So my 2003 ram 1500 Hemi is around 153k miles now.. since better weather is not too far away, itll be a great time to get some things done..
I have a few questions about some things on my truck and I thank who ever replies and helps me out..
First, since its at 153k miles i think its time for some spark plugs.. Any recomended ones? im new to this so im not sure which to buy, seems theres a lot of different ones.. Also, when it says they have to be gapped.. how do you do that? or do you just screw them in and thats good?
I have noticed that when i hit bumps at higher speeds around 55mph+ my truck seems to like bounce some a few times after a bump. Especially when i have my snowmobile in the back, and have even felt a big clunk like it could be bottoming out or something? so my question is, does that sound like shock absorbers maybe?
I got my oil changed around 1500-1800 miles ago and my oil level was at the add mark, so i added a quart... something to worry about if im burning oil? or common? also i have had to fill up my power steering fluid twice now this winter.. any ideas there?
another thing i have noticed is my steering seems very sloppy.. i replaced my tie rod ends , and have not gotten it aligned.. but it just feels loose.. dont know what that could be.
Thats all i have for now and hoping someone can give me some insight. Sounds like if i attempt some fixing her up this summer ill be busy! thanks in advance.
