What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[rocket]

rehung my exhaust.....(slipped off the rubber hangers).....while underneath I saw the rear pinion was leaking oil.....72k on the bearing........I got an estimate ....just under 200$.
So I made the appointment .......I haven't the tools for a seal job,my luck I'd scratch the housing and really be screwed.....better to farm this one out,imo.

 

[rocket]

oh, and 20 bucks went to the clean air fund.....emissions........passed.

 

[HemiLonestar]

Started doing a cam change, hopefully will have valve springs changed tomorrow.

Can't remember if you posted it, what did you end up going with?

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Going with the PPP Track Warrior.
Lost air on a cylinder while changing the seal dropped the valve. Had to retrieve it. ugh..

 

[Flashback]

100k today on the way to work.

Put a light bar behind the grill.



It is really nice at night.

Projectors and HID's

 

[Redtruck-VA]

That looks good.

That looks good.

Thanks... I'm not really a fan of the blacked out housings, but I got these at a steal... I think the black housings scream aftermarket (basically... Come steal me). I think projectors are more hidden with chrome reflectors.

But, I love it. Just finished adjusting it. Now if they would only rotate with the steering wheel like my Audi.

Cleaned the battery terminals, checked fluids, and blew out the air filter. Need to get a new air filter and change the oil. Im a new Dodge Ram owner. Bought a 2004 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi single cab last week.

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Welcome to the forum. Post some pictures..

rear pinion seal replaced.......129.00$ Worth farming this out, no question.

Front Grill painted, rust removed from Tailgate, TailGate Liner reformed with heat gun. Installed rock guard film on tailgate top and replace the Liner. Should be good to prevent rot for a while.

Gave her a bath.

I gave her a break lately....ol's s2015 sorento has been towing the line.....so to speak.

Removed front bumper, re-chased all bolt/nut threads, cleaned out a lot of rusty parts.

Refinished the fascia (left it the same color as the truck), painted step pad and middle bumper insert, plasti-dipped the chrome part of the bumper and put it all back together.

And Mr. Postman brought in some new 6000K headlight bulbs... Let there be light.

Removed my step rails and modified them to not rub the body frame mount. This is a known issue with most body mount step rails. I would think this could have been engineered out by now. Anyway, I had to drop the rear bracket, grind the edge down some, take my mini sledge persuade the frame mount in about a 1/8" this gave just enough clearance to stop the squeaking. Only had to be done on the rear mount but on both sides.
