Hello everyone. I'm Jonathan and i live in carlisle pa. I have a '96 1500 2wd w/ a 5.2. I've had the truck for probably around 7 or 8 yrs. now. I bought the truck from a one owner landscaper who used it to tow his 20' landscape trailer. The truck had the typical clear coat issue and an oil leak at the back of the engine. I had the truck re-painted and replaced the rear seal. I still had a small oil leak and that was coming from the back of the intake manifold. It was missing the 2 dowel pins that help to hold that rear gasket in place. Pro comp shocks, firestone air bags and tapered lift blocks on the back, coil spacers up front. I also installed the Tekonsha P3 brake controller with a factory plug in harness (works great).

thanks guys, Anybody know how to fit the newer gen 20" wheels to the front of my '96? the center hole is just a tad smaller in the wheel than the hub dia. near the flange. I think i need to sandwich like a 1/2" spacer in there.
