    Truck Throwing weird codes

    Hey guys, I just got a new Actron 9690 code reader. It does it all- trans, srs and abs. Well I scanned the truck and I'm getting weird codes. Not normal P**** codes. Basically, I was hoping someone on here may have had them and has a fix for them, or at least a place I could start...

    Weird question/thought about PCM's

    Has anyone swapped pcms from an older 3rd gen to a newer one? I read that the later models introduced the "multi displacement system". In theory since it's still a 5.7 hemi, couldn't you swap to an 07 or 08 pcm and get the multi displacement? With that, those who have it is it worth it? Is...

    Radio head change

    So in this 05 Ram 1500 I'm thinking about buying, i have a cool idea I think. I saw you can buy a new double din bezel, and the accompanying parts to make it fit for 40 bucks. My idea is to get one of the new Ram touch screen Bluetooth Sirius radios. I'm sure the wiring harness won't be a...

    Potentally dead truck. Any suggestions?

    I won't recap my last post which outlined my problems when I went 4 wheeling with my truck. The problem I'm currently having is no oil pressure. Or more accurately, intermittent oil pressure. I first tested the gauge, and it was operable. I then swapped the oil sending unit, which had no...

    Is a dash swap possible?

    I am aware that 94-97 has a different style dash then 98-2001. IV got a 99 and the dash board has more pieces then a puzzle. Can you swap the entire dash board for the 97 style, or do I have to just have to hold to what I got?

    How to fix this small lift

    As my truck sits now, I bought it with a 3in lift in the front, and apparently nothing was done to the rear as it sits like it's towing something. I think it looks stupid as he11. How do I bring up the rear so it sits level? Also, I'm thinking about changing it to a 5in lift, and putting 18-20...

    How to modify Aftermarket Speakers to work with your Infinity System

    For reference, I did this on my 99 Ram 1500 5.9 extended cab. Also, this is for the door speakers only, as the rear are pretty straight forward. First, you wanna grab you tools. First you need to put your speaker face down, and decide where you want to mount the amp (which you need to...

    Should I use synthetic or keep using conventional?

    I'm gonna be changing the oil in my 99(188k), and had the thought to switch to synthetic. Now everywhere Iv read so far says that both types are compatible and are safe to use. However this is a 90's truck and that info might not be valid. Any thoughts?
