Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Track Bar Torn from Frame,

[cojhl2]

Friend Farmer has a 94 that tore the Track Bar hanger from the frame.



Has anyone fixed this problem? We are looking for help.



Thank you. .

This happened to my 95 back in 2001 with about 110k. Couple options for the actual repair. Easiest is weld it back on using somebody really good for confidence sake or replace that frame rail. After I had mine welded back together it took a long time to regain confidence in it. When it broke off on the highway it was an interesting ride until I got it stopped. I ran the truck to 215k turned it into a sledpuller and never had another problem. There are a handful of aftermarket options to help the trackbar in general. Do a search and see what you can find. There are 3rd gen convertions, lukes links and others. Other than mine, I haven't ever run in to anybody else that has had this happen. Good luck to your friend.

Go the 3rd gen convertion, the orig set up isn't any good anyway. Peirs has them.

When I 1st went looking at a Cummins / ram , the 1st one I saw was a huge mess , ft end , the frame was cracked next to the steering box .
So now I am in the middle of putting in Solid Steel's parts , DSS , adjustable Track Bar with the retro kit .
You might want to install the retro kit to help alien the broken part before welding .
