So saturday I we to the garage to do some fluid changes, front and rear diff, trans and transfer case, and check brakes.. Well all the fluid and filter changes went fine and so i jacked the front up pulled the wheels checked the brakes then went to the rear and checked them.. All brakes good.. I get in the truck start it and put it in drive........ IT DONT MOVE!! I think what the hell I know I got everything together right and everything went back in as I had no left over bolts or parts.. So since im kinda new to Dodge I will call USMC1188 (Scott), I call him and hes thinking that since I changed the line filter that it might need to build pressure, but told me to call SchroderMP (Braydon) and ask him.. So I called him and he wasnt quite sure either dold me to leave it in drive to build pressure and he would get online to see if he could find anything out.. So I put it in drive set the e-brake and get out and walk around the truck...

I honestly thought that was the problem half way through your story, only because I've seen it done before Lol. Glad it was that simple.

Kinda like doing a tune up on an old car. I'd put new points in, or the few i had with electronic ignition new cap and rotor. Put everything back together, no fire.....wtf? Few more tries, start troubleshooting....ah yes, there's the rotor up on the firewall....:Stupid Me:
