Hi all. Newbie here. Want to know how to replace the radio coax from antenna to radio in an 06 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins. FM works but AM does not. Also some suggestions on a water pump. Both are on a 2006.5 Cummins 5.9L.
Dealer said to replace was $500 plus as front fender well must be removed. This is also the same Dodge dealer who quoted me $659 to replace a complete electric mirror on the drivers side. I found one (OEM) and paid delivered at $105. Now I am not a mechanic by far so I reviewed a film on youtube. Fifteen fifteen minutes to remove and replace entire mirror.
I don't have a lot of cash as I am a 100% disabled Vietnam Vet and have to get the water pump replaced as it took a dump yesterday. I found some OEM replacement places for $179.00.
So two questions:
1. How to replace the raido coax or get the AM part of the radio to work and
2. How hard is it to replace the water pump and any special tools needed?
Thanks for any help anyone my offer an old fart like myself.
