Jacob is often very hard to reach. I have to ask what makes you think it won't fit? Have you tried it yet?

New tires!!!
Yeah they were pretty good deal really. I rounded my fender corners off a little bit just now and ordered some control arms from Top Gunz. That should take care of my rubbing issue!!:thumbup2:Hankooks were the other tire that I could have gotten for the same price but I went with these insteat because I liked the looks of them!!!

New tires!!!
I'm back from the NHRDA races and tires did really well! I've only got about 500 miles on them so far but really like them! They are Fierce Attitude they used to be Kelly Fierce, then Goodyear bought them, then maybe Dunlop bought them from what I understand. They are an E range tire and look awesome!!!!!!!:hyper: And they are 315/75R16. They rub a little on the driver's side fender corner when I turn sharp so I'm going to trim it a little and buy a set of control arms from Top Gunz probably tomorrow if I get a chance to help push the axle back forward from the level job. Yeah I don't like sun beat interiors so we've got shades on every car! The blue Bug is a '71 that runs and is lowered about 3". I used to drive it to school for 2 1/2 years and really like it. But recently the fuel line decided to start leaking so that needs fixed. What we're thinking about doing to dropping the motor and sticking it in our '73. The black Bug is a '66 and is really clean. It is sporting a 1200cc engine and runs pretty nicely. It needs a new muffler though!! --- Update to the previous post... Also I forgot to add that they cost $992 with tax mounted and balanced.

Cleaned up front end
Looks good man!!

My shocks are shot...
A friend of mine has Blistins and they seem to ride really nicely. But he doesn't have the overloads on the truck either so that makes a difference. I think mine has Monroes and it rides like a tank but mine has the overloads. Looking into Carli coils and maybe Top Gunz control arms up front.

Dash
Another cracked Dodge dash!!:mad:Mine has a light grey hard cover on it that looks really pretty good for a cover. And the color makes a nice bit of contrast to the truck!

VP44 Finally Quit
Sounds like you need a code reader to turn it off.

What tires can i fit?
I know exactly what you're saying and I'm not saying you're not right, this was just my thinking. I guess I know for sure once I put some new rubber on!!! For me, I run about 60 miles of highway to 10 miles of city. Of course that depends on where I go and what I'm doing. Sometimes there will only be 1-5 miles of city to that highway or more. Just depends but most of the time it is all highway.

Got something for you to chew on Mike... A lot of guys say their milage has improved on dually trucks when they added 22.5/ 19.5 wheels and tires... They weight more but help drop the RPMs... Just something to chew on, that's all. Really as long as I don't lose milage, I'm not worried about gaining any. But once you get the larger tire going, it doesn't stop as easily either. I run mostly highway so I'm mainly conserned when I get it wound up, unlike in town or short running.

A while back, not sure about the date. Mike explains it all!!!

Oil Pressure Sending Unit
That sounds just like mine.

The front has a 2" level kit and that is it. The rest is stock. I'm planning on going to 315s on my new set when I buy them. On the highway the larger tires should help drop the RPMs down a little so maybe they will help or maintain the MPGs.

Well what I'm kinda thinking is possibly the VP but you might try resetting your APPS and see what happens.

Well it would appear my axle sprung a leak
Yeah and dirt sucks too!!! When I do mine, I'll do both!!

That would be my method if I was doing it!

I'm needing to replace my passenger side seal here sometime. I've seen how it is done on paper and it takes a little work, but I think it can be done. It would be a lot better if you have a paved place to work!

Good luck and don't let them rip you off!!

1999 Re-flash for a auto to manual trans swap
You might try Cummins, Dodge dealer, or a junkyard. Also might try Ebay and maybe even give Jacob at DieselAutoPower a call.

VP Return Line
That's a good point, but you never know if the VP has shed some pieces or something. That's all I can think of!!

Timing cover broken
No the transition year is '98... Are you sure you have a 1996 truck??
