1. vp44 or APPS sensor

-Fix the fuel light on my dash, it is realy dim.
-Fix the key tumbler, she won't go backwards and it's hard to get it to turn forward.
-Get my P0700 code looked at(it's some kind of a tranny problem).
-Change the oil.

:My Wish List:
-Get the truck repainted the stock color and get a couple of dents fixed.
-Get the bed Line-X'd.

Besides what is listed it has been a fantastic truck, no real major issues as of yet.

Parking brake cable from cab to frame
Wire tach
Find some 4x4 dually adapters and install so it looks less like a mutt
Fender marker lights
Speedie sleeve for t-case rear output
front driveshaft rebuild
new/junkyard steering colum--started locking up on me the other day--pucker factor=11

There's more but she's pushin' 20 years old and near a half million miles, so I'm not whining

Oh dear. the ol' truck only needs a couple of things, but they are gonna be BIG things. Seal between the vac and pump in the PS pump failed, and now the P.S. has a tendency to not work from time to time, so I guess a new PS pump will be required. A new battery. The driver side upper ball joint unscrewed it self out of the upper control arm, so it's parked until I get time to see if it will go back in or if I will need a new upper control arm as well. Ball joints replaced about 300 miles ago, but the shop that did the work has since closed. Then a valve set, and she'll be good to go again!
Not a bad list for a 15 year old truck!

-lift pump
-clutch master cylinder

-cruise control needs fixed
-oil pressure sender

Those darn sway bar end links have been bugging me for a long time. Rattle rattle. Tires pretty soon (just blew out a BFG ).

on '96, front passenger side outer U joint on front, kill actuator bolts stripped out of injection pump, and parking brake.

on '99, has been having power problems for over a year now, no matter what we change, (sensors, apps...etc...) it does the same thing. run great for a while, then just act like it goes to idle. So it's going to get the p-pump conversion. I have everything except the injector lines, and intake spacer, so I think that's the way I'm going to go on it. It's already on it's second injection pump, and I've learned how to get the power I want out of the p-pumped '96, so that's what I'm going to try. Then, it gets a new dually bed, and I'm going to build custom bumpers front and rear for it. Probably also gonna put stacks on it. Also, parking brake.

'03 is in Dodge shop right now, trying to figure out why it will run great, then all of a sudden, CEL comes on, it starts spitting and sputtering, goes to idle (it'll idle at 28 mph in 6th gear, so it takes a while to get home sometimes when it does it), and it throws about 14 differrent codes. It went off a cliff, and has been messed up ever since. With the new bed, bumper, and front fender, it looks great, just doesn't pull a backhoe very well at an idle. And yep, you guessed it, parking brake doesn't work on it either...Seems to be a pattern here...
