Top 20 1998 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD Questions & Answers

Is headlamp connector a three wire connector? One should be voltage, hot all the time, use a digital multimeter to check for voltage. The others should be ground. Your dimmer and headlamp switch are on the ground circuit. One way to check ground would be to use a redundant ground jumper wire, If the lamp then works correctly, the problem is ground. Hopefully you can bypass switches to rule them in or out. If you bypass switch and lamp works correctly, then the switch is faulty. Just my opinion.

Usually a diagram under the hood

git started?! or go to the local junk-yard and git anther 1. is the question HOW TO DO THIS? or what? lol.

there should be no air in the cooling system and the system can be bled by using a pressurising equipment . Ensure that the thermostat is placed in the motor the right way with the body facing the hot water (head or block). Air defeats the purpose of having a pressurised cap and system.

don't know how many miles are on the car ,but I would change the spark plugs

Please visit this YouTube link for a detailed explanation on the location and how to replace the resistor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q2rM1pGw5k Thanks, Will

Put in new injector seals.Joe Don

YES IT COULD BE, BEST TO JACK VEHICLE UP AND SPIN WHEELS TO SEE IF THEY ARE BINDING.IF SO CHECK CALIPERS WHERE PADS FIT SEE IF SEIZED ON SLIDERS.ALSO CHECK FLUID LEVEL IF TO HIGH THE FLUID CAN NOT RETURN WHEN NOT PRESSED + SEE IF ITS BLACK FLUID NOT CLEAR, SIGNS OF CYLINDER FAILIURE

The windshield on a 98 ram 3500 is not a gasket install,the windshield is urethaned in. this is usually best left to the professionals.sorry see: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4989095

OK. MR. MORA. SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN SOLVE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU REPLACED THE MOTOR YOURSELF. WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO IS GO BACK TO BASICS, BOTH VISUAL AND MECHANICAL, FIRST OF ALL LOOK FOR LOOSE OR UNPLUGGED ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES AROUND THE FIRE WALL OR BACK SIDE OF ENGINE. ONE OR TWO MAY BE OFF OR NOT CORRECTLY PLUGGED IN. NEXT DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING OUT OF DEFAULT GEAR (SECOND GEAR) YOU WILL NEED TO RETRIEVE THE FAILURE CODES THEY SHOULD BE RELATED TO TRANSMISSION DESCRIPTORS, WRITE ALL OF THEM DOWN. ALSO LOOK FOR LOOSE GROUNDING WIRES AND GROUND THEM PROPERLY. I THINK YOU WILL FIND THE PROBLEM. IF NOT REPOST FOR MORE HELP BUT, REPOST WITH THE FAILURE CODES. I WILL NEED THEM TO HELP YOU FURTHER.

its on the back of the fuse box cover that snaps in the side of the dash

You need to remove the fan and radiator and a little wiggling should bring it out. Hope this helps.

I would check your brake light swich located under dash just fallow your brake pedle with a test light see if you have power going to it slitely press brake pedle see if other side of switch has power (key on car not running) if not try ajusting it by pulling on it or unscewing it if all checks out ok replace turn signal switch disconnect battery remove center part of steerring remove center bolt with steerring puller pull steering wheel with locking plate puller pull locking plate remove turn signal handle emergency button three scews holding turn signal under dash fallow steering colum disconect wires on right side (passenger side) tape a long wire to end of connector pull turn signal without pulling tape wire all the way out so you can tape it to new turn signal wire connector to be able to pull wires back down steerring colume (you might have to losen steerring colume and bracket two scews under dash four on steering colume)

Most common reasons are bad fuel or low fuel pump output/fuel filter plugged, or bad ignition module (located in distributor), followed by bad spark wires or bad/failing coil. If it is that bad, chances are very good you will get a check engine light soon telling you what it is.

Well unfortunately for you this code has to do with one of your computer brain boxes. It is not specific due to there is so many outputs that the computer has to give. If the truck does not start then your best bet is to replace the ECM/PCM and that will fix it. If it still runs then you can find out which output is messing up and MAYBE have someone repair the damage. Best bet is to just change them out, i know it can get expensive! Hope this gives you the guidance you need! Have a good one!

The wait to start light is telling you there's a problem. Check out your drivers guide. There can be a whole load of problems causing this problem, water in the diesel, blocked fuel filter, no diesel, but if it cranks and starts eventually. The glow plugs probably need replacing.

try looking on top of the radiator you shooed find it by the shroud most cars and trucks have it there you might have to wipe it off hope this helps you bob

Short shoe on the front long shoe on the back. Drum style brakes are self energizing. When the wheel cylinder pushes the shoes out, the front shoe tries to spin with the drum, which pushes on the adjuster, pressing on the rear shoe. So the rear shoe is pushed into the drum by the wheel cyl, and the front shoe.
