Yea, i broke my driverside leaf hanger. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ml#post2035796

 

My Catalytic Converter started going bad first, then I started noticing oil on the spark plugs. I would imagine the intake ports were gunked all to hell, It then started missing and idling horribly. The IAC went out and that was when I finally changed mine. If you take a magnet retrieval tool and put it through the throttle body opening to the plenum pan, if it is magnetic, you have the stock pan. If it isn't then you have aluminum. If it is steel, the gasket will eventually go bad, and will shorten the life of your motor if not dealt with.
Simply put--- Aluminum=GOOD Steel=BAD

 

i just opened my rear axle, and took al of the pieces out... it was like a differential stew in there!

 

Ouch, time for lower gears and a locker since you have to rebuilt it anyway.

 

A couple new pic's after paint this past week and front stabilizers.

Can't see the pic Green!

 

It's a good thing you painted it green, otherwise you would have to change your name.
That thing looks good, It looks like it belongs off road.

 

Ya right!!! if I do it will be in the wide open with no trees,lol, After the paint cures,I had them use a poly clear coat to help reduce scratches,We'll see how it works out. In July the wife and I are going on vacation up to Nags Head and
the Cape we plan on 4 wheeling the beaches.

 

Wow that thing looks sharp!

 

Thanks,the only two hobbies I have is fishing and my truck and with the cold weather down here this year the fishing sucks so my truck has been getting all my attention lately, after posting the pic's I noticed the black piece on top of the front bumper was hanging down, so I ran out and fixed it.
