Dodge dude your dash is COMPLETELY different than mine was there a dash makeover somewhere in the 98 model year? My fog light switch is on the same plate as my passenger airbag turn off is up in the top right.
Yes. 98 was the crossover period

Went ahead and ordered the 37t speedo gear. All I need is ma locker. :D :D :D

Pretty excited to feel the difference when they're in. Probably won't be done and installed till mid-end April though.

Hope it fixes this tranny slipping problem I have randomly when I smash the gas..

Yeah I just looked back that's not his truck, Bartow is right. But that is the old style dash that changed in 98. I just didn't pay attention to the thread or what year you have Arlucian. Assumed he posted a pic of his dash and you had the old style.

98 was the change over year. New dash, seats, door panels, t-case shift pattern and lever. Headliner was mostly the same, except for Quad Cab.

Just got an email saying my 4.88 rears may be back ordered. :(

Everything else was shipped. I called the company 5 minutes ago and talked to the same guy and he said they should ship out Friday. But the email says they are out of stock and won't be in till 1-4 months. So I guess I'll wait till next monday and see.

If I have to wait that long, I'm just gonna say f*ck it and go with 4.56s. I still need thick cut in front regardless of what I choose right?

Like you can feel a bump at idle in the seat and watch your idle go up and down on the tach.

I emailed that guy last night. It seems to not have a part number or a brand so I'm not 100% sure on it. What would you do? I just don't want something happening down the road since this is a big investment for me.

I'm calling 4wheelparts first because they have a G2 set for the 9.25 that says "discontinued" but I can add it to my cart. So if they have it in stock, I'll be ordering it.

Well i made call this morning. The problem i had with my led headlights going out on the driverside had continued since i first brought it up. If thought I'd fixed it by tightening the power cord but it had berm doing it since just not as bad as the first time. It'll go out or get really dim but then if i snack tne fender with my palm, hit a bump or jiggle the wires it comes back on. Well called sbl this morning and they are sending me an entire new kit to replace it and I'll send my old kit back. Good customer service from them

Personally i would go with the 5ks just because of the fact that the led bulbs are 6200k and 5k will cut through weather better
