    Mine has a 3.21 in the back. I have to drop to 3 gear or have a good speed going into the hill to go higher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    I have done plenty of work on my truck myself. If you want to be an ******* be one somewhere else. Besides it is my money to spend how I wish. And it works like this: 5 hp from this and 15 from that and 2 from that and 3 from this other thing and 20 from that and throw on a tuner and before you...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    To me any gains are good. The power on this truck sucks balls. Even 20 to 30 more overall would be good. Spending several thousand to put a turbo or blower on is just about as possible for me to afford as a trip to the moon. The same goes for putting a cam in. I can’t do the kind of work myself...

    What about Fastman TB. Any decent air intakes that won’t make me lose all my low end power? I don’t race my truck and spend very little time in high rpms so I need to maintain low end power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    The CFM is easily measured. The bore doesn’t necessarily have to be bigger if it is machined properly to be more efficient. Bigger bore TBs report only tiny gains. Everyone I have have read that has put an MSD box on has said it made a huge difference. It isnt being done as a stand-alone...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    I will be doing various things over time. I have a cold air intake. I am getting a higher flow throttle body from Hughes engines. They machine a stock TB to flow 1007 CFM. Higher flow muffler and bigger exhaust tubing. At some point I will get some Gibson headers, a Hughes Air Intake, and a...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    Any recommendations on a good aftermarket coil? I will be putting an MSD system in and I want to put a good coil in while I am doing it. I have read that both the MSD and ACCEL are both junk and fail within a year. I was hoping for higher output from stock form factor but I might just have to...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    The starter quit on mine so I took that off and had it rebuilt. I am only a few weeks away from having my trutrac diff put in the rear end. I am seriously looking forward to that. Also going to have the AC fixed and have him figure out why my new belt is squealing. I have been waiting to the...

    I need a front a front driver seat belt buckle for my 1998 Ram 1500. Local salvage yards don’t have any and eBay doesn’t appear to have any and a mopar site I ordered from said they are back ordered nationwide and nobody can get one. So what the hell do I do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    In the last 2 months I have had to replace my heater core and the starter yesterday. The belt is squealing and since the belt is new and it has a lot of tension I am betting the alternator is going out. The water pump has been replaced in the last 8 years. Could be the AC compressor but my...

    When putting led bulbs in the blinkers on my 98 dodge, do I need a resistor to stop hyper flashing or is that even a problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is the bolt pattern on the rotor the same as well? My rotors need to be replaced so I thought about getting a performance caliper rotor and pad kit for the front for a 2500 and putting it on my 1500. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    I have a 1998 1500 sport 4wd. Will a caliper from a 2500 of the same year fit on it? When I replace the brakes next I will be getting much better pads and sloted rotors but I want the stopping power to be much better. Anything to get better stopping power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Clutch switch?

    I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 5 speed. I think the switch that allows the engine to crank when the clutch is pushed in is bad. Where would that be? I used to be able to start it in gear as long as the clutch was pushed in, but now I have to have it out of gear and play with the clutch and tranny...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    A local performance exhaust shop recommended getting a intake manifold from a stock 360 and putting that on my 318 as the ports would be much bigger. That guy that told me that used to race mopars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I finally found an intake manifold to directly replace the stock one with fuel rails and stock or better throttle body. Huge increase in power. http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?partid=24773 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    I am looking to put an intake manifold from a 360 on my 1998 1500 5.2 magnum. I am having trouble finding any online. As this truck uses a throttle body and not really carb or EFI what do I look for? I know I could check junk yards but I am hoping for brand new and maybe better performance. I...

    I have a '98 1500 sport 4x4. Does anyone know how or if I can put bigger front brake rotors on it? Looking for more stopping power as the stock brakes are anemic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear main seal leak

    I am thinking of replacing the rear main seal on my 5.2L. From what I have seen it doesn't look to hard. As anyone done this themselves? How long can I expect to be working on this as a first timer? There is always issues that come up with this sort of thing that make a person say "well geez if...

    Thermostats

    What is the thoughts on which thermostat temperatures to use. I know stock is 195 but there is everything from 160 to 195. Is there any advantage to lower temps? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quad cab rear door won't open

    It seems to have a few leaks. The worst of which seems to be from the bell housing. I will pop the trim off and take a look if I can see the cable or not. Hopefully it is something simple like that. I really appreciate the feedback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quad cab rear door won't open

    1998 Ram 1500 Quadcab Sport Manual Transmission Awhile back a seat belt got stuck in the door as it closed. In order to get it open I had to hold open the top latch and kick it open. I couldn't get to the bottom latch. Once I got it open I didn't realize that I busted something internally. Now...
