Transmission side or Differential side?

Transmission side is a piece of cake. Pinion seal...... not so much.

I think you just solved my air bag problem lol

Seems to be a very common problem on our trucks as they're getting older. $54 at my local dealer and they have one in stock. I told the parts guy that whoever designed a system where if the lightbulb goes out and it kicks the warning light, but decided not to make the lightbulb a serviceable part was not a friend of mine right now.

Yea I didn't think they are filled with anything...coming transmission side

That's an easy fix. Take the driveshaft out, pull the old seal, press in the new seal and reinstall the driveshaft. If the driveshaft bolts don't fight you too bad, it's an easy job that shouldn't take long at all. The part is under $5 from Rockauto.

I just replaced my ujoints and would strongly suggest heat when doing it made a huge difference

I don't have that problem, I cant turn off the pass side airbag - no switch for it.

That's because you have those big rear doors instead............

It's all about having to put children in the truck, especially in a car seat.

I'm searching for a reasonably priced 04-05 3500 2WD Megacab dually right now. Finding an 04-05 Dually is no problem. Finding a Megacab Dually is tough. Finding a Megacab dually that the owner doesn't think is made of gold is impossible, it seems.

Discovered today where I need to trim my fenders since my in we fender on the drivers side is now protruding out in the fender and starting to eat it away.

Since I'm pretty sure the mega cab wasn't an option til 06, I don't think your gonna find that truck.

Well, that would explain why I'm having such a tough time finding one . I've found only a few 06-08s, but the owners want over $25k for them. I'm not paying that much for a truck that's 10 years old and has 150k miles on it.

Good luck buddy, they're all over priced these days.

That's the most true statement. I bought mine with 57k miles in 2010 from a ford dealer for 8750. Same truck as mine now with I think it was 109k miles(I have just under 115k) at a dealer for 8900!! I kick myself I should of bought a numbered truck or at least a slt.

I didn't get anything done to the truck today at all. I was too busy laughing at a certain thread on here and was just waiting for more responses.
