    Read my spark plugs for me

    Its either bad eyesight or poor skills in reading pictures vs reality but everytime i pull up any plug residue identification charts and compare them to the plugs in my hand, i end up with something comparable to listing my symptoms into WebMD. Think i have cancer when i actually just have a...

    Ranch hand bumper

    Read my spark plugs for me

    Autozones system recommended bottom shelf plugs so i told him anything NGK. But after a myriad of different failures i could barely keep up with repairs so i just got rid of it. It was fun to drive but a headache to maintain. 3rd german car, 3rd time ive sold it due to cost of maintenance.

    Brake bleeding

    I circled the warning in the last pic because its easily missed if your just flying through it. When the procedure starts, its going to suck in your brake pedal and if your not ready for it you will probably **** your pants like i almost did. It was kinda violent Also, when its done, it will...

    Some parts are getting hard to find

    The worst part about doing a junk yard part resto is getting to the car first. If you dont have it already, download the "Row 52" app. It searches local yards up to 500 miles away for what vehicle you need. 21 98-01 ram 1500s near me.

    5.9 V8 not starting

    Codes? Since ether didnt do anything, dont worry about fuel. Since the original problem was no spark, most likely the cap and rotor is what fixed it. Since you changed everything, double verify your firing order. This diagram is for your truck, 2003 5.9. Sometimes people get confused which...
