that thing wouldn't happen to be green and come from KY now would it?
I haven't seen a ramcharger that straight in a while. The few in town look like they've been rockcrawling their entire lives.
I been going thru the 2003 to that I would have some confidence that it will be reliable enough to drive. So far I have accomplished the following and other than the Tach everything else works as required. I had to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets only one side was leaking but both sides had missing studs. I thought it was going to be a bigger job than it turned out being all I was only able to get 3ea bolts loose on each side, I used the torch to cut the heads off and the ones where the bolts were missing I thought the bolt would be broken off in the head. I was happy to be lucky than good this time it was amazing all the bolt heads I cut off the bolt almost screwed off with my fingers and the ones that I though were broke were completely missing form the head. I just ran a tap in every hole and all were good.I knew one motor mount was bad when I bought the truck, what I did not know was when the mount fails it will let the Exhaust manifold contact the frame of the truck, in my case it actually cracked the manifold, I had already bought a new manifold because I figured it would be warped anyway as you can see from the picture the mount had failed some time ago. 1. Full fluids change2. Belt, hoses, plugs, filters, tstat3. Front Diff locking tab4. Both motor mounts5. Passenger side exhaust manifold 6. Rear pads and Adjust parking brake7. Door lock actuator and rewire the door harness(crappy Dodge wire) So I have put about 2K miles on the ram and looks like no major issues so far, this truck dose not drip on drop of oil and that is pretty impressive for a truck with 300K, now that I have a fresh oil change I will see how bad the oil consumption will be
I don’t like locking hubs and I’m not quite up in years. Nice score Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Spools? i.e. wheel with no tire?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ryan, not sure if the question was serious, so forgive me if I’m too dense to pick up on subtlety. A solid one piece third member that mechanically fixes the axles. 100% direct drive on both shafts. Zero slippage. Maximum torque and maximum tire wear....Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Tate, I sent you an email let me know what you can do please.
Where do those squirters go Phil? I did crank and bearings in one a few years ago but don't remember seeing them.
