    04 2500 compustar remote start

    It's been quite a while since I've been on here, ever since it left tapatalk (which now most forums aren't using), tapatalk made using forums fast and simple. But anyway, for the past month or so I've been trying to install a compustar (cm900as) with idatalink blade AL into my 2004 ram 2500...

    Brakes driving me crazy

    It's similar to the Ford but not belt driven it's gear driven. Small gear on the lower right driver's the vacuum pump and power steering. From everything I've read it's not vacuum related, at least not completely. It's still possible that this master cylinder is bad also. I have another test to...

    Brakes driving me crazy

    So on my 1990 w250 12v Cummins I've been struggling with getting the brakes figured out. Everything is brand new. basically did a fluid flush yesterday to ensure that there's no air in the system. ABS has been removed completely (not that there's much on these trucks). When the truck is OFF...

    I was able to drop the trans cooler out of the way. Did have to disconnect 1 line and remove the down pipe. And added a clean out port for the heater core 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    Charging issue resolved. I had followed decent garage install of the transpo internal regulator. I'm not sure if it's alternator related or 91.5-93 related on where you can install the ground wire for the transpo, but how he installed it didn't work for me. I moved the ground to how the...

    Today didn't go as planned. Still can't figure out the no charging issue, grid heater currently is up in the air, most likely will have to wait until cooler weather to see if it works, and today was the first time I have run the truck for more than a few minutes and I have a pin hole in a freeze...

    Weekend of wiring. For those who don't know I swapped the 90 steering column for a 92. And dodge changed wiring at least once between 90-92. So it wasn't a plug and play swap. Luckily the ignition side wiring pretty much matched up color wise. The multi function switch side was close. So I had...

    Looking at the 6.4. Need info.

    That is true. I've towed with both. The 6.4L doesn't necessarily struggle on most occasions but needs to be in higher rpms. It's possible what some meant (if this was their first 3/4-1 ton truck) when they said "like it wasn't even there" was, yes when towing with the 6.4L, overall you don't...

    Got the fuse panel wired up. Once the inner fenders are on I'll tidy up the wiring. Added a few more grounds 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    The rust encapsulator was more along the lines of por15. I almost should have used both the platinum and Eastwoods black rust encapsulator. Next project I'd probably go that route 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    Easy to work with. Just not as durable as a would have thought. Almost seems like it could use a hardener or something. 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    2 coats of raptor bed liner Bluesea 150 safety hub came in the other day. Will be wiring this in soon. These are NOT easy to find, wow. 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    The rust encapsulator is nice. Very durable once cured. Not a fan of the chassis paint so far. 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    Not a ton done over the weekend. Added 4 gallons anti freeze (need about 2 more). Got the brakes bled. Will have to check them again once it's moving. Had to fix a couple of leaks (figured there'd be more [emoji1787]). Worked on getting grounds sorted out. And started patching the inner fenders...

    Not much done today. Got the wiring attached to the fire wall, parking brake assembly mounted back in the cab, master cylinder/brake booster mounted and fabbed up some upper rad supports. 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    Brakes

    I may put 5k on my summer setup and less than 5k on my winter set. So tires get rotated when I swap sets. Didn't notice anything odd this past fall when I swapped. I replaced the rear rotors and pads. Brakes wasn't something I was planning on anytime soon. 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990...

    Got the driver's door adjusted, and passenger door mounted and just about adjusted right. Needs a little more tweaking. Tossed the passenger fender and core support on to check on fitment for the rad 2018 2500 6.4L Hemi Tradesman 1990 5.9L 12v Cummins W250

    Got the driver's door mounted. Fitment so far not bad but not good. Bottom cab corner side needs to rotate down and quarter panel side needs to come up. I did swap out the hinges from the parts truck since they were in better condition. So looks like they need some adjustments New oil and...
