    2001 ECM swap into 2002 - Runs Great - No gauges, all Dummy Lights on

    I built a 408 stroker over COVID (March - Current) I have not put the 408 into the truck yet. The truck is a 2002 Ram 1500 4x4 w/ 5.9 Magnum. I bought a SCT 3200, and had a tune created to account for the 408, the new CAM, the new Headers, the new AirGap intake manifold. The tuner...

    2002 Ram 1500 4x4 - BOUNCY and Jarring ride - even with all new parts

    It appears a moderator moved this post back to "exterior" - so we will probably not get any new discussion. When posted in "Exterior" , only 1 person responded. Probably because ride issues are not exterior, and it is a very odd category to be discussing ride quality. So a moderator merged...

    Travelin- it feels (in my butt) to have a rediculous stiff front , and bouncy rear. Hard to tell , but it will make your thigh fat jiggle while cruising on the 15 as the lane has grooves.

    Hmm - can I wrench that funky key without using the torsion tool ? I have seen 2jaw puller type tools used?

    Moezer - I do not know if the torsion bars have been cranked. I do have 10.5 inches measurement from top of tire to fender in the front, and 11.5 from top of tire to fender in the back. The truck has a clear rake, which made me think the truck had not been leveled. I have plans to drop shackle...

    Is this torsion key NORMAL?

    I am looking into ride quality issues, but noticed this odd looking torsion key angle. 1 of the keys looks normal, and this one looks way off. It looks like the design accommodates it, but still very strange. Comments?

    (Note: I know this is a duplicate, I posted accidentally in [interior] for some reason and I couldn't get a moderator to move it). Last year, I bought a 2002 Ram 1500 4x4, the previous owner had a 3" Body Lift on it. 165K, new transmission a few years back - I have receipts. The ride was...

    I should also mention - I did have an alignment after both the tires were installed, and after I replaced all the front end components.

    2002 Ram 1500 4x4 - BOUNCY and Jarring ride - even with all new parts

    Last year, I bought a 2002 Ram 1500 4x4, the previous owner had a 3" Body Lift on it. 165K, new transmission a few years back - I have receipts. The ride was jarring and bouncing. Not enough to pop a drink out of the cupholder, but close to it. Slow speeds are somewhat okay, just a rough...
