    Front wheel hubs

    The left front wheel hub on my 03 is shot. The right front seems fine. At 168k, should I just do both and get it over with? I just replaced the front shocks (which led to the bad hub discovery). Probably need stabilizer ends but the ball joints and tie rods look/feel ok. I found a set of hubs...

    Front axle woes

    What causes this? Never seen it before... Note: not my truck. It's from a local listing on Facebook Marketplace.

    47RE issue

    My poor '03 hasn't seen much use since fuel prices went out of sight back in the spring. The old girl is definitely showing her age but is still fairly solid. Rear fenders have perf'd through and the paint (clearcoat) is bad in several spots but she still runs ok for 168k on the clock. Now, it...

    03 needs U-Joints

    Pretty sure it's time for u-joints on the rear driveshaft. I can see clean, shiny metal at the cups and there's a "squeak" in reverse. Having trouble locating a part number... 03 QCSB, 5.9, 47RE, 165k+, 1-piece driveshaft w/front damper. Should I stick with OEM or is there an acceptable...

    Email bouncing?

    Got this in my alerts just now: Any idea what causes this? No issues with my email that I'm aware of.

    Trailer suspensions

    I'm looking for a 10000 GVWR wood deck tandem axle car hauler or equipment trailer primarily to haul my new John Deere 1025R tractor. I don't think a 6k or 7k trailer gives me enough cushion with a 3000-3500 lb machine plus a couple of additional implements. Anyway, I'm confused by the...

    Transmission Fluid/Filter change = more MPG?

    I've had my '03 for 3-1/2 years. It has NEVER gotten better than 15.3 MPG on the lie-o-meter in the console. Two weeks ago I changed the transmission fluid & filter, and adjusted the bands per the FSM. I also drained & filled the diff's. With about 300 miles since the service the lie-o-meter is...

    Spent the weekend laboring on the ‘03

    Did an oil/filter change, new fuel filter, and front & rear differentials. Air filter should be here mid-week, and I still have the transmission filter and fluid change to do. Easiest task? Removing the reusable differential gaskets. They’re very well designed, hold up well, and make the job...

    https://www.autoevolution.com/news/widebody-ram-1500-dirty-dodge-rides-like-a-drift-truck-145473.html# I love the look of this truck. Not sure it’s very practical, but she sure is pretty.

    What is...

    ...the technical name for the safety interlock that prevents shifting an automatic into gear without the brake depressed? I'm sitting here racking my brains out trying to find the part I need to replace on my 03.

    47RE Service

    MarkEagleUSATDR Member I'm getting ready to do a fluid/filter change on my 03 47RE with 160k miles. I've put just over 15k on it in the 2-1/2 yrs I've owned it and dont have any idea of its maintenance history. Plan to adjust the bands while I'm down there. Is there anything specific I should...

    Rear axle vent hose

    Walked out in the rain this morning to find the vent hose laying on the ground. The clamp the holds the free end rotted away. I can't for the life of me find where it was attached. For now I zip-tied it to a crossmember. I checked the FSM but found nothing about this line. Where exactly does...

    All pictures jump to Amazon?

    Seems that all posted pics jump to amazon.com with a search term of the thread title. Kinda annoying, especially for a paying member.
