Mine was really weird. I thought my roof lights were leaking, soaking the pass side floor. I pulled the lights, checking the seals and using a little dab of silicone to stop any leaks. Still had the problem. I pulled the carpet and drove the truck through some good rain. Water was rolling down the outside of the door gasket and wicking up past the seal where the door curves along the bottom. New gasket fixed it.

I got mine through moparonlineparts.com.

Ordered a crank position sensor and a pair of vacuum line check valves from the stealership... $13 for the pair of check valves, and $120 for the CPS, but they're going to discount it to $97.

If I get another 170k out of this CPS, I don't mind the $$.... that's $0.00057/mile.

I had an issues last year in the rainy season/high humidity with the passenger side floor wet. It's either the seal or A/C draining inside the cab. I need to check both out. I guess it wouldn't hurt to change out the dorr seal gaskets anyway

Agreed, All my noise went away when I fixed the pinion angle and it is exactly that. The line of the trans shaft is parallel to the line of the pinion shaft.

Took the truck in to get aligned after I replaced the tie rod ends, they tell me my driver side ball joints are bad. sweet.

Later that day I am checking out my friends retail/art studio. We decide to grab lunch, I move my truck for him to back out, and he smacks right into the driver side of the bumper anyway pushing it in pretty far. I'd say his lifted Taho took most the dammage, cringling his crome bumper, pinching it upwards from the center, and pushed it into his corner pannel.

So I ran into work hooked a chain to my inner backet and used a front end loader to pull it back out. It worked mostley, I need to pop the plastic off and take a hammer to some of the framing, it got a little curled up. Besides the scuff someone prolly couldnt tell i got hit.

I'm using the search engines tonight regarding a 98 Ram 1500 Auto PCM. All the needed info just requires the search function thanks to Dodge Forum and gives me about a $200 savings from my dealer cost by ordering direct OEM parts, (thanks DF). K.

2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad. I love the factory E Locker.

I originally wanted a Ram 1500 Outdoorsman with the 3.0 EcoDiesle but they do not exist.
