Thanks for being so observant zman. Just know that they were not there when the jack was in place. C'mon...give some people credit or at least probe for the awareness. You can easily refrain from such personal remarks, but that's just my 2 cents of STFU right back at ya, in kind.
hes being nice man CHILL, his daugher was in a accedent with his last ram ,so hes looking out weather or not it was there or not.

I took the seat out and the floor mat to find both sides soaking wet still.. Aggghhhhh
I picked up some rust prevent primer and some rubber sealant spray paint. After it dries I'll sand it down some and paint. Then the quest to find the leaks will begin. I'm gonna start with resealing the rear window and looking for some new door weather stripping.
any good/cheap place to get door weather strip? Any trouble spots to look at for leaks? Thanks

finally got all of my 1-ton dodge factory crossover steering components bought. went with moog from advanced auto. assembled the pieces and wow they are beefy. put them all together so the install will go easy. just need to order my xrf adjustable track bar, install and get an alignment. I want to see how camber is before I do ball joints in case I have to get some offsets before I replace those and I should be good. then on to sway bar bushings and links, ram steering fix on the column, and maybe the steering box brace. rebuilding these front ends is pretty pricey and involved.

I stared at it while I loaded my fishing gear in my Jeep for in the morning. Going to do some fishin' for Redfish on the intercoastal tomorrow morning (no work till tuesday) and I'm gonna need 4WD to get back to where I go.

At least I'll have 4WD back on the truck after tomorrow evening if my stupid parts come in.

Stupid $36k "Ram Tough" truck's entire 4 wheel drive system hinges on two stupid, tiny rubber grommets to function!!!

That's always how stuff seems to work eh?

Anyway...I started my "replace the leaky radiator" project today by removing the prerunner bar and lights. Will drop the bar off at the powder coaters tomorrow.
Had to solder some connectors back on...I'm really starting to despise crimp connectors.
Now I have to wait for my radiator and attending parts to come in. Ordered a 2 core unit off ebay.

Get the new shoes, shocks and replaced K&N CAI housing. Housing was cracked above the TB and they replaced it for free!

Pics here in the album since they'd stretch out this forum post due to size.

What prompted you to go in for a service, and why do they think it needs a rebuild?
