    C'mon FCA. 70,000 miles really??

    I have lived in the salt belt all my life, but have never had a failed suspension component due to rust through. This is only 70,000 miles. i got a used one off of a 2014 with 40,000 miles to install. I treated it with some rust treatment then a thin undercoat.

    Ball Joint Press

    Has anyone ever had any issues with a ball joint press not being wide enough to press in the lower ball joint? All the ones I can rent are 6" wide (C-press). That isn't wide enough to put the cap on top of the control arm and press it in from the bottom. Am I missing something? Any...

    Front Stabilizer Bushings

    Anyone know off hand what size the OEM front stabilizer bar is? 32mm or 36mm? I wanted to order some Mevotech bushings from RockAuto, but it is listing two different diameters. Thanks

    Mevotech’s back in stock.

    Ordered and received. Took about 20 minutes a side to replace. Careful with the Zerk fitting. Busted one off with too much torque. Had to extract what little thread was left. I had some 6mm grease fittings from Orielly that fit just fine.

    Strange clunking sound coming from steering rack area when hitting pothole.

    I have a 2013 Express with the same issue. Feels and sounds like a worn u joint in the steering column . I can hear it inside the cab. Perhaps there is a parts diagram to see the steering linkage from the steering wheel down through the firewall to diagnose. Im getting sick of it

    Stock suspension replacements

    Just seeking some feedback about good choices for replacing front and rear shocks. I am not lifting or lowering my truck. I have a leaking strut up front and want to go with something new. Moog? I like the Bilsteins's but I don't have the tools to remove and add the coil over. The Moog...

    Autoheadlight Sensor

    Any one have trouble with the autoheadlight sensitivity? Or lack, thereof? With the switch in the auto position, my headlights are still on throughout the day. Sometimes, they will be on in the garage, and turn off when I back out of the garage into daylight, but turn back on in the middle of...

    How To Add Heated/Ventelated seats and Heated Wheel to Express/Tradesman

    Ditto that. The harness from m2 mods is oem quality. Plus the labels on the wires will make it almost as easy as plug n play. Well worth it in my opinion.

    2016 Ran 1500 Sport HID's

    JJ at Retro Shop. Morimoto kit 35w 5500k. No problems. I was going to put LED in but switched to HID. I put the GTR gen 3 LED's in the fogs from headlightrevolution. Insane light output now. Nobodys been flashing me.

    Morimoto HID question

    It was a bad connection I think from the Ballast to the Canbus adapter. I just unbolted the light and let the bulb hang a bit and turned on the lights. I got a 2 second fire up like a photo flash. I disconnected and regreased all ballast and ignitor connections and it works great now.

    Morimoto HID question

    Question on the upgrade. I just finished converting my Quads into TYC projectors with the morimoto HID kit from retroshop. WOW. Awesome lighting. However, I have had a few instances where one side won't fire up. I come back an hour later, then it will fire up again. I have been driving for...

    Laramie heated cooled leather seat cost

    Bummer. It's on it's way. Didn't get logged back into the forum before I bought. I have seen these insanely prices on eBay before. Sets around 2500 and higher so I thought it was a good deal. Well I will just have to find a passenger somewhere at a salvage yard. You know the urge when you...
