New 99 V10 owner
Hello everyone.
Just bought a 1999 V10 2WD Longbed. Overall it's in good shape. Ding in the bed, 122K miles, New tires, very neglected. The first week, I've been replacing oil, antifreeze, stuff like that. Next on the list is Tranny fluid, and Differential fluid. I'm trying to decide if when I do those, I should upgrade to the Mag Hytec pans. Kind of pricey. This isn't my daily driver. It's more a trailer puller (our Travel Trailer, as well as a car trailer). Also on the list is an FIPK upgrade. For now I just put a new paper filter in. Needs a new battery too. I've been reading about the Plenum Intake issue on Ram engines, but from what I can tell, the V10's aren't included in this? Can anyone confirm this? I also have the typical ABS/Brake light on the dash. I need to get a new sensor. Where to most of you get yours? I think I found it on the differential. Is it the that is more on the passenger/front side of the differential? All in all, I'm really happy with the truck. It is a very nice, smooth ride. The previous owner just didn't do too much to it over the last few years.

v10 is a different design on the intake, and doesn't have the plenum problem.
speed sensor/abs sensor on the rear diff is right on top and sort of rectangular shaped. follow the wire. when you're looking for parts, the speed sensor is round and located in the output section of the trans/t-case, and the sensor in the rear is usually listed as rear abs and is square-ish.
