Hello all.
I’m Kevin, disabled veteran not working ever again. Lol

I have a 98 Ram 2500 12v, manual 2wd. Club cab 8’ bed. Engine has been rebuilt with head studs, rod bolts, main bolts, 2 stage springs, ddp stage 2 injectors, fuel pak, adjustable fuel plate in p pump, SXE S363/80 turbo, upgraded inter cooler, 5” exhaust, ATS Diesel performance NV4500, Dana 80 rear, goose neck, air bags and something I’m forgetting.

 

Did it originally come with the 12 valve? (I think the early 98's did, 24 valve came after the mid-year refresh?)

Welcome to DF!

 

Yes, I have an early 98 12valve. Took me a while to find it though. The 98.5 is 24 valve. Gotta order parts for 97 sometimes to avoid getting 24v stuff.

 

Yeah, dodge did some odd and strange stuff over the years, and not all the parts stores are familiar with 'em. Try getting calipers for a 96 3/4 ton.... They handed me the dual piston fellers...... Those just weren't gonna fit.

 

Welcome to the club

 

I research what the parts stores have then give them the part #. Or order it on line and just pick it up. Then you don't have to rely on who's behind the counter giving you the wrong stuff.

 

Welcome!
