    Violent Shaking, but strictly @ 1600-1800rpms

    I was thinking at the start that I had the same exact issue, but I'm not sure after reading the whole thing. But to avoid making a new thread for my issue, did you ever try turning O/D off??? My issue is it is pretty shaky at idle, especially while letting off the brake but without adding gas...

    Steering shaft seal doesn't fit?

    Well we decided to just replace the box. I ordered one off of rock auto in hopes that it was actually more remanufactured than the Autozone ones, and turns out it doesn't fit either. The shaft is too big. The steering coupler I ordered doesn't fit either... Something has been swapped at some...

    Steering shaft seal doesn't fit?

    I have tried two different seal kits and both of them are too big... all the parts places only list the one size and they haven't been working. The previous owner must have replaced at some point with something weird. Here is a picture of the seal and the numbers that were written on it. Any...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

There was a wire hanging down from behind the headliner with a plug that didnt go to the mirror, and the overhead...

    Just bought my first Ram... now what?

    Thanks! I'll be looking for that sticky. Also, yes it's an automatic. My car is stick and wife doesn't like driving it so I figured the truck should be auto so we both have access to it. But I may fall under the "don't do it" camp on this topic. I agree with all your points, but for what I'm...

    Just bought my first Ram... now what?

    Hey guys, first post here. I just bought my first truck in general earlier this week. I'm excited to not have to rely on friends/family any more for "truck stuff". This will not be my primary vehicle so won't be getting a ton of miles. Its a 1996 1500 with the 5.2 SLT Lariat with 183k on clock...
