Installed a driver side grab handle. With my leg problem I was pulling on the steering wheel too much. I used Silver's DIY. Thank You Silver. Only thing I did different, was instead of just a slot for the speed nut, I also drilled a hole to get the speednut clipped on in the opposite direction. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...installed.html Got the handle and some other stuff out of a 2001 with the same color interior (Agate). Nabbed a perfect condition cup holder too, if anyone is interested.








Also installed my vac gauge using the steering column pod.

 

Looks good dude! Looks like it's your turn to hit the gas station

 

Thanks, and it seems like it's ALWAYS my turn to hit the pumps. LOL

I was going to post this in the" What did you do to your ram today" thread, but I figured more people would see the link for Silver's grab handle thread out here. It works great, I pull all my 240 lbs sideways on the handle to get in , and it does not budge in the least.

 

stewie beat me to it, but i was gonna say that i think youre a little low on gas....but looks good! i need to get a vac gauge and a trans temp gauge still....

on a side not...i figured oout my t-case problem.... wasnt my t-case. when the u-joint on the drivesahft went south it cause the t-case not to shift. now that its fixed it works flawlessly. so as of now i dont need the t-case, but id be willing to buy the t-case saver off you.

 

OK, no problem on the TC. If you want the Saver, take a Sunday drive sometime. I'm glad I didn't install it. I took the tail cover off to put it on, but figured I'd wait till you got here so you knew it was installed.


Also back to the junk yard. The truck I found (2001) even has a perfect dash, lol. I didn't bring enough tools with me to take it off. (hoping it will still be there next weekend). It was also a 2500 with 4:10 D60's front and rear and T Case still in it.

 

my 01 still has a perfect dash...... ***knock on wood*** i think they changed the way it was made in 01....

those dana 60's sounds nice! would be a perfect addition for my setup!

the new plow is weighing in at 717#'s

 

My dash is fine too, but I wanted it. LOL Someone had already tried taking it out, but didn't realize you have to at least drop the column and lower the dash a little to get to the vent screws and gave up. Some how I don't think it will be there next Saturday. Both door panels are there too, with no broken clips. I wanted the whole truck, asked how much, off the top of his head he said 700. But I know it would be way lower. Motor was open and the keg with a blown plenum gasket was in the bed. LOL

 

wow...way off topic.... if its still there come tax time ill go halves with you on buying it if you want...ill take the parts i want, and you can have the rest...i just want the axles, and rims. if its a quad cab im gonna want the back window too.....haha

 

The slider is gone and it has no wheels. It's getting raped quickly. It is a quad cab. I may go there in the A.M. and haggle.

 

ive been looking for d60's with 4.10s forever! that and i want the whole 3/4 ton suspension too.
