    Rebuild Front End

    Apex chassis ball joints are ones I'm currently eyeing but wasn't sure how good they were. I found a set of wheel bearings for $350, which is what I've been seeing those run. Not sure on brand though. I've been seeing a lot of bad on moog so I'll be staying away from those.

    Rebuild Front End

    Im chasing a few issues on the front end of my 17 2500 tradesman. One of those being that ball joints are going bad. Since all the parts are all stock still, were looking at rebuilding the front end to get ahead of any major issues. And I'm using it more and more for pulling so figured now is a...

    Front axle

    Haha not replacing the truck. It's got less than 80,000 on it and is otherwise a great truck. Been a very reliable vehicle and one we needed. I did send the pictures to another shop and he wants to look at it before even considering a new axle and ball joints. I'd be more comfortable getting a...

    Front axle

    Yeah I looked at it better here and your right. It is the axle tube. Unfortunately those were the best pictures I could get of it. I may start shopping around for a new axle. Hate to replace it but doesn't sound like I really got a choice, especially since I plan to keep the truck for a long...

    Front axle

    The axle I do know what that is. Do you have a manual you recommend? And definitely, that is thing I'm trying to avoid. Being a woman in this world of trucks definitely puts me in the way of bei taken advantage of by a holes. Which is why I'm trying to learn about this stuff.

    Front axle

    I've went back over it several times and I think it's the frame. But I'm not sure either.

    Front axle

    Ahhh, okay. I don't know much about suspension and kits so wasn't sure. With the pictures I posted, is that for sure the axle or is it more the frame? Probably a stupid question but I am trying to learn and figure out exactly what I'm looking at

    Front axle

    Just going back and rereading comments on here. I plan to keep the truck for as long as I can. It's a great truck apart from this whole front end deal. Seriously thinking about a rebuild on the front end. I've got a message into a shop locally and sent the same pictures to them. Went and...

    Front axle

    Yeah I actually read that article last night. We've got a actual alignment shop we're gonna take it to and they said the adjustable ball joints was a definite without even looking at it..

    Front axle

    Haha good one. Just seems like with as thick of a axle as it is, it'd be alright. I've heard say they can bend dents like that out on semis so surely the same is true for this.

    Front axle

    Hi all. I have a 2017 2500HD tradesman. Had the truck around 6-7 months. I had to replace the tires and get alignment on it here the first part of the year. Long story short, I had to put a new drag link on because the truck fell into the drag link recall. Dealer put it on and then said they...

    Molding for a 2017 ram tradesman

    You all have been quite helpful so here's another question. I need to replace this molding on my doors. Both front doors to be exact. I'm having a brain fart and can't seem to figure out how to know which part to get. Or even where to go to get it. Any help? Thanks!

    Coil spacers and springs

    2017 ram 2500 tradesman. What's you guys thoughts on this? Is the coil spacers installed correctly? Someone said the springs are bowed heavily. What's your thoughts? We finally figured out that it has a leveling kit on it. First picture is driver's side, second is passenger side and the last...

    Turn on fog lights

    Thanks for the info. I'll definitely keep it in mind. I'll have to do some checking on my plugs and see what they are.

    Turn on fog lights

    yes, thats about all i can figure out is that it is a aftermarket bumper. and no, my headlight switch doesnt have the option to push it in for fog lights. and i cant find a switch for it otherwise. i may end up hooking them up myself if i want the fog lights. i do want to add extra lights anyway.

    Turn on fog lights

    I'll have to check under the hood and see if they maybe put something there. I didn't get that far when I checked.

    Turn on fog lights

    I apologize for not getting on here sooner. I wasn't receiving notifications that I was getting replies lol anyway, I did crawl underneath the truck and check. They are not wired in but there is a plugin on each of them which I would assume would be a way to wire them in if there was a way to...

    Turn on fog lights

    thank you all for your recommendations. i will stick my head under the bumper and see if i can find wires for the fogs. some of you said the bumper looks factory, i dont know what factory usually is on these particular trucks but mine is a metal bumper. one of you said if they are wired in, look...

    Turn on fog lights

    I honestly don't know. It had been in a fender bender, nothing to make air bags deploy. So I think the bumper is a aftermarket..I'll have to check and see if they even are wired.

    Turn on fog lights

    Mine has the off road package in it. but also has a lot of after market add ons to it as well. so its definitly possible that the fog lights are aftermarket.
