    You "believe" that the new engine is made in Mexico. Yea, that is unassailable proof! :rolleyes:

    Switched to SD350, 2004 5.9 Maintenace Stuff for Sale

    Perhaps my experience was skewed, having owned only GM pickups in the past, which required no drivetrain or front end work with over 160k on one. The previous owner had replaced the ball joints and hubs at around 93k, and my mechanic said they needed to be done again at 122k. That seems a...

    Switched to SD350, 2004 5.9 Maintenace Stuff for Sale

    He was actually a building contractor, and he did tow a gooseneck trailer with it. However, he couldn't have done too much towing because the computer claimed it had gotten in excess of 19 mpg, and he claimed never to have reset the computer since he owned the truck. When I got the truck it...

    Switched to SD350, 2004 5.9 Maintenace Stuff for Sale

    The guy who I bought the truck from was the original owner. He provided me with all the records, and I put them on an Excel spreadsheet. At the time I traded the truck it was in need of more front end work. Maintenance and Repair Records -- 2004 Dodge Pickup Ram 3500 Oil Changes...

    Switched to SD350, 2004 5.9 Maintenace Stuff for Sale

    I can appreciate your brand loyalty. Everyone wants to believe that their choice, whether it is a truck, car, or motorcycle, is the best choice. Your diatribes criticizing my choosing a Ford will not change anything. The Ford is in the garage (barely) and I will live with the consequences of...

    Switched to SD350, 2004 5.9 Maintenace Stuff for Sale

    I agree that the Cummins is still the best pickup diesel engine around, but it needs to be in something other than a Dodge. In the short time I have owned the Dodge (1. 3 years and 26,000 miles), the engine has been superb. I love the sound and performance of the inline 6. The rest of the...

    It will be hard for you all to believe, but today I am trading my 2004 CTD for a 2011 Ford F350. :confused: I have some CTD stuff left over. [Edited by TDR Administrator - please move "for sale" items to TDR Classifieds]

    Rumble Strip Sounding Vibration When Starting Off

    My 2004 Ram 3500, 4wd, 120k miles, has started a vibration just as it starts moving. It is more pronounced when pulling my 5th wheel, and when turning left. It sounds and feels like the tires are running over rumble strips. The vibration/noise disappears very quickly, probably by the time the...

    Clunking Sound from Left Front

    Update We are now in Watson Lake, camping out at Campground Services. I got an appointment at the Dodge dealer in Sherwood Park, Alberta. They did a front end inspection and found that the link between the pitman arm and the tie rod was wobbling. The mechanic said that this was the subject...

    Clunking Sound from Left Front

    My wife and I are headed to Alaska with our 2004 3500 CTD. We are hearing a clunking sound that appears to be coming from the left front. Most of the time the sound is heard when hitting irregularities on the road, but sometimes it is heard when the road is smooth. The sound resembles...

    Spacers removal for lowering rear end

    Got Her Did I was able to get the bolts out and remove the spacers using lots of penetrating oil, a big hammer, an impact wrench and a little heat. Thanks for your advice.

    Spacers removal for lowering rear end

    My recently acquired '04 3500 4x4 srw short box has been driven in the ice, snow, and salt of Minnesota for 5 1/2 years. Yesterday I started with the driver's side spring and got to the point of removing the bolt that goes through the spring pack (the one with the rounded head). This bolt is...
