    Power Steering Issues Post-Engine Swap

    I m definitely not using them after this issue is taken care of. Would you guys fight the bill or just pay it? Even though these parts eventually fail, I can't get passed the shear coincidence of it all. Especially given the halfass work they did putting everything back together.

    Power Steering Issues Post-Engine Swap

    Yeah I was having a hard time believing the guy when he told me it probably happened when the valve blew. I'm no mechanic but I didn't think the two systems had any connection other than the belt that drives the PS pump. Thanks for the response!

    Power Steering Issues Post-Engine Swap

    What's up everyone? I have an '04 QC with the 5.7 Hemi. About a month ago the head over the #7 cylinder drooped and a valve spring broke, sending the valve into the cylinder. The engine was toast. I ended up ordering a remanufactured engine from Powertrain Products. I finally got the truck...

    Motor Blew Up!!

    The initial mechanic simply told me I need a new engine. Based on his half ass description of the damage it sounds like the infamous broken valve spring. I had the truck towed to a shop that does rebuilds but I'm thinking I'd rather throw a completely remanufactured engine in there if I'm...

    New to Me Truck with Mystery Lift

    What's up guys! I'm new to the forum. I just bought an 04 Ram 1500 QC 4x4 5.7L Hemi from a man's widow. She obviously didn't know all the details about what her late husband had done to the truck. It was obvious to me that it wasn't sitting on stock suspension, but I'm not sure what it has. I've...
