I'm new to the forum but have had my 2004 Ram since 2010 with 43k miles. It's a Hemi Quad Cab with a MOPAR CAI and Hypertexh Power Programmer III. It was perfect until the hail storm of the century pummeled it [emoji15] only 3 years after I bought it. It has seen multiple tire changes and different directions in style before settling on what it is today.
In the last 2 months it has received a multitude of parts.
Brake pads and rotors followed by new tires
2 weeks later the water pump started weeping (112k miles) so it was replaced with a new belt
Within a week the power steering pump started leaking so I replaced it along with the alternator (noisy bearings) and both idlers. Which led to laying next to ball joints that I noticed had holes in the boots.
I then replaced the upper and lowers, tie rod ends and ordered 3" lift spindles from Airbagit (less expensive than CST) and 2" drop shackles for a 2nd gen ram (raises a 3rd gen). I finished that install up 2 weeks ago, did a string alignment and drove it to the shop for a professional alignment.
I picked up the tonneau from Craigslist for $200 (NIB) and have been gathering body parts to have painted to get the body square away again.
Let me know what you think
