heat and ac controller
I never understood why dodge made it this way. All normal cars you can put vents in any position you desire and have 2 buttons, one for recycled air and one for ac. Meaning put things how you like and choose what's on. Dodge went full retard on that one, among other things. I spliced a wire under the dash hvac controls and put it on toggle switch, so I can turn ac compressors on when I want. @IBMobileis who came up with the idea.

Allowable play in ball joints
If it's about 16th of an inch up down it's probably ok, side to side should be zero. I changed mine with a little play up down because I was doing wheel bearing anyway but when put new ones in the had about same play as original with 150k + on them. Lose steering is probably more likely track bar, tierods, steering box, or stabilizer shock in that order. Jmo

Surging after tappet cover gasket replacement
Check your ecm plug, maybe vp plug. I'd think it's more with a lose wire.

Trouble with my Ram
If you're not losing coolant it may be vp related. Something to do with timing. I would think if it was injectors it would do it all the time. We'll get through it, just need to get the ball rolling.

Doing more ball joints
Should do it, but the ball joints studs will need to be cut off to them out with that kit. You'll see why.

Cheap dodge paint, sooner or later it comes off. Unless your truck been garaged it's whole life it's just how to is, mine is about gone too.

Speedometer jumping
In case anyone wondering, sent my module to module masters in Idaho. Got it back installed and same thing. Abs/brake light come and go. Had a guy use snap on and got few codes for rear sensor. Went for a ride and front left is still dropping signal like it did before. Although I noticed just past 320 mark, both front left and rear drop at the same time, wondering if it's related. What's weird is it had code for rear sensor but no codes for the front.

Window auto function quit working
I cleaned mine too, but like @IBMobile mentioned it only lasts so long and fails again. I ended up getting a new borgwarner switch.

You Folks Have Your Firewood In?
No, I don't think it would help, unless of course it had a heat source like you mentioned. My fass has 2 plugs into the base of it to run antifreeze through it, at least I heard someone talking about it. If it's jelled you're screwd anyway. I believe fass also sells Electric heaters that go in them same holes to get the pump worm, still if lines and filter is gelled you're screwd. Now in talking strictly leaving truck outside over night with temperatures cold enough to cause problems. If you park in the heated garage it shouldn't matter anymore as long as you don't shut it off. Fuel is always circulating, should be enough heat to keep from gelling.

NV5600 Oil level
You'll be just fine, if you take shifter off with fluid to bottom of fill hole, you can barely see it from the top. If you dump one more quart in you may be raising level by 1/8 to 1/4" it's a big tranny one qt over is fine in many opinions, but we all know opinions are like belly buttons everybody has one. Unless it's a tranny of course. Unless he didn't change it at all, how do you know

Thanks, made it just fine. Left some fuel in a jug outside, it looked good not cloudy. I think we're a bit late for tank warmers party, pretty sure it's all out there. But we can surly start another debate

You Folks Have Your Firewood In?
It's going to be 0 in the morning, that's kinda unusual for early November in Iowa, but I'm sure it happened few times before. More and more stations are selling biodiesel 5 to 20% , no one knows exactly what's in it. Suppose to be 5% in winter but good luck trying to confirm it with any store managers around here, all they can say is our fuel is winterized. Some pumps say it good to negative 10 but somehow you see trucks on the side of the road before it gets to zero, be interesting on the way to work in the morning.

NV5600 Oil level
There is a transmission shop in town they been around for 40 years. When I bought my truck I took it to them because it made rattle noise when idling and worm. Right away he said you have after market clutch, and it's normal. Then he said make sure to drive in the ditch and put another qt in because nv5600 has a bearing up higher someplace and they fixed a few of them for that reason. I guess to each their own, I chose to run extra.

I just wanted more in mine couldn't do it on the side like you did, I tried but 6 qt is about all you're getting in

NV5600 Oil level
Take shifter off on level ground and put rest of oil in. I have 8+ qt in mine for years now, I do have a fast cooler on one side and filter on the other, still I'm 1.5 qt over stock. My oil level is at pto top 2 side bolts not the very top middle. That's why I would never let anyone to touch my truck, bunch of monkeys these days.
