    V10 thermostat housing discontinued??! Where do you guys find one?

    Hey gang. Just wondering where everyone goes for the thermostat housing for a 96 v10? Mopar 5300 6047 is the part number. Every site I hit says discontinued. I cant imagine that if my housing was to be ruined the entire truck is now useless? Dealer is closed so haven't checked them yet so hoping...

    Axle swap...

    A 3.92 around here is impossible to find. I have been searching for 2 months now. I have snagged a dial indicator and magnetic base and a clutch pack x2 as well as carrier bearings and races. I have a set of spiders from another lower km 3.55 rear when I am going to use. The diff has been...

    You're doing an awesome job of making an othrwise awesome group look like shit man. Well done. Keep it up. It would be nice to see you get the boot or at least a periodic suspension from posting for a while as other groups do when someone is posting purely to be a douchebag.

    You ever think some people may live in an area where all the shit you can walk down the street for is not available? Do everyone a favour and don't comment unless it's useful info man.

    G-ride . Thanks for that. From what you're saying then it's notninstant carnage as soon as you roll away after buttoning everything up? Which bearings will die prematurely? Carriers or pinion? Could I not set the backlash roughly and then run a test drive and then adjust if necessary? As for...

    Axle swap...

    Thanks man. I appreciate the real-life experience. I wondered about that actually if it would matter when you're in snow or slop as tires would not be able to grip at the same rate and could spin freely anyways which would not result in binding. Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. Both those options you listed are wait for shipping options. And my parts store will have one but even with a discount it will be pricey. In short I'm impatient. Truck has been on blocks for a month because everyone says how horrible it is to mess with a diff. I was...

    Anyone have any experience setting backlash without a dial indicator? I got fed up with no one knowing what the shrapnel was I found in the pumpkin and pulled the differential out. The bits were pieces of the clutch pack inner shim plates and the retainer clips. Im getting new plates and clips...

    Thanks all for the info. next question: is there a chart or page on this forum that lists all compatible, no mods necessary, rear ends for the 2nd gen ram 1500s? What other vehicles can I include in my hunt for a 3.92, 9.25 12 bolt rear end? I think for now I am going to put the donor 3.55 on...

    Axle swap...

    Got a second gen 1500 5.9 auto 4x4 . Stock rear axle was a 3.9. 9.25 12 bolt . Can I put a 3.55 9.25 12 bolt on without doing anything extra? Does the rear axle gear ratio have to match the stock ratio to make 4x4 work without conflict between front and rear axles? Thanks. Dazspaz

    Brake line from truck to axle block rear..info needed please

    I'll post pics as soon as I get home today. I didn't want to post the pictures here cuz I didn't want starting a new thread off of this and are putting stuff in the wrong forum. The diff itself is a 9.25 3.55 12 bolt. The only thing I really have pictures of are the pieces that came out of the...

    No kidding. Wasn't expensive and haven't put any work into it yet. I can sell the two deads I have for scrap and get my cash back. No biggie. Still would like to know if there's anyone on here that is a differential geek .

    Brake line from truck to axle block rear..info needed please

    Didn't realize you could get pre flared line with the nuts already on them in diffo lengths. New brake like from front rear brake proportioning block to rear rubber hose union and a new distribution block (axle splitter). This whole endeavour is all side bits of the original job which is...

    Brake line from truck to axle block rear..info needed please

    Correct me if wrong guys...I think I get it. It's also the breather for the diff so safe to say it may thread into the diff somehow to allow pressure from axle out to breather hose...gonna go soak that bastard too now. Cheers

    Brake line from truck to axle block rear..info needed please

    Thanks for the reply. I already discovered the wrench fitting in the back of that. I soaked the crap out of everything a few days ago with bobcat penetrating oil (my go to) and included that in the soaking just in case .it came loose but the brake line twisted with it and even though it was...

    Brake line from truck to axle block rear..info needed please

    Hey Gang. So I have picked up a replacement rear axle for my 98 ram 1500 4x4 5.9 gasser. I need some insight into how I remove the brake line from the body of the turck to the old axle.
