I was wondering if yall can resolve some of this issues am having with it

1. When I driving on the Highway, go @ 55-60mph on in incline the truck feels weird. It starts to vibrate for a couple of seconds and then it goes away.

2. My Cruise Control Stop working, it was working fine but now that @135K miles it giving out. I dont know what it could be.

3.My Radio FM went out. It weird only my FM went out I got AM/CD/Cassette
but that it.


Also i was wondering were can you find replacement Headlight for my sport. I been wanting to get some smoked one but they are hard to come by.

#1 could be alot of things. Wheel balance, ujoints, hub bearings, front steering components,etc...

#2 could be a bad vacumm hose,wiring, or you can try this, https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram-tech/171504-cruise-control-switch-r-and-r.html

#3 no idea, other than the radio is just no good anymore.

and lastly , try ebay,or LMC Truck.

Question 96 2500 4WD Issue

Cummins eng. -- When I shift to high 4WD dash light come on, but is not in 4WD. Continue to low 4WD and all appears normal. Any guess why it will not engage in the high position.

Under the battery tray, you can trace them from there. Don't forget to check the fuse box on the side of the dash and any relays or fuses that might be in the PDC, (black plastic box by battery)

Yeah, that tip was for you. He is referring to the vacuum hoses.

To cartalk2, please create your own thread on the 2nd Gen or Diesel main page. Don't hijack someone else's.
