I will have to look for an older pic of it now...
I had the regular chromed steel wheels that almost all of these slt's came out with and got tired of the look.
lastrights looks good you have a before picture ?
The wheels are actually 17's off of an 03 Ram
dodgeram07 what are those wheels off ?

Well decided to to the adjustments on my steering box to try to tighten it up....... Well trying to take the steering shaft off for the bearing preload. It didnt compress likes its supose to. Didnt budge. 3 hours later finally got off and adjusted the bearing preload it was a lil loose. But couldnt get the shaft compressed to get it back in. So gave it a few wacks with the sledge.....It pretty much fell apart lol. Got the borgeson one coming fed ex next day delivery lol.

If you get on before the 5th you can get 20% off everything it says. My garage guy said Dodge wanted 80 a piece for the iac and tps. I'm going to Florida in 2 weeks so I went cheap.

The start up idle problem seems to be fixed however now sometimes when coming to a stop it will drop to around 450rpm then bounce back up to the normal area
what one of those censors makes the idle jump up when in park, my truck been reving and staying at 1000 then droppes and goes back up?

Dude I honestly have no idea. It's either the iac or tps but not sure which one

Finally got my damn lug nut off, ended up getting a small cutting wheel for the dremel thing we have, I tapped up my rim real good and ended up only scratching the center cap a little.

Tomarrow I'm taking the tires off and rotating them after their first 3k, doing good on wear and the front tires are wearing a little quicker than the backs, and also doing the pads while im at it, its free so why not

Rolled past 97k on the odometer and broke the ashtray so it wouldn't stay closed. Fixed the ashtray and put it back. Two part quick setting epoxy FTW!

I had the idling problem and replaceed the IAC, at the same time I did the plenum. Now I am having intermittent problems with the idle again. It starts fine but after 10 min or so of driving it downshifts with barely any throttle, and when I stop it idles wildly. If I stomp the throttle while driving it goes away. TPS maybe?

Looked under my truck the other day and decided to get rid of some rust. Figured i would start grinding and painting underneath. Started with the drive shaft today. I wanted red but all they had was blue. Im using rustoleum primer and paint
