    Rockers off for head removal?

    As the title states, do I need to remove the rocker arms to remove/install the head? Just changed my head gasket then someone said "You need to remove your rocker arms and retighten in sequence", any truth to this?

    Safe over-bore size?

    Rebuilding my 5.2, summit offers a 3.940in piston bore size. Is a +.030 OK to overbore? The spacing between bores looks adequate but i was hoping to get input from someone who knows more than i do on this subject.

    Truck won't heat up

    Spring is in the down position, and it is direct from the dodge dealer. I'm going to take it out soon, and then put it in boiling water to make sure it is opening.

    Truck won't heat up

    Both. Last week I got a "too cold for too long" engine code and after that I put in my dodge thermostat, same result. The cab also has very very mild heat, would guess maybe 90 degrees blowing. The upper radiator hose I should replace, when I was changing thermostats it was pretty flexible..

    Truck won't heat up

    I drove it around for 30 mins and the heater hoses were hot but not too hot to hold onto. I'm going to try to replace the upper and lower rad hoses then try to take out the thermostat and see what happens, thanks for the advice

    Truck won't heat up

    Truck will not heat up, has brand new heater core and I'm on my 4th thermostat. All started after replacing my plenum gasket. All parts from dodge. Made sure to burp the system and checked all fluids. Any ideas?

    How can i clean air ducts?

    Whenever i put on my air (hot or cold), there is an awful smell. One day a piece of what looks like a rats nest flew up one of the vents, so i took off my blower motor to discover more small bits of a nest. Is there any good way to clean the ducts? I would rather not pull the whole HVAC box...

    HVAC door stuck?

    Just purchased a 2001 Dodge Ram SLT 5.2. One thing I noticed is that the HVAC will not blow out of anything other than the defrost vents. No matter what else I turn it to, it is always there. Any quick suggestions on what to check before I rip out the dash?

    Will 35's fit a my 2" lifted truck?

    So i bought a truck, and it has (what i believe are) 2" lift blocks under the leafs, don't think anything is done to the front, but the truck sits level. I'd like to get some 35x12.50x15 wheels, but not sure if they will rub...if not, can i get away with them on a -44 offset rim?

    Welding in new rocker panels and cab corners

    Living in Michigan sucks, road salt everywhere, and the truck i just picked up is surely feeling the wrath of it. The rocker panel on my driver side needs to be redone front to back, and my passenger side needs a section done, as well as my cab corner on the passenger side. I plan on using my...

    Leaking gear box, sloppy steering

    I did a little searching and rockauto has a new gear box for $125 after the $70 core so i'll probably just order from there and hopefully it fixes it, thanks for the help!

    Leaking gear box, sloppy steering

    I just did ball joints about a month ago, linkage is fine (confirmed with mechanic) though the tie rods will likely need to be done in about 3-4 months, are not bad by any means but i can feel a little give. Do you know what a rebuild costs on average? i know a new box runs about $200-300

    Leaking gear box, sloppy steering

    So, i don't know much about the steering linkage, but my ram (5.9) has realllyyy sloppy steering, i tightened the steering gear box bolt but it didn't do much, but i noticed it is leaking quite a bit, if i take out the gear box and reseal the whole thing, will that help my sloppy steering?

    Brake lights not working, running lights do

    I brought home a 98 ram last night, and was told my brakelights are out, the lights themselves will come on if i turn on my headlights as they should, and my turn signals work, just no brake lights to any of the 3 lights. I ordered a new brake light switch, but if this doesnt work, anyone have...
