    Recirculation Door Not Installed on '03 Ram?

    After charging my AC unit, the fan doesn't seem to push air over as far as the vent left of the steering wheel. Is it these blend doors you are discussing or something easy like a dead mouse?

    Front Axles clunking

    I just replaced my inner and outher tie rod ends on the left side and the outer only on the right. I had excessive movement in the wheels that I decided to make the replacements but in doing so I had hoped it would take away the clunking noise as I ride on gravel surfaces, It did not. I got...

    Highway Hauler

    I have a 2002 1500 4X4 with 275 tires and a new tranny as well as a 360 Cu In with only 290,000 miles. I got broke down and found a great tranny shop, Aspen Transmissions in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. All that aside I would like to mount a slide-in Over the cab camper. How heavy can I go without...

    Weight

    I currently own a 26' Keystone Travel trailer with load leveller but don't always want that much comfort so I would like to purchase a slide in pickup camper so I can leave the trailer at home. My question is how big of a camper can I go weight wise? I would like a camper with the over the cab...

    Overdrive on or off when pulling weight?

    I had a friend who used to play with SouthSide Johnny and the Asbury Jukes in the 70's.

    Overdrive on or off when pulling weight?

    When you are hauling a trailer with an automatic, is it a good idea to manually shift through the gears? I have hauled the big U-Haul with my 02 5.9 4x4 to Denver I-70 West Bound across Kansas twice now and was able to keep the OD engaged, but that was household furniture, not what I would call...

    AC AND HEAT

    Neither the heat nor the AC blow very well. I have pulled the fan motor out several times and tried blowing the system out not knowing how successful I was. If I put it on FULL BLAST, just a slight flow comes out of the vent left of the steering wheel. Once there was a packrat nesting in the...

    Mileage on your 3rd Gen.?

    My 2002 1500 Quadcab 4x4 with 5.9 gas motor has 290,000 miles on her. I had transmission rebuilt at 150,000. I bought this in the fall of 2002. It had 20,000 on it. I am the second owner. I wish the AC would work half decent but it has always been a dog. I will begin towing a 26 foot Keystone...

    5.9 or diesel or other; half ton or 3/4 ton

    I guess I can continue using the 1500 QC tills it "Rides the Bus". I am in the mountains now and just wonder what it would be like to suffer a breakdown in the mountains on I-70. I think it would suck big time. I guess that could happen with any machine. Fear of the unknown. I plan on using the...

    5.9 or diesel or other; half ton or 3/4 ton

    I agree with your last statement, but will a private seller allow me to run away with his truck for an evaluation? Truth be known I had thought about a PowerStroke 3500 also. But yes, a 3500 is my true passion weight class.

    5.9 or diesel or other; half ton or 3/4 ton

    Since my past 2 employers have given me a f150 to drive, my truck gets very little usage since 2015. I think 5,000 may be too much.

    5.9 or diesel or other; half ton or 3/4 ton

    Thank you for your reply. I have pulled the trailer only a couple hundred miles. We have the load leveller and sway bar. It really makes a difference pulling with or without. We plan on keeping present truck since we know all its had done but just not sure about its continued capabilities...

    5.9 or diesel or other; half ton or 3/4 ton

    I currently own a 2002 1/2 ton 4x4 with the 5.9 motor which has 288,000 miles on it having used it as my company truck for 12 years and it has been pretty darn dependable. We have made several runs from Oklahoma to NJ or Denver with only a pinion seal repair in Denver. I rebuilt the transmission...

    fluttering... but not a diesel

    I am second owner ( purchsed at 20,000 miles ) of a 2002 1500 3rd generation with 5.9 gas motor with 280,000 miles. I have been hearing a fluttering sound at different speeds in or out of cruise but always in high gear. I can continue down the road and it will go away on its own after about a...

    LED'S

    I've been scanning the You Tube channel and was wanting to put LED replacement lights on Greener. The incandescents are ok but there appears to be a significant "enlightment" with the LED's at night. Which brands has anyone had good value with?

    2005, 3500 Big Tow Mirrors

    I'm planning on making the same swap to the tow mirrors myself as soon as winter goes AWAY. I found another vendor on Ebay that sells the pair for $89 but does not have the side turn signal lights nor the light in the mirror.

    So if I was looking for a FSM for a 2002 (09-01) Ram 1500 4x4 with 5.9 gas power plant, where should I look? Would the 2003 work?

    I have been using my 2002 Ram 1500 5.9 Fer by Fer quad cab SWB for my Land Surveying business for 13 years. Light duty, just lots of miles. She has been mostly been put out to pasture for the last 3 years until last week when she got the duty of pulling a travel trailer. My question is, my...
