This is what I found on the alignment for 2003-2009. Little confusing though, Line #8 for diesel engine stay on lower end of caster, line #10 for stock tires stay on the higher end. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0510/0529/2724/files/2003-2009_2500_3500.pdf?v=1638206406

On my 2013 the lower are tubular and the upper are stamped rectangular type. What is the consensus on the alignment after getting rid of the Y style? I have read a few posts about Thurens specs, is it better than factory settings?

The stamped can be had on Rockauto for $54 each, don't know anything about Mevotech.

Yo Hoot, you're not too far I'm in Chandler

Topzide, I tighten my grip on the wheel and cringe every time I see a bump coming in the 13, the darn thing is just rough. My wife does not like riding in the 13 at all because of the ride, the highways in the DFW area are crap and beat up. Picked up the 04 because I missed having a manual and...

My 04 has the original pressed metal control arms, I can replace them with new ones or go for the tubular style that is available. Just curious if there is a difference in ride quality between the two. I have my 04 and a 2013 and the 13 is rough on the front even with all new parts and being...

If I understand correctly the upper arms have nothing to do with front end alignment just support? My upper arms are good for now and will be replaced later.

Getting ready to changer out the lower control arms and have read about the cam/ concentric bolts can be an issue removing. I have been searching for replacements, if I need to cut one or both does anyone have a source for these things?

I have been reading about cross over steering kits the past few weeks. Since the T style is an improvement over the Y, would the cross over steering be an improvement over the T style?

Probably been asked and answered a few times on the 08 T style upgrade for these trucks but, been searching and reading till my eyes are tired. At least here it's easier to get better opinions and ideas. Other than the Carlis, Thuren, Synergy and such that are out of my price range currently, my...

My 04 has one on it, stock coils and ride height with no issues

With the higher prices on these trucks, emissions systems, hydraulic roller lifters and now glow plugs if true makes me want to stay with the old school stuff. I like to do my own work as much as I can and with all the new gadgets and gizmos these days it's getting to where you need an expensive...

Update on this. Wednesday I disconnected both batteries for two hours, after hooking them up the problem was still there. Today, I started the truck still had the same issue until the grid heaters turned off. Once the grid heaters kicked off everything smoothed out, back to normal. I drove the...

Tuesdak, we moved back home to Texas just outside Chandler. Not sure if I should drive it or not, curious if I pulled the injectors if they can be tested that way?

I might see if I can find a mobile tech in my area instead of hauling it to a dealer to diagnose it, not sure which would be easier on the wallet. If I were still in CO I know a guy that could do it for cheap. Need my 2013 to sell so I can do what needs to be done with the 04
