How long to change injectors?
Im right there with Mike when I had a 24v, about an hour. Ive got a big problem with not leaving anything alone and nothing is ever good enough. 2wd truck with a stock bumper is faster than 4wd and ranch hand bumper.

Front Brake Line Rubbing / Replacing Line
Passenger side line on this 98 and the last 98 both had a wear mark from the tire. I just replaced both driver and passenger soft lines today.

No washer or intermittent wiper
You have to raise up on the hinged part of the arm before sliding the pin out.

9004 to 9007
Do you have one of the wiring harnesses with relays or just factory wiring?

9004 to 9007
I was mostly concerned with burning up the housings and didnt even think about the headlight switch.

No washer or intermittent wiper
Kinda have the same thing going on with my 98. I have L/H and it goes to park but no intermittent. My washer works but have to have the wipers on L/H to clean the wind shield. Ive swapped relays with no luck. I pulled the motor and transmission out and tried to get into the motor but had no luck.

9004 to 9007
Anyone try some of the high wattage hella bulbs? I got a pair of 9004 from rock auto that are 80/100 watt but im scarred to run them in fear of burning something up. They are under $3 so i thought i would throw them in with the rest of my order.

Tappet cover gasket is dry. I really cant find anywhere that leaks. There is years of grimy residue on the underside of the motor and all but ive been getting it all cleaned up. The blue top did not come with orings and I think my return line may have been leaking a little. I shot some break clean on it and I'll check it next time i drive. I should have went to the parts store and got some orings.

I thought my vacuum pump was leaking too. Ive been to the car wash several times in the last couple weeks, washing the engine and all under there really good and it turns out, vacuum pump is dry. I ordered the Gould reseal kit (without pvc and dvd) and had every intention of doing it today but ill wait till its actually leaking first. I ran 3 bottles of ps fluid through the system for a good flush before putting this new beauty on. Went ahead and added a steering box brace with the install. Steering is nice and tight now but ive still got to do something about the passenger side cam bolt at the control arm. The washer that is welded to the bolt is bent so I cant add any caster and the bolt has welded itself inside the bushing. Im gonna have to cut the bolt head off and either get a new bushing or control arm.

I know! I found a full set with caps for $100 locally.

I believe these came off of a 2002 f-250. I’m only using dodge center caps but there aren’t any clips inside the caps and the ford wheels have two holes for bolting on ford center caps so the dodge caps have two holes drilled in them so they may be bolted onto the wheels. I’ll get a pic up later this afternoon.

How are y'all measuring out your 2 stroke dose?
This may be what RonJon is referring too. I bought one of these from walmart and it always worked well. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/outdoor-power-equipment/funnels/8099632?x429=true&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CjwKCAiAyrXiBRAjEiwATI95mW0Ijf0bjl4dQBTBfU5aRZLY9Kzpkur0O2BoSn94MkunffJkxUUQLxoCDjMQAvD_BwE

Contacting Previous Owners
I forgot but when I sold my 2012, I had notes of everything I did with dates and mileage and actually put my name and number in the owners manual. New owner called me up and thanked me against and again for all the notes.

Contacting Previous Owners
I contacted a previous owner of a truck i was test driving. Found a speeding ticket in the glove box and found a phone number to one of his family members. They gave me his number and i called him. I also saw a previous owner of my 2012 truck on a computer at dodge. I wrote down his name and found him on facebook. Creeper maybe, but nobody was hurt and i found out a few things about some trucks.

Blue-Top vs Redhead steering gear
Mike, does Ryan recommend atf or power steering fluid?
-
Everyone post a picture of your truck!
Yes, they fit perfectly. The ford center caps screw onto the wheels so you’ll have to drill two holes in the dodge caps to get them to stay on.
-

Yes. I really like the way they look on the truck.

I forgot to mention. The wheel does not return to center when turning left. It will go back to center out of a right turn
