  1. Evan, There not bent enough to see it, I notice it on the road it shimmies a little. They checked it the last time they balanced the tires, but the mark is not visible anymore. I rotated the tires about a month ago and the shimmy went away so it's on the back now. Bob
  2. Thanks for the info. I'll have to try and make time to go look at them. There listed at $125, is that about the going price for them? Bob
  3. I have the stock wheels on my 96 Ram 2500and one is slightly bent. I found some yesterday that are off a 2000 Ram 2500 will they fit my 96? Thanks, Bob
  4. Cable ends are all attached and the cable is not broken. I'm going to readjust my brakes this weekend and see if that will help any. Bob
  5. Their the original one's. Bob
  6. I was working on my 96 Ram this past weekend and stepped the parking brake down. I applied it to where it normally is and then decided to make it a little tighter. When I did that it went all the way to the floor it didn't release like it normally does. I checked the cables today none of them are broken. Took the rear drums off and had some one step on the parking pedal everything moved normally in both drums. Is there anything in the pedal mechanism that can break. I'll adjust the rear brakes tomorrow and see if that helps. Anyone have any suggestions? Bob
  7. The reviews on the Red Head gearbox are good. I'll have to check them out a little more. I'm just down the road from them, so I can just drive up and get one? Bob
  8. Does it pay to rebuild a leaking steering box or buy a re manufactured one? If it pays to rebuilding them is there a bearing on the shaft that can be replaced? Mine leaks some when turning when standing still. I've had it on for about 100k before I put my steering box brace on. Bob
  9. Thanks guys for the response. Stormin08. What do you mean by other makers? Ford and Chevy? Bob
  10. The seats in my 96 are getting pretty ratty and I'd like to swap them out for something better. Will any second gen truck seats work? Bob
  11. I thought the boost was about right. What is the max boost that a stock engine can handle? I was thinking the fuel pressure was high, but glad to hear it's OK. Bob
  12. The truck is basically stock, except I have installed a Heath wastegate controller (spring type). Truck has 270K on it. I finally installed fuel and boost pressure gauges in my 96. When cold fuel pressure is 30 pounds at idle, 38 pounds at 2000 rpm's. At operating temp idle pressure is 22, at 2000 rpm's 32 - 34. Is this with in specs? My boost running down the road with my my car trailer on hauling a ton is 6 - 8 pounds. Maximum boost that I can get is 28 pounds. Again is this good or could it be better? Bob
  13. I replaced my heater core about 5 years ago, took about 3 hours. I didn't have any trash in the HVAC system at that time. Since I've been having the mouse problem this summer, I also noticed that I had quite a bit of pine needles and leaves in by the heater core. When I plugged the two openings in the cowling to keep the mice out I also hot glued screen under the slots in the cowling cover. Bob
  14. I'm with Mopar1973Man on this one. My rumbling fan was mice. Easy to remove with a short Phillips screwdriver or a flexible shaft. Bob
