I have a 96 dodge ram 2500 4x4 ext. cab 5.9l v8 and an auto trans with push button over drive it also has Dana 60 axles front and rear my problem is that it has alot of play in the steering wheel and when i am driving at highway speed and hit a bump it feels like the front end is going to vibrate out from under it the ball joints was bad on the passenger side so i changed them thought that was the cause of the vibration but it didnt help if any one knows what is causing this please let me know and i was also wondering what the gear ratio is on these trucks and what the psi is on the fuel injectors any help would be greatly appreciated

 

theres a lot that can be wrong but an easy thing to check first is the adjustment of the steering box, and jack up the front of the truck and try and move the tires if they move look for the play and fix whats broke

 

Track bar. (death wobble) Your truck looks awfully similar to mine.......

Fuel pressure should be in the neighborhood of 49 PSI.

Check ALL of your front end parts. Chances are, if ball joints on one side were bad, the other side isn't going to be too far behind.

Check the rest of the steering linkage as well.

Steering box is famous for play. Some can be adjusted out.

Shaft from column to box sucks too.

 

well first of all thanks guys for the advice i will put it to good use but on the fule injectors the thing i was wanting to know is i have plans on rebuilding my motor and tranny soon and i was wanting to know wat injectors to use becose when i look in summit or jegs at the injectors it will have like 24 lb/hr and i was wanting to know what my truck would have in it

 

I think the stock 360 injectors are 22lb/hr? Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Something to watch though, is at what pressure are the injectors flow rated at? (for any injector you consider.) Your truck runs at 49PSI on the fuel rail, so, and injector rated at 22lbs/hr at 43 PSI is going to flow more than that. There is a good thread in the FAQ section on fuel injectors. (I think it was in there anyway... might be in this forum right here...)

 

so what injectors should a person use if they are wanting to build a work/daily driver/farm truck i plan on having it bored 30 over but not sure about that yet i just want it to be dependable and pull what ever i need to hook it to any sugestions on what should be done to the engin and tranny ?

 

Anything wrong with your stock injectors?

There is a long list of upgrades you can do to both the engine, and trans, to make it more suitable for towing.... How much are you willing to spend?

 

Ummm if your rebuilding close to stock, your stock injectors will be just fine, if you already have a problem with them, contact fiveomotorsports and they should be able to get you going in the right direction, and if your gonna change injectors and stuff hit up Hemifever and see what he reccomends and also order an sct from him while your at it.

 

Also on the steering dont forget to check the stablizer shock i cjanged mine and fixed my steering problem which was same as yours

 

how do i go about adjusting the play out of the steering
