Sounds reasonable for an upgraded transmission, I paid about the same 2 years ago.

I don't think it does a lot, otherwise most would have it from factory then.

Most people nowadays have a smartphone or a tablet.

No, what is say is you can't buy stamped ones from Mopar as replacement, they don't make them anymore (years ago!) and the partnumber supercedes to the Mopar tubular ones - specifically made for the Gen3 platform. I changed mine roughly 10 years ago and even back then it was the same...

AlfaOBD, 50$, is the way to go with any Mopar product. Why pay more for less.

Thuren is the Gold standard, Factory settings are pure crap.

If you want to go aftermarket sure, OEM is tubular for many years now.

Stock replacement arms are tubular now.

I wonder why Ram didn't do that with the Power wagon which is also 2" taller.

I replaced my stock ones with the upgraded OEM tubular ones, years ago - truck drives totally the same.

If it is out of stock you probably have a better chance to have the one fixed you have. I waited more then half a year for my new one after I ordered it.

I was just looking up that Moog Kit - this is for an MY 09-11 how did you come up with the idea that this fits your 98?

I see that you are used to light duty vehicles where stuff starts to fail at the milage you mentioned - this isn't the case with our vehicles, they are much better lasting most of the time. Sure stuff can fail but there isn't a ticking clock that tells you now is the time as you are used to.

Well, you likely don't have the factory steering Box then? That comes to mind if so many different pitman arms don't fit. And as a Note, 98.5 - 00 24V came factory with a T-steering linkage. Maybe yours was converted to that?

Rear wheel bearings usually last the life of the truck as they run submerged in the differential oil. Very few problems there and if then it is the seal to start leaking. Factory alternator is also very long lasting.
