Online Resources for 1994 Dodge Ram 1500?

While I'm waiting for my service manual to ship here I thought I would do a little researching. To my dismay I would have to sit through days of results for google or bing to sift through advertisements and for sale websites.



I would like to know if anyone knows a good online forum/website where I can get good write ups or how to's on proper service maintenance. I have a small leak from the head gasket, burnt oil, and would like to perform a proper tuneup and oil change at the same time, since I just bought the truck and have no records of its history. I have had it checked out by a mechanic but they recommended that I get the mounts changed, yet gave no indication that they noticed the gasket leak or the burnt oil, but otherwise the truck was in really good condition for its mileage.





I would like to hear from those who have owned the same vehicle what are the recommended supplies as far as motor oil, filters, spark plugs, etc. Normally I use Mobil 1 and Bosch on my other vehicles (with never a problem) but with no records and the high mileage on this vehicle I am unsure if that's best.

I am cross posting this with the maintenance and repair section to see if I can get all of my bases covered.Online Resources for 1994 Dodge Ram 1500?

search it on the internet. there's also a site called dodgeforum.com you could ask a question in the 2nd generation ram section about how to do that. either that or search it. the guy's there are pretty good about that kind of stuff. I've asked on that forum before in the diesel section and they're always pretty good about it. so that's probably the best place to go. either that or see if you can find a chiltons book on that truck.
