    Cold miss fire

    Hey all, new issue seems to have come up and scares me I might not be able to get to work! When the truck sits and gets to ambient air temps, first start up seems normal.

    No bus odometer?

    Alright. I’m starting to get annoyed with this ram. Bought it with abs and brake light on and abs does not work. Figured some sensors, now every time I drive it the truck dings, the air bag light comes, speedometer drops and the odometer read no bus. Anyone know what’s going on? What do I do?

    Aftermarket radio wiring

    2001 ram 1500 quad cab. I went to Best Buy and the guy printed me out some pages of wiring. So far it seems like I’m putting everything to stock so I can work forward again and fix what the previous owner destroyed.

    Trans shifting issue

    Its so far every time from park to reverse or park to drive. Truck had sat for a year and some months so that could be some of the issue. Haven’t really moved it around much yet as it’s a job to get it back to health after so long of sitting

    Can convertion?

    Hey everyone! God it’s been so long since I’ve been on! Last year I bought a Chevy 6.5 for s&g and my buddy bought a 24 valve. Well a year later he wants my 6.5 and I want his Cummins.

    Rocker panel and Lower door covers

    Found these, think they'd be cool. thinking that if i spray the rust with inhibitor or whatever works to stop it's stressing these days I'll have a good shot at hiding the damage and making it look good. Have to measure it up and hope it works. Spray them black if it works and the truck will...

    Rocker panel and Lower door covers

    My truck has some door rot, all 4 doors. I see those chrome covers they make, does it cover a lot of the door? I need to cover this size hole, can't afford spending 1000 on doors since clean quad cab doors cost a metric ton.
