How do you get out of a trunk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If its a car trunk your talking about, just look for a neon tab, its glow in the dark and most cars made in the last five or six years have them. If the car is older than that push the seats in, they will likely fold down and you can get out that way.

How do you make a 2001 dodge Cummings 2500 blow out black smoke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it's an older Cummins (any 5.9L model), the cheapest way is to just cut the muffler off up to the engine and run a straight pipe clear out the back. Then SCT Tune the truck and you'll be making great power and blowing plenty of that black smoke on the Prius at the stop light! If it's a newer 6.7L Cummins you will have to install a DPF Delete Kit. DPF stands for "diesel particulate filter." It catches all of the smoke and emissions that is coming from the engine. You install this pipe and the truck will be straight piped for blowing plenty of that black smoke!

How do you hook up a volt meter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

plug the two cords you are given into the meter and clip the pegs that are connected to it onto the object you are using! For example; connect the two wires onto two pieces of mteal (or copper) and put them in a glass of salt water, facing apart- not touching! And position in the correct place! Ta- da, instant electromagnet!!! It's like a battery!

Where can you find a wiring diagram for an older Dodge pickup that includes the tail lights brake lights and blinkers?

Asked by Wiki User

I think I can answer my own question. Went to walmart and found a brake light for a tow hitch, with a logic circuit on it for $10. I also purchased a converter from a 7 way trailer hitch plug to a 4 way, which is needed for the trailer hitch light. It also was $10. so I will tap into the logic circuit to the third brake light. for $20 it solved my problem. Thought I would pass this along.

How do you replace the alternator on a 1998 Dodge truck?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Jack up right front of car. Be sure to protect yourself with jackstands and rear wheel chocks. Safety first! 2) Remove the engine undercover (plastic under engine protector) on the right side 3) Remove the right front wheel. 4) remove the right hand side inspection cover inside the wheel well. (I did not say this was a simple job.) 4a) Optional: Curse Nissan engineers for lack of foresight in maintenance. 5) Loosen the belt idler pulley (center of the pulley itself, I think its 14mm, but Do NOT loosend the bracket bolt) 6) Loosen the idler pulley tension (large, vertical nut above the idler pulley) 7) remove the belt. 8) replace with new belt. Install is opposite of removal. You may have to wiggle a bit to slip it on correctly, but be patient, it will go. To replace alternator: 9) get your butt under the car, fully supported on jackstands, and remove the 4 Air conditioner bolts 10)Slide the A/C compressor forward (don't drop it on your head!) 11) Disconnect the alternator harness connector (This may be tricky to do while mounted. If so, then with the help of a friend, remove the alternator following the steps below and remove the connection after the alternator is loose. DO NOT let the alternator hang by the wiring harness connections.) 12) remove the wiring harness bracket from the alternator. 13) Remove the alternator upper and lower bolts. Slide Alternator down and forward to remove. 14) Install is opposite of removal. Good Luck!

How do you replace 96 Chevy 2500 4x4 truck rotors?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it's an 8-lug rim then you take off ur wheel. then you take off the caliper by unscrewing the two bolts using a hexagon pattern. then pound out all of you 8 lug bolts, then you undo the center axel bolt. then you undo the four bolts from your hub located on the back side of rotor (15mm socket). then you take off the rotor and undo the anti lock brake sensor with a small hex key. then you work backwards to put it back together. :) i actually did mine today. cost me 73 dollars for both brand new rotors from schucks... napa tried to rip me off and sell me 73 dollars a piece. i bought the cheapest brakes from napa for 25 dollars. if you have any more questions, email me... vasyak@gmail.com..

05 Dodge diesel cummins 3500 won't start any suggestions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is possibly the injection pump. Happened to me. Contaminated fuel can cause it. The pump was replaced along with lift pump. Runs great now--Dodge has the best diesel engine. First, check the fuel pump relay--that happened to me, too. Under the hood, driver's side, plastic snap-off cover.

Can you put a dodge 1976 318 in a 97 dodge truck?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can, like you can with anything else, but it will take a lot of custom work. The mounts might be different, plus the older engine didn't need to rely on a computer to work, but the newer one does. The jist of what I'm saying is, it's gonna be a lot work, and expensive to, so it's best just to find something different, unless you're really fitted for it and have plently of time and money to do the job.

Big block 727 torqueflite transmission differences FROM SMALL BLOCK 727?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How can you identify a mopar 727 big block transmission? I dealt with this with my 1965 Chrysler w/ 383 V-8. At least for my car, the big block version is stamped "727 BB" and the case is longer. I recall 35"L from front of case to end of the aluminum (not rubber driveshaft seal). Everything looked good on the rebuilt transmission, but when I unwrapped it to install I found the speedometer hole was too big and it didn't have the cable shift input. Under the gun with a moving truck coming, I had mine rebuilt locally, which didn't fix the "morning sickness" problem (fluid draining back from torque converter?). I since found that 1965 was the year Mopars converted from pushbutton to column shift but retained the cable shift of the pushbutton (1965 only). If I ever have to replace my case, I am guessing an earlier big-block transmission would work if I can't find a 1965.

How do you remove the front brake calipers on a 2001 Dodge pickup?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

PossibleIf it's the same as a 1998 setup, I have a hex bit that fits on a 3/8 ratchet handle. Any auto parts store can probably show you the bit.

My 01 1500 4x4 has 2 13/16" hex bolts. Spray with penetrating oil first and use a breaker bar with your 3/8 or 1/2" ratchet, those puppies require lots of leverage to break loos. I use an 18" piece of 3/4" (inside diameter) black steel pipe to slip over the ratchet handle.

How to replace ignition switch on a 1995 Dodge pickup?

User Avatar

Asked by Olvrklzoff

Remove the plastic covering on the steering column. The ignition switch is the box that the ignition cylinder runs into. It's basically easy with only removing a couple of bolts to replace. The only trick is to be very careful actually pulling the box off the column. Make sure the key is in power off position. wiggle the box off, when putting the ignition cylinder into the new ignition switch you don't want to turn the key. Leave it in the off position. Then watch the rod in the rear of the new ignition switch as it goes back into the column. I have seen people have to turn the key in the ignition cylinder while pushing gently into the ignition switch. But beware it can turn into a real nightmare. If you use a bran new ignition cylinder, it will state all over do not turn the cylinder until it's installed.

Does dodge trucks 4 wheel drive work off a vacuum system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dodge 2500 and 3500 4x4 trucks use a split front axle that is engaged with vacuum lines that run from the intake to the transfer case then to the front differential.

That was true up till 2002, after that the shifter on the axle was electric if it had one at all.
