Hell Bent Steel 2.5" spacers. Took longer than ever. Had to use Hi Lift jack to get more droop!! I'm level now with wheel wheels at ~43" from the ground.

it was about a 4 day project because it was raining, and i had a broken bolt. but time wise id say about 4-6 hours total time.

Did do anything to my truck, but I DID talk with a nice couple this Saturday about their 2001 Ram Off-Road. Amazing how some vehicles can bring total strangers together.

Installed weatherstrip that I got off of ebay today less then 1/2 the price of OEM. Perfect fit.. That should help some of the leaking I have.. My seat belt strap gets wet every time it rains, I'm guessing my rear window is leaking somewhere? And I'm still getting water on the passenger side under the glove box. And it's not the heater core, it's water.. Windshield must have a leak somewhere??

Found my trans leaking even more.
I am tired of throwing those blue bottles in the trash. I'm gonna see if I can get my dad to help me take the truck to the trans shop next week.

Is back to driving my truck after nearly 2 years of keeping it as my secondary, last week it got a torque converter, front seal, new intake mani gasket. Today I bought spark plugs and ordered wires, cap, and rotor button.

I know mine's not a 2nd Gen, but I gave my truck the day off and took it fishing. Pissed me off too, it caught a nice redfish and I got skunked!!!

I had this same problem on my Ram ... turned out to be the water from the AC blowing back around the drain tube. Fixed it by gluing a small piece of 1/2" PVC pipe with a 90 on it. WORKS GREAT > > NO MORE WATER
