long island NY communist state --- Update to the previous post... I live in a communist state bunch of people dont mind there own business but mind yours as soon as my youngest son graduates Im gone got 120 acres up in the hills pa border lot nicer there

ok got to quiet down the beast the wife complains openly and I know the neighbors under there breath and got pulled over last week [no ticket] so thats that 3 strikes I guess been looking at hushpower and also this 30 inch fte resonator any thoughts? ps I have the mbpr muffler in there but its just a flow through

need to quiet down the 4 inch mbpr i have the muffler but the police that stopped me the other day thought it was to loud let me go nice guy and the nieghbors are getting cranky looking at donaldson also the fte resonator any thoughts?

im getting a squeak from the engine not sure if its alternator or idler pulley I do notice it gets louder when it warms up I do notice that once in a while the lights dim slightly but thats been going on a while trying figure it out now thanks

i was wondering what the diff. would be as far as 50 to 75 to 100 hp injectors

Ok so I was a little leary of doing this job in my garage but just wanted everyone to know that it was basically a piece of cake looked a lot scarier as far as the nuts being all rusty looking and stuff but once I started in on it they came apart pretty good put the ranchos 5000s in {thanks mike} and they seem to ride pretty good and half the price of bilstiens and this hell bent spacer is made pretty strong IMHO and leveled my truck out preety nice anyway its starting to warm up and im in the hunt for a set of injectors any thoughts as this is my next project leaning towards rv 275s but maybe a little bigger?

i change the track bar and put a steering stabilizer i bought off ebay from custom diesel built strong and helped alot with the wander

prayers are with you brother:pray:

is 285 50 20 to big for 2nd gen can get a steal on them thats why im asking running 265 75 16s now

HBS 2 inch spacers

gonna put on a leveling kit tommorow any shortcuts or any thing I should look out for I guess I have to remove the plastic on the inner fender well to get to the back nut on the tower do you have to drop the sway bar to get the room to put the spring back in? wish me luck.

ok heres the deal a guy that has a shop by me bought these bilstien 4600 shocks for a customers 2001 ram 2500 4 wd with a 2inch lift but from what im reading i dont know if they will fit my 1999 ram 2500 with a 2 inch lift anyone know? maybe part numbers? i can get these for a nice price this guy never showed up and paid for everything like a year ago

i just did my rotors and calibers on my 99 pita the rotors are held on with the studs got to band them out to get the rotor off but first you got to separate the whole assembly from the axel I would put it back on with the 4 bolts and soak it up real good than try with heat and a big puller good luck wow I thought I had a lot of rust

good luck mike hope it all turns out good

welcome from long island new york great site here. you up near the finger lakes?

Howdy from long island N.Y. your pretty close to my family in clayton NY this site is #1 of the best for help with these trucks:thumbup2:

All I can say is WOW made my day that there is s till some decent people left in the world:thumbup2:

I looked at both gauges big diff in price.will this ultra gauge pull codes like the scan gauge? are these almost the same or like apples and oranges?

I went aliitle bigger on my tire size stock was 245 75 16 went to 265 75 16 just wondering what my actual mileage would be right now im doing a little better than 14 arond townon the new tires also will the scan gauge 2 allow me adjust the tire size?

I got the cooper at3s and like the ride on dirt or highway and big differance on wet pavement as far as traction just rotated the them at 5000 miles guess I will see how they hold up plus there american made and they are pretty quiet on the highway

looking at scan gauges on ebay any recomendations?

ok diesels getting up there with whats in my sig and me running comp on 4x4 and driving like theres an egg on my skinny pedal what would be next? injectors? watermeth ?thoughts?

thanks for the quick reply my shocks are done so i guess ill go with the ranchos the bilstiens are real nice but banks low

if I go with a hbs 2in. leveling kit do I need to address anything else in the front end as far as dropping sway bar and such trying to figure this out and do on a budget I think im going with the ranchos as far as shocks go and the steering bow stabilizer from custom diesel any thoughts?

I have asked many stupid questions or so I thought but found out we are here to learn.and IMHO theirs plenty more for me to learn:thumbup2:
