Nice, I will be needing to do the same soon. Three bolts/studs snapped this summer but aren't leaking yet, I figured I'll wait till they do then have them plained.
Once they start leaking it will only get worse. The good thing is that once you mill the exhaust manifolds they won't warp again.

Took my truck into an auto glass shop today to address the ANNOYING A-pillar leak that I've concluded is coming from the windshield seal and after 5 hours they didn't have the chance to get to it. Taking it back in Sunday.

Also developed an oil leak. Had to put in just over a quart of oil today to fill it back up.

On the bright side my amazon stuff finally shipped and maybe I can get my heated seats wired up next week

Replaced the rear shocks on my 07 SLT 2WD. Had to wear a face shield because of all the rust raining down on me and had to cut to flanges attached to the top nut to turn them out.

Question to the masses

2007 Ram 1500 6-speed manual
I was driving with the 4WD Lock selection and everything was working great.
When I got near 55-65 mph, all the sudden the “4WD Low” light would blink on as well...
I slowed down, disengaged the 4WD (because I was worried about it trying to shift into 4WD Low), re-engaged it and everything would worn fine for about he 3-4 mins. Then the Low light would blink again.
Not a steady blink. Just intermittent enough to make me worry that it was going to try to shift into 4Low.
Any info would be great appreciated. Thanks!!

Today, after 6+ happy years, l traded her in for a Ford F250 Powerstroke.

I had many good, basically trouble free years with the Ram, but am excited for my new ride too.

Today I mostly just walked by and swore at my ram. I'm part way into a head swap, progress has been slow with only a few hours per weekend available.

Man, I REALLY need to do this on my '04. It's pure garbage, and I'm not a small fella either!

Yesterday I changed the oil & filter. On the way to work truck started running like crap. Bucking & chugging. I knew what it was long before engine light came on. So I stopped at an O'Reilly's on the way to work to grab a coil pack. Sure enough when I started truck to continue to work the engine light was on. Did the key turn 3 times, cylinder # 8 misfire. Replaced this morning first thing.
