dodge to get the build sheet on my recently purchased '96. They responded with it (the same thing that the website below gave me), but also requested that I send them a scan of my registrations so they could update me as the owner of the vehicle. Is there any reason to do...

    OEM Bumpers: standard, sport, and another one?

    I thought there were two bumpers. The standard one that goes from 94-02, and the sport of the same years but with an additional change in 99... but what about this one? I found one for sale, but can only find a handfull of pics of it. Edit: It's a 4th gen bumper. Apparently a somewhat popular...

    How are the heavy-duty, "cow rated" bumpers/brush guards mounted?

    Looking at used brush guards cause I like the look... which is good cause that's basically all they're good for. Are the big bumper replacements just mounted via the oem bumper mounts or are there aditional mounting spots added? I imagine that the shape of the aftermarket bumpers is where the...

    Need "standard" edge trim

    The picture is the best description. I have fiberglass running boards/skirt. Along the entire edge is a rubber strip with a little chrome accent. What is this called? All it does is cover the edge of the fiberglass. Woud anyone recommend gluing new stuff on, or just letting friction hold it on...

    Rear amber turn signal mod idea

    I truly hate brake/turn combo lights. I'd like to move the turn signal to the reverse bulb location. I plan on using an amber/white combo led. I don't want to do any cutting on the factory harness so my idea is to make a harness that will plug into the existing bulb sockets that will switch all...

    I really hate these tow mirrors

    I have standard looking tow mirrors that the PO installed. They’re terrible. The blind spot mirror is not at all aligned to be useful when they’re folded down. They’re better when extended tho. The main mirror on the right side is worthless. It’s flat, thus making the field of view minuscule...

    Identify Overload Leaf Springs

    1996 2500 Cummins Anyone know what kind of springs I have? PO used this truck with his bed camper and I have no clue if they're stock. The back of the spring looks the same as the front. Looks like a 4 pack with 2 overload on top. It started pouring as I was taking the last pic, hence the poor...

    Gauges on Dash and Sun Damage?

    I plan on getting some gauges and putting them on the dash right in front of the steering wheel. There's plenty of room for it not not obstruct view of the road. I won't use pods, just modify a dash mat to drape on top and make it look good. Would sun damage be a concern being that the only...

    New Cummins!

    Hi all. I've a recently purchased 1996 Cummins. I'm a member over at the Cummins forum, but I'm finding that site a bit lacking for the rest of the truck... So here I am.
