    Fuel pump

    Hello. I’ve got a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 v10. I was on the way home from a delivery and my truck died. No fuel pressure so I swapped fuel pump relay and horn, nothing. No phone signal unfortunately so I flagged down a buddy and he gave me a ride home. Store nearby had a pump so in through it in and...

    Smog pump

    I have a 2001 ram 2500 v10 and wanted to get rid of the smog pump. It doesn’t appear there are any aftermarket pulleys available and was wondering if anyone has flipped the tensioner and ran a shorter belt.

    Electric brake trailer pin has constant power

    I bought my 01 2500 used and it has a 6 pin plug wired in. I put a brake controller in and switched to a 7. If I remember right all the wiring colors were correct, but I double checked everything before hooking it up anyway.

    '97 2500 4x4 V-10

    I bought mine about a year I a half ago. 2001 4x4 v10 47re. Has 93k miles on it, 109k now. I really like it, gas mileage for me is steadily 10-11mpg. Figure at some point I’ll have some issue with the trans and cad, none yet though.

    Abs/brake light

    I was pulling a truck out of the mud yesterday. Afterwords by abs/brake light was on. I don’t have a scanner that tests abs. I went and did a quick check for connectors and everything looked fine except for the front driver wheel. The wire was out of the holder, but didn’t look like it had been...

    Project "Cedar" 95 V10 4x4

    Looks great. I was thinking of applying a liner to my bumper, did it stick well to the chrome?

    Front Axle

    Thanks. It’s not high on the priority list of things I need to do, but I’d like to at some point. The light was another thing I was curious about.

    Front Axle

    Devil what did you do to permanently lock? I don’t really see much of a point of having cad.

    Front Axle

    Is it the original axle? I thought they were cad for all gen 2.

    V10 thermostat housing discontinued??! Where do you guys find one?

    96 2500 V10 won’t crank

    Just replaced the starter on my 01 v10. Probably didn’t need to, I think I just needed to replace the battery. I had to job to get to though and didn’t want to mess around so just replaced both.

    Windshield wipers

    Hello. I was driving home and had my windshield wipers on high and they stopped all the way on top. It sounds like the motor is still trying to do something, but they are stuck there. When I stopped I was able to push them down a few inches and they reset to the down position. When I turn...

    How to (reversibly) disable the truck?

    If you wanted to do a kill switch I’d just run it off your ignition wire to starter relay. It’s very open in the engine compartment, easy to run wiring wherever you want it.

    2nd get tire sizes

    I was going to go back to stock size because I use it for work and I list my odometer readings. Didn’t want them being about 15% off. After doing some testing computer has already been set for these size.

    About to buy my first pickup

    Outside of transmission the steering box sucks. Read head steering makes a good aftermarket one.

    Where to buy 2nd gen's?

    I would have preferred a manual as well. I wasn’t as patient, the longer I looked I was willing to bend.
