So I have not posted for a while - truck was in great order.
Someone hit me on the side of my truck with the side of their car.
Wheel alignment is out, rear axle is pushed over, and hitting holes or bumps very bad.
The tranny and engine is also acting up.
Front bumper, hood and grill damaged -...
As it says i'm looking to buy a newer or new truck.
Im looking for feedback on how good the trucks are & what years are best.
The only reason im looking for maybe a new truck, because the deals they have going on & I then know no one has abused it.
I will be going with a V8 (6.4L or 5.7L) or...
Ok so winter is here, last week was my last ride.
I am always looking for better winter weight for my truck & this year I have just over 300 lbs - 1 X 04 Honda Rebel 250 & of course in black & chrome.
Leveled my truck better - see pics.
So I scrapped off the bubbling paint from over the rear drivers quarter.
Way worse than I thought.
How far do I have to go so the rust does not come back?
Ok was driving & doing errands today, blower motor working good - no problems.
Then after dropping stuff at home, got back in the truck & blower motor does not do anything.
Checked the #4 fuse, even swapped it with another & still nothing.
Im guessing its mot the switch or resistor.
So...
First off there a lot of work to make a 2016 grill fit a 3rd gen.
1 - disassemble the whole grill
2 - you will not need the back piece that has the mounting brackets to the truck.
3 - you will need to cut or sand down the grill shell to fit the truck.
4 - then you will need to cut the...
In the spring I want to replace the valve lash adjusters.
My question is to go with Solid or hydraulic.
1 - Has anybody installed solid Valve Lash Adjusters????
2 - Are solids good??
3 - Or stay with hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters????
Have you put more Money into you truck than what you paid for the truck
I paid $3500 for mine.
I have spent $6100+ & I have receipts for most except Kijiji.
It adds up fast!!
& im including what I sold from the truck as well.
OK I have the stock rear shackles, u-bolts & plate, bump stops(front & rear) & other misc stuff.
Should I throw away?
Keep - don't want to.
Does somebody want this stuff?
off my 04 1500.
I don't ever want to go back to stock.
Just dump???
Ok I cut off the muffler & back, & it has an awesome sound at idle & just off idle but it does drone at higher RPM 2300 - 2800 then goes away.
I do not plan on keeping it like this.
#1 on poll - I can do it the easy way & see how it sounds, it would be put it out to the side just in front...
Ok awhile ago, I took out the stock air box.
& still cannot get the bracket that held the air box out.
I took out the two top bolts & the 2 lower bolts
Any ideas?????????
Ok I lowered my 04 ram 1500 & the stock bump stops are so close to touching, I want to buy others that are about 1" shorter than stock.
which one are good & I have not measured the length of stock ones yet - still resting from the front end work I did on Thursday & Friday.
& I do know I will...
I was going to change the lower ball joints today.
But could not get it to separate from the knuckle, tried a manual fork & a air hammer & just could not get it to let go.
Am I doing something wrong?
now what I did was take tires off undue the put the fork in & didn't release.
I tried...
I ordered 2" lowering shackles
but was also thinking about taking out the lowest leaf - see pic
What will this do?
Other than gain some more drop.
ive had 1/2 tons that don't have that leaf (chevy's) & them worked fine.
Just looking for info before I do something that could be bad...
I have an option of getting a 5.9l cummins .
Its actually the whole truck 2011 1ton rolled, but still runs & drives, but not repairable.
Now is it better to swap motor & tranny or swap the body after going to frame shop.
The truck is $4000.
Which is the better way to go, or don't...
Got my emblem in the mail, cleaned it up, now just want to see where people think where is good placement.
Options are by pics

Ok so I got a OBDII digital gauge today & noticed the TPS does not 0% out or 100% out.
Mine reads closed 11.4% & maxes out @ 74%
is this normal???
The truck idles ok & accelerates ok Also starts good.
I don't know if this is normal or if I need to reset the TPS.
Ok so I was looking for a Tuner/programmer but coming from the USA
its - Currency conversion - hitting hard right now.
- Then duties & brokerage fees
- & not cheap shipping.
I found PartsEngine.ca - Canada's leading site for Truck & Auto Accessories on Kijiji this morning & they...
When I was @ the tranny shop yesterday, I noticed the was some kind of tape over some body holes & others are off or coming off.
Is this for preventing rust?

This is my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 2wd 6.5' box.
Pics will be the way I got.
Took the Front seats out to clean it properly.
