hello everyone this past saturday after a little haggling i am the proud owner of a 98 ram 1500 extended cab 4x4 for 300.
A couple of questions

1 I have absolutely no heat i have checked a few things i felt the box where the heater core is and its warm but no heat.

2 on the firewall in the engine compartment right where the heater hoes exit the cab there is a vac line that comes out and then tees but both ends of the t's are not hooked to anything.

3 right on top of the tranny tunnel in the cab there is somekind of electronic box with a plug what is it for?

thanks for the help

 

welcome. hell of a deal for $300. i think i'll take you with me whenever i buy another car.

the vac lines are the heat/ac controls. you should hook them back up. they should all connect back to the side of the intake. under the cowl is a vac reservoir.

floorboard thing is air bag control module.

welcome to the '98 crew! Did you really get that truck for $300 or is that a misprint? lol

 

nope not a misprint got it for 300 it has 209000 miles o nit and the interior shows it, it needs some work but i dont mind i have always wanted one but could never afford one til now

 

I got mine @ 225000 miles for $300.00
I had to spend $3000-$4000 (within 2-3years) to make it work right.
