1997 Ram 2500 Ball Joints - 4850 LB axle or 4500 LB axle?
Hey all. My 97 2500 5.9 V8 with the 8,800 LB GVW needs drivers side ball joints. Rock Auto lists options for a 4,500 LB front axle weight rating and a 4,850 LB weight rating. However, one of the ball joints listed (supposedly) fits both axles. After some research, because of my 8800 GVW, I...- Lethalweapon100

Changing transmission fluid for the first time since ? - Good or bad?
What if i dont know the history, it works fine, but the fluid smells burned and looks like crap? I mean, dropping the pan and giving it a good clean/band adjustment and then changing the fluid again in 5-10K miles is what I would do. And then follow a regular, longer change interval after that...- Lethalweapon100

The one I have is the stock pan with a hole drilled in it with some sort of drain plug contraption. Not sure who makes it, but it sure is handy. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk- Lethalweapon100

Going to look at a 1993 W250 12 Valve - What to look for?
Hey everybody. I might be trading my 2nd gen 2500 V8 for a 1993 W250 with a 12 Valve. It has 176K, automatic, 4x4, and so far that's all the info i've gotten from the guy. Obviously working on that. Now I know my 2nd gens inside and out, I've been working on cars and trucks for a long time...- Lethalweapon100

Changing transmission fluid for the first time since ? - Good or bad?
Hey everybody. This question kind of applies to any 46/47/48 RE/RH transmission. When I got my truck it had 205K on the clock, probably its 2nd 46RE. So, I dropped the pan and changed the fluid and filter. Since I did it the first time, I try to do it at least once every 12K. My pan has an...- Lethalweapon100

97 2500 5.9 v8 no start after rebuild
I had the ECU out of the 97, and now the brand new one meant for a 97 as well. All i swapped was hard parts, every single electronic part on the engine belongs to the 1997. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk- Lethalweapon100

97 2500 5.9 V8 No start after rebuild - No power to coil
Yes. The 95 engine did not come with one, so I replaced it with the one of the 97, the one that was originally in the truck. I also used the flexplate off the 97 as well. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk- Lethalweapon100

Hi all. My 228K Mile Ram 2500's 5.9 V8 was getting old and tired, and i dont have time or money to pick up something newer, so I bought a cheap and lower milage 5.9 V8 out of a 95 and went through it with all new gaskets/seals/etc and verified that it was healthier than the old engine. It...- Lethalweapon100

Finding Cyl 1 TDC with no distributor?
Found my problem regarding the distributor being 180 off. I got the timing mark lined up on Cyl 1 TDC Compression stroke, and the rotor was pointed 180 degrees off from the cyl 1 mark with the dist in the stock position (meaning cyl 1 mark around 7:30), And then it hit me. I just pulled the...- Lethalweapon100

Finding Cyl 1 TDC with no distributor?
I ended up doing just that, and found that that large mark is indeed cyl 1 TDC. Now hear this out everybody, heres the next strange problem im encountering. When I replaced the Tchain and sprockets on this engine, I found that the cam was off by 180 degrees. Rather than have the crank...- Lethalweapon100
