    93 5.2 runs bad when cold

    I've got a 93 B250 im helping a neighbor with. I know its not a ram but it's the same 5.2 magnum in gen1 Trucks. I'm no stranger to these. Haven't dealt with many with EGR tho. Haven't seen this issue before. It won't idle when cold. Have to hold throttle open a little. Same at all temps. At...

    99 ram no start

    It lives! Turns out the ECM wasn't sending power to the FASS Relay so the truck ran until it airlocked the system. I used a boat pump to fill the system then re-attached at the HPP and let the pump run. Truck still wouldn't start. I cracked 1, 3 and 4 injector tubes and shot the turbo with some...

    Starting issues

    It's hard to say on something like that without the truck in front of me but the only thing I can think is an issue with the connector under the driver floor behind the wheel liner that connects the body to chassis harness. The fuel pump, fuel level warning sensor, 4x4 stuffz, rear lighting...

    99 ram no start

    Doing some research I'm seeing alot of FASS motor failures and even with a new one that one may last a year and have an issue. Im wondering if i can upgrade it to the 260 gph pump vs the 165 gph pump that is called for on the 98.5-04 ram kits if it'll cause any issues

    Sludgy Oil in 2014 3500

    Yea the old 24v 5.9s used to just dump beside the block on driver's side but that made an oily mess and the EPA didnt like it so they added that filter to the 6.7s. very easy to change and i bet the old one will weigh 3x what the new one does. Definitely time to change it

    Help 2003 Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins turbo

    Do you have any diesel shops nearby? We have a couple here that work on semi's and commercial equipment so they rebuild EVERYTHING and typically they can order parts directly from suppliers bypassing CUMMINS and Mopar getting it alot cheaper. One is an authorized Cummins facility so they can get...

    Sludgy Oil in 2014 3500

    This because if the crank cant vent properly you'll start getting blowby burning the oil and overheating what's left causing sludge

    Looking at buying a Cummins - questions/advice

    The tow mirrors and backup camera can be added with MOPAR genuine accessory kits from the dealer and I'd highly recommend them since they work like stock, dont give you weird issues down the road that cant be diagnosed because there's no wiring diagram and if it's a mopar warranty, it will...

    99 ram no start

    I was able to get out inbetween the downpours today and get the supply off the pump and drop it in a container and same results. i even took the feed line off the HPP and bypassed the relay and all i get is a momentary spit when the pump turns on and that's it. I can put my finger on the line...

    Considering an '01 24v 4x4

    I wouldn't worry too much about the trans. They're not as notorious as you might think. First thing you can do is drop the pan, change the fluid and filter. Separate the filter and check for clutch material. Get a feel for the trans's history and life then adjust the bands and re-assemble. The...

    Looking at buying a Cummins - questions/advice

    Working at the dealer since 2012 i'll tell you to be careful buying something with 70k since you cant do what our NC boys do and delete ALL emissions. You're nearing the end of the emissions warranty and the main failure points in these trucks is the emission system. SCR which there's a recall...

    99 ram no start

    I recently picked up a 99 ram single cab with a 5.9 auto. I've always wanted a 24v standard cab truck. I managed to pick this truck up cheap with a smashed front end. It started up and moved so I knew I had to get it. Got it home and over the past couple weeks i've managed to aquire a complete...

    7 way trailer wiring

    The late model 2500 and 3500 the hitch is the rear frame so it'll always be there. Mine has the hole for the 7 way plug but harness has nothing. Will that kit truly be plug and play along with a TBC? No configuring or anything. Looks like it's got a couple extra wires.

    7 way trailer wiring

    I'm considering selling my mega cab to my parents who recently bought a horse trailer and need something bigger to tow it. This trailer even dwarfs my MC surprisingly. It's a 7 way with brakes. My 06 MC has the blue plug behind the dash for the controller but 4-way wiring hanging down at the...

    Floor shifter

    So we know the 4th gen console can be made to work in 3rd gens but has anyone made the shifter in that console work? It used in the same rfe trans trucks so I'd assume with the shift cable and shift lockout linkage it should be possible

    hemi questions

    Sucks the 6.1 manifolds won't work. I've got everything from throttle body to header. I'd hate to restrict the 6.1 with truck manifolds and I'll be keeping the 6.1 cover setup and make accessory drives work. I've seen it done. I prefer the 6.1 intake and it looks sweeter. Disappointing about the...

    Fed up with my seats

    So I just got back from a 550 mile trip. The drive there was 4.5 hours and not too bad. The drive back was 5.5 because I spent 1.5 hours in Raleigh Durham stop and go for 30 miles. Afterwards my right foot went numb with 2 hours to go. My right leg just below the butt was sitting on the metal...

    Center console swap

    I'll speak from the 4th gen. We had to remove seats and cut off the brackets that are welded to the seats that holds the center seat. We also had to cut the duct since the center console one was larger than the under seat duct. We also had to use self tapping screws to hold the bracket to the...

    hemi questions

    I was looking in my garage at the 6.1 hemi and 5.7 vvt hemi I've got on stands and now I've got a couple hemi questions that may seem dumb. #1 can the NGC4 run hemi vvt? Can a Diablo change software type in the pcm like put 6.1 software in a 5.7 pcm. I've been told they can. I was wondering...

    Center console swap

    Funny I'm considering doing the swap on my 06 mega. I've done this swap on a 17 mega cab and it was easy. The vents worked with little modification. I've driven 2 trucks at work with centers recently 08 and a 06 and didn't think to check vents. I'd assume there's vents in the center. May need...
