What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
Drove it to Salmonarm to pick up some parts, new BDS 3rd gen 2500 dsl 8" lift coil-springs, a Moog Drag-link tre. Ordered four flex joints, waiting on two lower control arm brackets. On the way home the fuel pump decided to almost call it quits, so need a new pump in the am, that will be pump 5 over 6 years.
Tank out and cleaned inside, ready for the new pump.
Why I like dropping the tank and cleaning it out.
Good stuff Merc. Are you going to have to clock the tcase down?
Got the rear drive shaft retubed. All put back in. Drives fine.
Earlier I had replaced the seal on the Tcase tail shaft housing, which also involved new rtv on the mating surface b/t housing and tail. Verified no leak. However, looks like the output housing original rtv is leaking, albeit very slowly. Just very annoying.
I haven't looked in the FSM yet. Is it a PITA to remove that and resurface with RTV? Any other seals a good idea to replace?

I would guess you should pick up a solid 3" over your 7" springs on the conservative side, but factor in the heavier diesel spring rate and it might be even more

Not hard at all black rtv is fine red is better.
