Will the 17" wheels & tires from the newer 2500's physically fit and work
ok on a '97 2500?

Diesel automatics from '01 and up on are getting a software upgrade to
install an alarm to avoid reverse runaways... seems like all these guys that

Someone in here owes a bunch of them an apology... Think ...

What do I buy now?
After 390,000 kilometers I'm putting to rest my 1989 D50 RAM.
I bought it brand new in 1989 for $12,000 Canadian incl taxes.  That was the
best money I ever spent.

I have spent several days up in the boonys after fixing the 86ish ram
problem (progressively corroding connection between egr solenoid and egr)
I am now going to get the other 86 /6 ram going (but the carb is in the
evil ram and they aren't good carbs anyway)

  Hi, I'm new to the group but just sifted through about 12k
messages. My 2002 Dodge Dakota (3.9 V-6, 5-spd, 2WD, Club Cab) was my

next year and currently has about 95,000 miles on the odometer. It's

While doing the brakes on a 2001 Dakota 4x4 I found that one of the

The concept vehicle, that is, from Jeep
Has it got a Hemi? Yep and a spare one in the back (or front). Something

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, V8 5.2L. When I press the cruise
control switch, I see
a green "Cruise" light on the cluster. But the cruise doesnt work.

The "heads" on my '99 Ram 1500 V6 are blown and would cost $1200 to
rebuild the engine. But my dad wants to buy the part online so he can
hire someone cheaper to do it. So where can I find the "heads" for my
truck? He says the gaskets are OK, just the heads are blown. He wasn't

How do you set the clock on a 1997 Dakota?

The Haynes manual says its 30 Ft-Lbs and it looks a bit on the higher
side to me. Can anybody who has done the job before confirm it.
Also, I am assuming 30 Ft-Lbs is without applying some anti-seize.

i finally got my durango to run but now the front brake pads are worn, i got the wheel out but i dont know what tool to use to take off the caliper slider pins(mounting bolts). some people say allen wrench, some people say t45 bit. i don't have neither one of those things so ...

cummins nv4500 4wd, low milage.
No problems, Just wanted to drop in and say hello.

i'm thinking about buying a fully loaded 1999 dakota 4x4 with 81,000

Automatic, 5 speed, or 6 speed?
A dealer offered me a 2500 extra cab with long bed and the Banks Power after
