    Oxidized headlights

    I sand mine with 400grit, then spray on clear enamel. Once the enamel cures (in a few days), put a coat of UV paint sealant... Better than new... and the $6 can of paint will cover about 6 headlights... much cheaper than the 3M kits.

    DIY: Removing Bed and QuadCab to replace Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    Thanks spankis... Fortunately, the body on my Ram has no rust ( at least not yet ). I painted the inside of this front bumper, and the brackets... It looked like hell, but still solid. I saved this truck from the "cancer", just in time. The guy I got this truck from had it sitting for...

    DIY: Removing Bed and QuadCab to replace Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    I stuck 1" length of 5/16" steel-fuel-line into the the block end. The 5/16" line had a flare which the dipstick tube sits in. Fortunately, Dodge bolts the dipstick tube to the engine in 2 places, which keeps it lined-up, solidly. All good.

    DIY: Removing Bed and QuadCab to replace Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    Throughout the process of removing the cab, I was quite pleased with the way Dodge builds these Rams. But now that it is time to replace the rusted brake lines, I've gotten to a "WTH were they thinking?" moment. 3/16" SAE Lines, with 2 sizes of METRIC fittings and 2 different flares. :Insane:

    DIY: Removing Bed and QuadCab to replace Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    Dunno the history of the truck... but my guess would be- it was driven thru salt water and the radiator fan slung it all over. I don't think it was a flood-victim, because the floor pan and rear frame don't have rust.

    Thanks for all your inputs... I'm going with the "grill" paint. I've used that paint on nasty old headers and it bit quite well. The headers get much hotter than this block ever will.
