Yea I'm not a fan of the rock solid bushing. And my track bar is a bd diesel adjustable tracker. Big and heavy duty. Im gonna go through and replace all my tie rods next maybe that will help.

Yea I need to fix the hydroboost leak but I havent a clue on how to do it. I got the new gearbox and new shaft in tonight and its still pretty sloppy steering. Thought that the new shaft and gearbox would tighten it up alot. But it didn't.

Not right now, hard to get pictures where it's at. When I pull it I will.

Yea that could have been VERY bad. Especially if I separated going 60mph

Well I got under the truck.......not good. First as soon as I loosened the clamp on the steering shaft ps fluid came pouring out. I guess the input shaft Is semi hollow and it was cracked so when I loosened it it came apart. Also the steering shaft clamp IS aluminum and was stripped out. So looks like a new shaft and gearbox are in order.

Yea Its as tight as it will go. I'm not sure if the clamp on the steering shaft is rounded out or if the input shaft rounded out. I assume the steering shaft would be a softer metal.

Thank you I wasn't sure which one it was. I'm not sure if I need a new gear box or just a new steering shaft. I guess i could pull the steering shaft off and look at it.

Whichever shaft the steering shaft clamps on to. When I move the steering shaft i can see the splined shaft on the gearbox not move by the steering shaft has rotational play.

I do have the steering brace. That bolts under the gearbox. I'm gonna be going down to 33 inch tires here soon.

Yea 35x12.5x18 tires, power steering leaks like a siv so I'm constantly putting new fluid in. But it leaks at the booster. I'm probably gonna get a new gear box as soon as possible.

Ok so we all know that our trucks have horrible steering slop and play. Well mine was all normal and crappy then the other day my steering wheel popped when turning out of my drive away and now my steering is so bad I cant drive. If i hit a bump it shoots my truck into the other lane and j have to turn my wheel almost 180 degrees to correct it. I noticed that the shaft at the steering box where the steering shaft bolts to is almost like its stripped out in the steering shaft. Does anyone know if the steering shaft collar or the spline on the gear box are aluminum? I should probably replace both of them but money is tight right now.

Lol was getting my daughter some soup lol

Such a relief!!! These are worth their weight in gold!!! Anyone know what this fitting is called and the called? Also this axe body wash is the best grease oil remover I've ever seen.

If I drop the pan can I get to the opposite side of where this fitting is? Just to help incase pieces fall into the tranny?

Well how do I go about getting this out? This is the fitting from the front of the trans to the heat exchanger. I can win for lose here. The fitting in the trans sheared right off.

Damn mine must be siezed up I cant break it loose for the life of me.

Do you know if the connector at the heat exchanger is one of the Chrystler quick clips?

So this is the part numbers I need. And that's funny they used the p pumped engine.

Mine is an 01 24 valve 4 speed auto 47re. I think this picture is actually what I'm looking for lol

I've looked for hours in that pdf file and I cannot for the like of me find the part number for the cooler lines.

I dont know what the part number is. Other wise I'd do that. I've looked through that pdf and cant find the part number for the hoses.

Does anyone know where I can get new trans cooler lines from the transmission up to the heat exchanger tank or whatever that tank is on the side of the trans? Its leaking really bad out of that fitting.

Ok guys got something else for you. When i bought the truckit came woth a smarty tuner and i never used it and assumed that the previous owner took it back to stock tune. Well he didnt. I plugged it in and it was vin locked to my truck etc. So i started fiddling with it and put the truck back to stock from tune #3 and then looked at the codes my truck had low voltage apps and after i looked at it, the codes cleared and i went for a drive and no more apps code and no more tc lock up issues. Could my smarty have thrown the 1693 code or whatever it was along withthe 0122 apps code? Update: Scratch that the codes returned with no smarty.

Im thinking about putting some larger battery cables in next time i swap the alternator.

Could there be something thats causing the premature failure of these alternators?
