While out on my lunch break today, I saw a 3rd Gen Ram 2500 Cummins drive by, but what I noticed is, the truck was a dually. Wasn't aware they made 3/4 trucks with a dually rear axle. Or was the truck originally non dually truck and the rear end got swapped out for a dually?

Got some summit brand 8mm spark plug wires and a summit branded cap and rotor with brass terminals.

Last week I put in some new champion copper core plugs. The old NGK v-powers had given me like, 30k miles? Or more? I forgot but they all had a nice even, albeit worn look to them.

I would have gotten new NGKs but they only had 7! Erg. Oh well I like champions.

The new dizzy cap has a hole in it with a rubber cap? What's this for???

That's a vent. It isn't sealed real well from the crankcase, and you don't want combustible gases from blowby accumulating there, and then detonating, without having someplace to go. Could be exciting.

Getting time to put money into the truck, steering box leaks quite a bit, ok, leaks enough to have the entire bottom control arm covered, and the ball joints are squeaking again, but I got 3 years out of the bottom set and 4 from the top so not too bad.

Now that we're in the city on fairly smooth roads with proper maintenance I should be able to get a bit more from a decent set.

Wow... I'm still on original front end components (187k)... changed the steering damper a few years back, but that is it.
I do have a bit of play in the steering wheel, but it is not too bad.
