Thanks man, I appreciate that! I’m not great with being in front of a camera so I’m a lot more awkward when it’s one (“I don’t know what to do with my hands”)
I bought it with 358k, car fax showed two owners with no major mechanical work done (engine/trans). Upon inspection none of the engine/trans bolts had any sort of indications that any of the bolts have ever been turned. The trans is stock minus an aftermarket (stock) valve body.

Hello and thanks for having me here. My truck is a 04 ram 1500 5.7 qcsb 4x4. Today when I was leaving work my truck started first turn as normal and then just fell on its face. With key on the truck hits 50 psi fuel pressure at the rail. When I start it's the pressure drops to 0 psi in about 2...
