Rancho RS5403 steering stabilizer I too just bought a Rancho RS5403 steering stabilizer (it's a RS5000 with adapters) from Sam's Off Road (at their recommendation). Used the Pitman puller to get the old one out (sounded like a gunshot). The tapered adepter is short and not the right taper...

When all else fails go beserk Oh boy your story cracked me up. That kind of thing happens to me more than I like to admit. One of the worst times was changing a pinion (sp?) seal on a Triumph TR6 over my spring break in college. First of all no garage, not many tools, lying in the dirt with the...

My experience with my dealer in Santa Fe NM is so bad that I would hesitate letting them adjust the seat forward or backward. Every time I go in there it's a new service manager and three times I made appointments for a front end alignment, even calling the night before to verify and when I get...

Aren't you worried about using using Mercron/Dexron instead of the +3 or +4? Why would Dodge purposely recommend using an ATF that makes their product perform less than optimally? It's got to be a longevity issue??? PS. This from a guy who was *****ing about the service manuals calling...

I took forever filling mine also because I thought it should hold only 4 quarts. I kept driving around, checking, adding a pint, checking etc. When I got to 5. 5 quarts I was thinking "OK, what could I have screwed up that could cause this?" No large puddles under the truck... no extra parts...

I just changed the transmission fluid in my 2001. 5 4WD RAM for the first time (what a messy pain that is... installed a drain plug from Geno's that should help reduce the mess next time). I ordered the shop manuals for the truck, plus I have a Haynes manual. Both manuals say that for a drain...

I have 22,000 miles on my 2001 and the filter minder hasn't moved either. I pulled it out of the air-filter case and sucked on it to make sure it moves and holds (it does). I think I'll change my filter anyway... it makes me nervous.

I have a 2001. 5 Cummins ETH with about 4500 miles on it. I changed the oil at about 3200 miles and it looked slightly green also. I figured it's OK.

I have a 2001. 5 Cummins with the 3. 5 rear end, quad cab, automatic. I bought the truck in November and now have about 4000 miles. I get between 14 and 16 mpg (according to the computer) in city driving. My best mileage on a trip was 20 mpg. All of this is driving without load (I'm still...

I'm thinking about getting a grill cover to reduce air flow through the radiator during winter months. I presume this would help bring the engine to temperature quicker (I only drive 7 miles to work). Does anybody have any experience with these things? Are there any draw backs or cautions I...
