    Well that was quick...

    I get the lamp out light/chime and the turn signal on that side doesnt work. Everything else seems to work ok. I will try the cleaner stuff that was suggested below because it soesnt always tell me the lamp is out, just most of the time.

    Lamp Out light

    Walked into O'Reilly's and had this conversation: Counter Guy: What can I do for you? Me: I need a taillight circuit board for my truck. Him: You have a dodge? Me: Yeah (somewhat surprised) Him: You aren't the first guy with a dodge to have this problem. I'll get the part tomorrow and...

    Lamp Out light

    Cool. Thank you. I've been considering replacing the taillights and especially the headlights...they work fine but very yellow no matter how much clean them.

    Lamp Out light

    Recently, the lamp out light came on. It would come on and go off over and over.(with the associated chime...which made me crazy) I checked all the lights and they are all working, the issues seems to be the rear passenger side turn signal...which doesnt work. Any suggestions on what to check...

    Using a Power inverter

    Great. Thanks. Any issues with plugging a small extension cord into them? I'm not sure I'll need it, but thought I might to get a cord all the way to the back seat.

    Using a Power inverter

    I'm preparing to go on a trip that will be around 2,000 miles round trip. We will have a few little gadgets (2 phones, small tablet, Nintendo 3DS and maybe a little portable DVD/TV combo) and I'm trying to decide how I keep them all charged and going. The truck has a cigarette lighter than I...

    What type of tires?

    I think I'm going to need to replace my tires in the near future and was curious what type of tires you guys use? The tires on the truck now are Uniroyal P265/70R17. It's two wheel drive and has a long wheel base (4 doors and a long bed) so I'm not off roading. Basically just driving it...

    Battery is old...

    So, I've got an 02 and was looking under the hood and noticed that that battery (Mopar brand) has a sticker on it that says when to replace it and mine says "December 07." I've had the truck for two years and have never had a problem with it starting. Any thoughts on whether I should go...

    Sound deadening and insulation

    Thanks for the responses. Have either of you guys put anything on the floor? I looked at the second skin Heat Wave Pro and it is 3/8 of an inch thick which seems like it might change the way the floor covering fits.

    Sound deadening and insulation

    Have you guys done this with the interior of your trucks? I've got an 02 Ram 1500 Quad Cab and it can get tough to get it cool in the summer time. I read an article on jalopnik (How To Turn Your Basic Truck Into A Sweet Luxury Car With A Few Mods) about a guy that used some reflectix and a...

    Remove recirc door

    I've got a 2002 1500 and, as I'm driving (usually on longer trips, not around town), I'll get a really weak flow of air from the vents. Can hear the fan blowing and can feel cold air, but just barely. What's odd is that it doesn't do it all the time, just sometimes. Today, for instance, I was...

    Paint coming off hood

    Cool thanks. I saw some touch up paint that is supposed to be a match on Amazon too. I may grab some of that and give it a shot.

    Paint coming off hood

    Ok, thanks very much. Any particular sand paper (or other sanding substance) that is recommended?

    Paint coming off hood

    So, the paint on the hood of my truck has started chipping away. I took it to a respected local place and they quoted me between $750 and $1,000 (depending on if I want them to blend the paint with the fenders). I don't think that's an unreasonable quote, but I don't have that kind of cash to...

    Question about lights

    I've got an 2002 model that has 4 doors and a long bed. The bed has a camper shell over it. I've been kicking around putting LEDs up around the top portion of the shell (on the inside) because we do some camping and it always seems like I'm trying to fish something out of the back in the...

    Motor Oil

    I have recently come to that conclusion. I like the idea of knowing how to do a lot of the work myself.

    Motor Oil

    Thanks very much. I picked up Penzoil synthetic high mileage oil. It's been many years since I did this myself and there were a lot more choices than I remember...haha.

    Motor Oil

    Quick question for you guys about the oil you use. I've got a 2002 1500 with the 4.7L engine. I've been taking it somewhere to get the oil changed, but have decided to start doing it myself. I'm looking at the manual and it looks like I should be using 5W-30, but I'm not entirely sure how to...

    Fuel gauge weird issue

    I have a similar issue with my 2002. I will fill it up and take off down the road. Some point, at random, it drops all the way down to empty and I get the chime. Most of the time, it immediately goes back to showing a full tank, but sometimes it sits like that for a few minutes. Very...
