    1998 1500 transmission

    My trans decided to go out and I’m looking for a replacement, what are the differences between these and the Durango 5.9 transmissions? I have a 1998 ram 1500 5.2 chassis auto with a 5.9 swap. I’ve heard that there are differences depending on the years, is this true? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Trans just went?

    I think my transmission just went out on me. It doesn’t shift out of first gear and then it starts to slip. Am I crazy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Overheating problem

    I’ve got a 98 1500 which has had a 99 5.9 swapped in (still running in the 5.2 computer) that has just started overheating. I just did a water pump when I put the engine in less than 1500 miles ago. Pretty much whenever I drive I need to have the heater on full blast and the engine temp will...

    Engine build

    I've got a 98 ram with a 99 5.9 engine and I'd like to do a bit of a build, first heads (engine quest) then carb conversion and eventually a cam. I know for the carb conversion I need to get a different intake, would it be worth it to get the heads with the older LA bolt pattern for more...

    Cheap power

    Hi, I am looking for the cheapest way to get power out of a 360 magnum. I am in the midst of swapping it in my 98 ram 1500, it had a 318 in it originally, I'm sure you know the term "no replacement for displacement", anywho. I am already planning on installing a new muffler, maybe a cat delete...

    5.9 into a 5.2

    I've got a 98 ram 1500 Laramie SLT limited with an engine that isn't good. I'm wondering how easy it would be to swap in a 5.9 instead of the stock 5.2. The drivetrain is an automatic with OD and rear wheel drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
