    Lower Dash Source?

    So I’ve got to know, how does the build quality look? How well does the color match the factory parts? And how long did it take to receive it after ordering? I’m excited to see one that has shipped. I was kind of hesitant to spend the money before seeing that they actually had made it to...

    Alignment cams for more caster

    Hi Guys, Ever since doing my small 2” leveling lift, I have been trying to dial in the alignment just right. To make a long story short, I have already used a combination of Moog adjustable upper ball joints, and have managed to get it pretty close. The only issue I have is that I’d really like...

    Massive Oil Leak

    If you haven’t already, just clean the thing up thoroughly and then watch where it comes from. No sense speculating. Just be done with it.

    Lower Dash Source?

    Thanks. I got turned on to that last year. Was just waiting for them to start production. I guess I’m just going to have to cough up the $1250 and pray it works out since I have no intentions of ever selling my truck.

    glove box door

    Yes epoxy can be used. I have used JB Plastic Weld epoxy on other internal parts of my dash. I still would not likely use the glove box very much after that repair though. Even if my repair was solid, all the plastic right next to it will still be brittle. Also the parts that broke off are long...

    ball joints difficult to remove, need help

    Definitely do the passenger side if you can. Brake, steering, and suspension jobs should always be done in pairs across the axle so you know everything is wearing at the same rate.

    Starts & Dies

    Actually, I just watched your video. I see that you are getting what looks like a red check engine light right before it dies. I also noticed that the oil pressure gauge never goes up when the engine is running. I would check the connections at your oil pressure sensor, inspect and wiggle test...

    Starts & Dies

    The fact that it dies suddenly and then will fire up again after a similar amount of time makes me lean toward a relay or an auto cycling breaker. Just my gut feeling by your description. Sometimes when they are bad, they will pass voltage through them until they get hot, then lose connection...

    Crankcase vent to intake

    I suppose anything is possible, but for a diesel to run away you have to have a pretty steady source of unregulated fuel supply. That is usually an oil leak within the turbo. So long as there is still a baffle inside the valve cover, I don’t see it just steadily pumping oil out at a rate strong...

    Onlu have head lights and rear running light?

    So did the lights stop working the moment you hooked up the trailer? If so, do they work when the trailer is disconnected?

    2022 RAM 1500 Bighorn Transmission Issues

    You’re on the wrong forum. This area is for 1994-2002 Rams. You’ll do a lot better if you make this post in the area for 2022s.

    glove box door

    It’s the same problem on all years of the 2nd Gen. My 2001 has two of the hinges broken now. Unfortunately broken on the under dash part as well; not just the box itself. I probably open it once or twice a year and hardly keep anything in it anymore. It’s just the crappy plastic that all Dodges...

    Ripped Seat - Just DO It!

    The foam from Geno’s is definitely superior to the factory stuff. Worth the money. As for the passenger side cover fitting, it probably would fit, but you will have to cut a hole in it for the seat adjustment lever, and it will have vinyl facing out instead of the fabric. If you’re just trying...

    Ripped Seat - Just DO It!

    Yes, I’ve bought a lot of stuff from Geno’s, including my seat foam. They do have good stuff. When I went to get the seat cover, it said they were out of stock. Also, they were pretty proud of them. Think it was $245 for just the bottom cover. I know you get what you pay for, but thought I’d do...

    Ripped Seat - Just DO It!

    Who did you buy your new cover from? How was the fit? And how was the color match of the material?

    Ripped Seat - Just DO It!

    I did mine a couple years ago, too. Just didn’t use the gorilla tape underneath. The repair has lasted, but all of the areas around it started to rip apart recently and I had to accept defeat. Probably would’ve lasted longer if I lined the whole underside with gorilla tape, but it’s too far gone...

    2016 Ram 1500 4x4 Big Horn 3.6L Flex fuel TiPM connector?

    You posted this on the 2nd Gen section of the forum (1994-2002). You’d probably have much better luck with responses if you posted in the area for 2016 trucks.

    I’d sure like to see a better picture of that fleet

    Help please

    If unplugging it and plugging back in helped the situation, then there’s a good chance the issue could be at or near the plug that you were handling. Check for any moisture or corrosion inside that plug. Check all of the female terminals and see if any of them look looser than the rest. If it...

    Truck died after idling now won’t start

    Throwing guesses at the wall does you no good. If you are working with rudimentary tools, this is the way I have looked for the problem on the side of the road with no fancy tools… The first thing to do is check if you have spark. You can do that with an insulated handle screwdriver (look on...

    I came across a once in a lifetime truck...

    Also, if you buy it, definitely put a sun shade up in the windshield every time you park anywhere outdoors at all. To have a mint condition dash on one of these is a rare thing… And yes, pictures, or else you’re full of BS.

    I came across a once in a lifetime truck...

    You’ll never find another one like that. I’d buy it and do my best to not put a load of miles on it (as difficult as that may be to resist). Also keep it in a garage or at least covered.

    Should I trade?

    I think I paid about $1500 for my last one. I had them beef it up a little, added a shift kit, and added an external trans cooler. I don’t remember the exact price because I had other things done at the same time and don’t remember the break down. I would just add an external cooler, stay on...

    Convert Fan Clutch to Electric Fan

    I couldn’t tell you the parts needed to make it work, but the early to mid 90s Lincoln and Taurus fans are badass. I bought one from a junkyard for $30 and put it in my hotrod. More CFM than just about anything in the aftermarket.

    Should I trade?

    I’ve consistently gotten 80k miles on my 46re before it has issues. Each time it has an issue, I have it fully rebuilt (my choice). That said, I used to have 3.55 gears on it while running 33” tall tires. That was putting extra strain on the transmission. I also was not good about servicing the...
