    Rear leaf spring R&R

    Not sure the pcm regulator is gone for sure, but voltage was dropping out. Battery cables looked good but I will go over them again. Need to get the batteries load tested also. They are fairly new, probably less than a year, and I have had them go dead just from the truck sitting. All winter...

    Rear leaf spring R&R

    Truck pulled great. Only problem was the battery gauge was showing 18+ volts for a while. I installed an adjustable voltage regulator a month ago. The volt gauge would drop to 8 sometimes, and I would have to rev it up to get it back charging. Its better, but not totally gone. This is the first...

    Rear leaf spring R&R

    7 bolts, a couple wire connectors, fuel filler neck and tail lights . I think I had this ready to come off in less than an hour. Took longer to take my twin 102" whips and mounts off. Yes 7 bolts. The second one I took off I broke. I didn't realize that when I set the impact gun down, after the...

    Rear leaf spring R&R

    How many bolts hold the bed on? I have a non rusted bed that has to go on anyway, so I guess its a good time. Colors don't match. But it came with the truck.

    Anybody have any tips or tricks on replacing the rear leaf springs on a 2001 Ram 3500 dually. Seems the fuel tank is in the way of removing the front spring hanger. Broke the left spring at the rear bushing. Not loaded. Been driving it since October and then it just breaks. Bought new front and...

    Possible low power steering assist fix

    Old box back on. Ps is better above idle. At idlebis a bit better. Wanders just like always. And now I found my track bar is loose . The tapered I hole that the track bar fits into on the frame I think has been opened up. I had to put washers under the nut when I put it on so it would pull up...
