    bad axle bearing?

    In my 96 ram 2500 4wd I'm getting a vibration that I can feel throughout the truck and in the pedals and steering wheel. It isn't very bad but gets worse when turning right and goes away when turning left. I was thinking driver side front axle bearing gone bad? What else could it be?

    center consol ripped

    The leather that is on the center consol lid in my truck is ripped on the corners of each side where you'd rest your arm and it looks really ugly. Not too big of a deal, but I'm just wondering what the best way to make it look nice is. Maybe try to rewrap it with some other material? Thanks

    My 96 ram 2500 with a 12 valve currently has a 7 inch side dump straight pipr exhaust which is a bit too loud for me and any neighbors within a half mile. I want to change it to just a 4 inch straight pipe with maybe a 5 inch tip. Where's the best place to get the material for this and is it...

    I have to give my 96 12v a little bit of throttle every time I start it or it will crank for a while before it starts.

    fuel leak no start

    Can a fuel leak where the line from the lift pump connects to the top of the fuel filter/ water separator cause the truck to not start? The filter is definitely getting fuel as it is over flowing but I try to bleed the injectors and no fuel. Could air getting onto the system cause this?
