well heating will help, but do not overheat the axle or knuckles, there are some good threads on how to do the ball joints, like I said, I did not remove the front dually spacers, which makes the rotor/hub assembly heavy! if he can do ball joints in a car, he can do them on a truck, if htere...

the dodge dealer here quoted 1600 to replace all four ball joints, being a retired mechanic I decided to do it myself, (I started off in a front end sop back in the days of king pins <g>) back to the job, I had some help from my son for the heavy stuff, I did not take the adapters off...

and see I was reading somewhere the cam was different 04. 5 up, I have not read about the rokktech sensor, why do you prefer the increases with the JR, because it does more than effect timing? thanks again

I have read someplace and can not find it now, someone had changed the timing by the crankshaft position, doing this by enlarging holes on the pulley and turning it?, I assume they were advancing the fuel timing this way? I have also read about our later model camshafts being a culprit in...

Thanks, now I found it!

what tire are you running a 22. 5 semi tire?

can I ask what the patc conversion is for our auto? all I can find is for the 727TF, my '06 has the 48re thanks

I had the michelin ltx at2's on my last truck, 75k miles on them when i sold the truck

If ya can help here , can I ask what this may do to mpg? from my drive ability background on gassers it would only make sense that less smoke would mean less unburnt fuel, which should help mpg even if slightly, I'm still trying to decide if the smarty or edge would make any difference in...
