    quick question

    Good for you! Mine is very sentimental to me too, I've had it for 12 years and wouldn't get rid of it for anything, even though it sat for years without running. Good luck!

    Poor Starting - Possible Carb Issue

    If it's flooding, usually they'll start if you put the gas pedal to the floor (to open up the carb) and hold it down while you crank it. If it's flooding, it also usually smells very strongly of gasoline. Different problem if you have to pump the pedal to get it to start. Could be the fuel...

    Body Lift Question

    See that's what I thought too, but a few phone calls to 4x4 places here in TX and everyone agrees that it won't fit from a D150 to W150 - no explanation why though. The major 4WD place here in town gave up on mine already and they have a lot of odd lifted things, lol. I haven't given up...

    Cheapest price for Sirius/XM?

    I got a statement a couple of weeks ago for $20 for 5 months...I won't pay $15 a month for it though. I had a free 3 month trial initially and it's ok, but not worth $15 a month. We have a ton of over passes here and every time i drive under one it cuts out anyway.

    Body Lift Question

    I have a 84 D150 and as far as I have found, they do not make kits for a body or suspension lift for these anymore. I've tried both of the major 4x4 places in town. Getting it for the W150 is do able, but they don't fit the D150 (2 WD). So what we did to lift up my 84 is put 3/4 ton springs on...

    Need a hand

    Definitely was not fun - pics of the progress. The whole little spindle yanked out without the UCA off of it, but like you mentioned, it did need to come off to install the new one. We took the caliper and rotor off to start with just to have more room. Shattered a 13/16th socket with the...

    Newbie needs help

    I am pretty sure those will fit, you could always measure to confirm it though! From what I read, the 2003 Dodge has a 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern as well.

    Level & 3" Body Lift Pics Only

    Pretty sure this is only a 3" lift - not sure on the leveling, I haven't been under it much other than to replace the CV axle. (sorry, it was muddy in the pic, it's dark gray lol) Rims 20", Tires 35's - no spacers on it.

    Need a hand

    Hey, that worked, got the UCA off (that wasn't easy either) and we managed to get it on, so now to reassemble! Thanks! BTW we love the new Ram, she's a beauty.

    Need a hand

    Oh and speaking of the bearings and all, they came out of the boot on the CV axle, the retainer came out in little bitty pieces through the boot as well. We got the first one off in pieces (they weren't happy about their core being ripped to shreds, haha) but getting one on has been a *******...

    Need a hand

    Yeah the caliper and rotor is off completely, we're working on the UCA now but it's tight and we snapped our 13/16ths socket in 3 places lol. It's been an adventure, I"ll post pics of the new beasty tomorrow, providing we get it fixed and my boyfriend isn't taking my truck to work.

    Need a hand

    So we just bought a 2009 Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI - it has a bad CV axle. So spent a couple of hours trying to wrench it out and finally got it, got a new half shaft and...we can't get it in! We've tried everything short of pulling the entire hub off (brakes are off, calipers off)...what now? ideas...

    Looking to Lift My 2WD

    I'm not sure about those springs Leadfoot. I still haven't gotten my spacers on, because I spaced out and left them at home.

    Looking to Lift My 2WD

    Stiff I don't mind, but with the bigger springs it was dangerous - it would shudder if you braked or turned even at reasonable speeds. I'll check out the autozone tomorrow and see if they have one I can borrow before I invest in something I'm probably not going to need more than once (hopefully).

    Looking to Lift My 2WD

    OEM/Coil spring compressor (27035) | Coil Spring Compressor | AutoZone.com Would one like this work? Looks like a $50 deposit, which I can do, if it's going to cause me less hassle, screaming, cussing, and busted knuckles. On a side note, when I first replaced the coil springs (there's a story...
