a suggestion on 'search' here on DodgeForum
is that most of the time
the Advanced Google search

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en

works faster and returns more results
than the forum's internal search button
if on the line on Google Advanced that starts with
"Domain"
you restrict the Google search to
www.dodgeforum.com

there is an even more advanced search front page for Google at;

http://www.***anfinder.com/google.html

I aint a pro at it, but I returned some results that I wanted. I need a working Wiper switch and a glovebox that doesn't have a huge crack in it.

Hey, I could use some advice about lowering the vehicle to set the joints and knuckle. I know I should get a floor jack, but since I have the 2wd with two seperate control arms, should I set the jack under the knuckle to lower the truck on, then raise it back up to put everything back together?

Also, what's a good way to clean up the bearings?

Well I am close to being done now, just on hold for the floor jack (I jacked it up with my little hyrdo-thingy-ma-bob) to press in the knuckle and joints. Just wondering about if there is any pre-alignment adjustments I can make to save time and money.
