An exhaust is another great addition. They worth a look. One of the best mods I have made to my truck for towing and DD'ing.

Towing toy hauler
My 96 had 245's on it and they always looked small. I did discuss that with the dealer when I bought the 02. Thats how it came to pass I got the 265's, they offered it as an option. It is all coming back to me now. Funny what 16 years will do to your memory.

Towing toy hauler
My door sticker says mine came with 245 75 16's. I opted for the 265's instead and I seem to remember the sales sticker reflecting the 265's were optional. @Mopar1973Man what does you door sticker say?

not sure what i just did but ac coming out defrost vent
I opened my glove box and the line I remember is connected to an actuator on the right side of the HVAC box. The line comes from that connector I believe you are seeing just above the and to the right of the throttle. The black line runs to that plug as I recall now. It has been a while. I have seen a schematic of that plug but dont recall where. Nor do I recall if the black line goes straight to it.

NO BUS NO START NOW NO CRANK? HELP PLEASE
I have always thought that is how that bolt was designed. I just pulled mine apart and it appears to be the bolt that is special. It is threaded only on the end. Above the threads the shaft is narrower so when you tighten it the threads just go all the way thru the nut. I guess that prevents over tightening. Not sure I could spin it with fingers but it spins easily with a screw driver.

Oil change
I use the blue ones too. Thanks for turning me on to them. Pretty good price wise also if you buy several as I remember.

Shocks
I am running around 7800 right now. Got to empty the back seat for the current job. The rear is a little stiff with 65 but the front likes the 65. I do pump them up for towing though.

August 2017 Eclipse camping
It is the same over hear in NC. Turns out the eclipse is passing a little south of where I live. I am sure getting something around here is just as difficult.

Im a bit overwhelmed...
Yes he did. He was very private about his religion, guess that is me too. I still tear up every now again just thinking about him and mom. I know there will be reunion one day. Hex, I wish I had something good to offer you to get you thru what you are experiencing. We lost my wife's sister when she was 52 to a very aggressive form of cancer. She died 3 weeks after being diagnosed with it. I was lucky to be working close by and my company sent another super to my job and told me to take all the time I needed to be with her. That took some of the sting out of it, but still some of the toughest weeks of my life. She went way to early.

Im a bit overwhelmed...
Many of them, and I feel the same way, believe in a certain quality of life. My father died just a few months after mom had to bring him a bottle to pee in. He hurt so bad he could not walk to the bathroom. He had rheumatoid arthritis and the doctor could never find anything to could help him deal with the pain. He made himself get up and go to work everyday except the last few months he lived. He also confided in me once a couple of years earlier that he was not going to give the hospital what little he and mom had. so I guess there can be many reasons not wanting to go on. I always believed that he got tired of the fight and the pain and let it take him.

My truck works just fine and is set up much like yours, minus the 2 extra tires. Gauges and a little bigger injectors will make the truck and you happy. The RV 275's are a great addition and fairly economical. Should see a little uptick in mpg with them. How much does the trailer weigh? I gross out around 23k GCW.

Breathing compressor air
W&F is 100% right on that. If you have to breathe it you have the right to know what it is. I believe it would be serious OSHA violation to your employer if they want provide that.

Won't run
it is rare but I have heard of that happening with no codes.If you have hot wired the pump and still want work that is a pretty good sign it is bad. Check out this https://www.bluechipdiesel.com/. He has a lot of good trouble shooting info on the VP. I would hate to condemn with out codes.

Castor or toe adjustment?!
I did not think these adjustment would do anything to the camber. Hence the use of the adjustable ball joints. Not sure how they could change the camber.

Wheels and Tire Setup
I like the 4th gen wheels. The 6 spokes look good. Every set I see out this way folks are wanting 4 or 5 hundred bucks for them.
-
Shocks
The tire shop put my rears at 80 during the rotation, fronts at 65. Decided just to try 65 all around. 80 in the rear with no load equals no fun. Probably going to air them down some anyway.

2nd 3rd 47 RE tranny Problem
Welcome Jeremy. How did you obtain your truck? Did Dodge sell them in France?

Shocks
I have a set of Monro-matics on mine from rock auto. $20 apiece. They keep the wheels planted as they should but the ride is firm. Pretty much like mine was stock. I had been running my tires around 55 in the front and 50 in the rear. Just got the tires rotated and balance and I am sitting a 65 all around at the moment. I did not notice much difference in the ride coming back to Maryland.

Engine miss
By cycling the key do you mean turning the engine over a few times before it starts or you have to turn the key a few times before the starter will turn the engine over? If the engine is turning over but not starting you are possibly getting air into the fuel system. This Mopar Man thing could get interesting.

trreed's upgrade thread
Not me. Glad you seemed to have found the right person though. One of the reasons I bought the ADII was that it has a regulator that I can adjust.
