I believe mine is just over 79" long. Yes I have a LB quad cab, 6 speed. Those guys in Texas were very good to work with. I thought I read a few years back that there was a stock one you could get for the auto trans.

After changing out the first carrier bearing I would lose one every 30K to 40K. Always came apart away from home. I bought an AAM carrier bearing the last time I replaeced it. It looked like a better quality part than the NAPA ones I was using. I didn't drive on it long before I ordered the...

Just shot in the dark, but are the tie rod ends phased? i.e. they aren't in a bind on turning?

It was the clutch position switch. I thought I had bypassed that in all my tests. There was a point where I didn't have the trigger plugged into the starter properly. I bypassed the switch again and she fired right up. The switch looks like water got to it through the firewall. I think I...

I also swapped relays to no effect. I'm just about to put in a switch and push button like my car. It starts right up on the jumper. Just remember to turn the key to on. I'm going to see if I can test the starter switch. Looks like the security module is a separate piece so I don't have to...

New batteries. One was bad. Still no start. No voltage at jumper on start (yellow/brown stripe). Jumpered the clutch lock out, no start. I'm about to get igniton start switch for it. Finally started on jumper to starter.

Yep. Load test next. The starter tested okay at the auto parts store. Don't want to throw parts at it. If the batteries check out. I'm going to try to jump it off the yellow. I think that will bypass the clutch lock out, ignition switch and relay. That will be tomorrow. Thanks for the input...

Batteries are only a couple years old.

Went to start the 04 and nothing. The dash lights all seem normal. The skim light knows the key. There is no noise at all. No buzz, no click. Truck finally started. Then I had to test it so I shut it off. Now it will not start. I will get the starter tested this morning. If that's good...

Great. Thanks for the confidence.

I have heated leather seast in my Ram. I bought the new cushion, but I can't figure out if I can remove the heating unit from the old cushion and put it on the new one. Has anyone had a similar affliction and can shed some light on my predicament?

I used the old school butyal tape that you set windshields with. No more leaking.

I think you'll be good to go with an AAM support bearing. I went thru 2 Napa brand ones in 80,000 miles (for more money too). When I took the 2 piece shaft off my truck to put on my 1 piece driveshaft, the AAM center bearing rubber looked brand new.

My 5" is from Driveshaft Specialist of Texas. I want to say my measurement was 79+" (QCLB). They have a measurement tutorial to get it right. They will stand behind their stuff. I sent mine back just because I thought something was a little off. They paid to send it back and to get it back...

I never would take the time to grease them anyway. Spicer non-greasables for me. Even bought the spicer grease to go with them.
