That is correct they're a direct fight and they work fantastic. I still need to do a real good brake bleed once I replace my front pads and rotors but you can definatly feel those suckers catch real good back there.

Changed the oil today after putting in some seafoam about 2 days ago. I've heard two different ways to seafoam your oil but I went with the add 1/3 bottle and drive 100 miles except I only went about 50-60 before changing it. Some people think it's pointless to seafoam your oil but I guess my situation was an exception to their logic cause not long after adding the seafoam I could feel a little difference in how to was running but then again my truck did sit for 25 months and only rolled about 40 miles. So yea I think there was some junk built up in there. I switched to using mobile 1 and threw in a mopar oil filter.

Ditto Sheriff.

For me i installed my leveling kit and changed cap and rotor trying to get rid of my cylinder 7 misfire. Still didn't work btw. So any ideas on what would make it misfire on only one cylinder. I replaced all the ignition parts so now I dunno what it could be. Last resort is injectors. So any ideas.

Bad injector. Low compression. Bad valve. something else in the valve train bad...... Do a compression test. (or, if you have the option, a cylinder leak-down test. much more informative, not only tells you there is a problem, but just where to start looking for it. rings/valves/head.)

Ok I'll check into a leak down tester. I'm assuming that's one of the lovely expensive tools. But would it make any difference if it only misses when it's cold. after the truck is warm it's fine. Makes me thing injectors. But I'm not sure. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's not the head or anything expensive.

I would do a compression and leakdown test before I make that statement, Blue.

I changed the idler pulley and tensioner (DIY coming soon to a forum near you!) . Thought that would stop the squeaking, but no. Turns out it is the the power steering pump. Yay! I get to re-build it. Damn Maxlife PS fluid.

IIRC somebody did that and didn't see a change. After pulling the heads found a crack. It might have been Rexx. I vaguely remember that happening though
