I ran it back to Mass from West Palm. No problems ran good through the Shenandoah valley home. I got a few questions for you fellow Ram heads. Put the heat on around PA and nothing. The air did work down in Florida. Obviously I need heat up North. Barring the heater core what else could it be? Moving right along, if I put a 2 inch level kit on front do I need to change anything else suspension wise in the front. Of course he wants to get mags and spacers do the spacers effect anything ride wise? Any recommendations for shocks and struts? Also the back suspension seemed a bit jumpy over a bump is that shocks, springs, or both?

Check to see if the blend doors are working. These RAMs are notorious for them breaking. If they are, look for "heater treater" to replace.

The 97-03 F150s had the same problem. I would check that.

If it’s 2wd, I put 3/4 ton shocks up front since the leveling kit took the stock shocks to the top of their range.
This was on a 2006 2wd.

Anybody out there.. I replaced my thermostat and the coolant temperature sensor. The temp gauge goes right to hot. The truck isn't over heating. Anything I missed. Hoses are flowing and no leaking. Is there a fuse for the Temp gauge? I need a working temp gauge!

It was the coolant temperature connector switch. Spliced in the new switch and now have a working temp gauge. I found out that not all after market coolant temp sensors fit properly on the connector.
