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

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

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

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

Their the original one's. Bob

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

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

Thanks Mopar1973Man.

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

Thanks guys for the response. Stormin08. What do you mean by other makers? Ford and Chevy? Bob

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

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

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

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

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

The stock cylinder diameter is 7/8" bore the Chevy one as a 1" bore. It made a big difference in braking on my 96. They were a direct fit and didn't have any problems getting them in. Bob

I got the wheel cylinder from NAPA, part # UP37337 . Application I use was for a 1985 Chevrolet C30 1 Ton dually. Bob

I didn't have any on hand, so I just used what I had. My luck the mice would pull the pot scrubber out. Bob

Finally got around to fixing the gaps in under the plastic windshield wiper cowling to keep the mice out. I used some thing gauge aluminum and cut a piece that will just fit and pop riveted it in. Left a small gap at the bottom for any water that gets in there to drain out. Bob

Summit list them as 1/8 - 27 for most transmission sending units. Bob

No, I have a box on it. I wanted to put a flatbed on it, but my wife doesn't like the look. I just repainted my truck last year, it was silver and emerald green. But, the clearcoat failed and she was peeling bad. Went with a premixed paint (Kirker), it's now Mack Green. Not as dark green as I had wanted, but it's way better than before.

Haven't had time to put a new one in, but I'm thinking of selling it. Bob

I knew you were in New Meadow, go through about once a year. My son lives in Boise and we make it down there occasionally. Would love to live down in your area, but it will be back to MT after I retire in about four years. Bob

I'm going to install a drain plug in the transmission pan of my truck. I'm going to use the drain plug for my temp gauge also. Where in the pan is the best place to put it so it doesn't interfere with anything. Bob

Colfax is still pretty much the grain center. Though just about everything goes to the river and gets loaded on barges. During the peak of harvest we get 20 - 25 semi's a minute by our place. Colfax always hires new cops right out of the academy and their gungho, so yes they'll get you for anything over. Colton and Uniontown share a cop.

Yes, work in Pullman. Live between Colfax and Dusty. Bob
