That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Harbor freight has several different ones for under $50. I was looking at one with a worm/screw drive, and with a little modification, I could power it with a cordless drill. Wouldn’t even have to crank it LOL.

I dont think a drill would have enough torque to pull it. But what would work is a longer crank handle(easy to make) or a comealong.

Worked on leveling out the Ram today. Took 1 coil off the left rear and 1.5 off the right rear. Still high on the right rear about 1/4 inch but I expect that to be more normal for any truck. So I am now that I am down 6" in the rear I also removed the rear bump stops so to have more travel. The ride is real good and smooth though on a hard dip in the road I do rub the left rear wheel well on top and I also do the left front. I guess it due to all the extra weight on the left side. Will work on that over the next few weeks.

Also dropped the little guy off at the doggie spa today, he loves to ride it dads Ram!

Changed out the old and broken exhaust manifold bolts with some stainless steel problem solvers. 6abcbf01ec8fa95473458e322fcc2baa.jpg

Had to take the wife's car in to get a recall done. Getting into a 2012 Kia Soul for the first time in nearly two years? Felt like putting on a pair of pants getting in the thing, and it was a righteous pain in the ass to drive overall at the speeds I'm used to... like I was driving a go-cart.

Glad to be home again, though.
