  AW70 to M47 driveshaft issues - 240 edition

  By Alan29

  So I'm in the final stages of the AW70 to M47 swap on my 1993 240 and I'm running into an issue getting the two piece shaft back together. I am using the 1993 AW70 rear with the M47 front that came with my M47 parts. Both of the AW70 halves separated like they should without any fuss. Joining the M47 front to the AW70 rear is giving me extreme grief. I located the alignment arrows. I have verified there is no weird obvious spline differences. Both halves are meshed together but it... Read more

  Prematurely welding spring perches at pinion 5 degrees down?

  By LowlySatellite

  My friend is an expert TIG welder and he’s offered to weld my spring perches on my on rear end housing that’s going under my ‘70 Satellite. I’ll be installing a 440 engine with an A833 four speed all in the stock locations eventually. Ideally, I’d like to have him weld on the spring perches before I install the housing, gears, new leaf springs, shocks, etc. I plan on assembling my car, after paint, literally from the ground up from the rear to the front over the course of the next year or...

  Driver side low beam LED replacement headlight went out.

  By Spaceman Spiff

  2006 1500SLT. About 5 years ago, I installed LEDs and they flashed. Unaware of lockout, I inadvertently bricked them while troubleshooting. Online info said the 2006 did NOT have Canbus, so I didn't bother with the resistors. After installing the resistors [supplied by LED mfg], I had NO lights. I read the computer had locked them out and needed reprogrammed. $80 later [reprogramming fee at repair shop], my headlights worked correctly. A couple months ago, one of the driver's... Read more

  Overrev 2nd gear 87mph

  By aznguy1992

  So I over revved instead going into 4th it went into 2nd. I went into neutral and pressed clutch. Engine had two codes p0600 and p0219. Went into limp mode. Pulled over and cleared codes. Car drove fine. All gears 1-6 worked. No grinding, clicking, clattering or knocking. Got home to check my prl flex fuel kit as it started to go haywire. 0-28% randomly no longer steady. Battery volt dropped to 11.5 to 10.8 randomly. Car didn’t start that night. Next day after about 20-30 attempts reflashed... Overrev 2nd gear 87mph

  Violet & White 3rd brake light wire

  By TPBC

  I purchased a brand new 2025 Ram 3500 from the dealer in December 2025. I removed the Leer topper from my 2023 Ram 2500 and installed it on the new truck. The violet & white wire that was on my 2023 ran my Leer 3rd brake light with no issue. I connected the topper to the violet and white wire on the 2025 but nothing happened. I disconnected the wiring and tested the wire with both a test light and a meter. No power at all when the brakes are activated. I checked fuses and no blown... Read more

  Water pump failure

  By elib96

  Hello, first time posting. I am pulling out my hair at this point. I was on the freeway when the truck's original water pump failed. Had to have it towed home so I could put in a new one. I put a Mopar wp in with a new belt and tensioner, and it failed immediately after starting to drive. Idled just fine, at least 30 minutes of idling time. Ok, bad luck I thought. Warrantied it and tried again. Same thing. Both times, it failed in the exact same way. The pulley is loose, I can get maybe a... Read more
