Actually, if you have not done the repair... look into doing just the seal replacement... I have to go back and search my archives to give you the lead (maybe someone here can fill in in on this... ), but I got a kit with tools and video for about $65. It is the same as the pump R&R but doing the repair yourself. I did it on my '01 and it is not that hard to do.



I kinda' wish I still had my '01... the 2500 of that vintage seems more of a truck than my '05 3500! Hopefully yours is the half- year model with the disc brakes in the rear.



WELCOME ABOARD!
