    Pics of your 2nd gen ?

    99 Ram 2500 2 wheel drive360/auto. Been putting some work into it to get it back to as new condition. Traded a Miata for it. It’s been a super nice running truck aside from some stupid mods that were done.

    Upgraded to a 4th gen!

    Spent 6 hours yesterday washing, clay bar, cleaning tar off her, and doing the 3 step black wax treatment. Lordy what a project. Also, what do yall think of the tool box. Wife thinks i should polish it up and add some l.e.d. clearance lights to it. Add a little Big Rig style to it.

    Upgraded to a 4th gen!

    Yup. Headlights are dim as shit. Tail lights not so much since they are red it doesnt take as much color to make them dark. Im planning to add some l.e.d. driving lights where the tow hooks are currently. Shes mostly a garage kept toy so i dont drive it at night much.

    e85 fuel

    All the same processes are required to produce gasoline, except the massive use of fuel and energy required to drill and harvest oil from the ground. Also corn burns cleaner, hence better for the environment.

    So, I finally got fed up with what was left of my old 99, so picked this beauty up last Monday. 2010 QC 4.7 flexfuel. This is the newest truck I've ever owned, and I gotta say I love it! Ive already smoked all the lights, threw on my 3rd gen flower petal 20's to replace the cc 17's and had the...

    99 Ram Fixer up Project

    Replaced the pitman arm today. It got better but still not perfect. Heading out to get tie rods tomorrow since they were pretty loose. May as well do the idler arm too. Then i can schedule it for an alignment and balance the wheels while they are at it.

    at home paint job?

    This was done with Rustoleum Industrial Gloss Black with a smooth foam roller. Word of the wise, if you do roll it, use a new roller for each coat. I f'd mine up and got little foam bits all in my second coat. Now i gotta sand it all down and re-do it. fortunately i found a few dents i had...

    Ive got the same problem with my 99 2wd 3.9. Im very interested to hear some opinions on this. My VSS is in the side of the tranny though. I replaced it to no avail.

    99 Ram Fixer up Project

    Ive read up on the 2wd death wobble and it is fairly common, and appears to be pitman arm and idler arm issues. Rock Auto has Moog parts cheapy cheap. Just ordered both manual window regulators and new crank arms for 90 shipped. Great prices.

    99 Ram Fixer up Project

    I will, as soon as i fix it. I screwed up and didnt change rollers between coats and using an oil based paint like rustoleum, the roller disintegrates in about an hour. So when i did the second coat it left chunks of foam all in it and was really runny. I can clean it up and post a pic though...

    99 Ram Fixer up Project

    A quick question. Has anybody experienced a death wobble on a 2wd truck? Hit a bump on 3 separate occasions today, and it felt like a wheel was gonna fall off. slowed down below 30 and it stopped. Got worse once i loaded about 800lb of gravel in the back. Is this a thing on these trucks? Also, i...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    Yesterday spent 3 hours at the DMV getting it registered, then took her for her first drive with the new rims/tires on it. Fixed the no bus thing on the odometer, p.o. didnt put the guage cluster back in all the way and the pins werent connecting on the back. Ordered new manual window regulators...

    New Ram owner in Illinois!

    Also had to replace the tailgate that was rusted to hell and was off of an early model with the smaller hinge diameter. 75 bucks at the boneyard solved that. Next, i have a question. The p.o. replaced the doors with a set off a 94-97, then instead removing the power door harness, he just...
