    My V6 Froze Up. Time for a V8 Swap?

    As the title implies, my little 3.9L finally bit the dust. She busted a piston somehow, somewhere. My dad was driving the truck, and then boom. Selling the truck is out of the question due to sentimental reasons. So, what exactly are my options? I was pondering the idea of building a V8 for the...

    So I Have a Problem...

    Hello fellow truck owners, I have an issue with my 3.9L Magnum. In the summertime, my radiator developed a very small leak under pressure. I usually had to top it off once every few weeks. I suppose that topping it off with plain water from the hose so much eventually replaced all of the coolant...

    Want to Buy a 2nd Gen Cummins

    Hello all, So I've been pondering the thought of buying me a diesel burner lately. I love my '98 Ram 1500 with the V6, but since it was my grandfathers, I really don't want to rack up miles on it. I started out quickly searching Craigslist and found several trucks ranging from $1,500 to...

    Dash Skins... How Long Do They Last?

    OK, so my truck had another fatal blow to the dash this week. I hit a rumble strip on the side of the highway and almost cried as a crack decided to form down the middle of my dash, and it even got my pristine bezel, which made it worse. I've seen the price of the ABS overlays, and I've seen the...

    Looking to Buy a New Truck

    Alrighty guys. I posted on here several weeks ago about my desire to go to a V8 engine in my truck. I got some feedback, and most said to either sell my current 2nd gen and get one with a V8, or buy another truck. For those that don't know, my truck is a 1998 1500, regular cab, long bed...

    Column to Floor Shifter Conversion?

    Ok, so I posted this in the Engine and Performance section because my question relates more to the transmission than the DIY interior work involved to make this happen. So long story short, I'm in the process of planning out a custom center console for my truck, and I happened across this...

    Most Popular Interior Mods

    Just out of my curiosity, I'm looking to do some work to my truck, and I was wanting to see pictures of some of the popular interior mods to do on these trucks. I was already looking at swapping in a 3rd Gen console, I heard they fit really good, or custom building one. Has anyone built a custom...

    3.9L to V8 Swap?

    So just curious, how much money would I be looking at to do a swap in my '98 Ram from the 3.9L V6 to a V8. I'd also be looking at refreshing the V8 before putting it in the truck, but nothing to crazy. New intake, plenum fix, new timing stuff, heads, etc. Canned tune to open it up a bit...

    My 1998 Ram 1500 - "The Green Hornet"

    What's up guys! So, just like the rest of you here, I've reached that time where I am now starting to have to throw parts at my truck from time to time. I decided to start this thread to keep track of the mods I do to the truck and to show off some pictures of the progress. For starters, I...

    3.9L Exhaust

    Anyone have any clips of aftermarket exhaust on the 3.9L? I like the sound of the stocker and its semi-V8 rumble, but I feel that it could be a bit louder.

    Bulletproofing My Ram

    Hi, So, just like the rest of you here, I've reached that time where I am now starting to have to throw parts at my truck from time to time. I will be getting a nice chunk of change in December, and I'm looking at taking some of that money and using it to bulletproof my truck. I'm 17, and this...

    Touch-Up Plastidip?

    So I ended up with a chip in my plasti-dip on my rear bumper. Is there any good way to touch it up or do I need to take the bumper off the truck and completely respray it?

    Bad Radiator?

    Hello guys, So just yesterday I noticed the temperature in my truck go up to about 200-210 degrees. I drive it everyday to school and back (about 4 miles round trip) and it's always sat comfortably around 180-190. I didn't think much about it, as it was kind of warm outside (80) and I had let...

    Where do you mount your switches?

    Just a quick question, I'm looking to add some aftermarket equipment to my truck and I'm wondering, where do you guys mount your switches at in your trucks? I have a few ideas but I want to see some pictures first to see how it looks.

    Adding a Mechanical Oil Pressure Guage

    Howdy guys, I want to add a mechanical oil pressure gauge to my truck, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I have a 1998 Ram with the 3.9L V6. I've heard about people T'ing off of the stock electric sending unit, but I don't have the mechanical know-how to tear the top half of the engine...

    1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Project

    Hey all, my name is Brandon, and I'm pretty new to this board. Anywho, so my grandfather passed away last year, and left me his '98 Dodge Ram. Now, I've done a few visual things to it, and that's about it. I'm only 15, so I don't have a ton of cash, but what are some things that I could do and...
