Quote: Ram was making a popping sound. When i turned . Was worried it might be the R&P. Tie rods looked a lil worn. So I figured Id try them before I dumped a couple notes on a rack. Good news is tie rod end fixed the problem. Bad news is I could only get one changed. Pounded and pounded like hell, but couldn't get one side to break free of the control arm. WTF.. Any advice????? Short of an air hammer?

Have a look at these two tools, cheap. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog...q=tie+rod+tool

I am working on my diy oil catch can and I can't get the damned fittings to fit.
I bought 3/8 in threaded barbed fittings for the catch can and they are farrrrr too small for the threads on the catch can.

Any thoughts?

i don't think we could help you without knowing what parts you bought for the catch can.

i received my light i ordered. got to wait till night time to really test them out. i like the look and shape of them but i think i might need to make some brackets to pull them up a bit higher

Kobalt 3/8 in "air filter"
And 2 Kobalt "Hose repair" kits. I only bought those because I couldn't find any 3/8 in barbed fittings, and those fittings are way too small for the filter.

sounds like you got the 1/4"npt fitting for repairing 3/8" hose. may need a smaller filter or possibly some adapters

But the big Kobalt blue filter specifies : 3/8" female threads.

and the kit you bought was for repairing 3/8" air line that most likely has 1/4npt fittings on the end. if you can find barbed fittings that are 3/8" npt then those would also work but i can't find them on the lowes website.

Sorry. The poke was not at you, but at Dodge as HeyYou referenced, and the build sheet infor. This is a perpetual joke here on DF.

I am a newbie to this stuff.
NPT is for the barbed ends? What is the threaded ends measured with?
