The Plasti-dip was great for a quick fix kind of a thing for a person on a budget. It was just temporary till i found something better. As for the lights, I used that stuff that takes the fog off but it just came back. My plan now is to sand them down and use some vht

I bought some hubs off ebay for my ram truck.
it has a dana 60 front axle.i notice the hubs i took of my
truck had landing pads for the spindle washer and for the 4 hub bolts
but the ones i got off ebay dont.Whats the difference between the two?
Appreciate any help.

 

Apparently Dodge didn't make the battery terminal connectors to fit Optima batteries... the post on my battery just was too slim to have the connector tighten down to size. No idea how it was doing it before, but yes, my loving fiancee fixed it for me.

Hoping this will solve the hesitation problems.

 

Got a picture of yours vs. the new one? The 1/2 ton Rams have a Dana 44 in the front and they only have three hub bolts that hold them on. I thought the D60 had three as well, does it have four bolts that hold the hub on?

As for what I did to my Ram>

Put my Champion truck plugs back in and this:

 

Got it aligned yesterday, steering is straight now. Yay!

Also had the shop air the tires up to 40psi....the manager said, "Uhh, 40? Thats a bit high..."
I told my mom (who took it to the shop for me) to make them do it anyway if they want to balk and complain..I know what the hell I'm doing. Thats sorta what she told em. Got another inch or two out of the truck too.

Consequently, the manager explained the alignment stuffs to me....apparently the camber is maxed out....then I find out via my FSM that the camber is non-adjustable.
Oops.

 

I wonder what that shop would say about me running 50psi in mine.

 

I cleared some check engine codes today and got rid of a misfire.
I disconnected the vacuum line from the brake booster the other day so I could access the header bolts and I forgot to plug it back in.
I thought the engine was running a little rough when I first started it and figured that it may not like the new plugs. I knew what the problem was when I took the brake off with my foot on the brake pedal and the truck moved.

Did you know that running the truck with the brake booster disconnected will give you a P0201, P0206, P0300 and a P0301 code? I do now.

 

nice work Sheriff

 

Thanks dodgeram07.

I gassed up last night at a gas station that has produced plenty o' spark knock in the past and heard something pleasant this morning.
Cruising along at 70 mph on an incline with the gas pedal pressed just shy of kicking out of overdrive I didn't hear any knocking.
Later on down the road I floored it up to about 70 mph and once again, no knock.

I don't know if it was sealing that friggin crack in the header or the Champion truck plugs that made it happy since I did them at the same time but the engine is nice and quiet now so I'm happy.
