For a little background, about 8 years ago I bought a 2wd 1996 Ram 3500 dually with a 12 valve Cummins, a 47re, and geared at 3.54, at about 180k miles. At 261k miles I...

    46re torque converter locking and unlocking. Also no overdrive?

    Well Ive got a 1998 Ram 1500 5.2 2wd 46RE. For the past month, the truck has had a weird shifting issue. On point and at exactly every time, when the truck reaches the 3-4 upshift mark, the rpms jump about 400 or so rpm for a second or 2. If im going uphill, that will sometimes stay like that...

    All Wheelbase/Model Frame Dimensions?

    I'm really trying to find frame dimensions for all of the different wheelbases/models of these 2nd gens. In early catalogues it talks about the half tons having shorter frame rails than the hd's, but I'm pretty sure the later quad cabs had identical frames( - suspension hangers) to 3/4 tons. My...

    Fuel Vent Hose Size?

    Hello. I’ve got a 1998 Ram 1500 5.2L. My gas vent hose (the smaller line coming off the filler neck) has a hole in it. Would anyone happen to know the size of this hose, like the inside diameter?

    Why does this fuel pump assembly look like this?

    You will notice that the spot for the rollover valve is sealed off. I do not yet have the old assembly accessible to see if there is a rollover valve on the old assembly, but is this normal?
