    Spark Plug Change DIY

    I haven't seen any Attack teams, but there are still TONS of "teams" out here. Primarily the bosozokus (both car and bike now). If only all Americans knew how ridiculous those kids are. Literally the absolute ugliest, most annoying things on wheels in the world. Seriously people, if you have...

    Thoughts on my 04 Ram 2500 build sheet

    i hated the 3.73's in my 2500 for towing. They work great with a diesel, but with an HD hemi truck 4.56's are the way to go. Puts you right into the power band and makes towing a breeze.

    If you do much towing it's worth while.

    confused need help

    The 2500 socks are a couple inches longer, sometimes used to compensate for additional travel when using coil spacers. Sent from my IS12M using Tapatalk 2

    2004 2X4 Ram 1500 Leveling/Lift Confusion!

    if you can pull off spacers or coils you can do the spindle job. just take the spindle off both upper and lower control arms, swap the wheel bearing onto the new spindle and hook it up. not too bad.

    2004 2X4 Ram 1500 Leveling/Lift Confusion!

    I guess there is a new company that is here on the forum offering spindles for cheaper than cst. Look up maxtrac.

    2004 2X4 Ram 1500 Leveling/Lift Confusion!

    Check out CST (California super truck) lifts. Only ever heard good stuff about those. Also, spindles are the way to go because they do not change any of the stock suspension geometry. It just lowers the wheel mounting point, thus giving you lift. Your ride will remain the same as stock.

    2004 2X4 Ram 1500 Leveling/Lift Confusion!

    Premature wear and tear of front end suspension components. I had spacers and had to replace upper ball joints several times. For a 2wd the spindle is your best bet.

    2004 2X4 Ram 1500 Leveling/Lift Confusion!

    A longer coil will be effectively the same as having a spacer. Look into a spindle lift.

    transmission troubles

    i had those same codes once. then my tranny completely ate shit. Hopefully it is something easy though. Might be the solenoid pack.

    2WD Leveling kit

    you will be much better off with spindles. I had 2.5" spacers on my 2wd 2500. Upper control arms and ball joints did not like it at all.

    Transmission fluid exchange question

    the things that "shock" the trans are the trans flushes that are offered through dealerships and jiffy lubes. It runs fresh fluid backward through the trans and gets all the debris caught up and clogged in various places. you can do just a simple pan drop and filter change yes, and it is still...

    Transmission fluid exchange question

    you have to put some serious pressure on those line disconnect tools. dont worry, it wont break your truck. if anything is going to break, it would be the plastic tool.

    Level or Lift '04 5.7 2500

    although if you have a 2wd, i would STRONGLY recommend spindles over spacers. Your ball joints and suspension geometry will thank you.

    Biting the bullet on a edge TC today

    that one ton cooler is awesome. strait plug and play, no mods required. I had both that and the deep finned PML pan. I wouldn't recommend doing both in a cold climate. tranny barely ever reached 150 down in san diego. but it sure kept temps in check towing the 11k lbs horse trailer over a large...

    Level or Lift '04 5.7 2500

    4x4 or 2wd? do a search and find some of my pics. I had 2.5" level up front, blocks in the rear and roughly 34" tires. I thought it looked and acted great.

    Bolt-Ons for '04 5.7L 2500

    i used to have a 2004 5.7l 2500. Pretty much everything performance wise for a 1500 will also work on your 2500. The things that are different are headers, suspension, wheels, axles, etc.

    Spark Plug Change DIY

    you don't need a special tool, just a couple different sized extensions. short, med, long. MAYBE a universal joint. Its basically the same for a 4.7, or any vehicle for that matter. The 4.7 should be easier though, I believe it only has 8 plugs.
