Great tutorial. I appreciate not having a bunch of wasted talk on safety BS,, and random chatter! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback. I try to stick to whats needed when I can. Dont forget to subscribe and share the videos with others.
Great description ...just what I was looking for ...thanks!
I just changed my 2006 Durango wheel. Everything went smoothly. To remove the air bag connectors I used needle nose pliers to gently squeeze the tabs and lift off the connectors. Works perfectly. I found that the steering wheel gently rocked off the spline and didn't have to resort to the wheel puller that I bought. I guess that's one tool going back. This video was perfect for understanding the process.
Thanks Rodger for the comment. Glad it went well and easy. Don't forget to subscribe!

Thanks for the video! Question, I have an 07 Dodge 2500. I have a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. Where should I look in trouble shooting that? Thanks in advance!
I just bought a 04
I was wondering if there was any way I could add a keyless fob, since I have to open every door manually
my fuel gauge quit cause of a short on the light switch, also cluster lights multifunction switch have no powers, any insight
Hi, I have an 03 dodge 1500. My clock spring is bad. I know its an easy fix. I am just a wee bit nervous of the scary air bag. Is there ANY potential of accidental discharge if the battery has been disconnected for well over 30Min?
Anything special for 2003 Ram with radio controls?
Thanks
Your welcome and thanks for watching
Thanks. Easy.
Your welcome Josh. Thanks for the feedback. Make sure to subscribe
How about a loose steering wheel. 2007 ram 2500 almost like the bolt loosened up
Great video, I have one question, Dodge Nitro RT..on the steering wheel 3 and 9 position is the info control center buttons, I have been unable to replace the polished metal area the buttons fit into...no and mean no Dodge dealer can find that part number
+Wayne zaycek Email your VIN number and I will see what I can try to find out. david@motorcitymechanic.com
Great tutorial. How would I go about taking the chrome badge off the front of the steering wheel cover? Are there just more clips to detach the airbag assembly from the cover?
I didnt know that the emblem was avail seperately. I only knew of it coming with the airbag cover which also has the horn pad. the airbag can be removed seperately from the cover by unhooking the cover from the airbag. it takes times but is possible. The airbag has metal fingers and the cover has slots cut into it that the fingers go thru.
Thank u
Hey there Stephan. No....thank you for taking the time to comment sand fur watching. Hope the video helped. Make sure to subscribe and help spread the word by sharing these videos with others.
Great video, excellent lighting, steady camera, easy to follow instructions and reasons why.
Question: I've just replaced my R & P on my 2005 Grand Caravan. The steering wheel was tied down in the straight/level position. After I forcefully attached the steering intermediate coupler to the rack gear and attached the outer tie rods to the wheel hub assembly and did all the fluid checks etc I took the van for a test drive. The steering wheel doesn't turn as far to the left and turn too far to the right. The intermediate coupler is seriously stuck onto the rack and I really don't want to have to spend 2 hours trying to figure out how to get the two pieces apart. I would appreciate your ideas, professions or creative.
Thanks again. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to more tutorials.

Thanks Gerry for the cool feedback. It sounds like you may not have centered the steering rack before installing. I always mark where the old on is.....and then turn the input shaft until it stops and I make note of the number of times it turned until it stopped. then I max the new one out in the same direction and then back it off the same number of times until it ends in the same location as the original. There are cases where the rack could be the issue and wasnt correctly put back together when rebuilt at the manufacture. At this point the steering coupler will need to be removed from the rack. It should have just slid down onto the rack without much effort....it is made to only go on one way (keyed/splined)....if it was hard to get on then it may not have been lined up correctly and was forced into a spot instead of where it was suppose to go.
I figured. Is there a tool or technique to remove a VERY stuck intermediate coupler from the rack splines?
Thanks.
No tool that I know of.....if the coupler has a split down it then you can try wedging a chisel or something to help open up the coupler so that it can be removed easier.
liked the video is there one for the clock spring for the same years of dodge truck.
Thanks for taking the time to both comment and for watching the video. I currently don't have a video yet on the clockspring in this truck. I will try to keep it in mind incase another vehicle comes in for a clockspring. Make sure to subscribe so that you get notified when new videos come out as well as any important news I may have.

I just bought a 2003 dodge ram 1500. It was wrecked in the front. It has a lot of play in the steering which doesn't seem to transfer from the steering wheel to the steering column. Any ideas on what it may be? Thanks.
Hard to say without performing a good inspection. Anything is possible on a wrecked vehicle.Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
can you make a tutorial to change 2003 ram steering wheel to 2004 steering wheel swap also i am a new subscriber thanks
Thanks for subscribing! I will keep it in mind. I have to have a similar repair vibe in first before I can. I will keep an eye out and see what I can. Thanks again for following the channel
Can i put an 04 steering wheelon my 2003? Is do the splines and plugs line up?
As far as I know you should be able to. There were no changes between those years.
I have a truck with a person that was pulling the steering wheel to get in the truck now it rattles back and fourth. Does anyone know if I can just tighten it up or adjust it or do I have to replace?
Its hard to say. Sounds like it will need to be taken apart to see hat me causing the play. On the older trucks you can do some repairs. Been awhile sense I have seen this issue so I cant remember exactly what years....there was a bulletin actually that covered a similar issue. Whats the year of the truck?
Do you have to remove steering wheel to be able to remove the turn signal switch on this same model? Thx for the video!
+mexymac Afternoon, depends on the year model. Here is a link to a video I made where you don't have to remove the steering wheel. ruclips.net/video/UZEtRwt2BRw/видео.html Make sure to subscribe and also check out my other videos. Thanks
Hi. I'd like to replace the stock steering wheel with one that has no cruise control or other connections, maybe a horn at most. Is it possible to use the replacement steering wheel solely for manual operation, or will I likely encounter short circuit or other electronic problems?
+whoop dat trick Are you wanting to go with a stock steering wheel with no switches or an aftermarket steering wheel of a completely different design?
I would love to see you make this video again, but without the distracting background music.
Sorry about that, its one of my older videos when I had to film at work. Glad that things have changed and my quality has evolved.
can i swap steering wheel with a nrg racing steering wheel and delete cruise and airbags? 99 ram 1500?
Morning Lindsey. I dont know for sure how things will work. I am not sure what the laws are about disabling the airbags or in this case removing it. Physically I would think that the swap should go okay as long as its made for that steering column shaft and the splines match up. I personally havent done that swap so I can say 100% for sure in the end
I was wondering of I could change my 02 steering wheel to an 04 wheel.
I dont see why not. I recommend calling your local Dodge dealer and have them look up both year models to see if the part number is the same. Being the same body style I feel it will work but best to be sure. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe. Enjoy the weekend.
Chris Longoria did you end up changing your steering wheel looking to do the same on my 03

Yes sir, wheel looks awesome. Basically everything is just plug and play..
My horn only works sometimes
Horn problem
Turn the FUCKING MUSIC OFF
Its the joys of working in a shop with 8 other people and someone always playing something. Main reason why I film at home now.
