It's there in the foreground. Very small and tight. ha!

Best I can tell you on height is this measurement from just about top of axle tube to frame rail.

About 13"

Got it out to drive today. Couple slow rounds around the neighborhood, then to gas station, then to vacuum place. lol

Honestly a bit nerve racking as i was listening for anything and everything. On way to vac place i smelled brakes. Passenger rear caliper dragging bad that it was smoking. Didn't have time upon getting back home to pull it apart to check for the obvious issue.

You are going to be like a parent with a new baby for a while. Get used to it.

Pulled the driver one and similar condition. Bum deal.

So taking these in as cores. Already got the new ones on last night, Wagner Thermo Quiet pads, and bled.

Took for a spin...voila!! Felt just gravy. Drove to work this morning w/o issue.


So...now I'll tinker with the tire size with my Superchips tuner to get the speed/mileage marginal. It currently reads higher speed/mileage by like 10%, thus makes the tranny shift early.

No CEL on at all. thumbs up. I capped off the vac lines that once went to the tcase switch.



I'm under the impression that only the Chrysler DRB3 can change the gear ratio and tone ring count? I can't remember who did that with tone ring in the last year or something.


Oh, gotta remove the 1500 badge now... lol
