first time evar with this truck.. anyways, I seem to dont have the jack for this truck, I have a regular 2 ton one I got but dont know if it will go high enough.. also Im missing the bar to stick down the tube to release the spare. Can I release it without that pipe?.. Good thing I got this flat at home and not on the freeway!! ... this sucks, I can change my water pump, but not my own tire

-tim

 

think the tubes are univ so just ask a friend to borrow his or you can get under your truck with some pliers and manually twist it, it will take forever....

as for the height, my 06 4x4 stock needed 20" to change a tire, so i bought a 3 ton 23" so i can get both fronts up at once for breaks...

your auto insurance should have road side on it, call them, but i dont know if they would have that spare tire tube (whatever the hell that thing is called)
did you check to see if you even still had the spare? lol, i chained mine up....

 

lol, Yeah spare is there and in awsome condition heh.. sadly Im the only one I know that has a ram :-( (in the states)

 

well like i said that tube extension should be universal, just like a half inch square, hell you may be able to get the head of a socket wrench (no socket) in it and try that...

 

wonder if all else fails if I can unscrew the bolt thing thats holding the tire up? and hope the tire doesn't fall and break my face lol

 

lol luckily your 17"s wont weight that much. i have the 275 60 20 so that sum bitch was a pain to lift up and get the wing through the hole.

 

well, I caved in and decided to drive to the local dealership and ordered the part that would allow me to wench down the spare.. 30 bux for a metal tube,, grreaat.. and I had to buy a jack.. got one for 30 bux,, 5 ton scisor jack at freight harbor tools.. need a replacement I can keep in the truck.. goes up to 24" so it should work fine.. Alternative was a 3 ton floor jack that goes up to 20" for 60 bux which I cant keep in the truck... which i want, but dont need right now hehe, and Cant justify to the wife at thsi time, since I ened to get new tires..
