    HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AC VENTS??

    Just want to throw this out there for anyone with a 94-98 having problems with the check valve for their A/C vents. For those who aren't aware there is a check valve on the vacuum lines under the hood which leads into the cab to control the ac vents. This valve failing is a very common issue...

    Anyone made a custom floor console??

    I have a B&M Light Truck Megashifter I am going to be installing soon and it sits a little too low to be useful in a 2nd gen. I can make risers for it pretty easily, but I will need some sort of console to tie it all together since the trim kit just won't be tall enough. I have a couple of ideas...

    Another question about 3rd gen 20's

    I know this has been covered a thousand times, but I can't seem to get a solid answer to my question from a search. So I apologize in advance if there is a thread I missed. So I got a set of chrome clad 20's from an 08 Big Horn for a steal at the junk yard a few days ago. I know I need to have...

    Fiberglass Hood??

    Has anyone here used a fiberglass hood on their 2nd gen? I'm typically skeptical of using them without hood pins but I really want a Challenger style hood for my truck. I don't want to use hood pins because they will sit too far back and inward on the hood and look silly. I'm also wondering how...

    steering column play - not the lower bushing

    So I've been battling steering play in my truck since day one. I started with a complete front end rebuild including the box and the rock solid bushing. That gave me back most of the steering feel I was missing but it's never been 100%. I had that rock solid bushing out 3 or 4 times sanding and...

    Question about quad cab seat belts

    So I have a set of leather quad cab seats and console I am going to be swapping into my 94 standard cab soon. Mounting them is no problem, just going to cut and weld the brackets to the right length. Problem is I am too fat for the integrated seat belts lol. Does anyone know if it's ok to just...

    I have no overdrive or tcc lockup - 94 46RH

    So recently I attempted to install a jet chip. I waited for a long while before pulling the trigger but I realized it was my only option for "tuning" so I went for it. Big mistake! After installing it, the PCM fuse blew causing the truck not to start. I found no bent pins, corrosion, etc. I...

    cruise control switch broken on '94

    So the cruise control switch on my '94 broke recently. I checked my local salvage yard for weeks and finally found one but unfortunately the buttons broke off when I tried to clean it. My question is does anyone know if the 96-97 3-button switch will work in place of the 94-95 4-button switch...

    What shocks to use?

    The truck is currently lowered 2/4 with coil springs and shackles with Nitro Drop 2's all around. They ride like absolute crap. What shocks are you guys running and what has your experience been?

    94 1500 5.2 stumbling idle, dumping fuel

    Ok, so a bit of a backstory here... The truck was down for almost a year with a busted rear diff that I couldn't make my mind up on and couldn't really afford to fix. Finally got it rebuilt about 3 months ago and got it back on the road. To my surprise it didn't really have any hiccups at...

    Adjustable seat belt retrofit?

    So I have been searching for about an hour now and can't find any info on this topic. Hopefully someone can shed some light on it for me. For starters, I am a pretty big guy, I always have problems with seat belts choking me and being extremely uncomfortable.....unless they are adjustable. My...

    Braided brake hoses for a 2wd??

    I have been searching online for hours now trying to find a set of steel braided brake hoses for a 2wd 2nd gen Ram. I found the Russell hoses for the 4wd but nothing for a 2wd. Will the 4wd hoses work? Is there another option out there I am missing?

    Oil pressure drops at redline

    So I'm scratching my head here. My truck is a 94 5.2 automatic 2wd. At idle and cruising oil pressure seems fine. Gauge reads around 40. At wot close to redline the oil pressure on the gauge drops to 0. My thought was pump or a clogged pick-up tube so I bought both. Just got done with the...

    Can't get rid of belt noise!!!!

    So my truck is a '94 1500 318 with a little over 300k and for the past 2 or so years I have been going through everything trying to get all of the little high mileage 24 year old truck problems worked out before the real restoration/build starts. Lately the big problem is I can't seem to get rid...

    Need a new steering column

    Anyone know where I can get a remanufactured steering column for a '94 1500 2wd? I am getting sick of this "rock solid" bushing. It's rock solid alright; so rock solid that it keeps locking up and pulling my truck out of gear! I have had the column out multiple times sanding and lubing that...

    Already lowered 2/4, want to go 4/6 need help

    So a few months back I installed the DJM 2" coils and 4" hanger and shackle kit with a set of Nitro Drop 2's. I figured I would start there and I can always go lower if I want to. Well now I want to go lower lol. It's a big improvement over stock but it needs another couple inches. It also kinda...

    Alternator charging at 15+ volts

    Lately my alternator began charging at 15+ volts. I replaced the alternator, checked all the wiring, checked every ground under the hood and everything seems fine but it still overcharges. Reading 15.2 without a load and 15.8 to 16 with a load but never goes any higher. It may be coincidence but...

    OBD1 oxygen sensor need to read both banks?

    I am going to run a custom exhaust on old Clyde soon and plan to cut the dual in-single out cat off completely and run true duals into magnaflow mufflers and have hidden turn downs before the axle. My question is since my 94 only has one O2 sensor and it is in the "Y" of the cat inlet, can I...

    New 1500 2wd steering box?

    Does anyone know where I can find a NEW steering box for a 1500 2WD? All I can find is 2500-3500 4WD boxes. Upgrade over stock is fine and might actually be better in my case. I have had it with these remanufactured pieces of shit. I have put 3 boxes in my truck and all of them have had...

    1994 5.2--5.9 swap

    I'm sure this topic has been covered hundreds of times already but I have not been able to find a definitive list of what is needed on a pre-obd2 truck. I have a '94 1500 2WD with a 318 automatic that is burning oil and just plain needs to go. Since my long term goal with this truck is to turn...

    Need advice on building a 318

    I need some help and advice from some of you small block mopar veterans out there. The 318 in my truck is burning oil and it seems to be bad rings as far as I can tell. For the time being I am just going to use thicker oil and maybe test some additives but I am going to be piecing together the...

    Lares steering box?

    Anyone have any experience with the lares steering boxes? I put a Cardone reman on the truck a couple of weeks ago but still have a lot of play and wander so I thought I would try a different and supposedly better brand. I am not willing to spend $600 yet on a steering box for a 2wd truck that...

    9004 vs. 9007 headlight bulb wiring/issues

    I recently bought a set of ebay black housing, clear lens headlamps for my '94 to replace the horribly oxidized and nearly busted 22 year old factory headlights. Since the new lamps are of the same design as OEM just with clear lenses and black housing I assumed the swap would be pretty straight...

    New member in need of some advice:favorites13:

    First off a little intro and background. I recently acquired a 1994 1500 2WD 5.2 auto as a project. My brother bought the truck about 4-5 years ago just to have a truck if he ever needed one. Well last year he decided to go out and buy a 2014 Ram 2500 4WD Laramie Cummins and no longer needed...
