    Brakes, Rust, Cables and Starter Motor questions (Long)

    Ha ha. I know that feeling. I'll be doing a deep dive on the truck this weekend and making a list of parts that I will replace. I'll try to take some pictures. This vehicle's mission will be to transport, launch and haul out my boats around Cape Cod. It will be in the salt water for sure...

    Brakes, Rust, Cables and Starter Motor questions (Long)

    Thanks McBroom. I'll try to post some pictures. I'm not sure how this ended up in exteriors. I'm sure I posted it in the General Discussion section.

    please help diagnos noise

    Just another diagnostic tip. You could remove the belt, or loosen it enough that you can turn all the accessories by hand. Get a feel for them when they are warmed up. The next morning, open the hood before you start it and give everything a turn and see if anything feels different.

    Greetings from a new 2005 Hemi owner.

    Thank you for the reply. The biggest is a Parker 21 SC. It has a two axle Karavan trailer. Boat and trailer will be around 4500#. I'm picking it up from them on January 1. I would like to change out the pan and fluid, but does this tranny model have the slipping problem that can occur when...

    Greetings from a new 2005 Hemi owner.

    Hello everyone. I just bought a 2005 1500 5.7 from my Son's +1. She inherited it and they needed to get rid of it. I've been looking for an older truck to tow my boats, so I thoughts I'd throw them a few more bucks than they would have got from Craigslist and give it a try. If it doesn't...
