I suggest having a new return spring on hand. It is a $5 part that no brick and morter has in stock when you need it. If you have to order one it will add a day to your replacement. ( Don't ask me how I know ) I have been really liking mine this past year. Smooth engagement, a bit more pedal...

I've had friends "upgrade" to 4th gens. I have told them all the same things... Enjoy the refinements. Don't expect to keep the same resale value. 4th gen is an unknown commodity. Emissions, electronics, complexities, etc... The 06 mega cab with the 5.9 and a 6 speed has a bit more value than...

Hello Sven, sorry it took so long to reply. I see that you have an 04 versus my 04.5. I am jealous... my oil gets dirty so quickly. Upon replacing my stock 2 piece with the 1 piece aluminum, upgrading my clutch , and checking/servicing my front driveshaft, I have determined that it will never...

Ha !!! Those Chevy people... 1st move after the crime was shut that camera down. What happened after, we can only speculate. :-D

Assembled in Mexicali. Parts are from all over.

You should get new banjo bolts with your new/rebuilt calipers. period. They are hollow bolts and are cheap. They are not designed to be retorqued a half dozen times. They need to be torqued a certain amount to flatten the new crush washer. Imagine that you are 40 miles from your nearest Napa...

Hey- I do the speed limit and I have a valid fishing license ( in my possession ) That's my story and I'm sticking to it...:-laf

There's nothing cooler than blue lights at night.:cool: Underwater and under gunnel lights on your boat, dash and dome lights in your truck.... just not any whatsoever in your rear view. #@$%! Be aware that they can possibly affect your REM sleep.:mad: 03-05 trucks use 11 B8.5's in the...

What everyone else said :) And if that is your original water pump, you might consider replacing it with a cummins part. Along with a flush and fill. Thermostat and hoses would not hurt either on your 04.5. Do all those at home.

That would be awesome, especially if they could use a thicker sheetmetal.... unlike the ding magnets on my longbed. My truck had the fender liners from the factory and they really seemed to help. The insides of my wheelwells are all super clean behind those liners. The original owner did...

For that kind of expense( changing gear ratios ) you would be money ahead by installing a Spyntec manual hub lockout. You're mileage, driveability, and front axle component life all go up. Wheel bearings last longer and are cheaper to replace. Still want to change gear ratios? Go with...

Make sure the little plastic check valve is still present in the outer end of the hose. Mine mounts to the side facing the rear of truck, near the top of the shock tower. Look straight down along the inside edge of battery, next to the positive terminal. Driver side. Mine looks like there is...

That's funny right there. Wonder what Sergio thinks about that ?

Don't forget the specific tools and instructions to perform the specific repairs.

I carry a spare belt tensioner. That seems to be the first thing to go in the pulley system. If that is your original water pump and coolant- I would consider changing it out at home. Then carry a spare. Use the better quality pump for your reinstall. I also carry the alternator rebuild kit...

I purchaced a 24J last year and am still very happy with it. I use a 1200/12000 lb Equalizer hitch. It has a better frame than most. I recently upgraded to 16" wheels from the 28F and Bridgestone Duravis R250 235 /85 / R16's. I put an 8oz counteract balance bead bag in each and inflated to...

Make sure when you purchace rebuilt calipers that you receive new banjo bolts. You can reuse the old ones if you are careful, but, at some point they are just DONE. I painted my calipers pre-install with Dupli Color silver caliper paint. ( Amazon ) Rear axle with POR- 15 process.

Brakes are one of the things that they did right on the 3rd gens. Make sure you get the OEM premiums online for brake pads. Dodge dealers along with Genos have a budget version that will not last as long as originals. Mine lasted 150000 miles. I recently replaced mine with OEM premium pads and...

Those 2" soft ride springs look like just what the doctor ordered. A full blown Carli system would be sweet... but the cash has to go every where else first.( shop,house, 2nd car, food... haha) Am curious what else is required to make these work on a stock truck. I have some 5100's that...

The Ohio DOT uses Fluid Film on their state trucks every season. They spray magnesium chloride deicer on their roads all winter long.
