I installed a set of Hedman Headers on my 86 5.9L. Problem is that
there is practically no clearance between the 90 degree corner edge of
the front of the starter and one of the header pipes. I could probably
squeeze a 1/32 in shield in there, but that wouldn't do good for long,

Here it is, 2007!  Well, where I am anyway...
Hope all of you have (or had) a Happy, Safe New Years Eve.
And may all the hangovers be light :)

Does any one have idea what this stuff is. According to the dealership
they claim this is normal and it is only this year and type of engine that
does this. I have never seen this kind of  crap on and in the oil fill pipe.
It's yellow and it has the consistency of yogurt or sour ...

Got a Dodge MegaCab with built in GPS display. Has video in back for
passengers, was wondering if anyone knows a way to get video on the
GPS display in front. I know the Garmin street pilot plays video and

Does anyone have measurements/dimensions for the nerf bar mounting
points on a '96 RAM Club Cab? I have looked at several newer model RAMs
('03+) and they mount to the backside of the rocker panels. Are these

A month or so ago I noticed a repetitive "clunk-clunk-clunk" coming
from my front end when I engage 4-wheeldrive.  The frequency of the
clunk is directly proportionate to my speed, but only occurs when under
load.  Decelerating, coasting, or rolling in neutral does not produce

I recently purchased a Ram 1500.  I was told before I purchased it,
that a new ECM and battery had to be replaced and were done at the
local Dodge dealership.

with some useful aftermarket stuff (airbag rear assist springs, pre/post
oiler, multi type bed mount hitch, 105 gal. in bed fuel tank)  with 120K
miles for sale.  I remember hearing some bad stories ...

A friend asked me a question yesterday and I'm not sure of the
answer. So I wanted to ask the experts. <g> He has a 98 Dodge Dakota
2.5l auto trans. He asked me if the truck has a timing chain or belt. It
has 121K and if it has a belt he wants to change it before it breaks.

I have a 01 Dakota 4.7L auto trans. Hard as ever to start cold. sometimes
hard to start even warm. I have to crank it 3 or 4 times as a norm, unless I
shut it off and start it within a couple minutes.  There are no codes
showing. I have already changed the Idle Air Control ...

including dash indicators. Went from everything working to nothing
working. All other electric fubctions ok. Fuse? Relay?
