    warranty denied

    I'm a little confused and not making any accusations. At first it sounded like you noticed an issue, pulled over immediately, then after a certain amount of time drove it home less than 1 mile away. Then you had it towed to a dealer. But then you claim you have proof that within an hour of...

    Potential 3rd gen Cummins purchase

    So I have a new question. I drove the 04 with the 6 speed. I am not a fan of the shift pattern. I had trouble finding 5th and 6th. Accidentally hit reverse area and grinded it. 6th was kind of hard to find. I don't think it was the transmission, it was just unusal for me as I've only ever driven...

    Potential 3rd gen Cummins purchase

    You can do the cap test on these right? Where you take the oil cap off and if it lifts the blowby is excessive? And I'm not too worried if it needs some front end work. I'm mainly worried about transmission, engine, rear end and injection pump. Which brings up another question, what injection...

    Potential 3rd gen Cummins purchase

    I am not currently a Dodge owner but I have owned 4 Dodge trucks before (I Dakota and 3 2nd gen Rams, one with a 24 valve Cummins). So I am no stranger to dodge. I am however, a stranger to the 3rd gen. Just looking for suggestions and things to check as I start my journey of looking. I will...

    Looking at a 2001 1500

    That is especially good news about the stock ride height. Generally, when dealing with lifted trucks, you get all kinds of front end issues. I had to replace the ball joints and tie rods as well as track bar on mine already. I have to replace the struts as well, which I have, I just haven't...

    Looking at a 2001 1500

    I don't know what people's opinions are on this forum about Moog products, but over on another forum I am on for camaros, they dislike Moog. I haven't had a single issue with any of their parts yet. Supposedly it was a few years ago their quality all of a sudden took a huge hit. I'm thinking...

    What Else is In Your Garage

    My 1988 Base model camaro. 305 TBI V8 5 speed manual. Not really any mods you can do with this engine/fuel/intake setup, so I will spare the details of what I have done because they are more cosmetic than anything. Sunk probbaly $7,000 into this and it still needs work. I was trying to sell it...

    Paint setups and suggestions

    I wish it was an Iroc, but it is just a base model 88 305 TBI with a 5 speed manual. I had a bunch of plans for it, and then abondoned them, and decided to sell it. I had it listed for as low as $3,000 with no bites. I can't believe nobody wanted it for $3,000 with what is into it. I was...

    Paint setups and suggestions

    I am kind of worried there will be too much fumes from painting in my garage, and they would find their way into my house. They did at my buddies house, but I don't know if the vents were open or why they found their way in. I am even more worried a neighbor freaks out and calls the cops. Even...

    Need help identifying 2 holes on front of engine block

    Exactly where on the front of the block? We can literally throw all kinds of guesses at you but until we see pictures, it's going to be tough.

    Paint setups and suggestions

    What I am looking for is ideas on paint booths or something of the equivalent. I don't plan on painting the ram I have now, but the next one I buy I imagine I will at some point. I also am going to repaint my 88 camaro after I do an LS swap in the next year or 2. I am going to potentially be...

    Heating issue 2001 Ram 1500 V6

    hahaha. Kind of a sidebar, but I have owned 3 2nd gen rams, all three have had the heater core go bad, 2 were gassers one diesel. Never replaced them on either. I have replaced the water pump on my current one. It tool me maybe a combined total of 3 hours to do it. I hear all day long for a...

    Mega Dodge "Liberty"!!!

    I don't know if city events, like a chili cook off (I don't know if that is even a huge thing anymore, at least here in Phoenix or places I have lived like virginia or california), would pay you to have this draw attention to their event. Used car dealer lots would probably be the only car...

    Will Not Start after Manitanance

    I had an 01 24 valve a few years ago and I had a FASS system on it. I changed the fuel filter and water separator on it and then afterwards, got in the truck and cranked it over like an idiot. It took me days to bleed the air out to get it to start. I remember reading on several different sites...

    Airbag light on. No Codes

    My horn still works and my cruise would probably work if I replaced the broken vacuum line I found this weekend, but my airbag light is also on. It was on when I bought the truck. I am assuming it is the clockspring piece located on the steering wheel. I don't know much about it, so I don't know...

    whats everyone pulling for gas mileage with gasoline engines??

    1997 1500 5.2 auto stock 3.55 gears 4x4 5.5" fabtech long arm lift and 315/75/16's and I almost got 14 mpg for best tank. I average between 11 and 12 mpg which is astonishing considering how high the truck is and how big the tires are. If it wasn't lifted, I bet I could get at least 14-15...

    98 Ram wont start

    I believe that is what I ended up finding it named as. I was like 17 I think when this happened. I just remember not being able to find one anywhere. So I called the dealership and they said that there wasn't one, and that there wasn't another name for it in it's place.

    98 Ram wont start

    I had a 97 half ton 5.9 in high school that somehow got water in the distributor cap when I pressure washed the engine bay, despite me doing it tons of times, and I couldn't get it to start. So i left it at the car wash over night and came back and it started right up the next day. I also had...

    Vibration and pull issues on a lifted 97

    Truck background: 1997 ext cab 1500 5.2 auto 4x4 fabtech 5.5" long arm lift 315/75/16 tires. The issue I am having is a vibration when driving. I don't get any grinding noise or other odd noises when driving. It seems to be noticeable starting at about 40 MPH, and it is significantly worse when...

    Cummins issue, thinking about buying.

    My first thought was the head gaskets. Pretty much every time you get water mixing with oil, you have coolant somehow leaking into an oil passage, which is obviously not good. AS Dudeman mentioned, the oil cooler leaking could end up mixing the 2 on this. A friend of mine had a 98 Yukon that had...

    new to cummins need assistance

    There is literally so many things you can do to modify a truck, that it would be impossible to tell you over the internet, or in person. However, you posted up pictures of the truck, sideviews, front and rear views, interior, under the hood, under the truck, we can probably help you out somewhat...

    '97 1500 3.9 - 5.2 Swap

    I have been a part of a few engine swaps or pulls and building and dropping back in. One was a 91 camaro, and one was a 96 Bronco. Both my buddies. His camaro was just pulling the engine and changing out heads, cam, oil pan and pump, and the gaskets and motor mounts. This was about a month long...

    Mega Dodge "Liberty"!!!

    I don't know anything about this subject. I could only offer my opinion, and that is that I don't think most places would be interested in this truck. And it isn't necessarily because of the cosmetic work you have done, but more because it is an older model truck. It isn't considered a classic...

    Ram 2500 Diesel t-boned

    That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are alright. I remember having the same truck 01 24 valve 4x4 and it was the best truck I ever owned. I bought it after my first deployment and the first week I went back to work after coming off leave, some idiot backed into the bed and put a...
