    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    I recently got the "hots" for a new truck. Spent a lot of time plotting and researching "year-end" deals before I came to my senses. I realized that I love my 04 1500 SLT Quad 4.7 w/ 211k on it. So I decided to "fix" all the little things that have been bugging me and try to get 2-3 more years...

    Mileage on your 3rd Gen.?

    My 2004 RAM 1500 Quad hit 200k today. Got to take the odometer pic in my own driveway. Still runs and looks great. She uses a little oil, but I won't hold that against her. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    2004 1500 4.7 Sudden AC failure

    Thanks. My mechanic quoted me 970 for replacing both evap & heater cores. 110 heat index in Houston. My old body is telling me let the young men do it. Putting it in the shop tomorrow AM.

    2004 1500 4.7 Sudden AC failure

    Tuesday AM the AC was cold. Left work, turned on AC and it blows hot with an oily smell. I'm guessing evaporator core. Anything else I should look at first? How much can I expect for the job at a reputable mechanic? I am fairly handy but the size of the project is a bit intimidating if it means...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    2004 1500 Quad w/ 165k. Put her in the shop for 2 days. New passenger side hub, upper & lower ball joints, all original hoses replaced and tranny serviced. I'm lighter in the wallet but she's good for a few more years. Let's just call it deferred maintenance. Very happy with how tight she...

    Weekend lights project on 2004 1500 Quad

    Turned out pretty good. Hooked the power for the bed lights into the trailer wiring. Bought a better lighted switch for them too. GuitarGuy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Weekend lights project on 2004 1500 Quad

    Got my OEM fog lights shipped to me this week. Get to install them today. I also picked up some under rail LED bed lights for under the tonneau. I have waited too long to do this! GuitarGuy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ac blower fan problem

    On mine, the recirculation door had broken off and would slide over the fan, partially blocking the airflow. Take out the fan (3 torx screws) then reach inside the open space, you may find a loose piece of plastic (the recirculation door). You will have to break it if you want to take it out...

    Tranny Code P1794 fixed

    For the past 5-6 years on my 2004 1500 Quad Cab 4.7 whenever I would drive in rain or go through a car wash, I would get a couple of hard shifts between 1st & 2nd and then the tranny would throw a code P1794 (which is a speed sensor fault). The tranny is rock solid... No other issues... In dry...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Finally replaced the faulty AC condenser fan... Took about an hour. Having cold AC when you are sitting in bumper to bumper traffic sure makes Houston's heat & humidity a lot more bearable... :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
