Default no wife no kids just me and the ram

I finally was able to get the ram in the garage last night after some heavy cleaning and raising the garage door opening 3 inch's .now the truck wont fit all thew way in so i cant shut the door.

anyway I started the plenum task last night what a pain in the a##, what was dodge thinking, took me like 2 1/2 hours to rip it down just to get to the plenum.

I have found that not only was the plenum leakin so was the the front and rear gasket on the intake.

the timing chain all i can say i WOW holly **** it was loose

so since i am this far with the intake off timing cover off ,I may as well change out the oil pan gasket and rinse down the inside off the block.

Don't be a baby! Just cut the studs and put a nice bump out in the living room.

man, at least your truck fits in a garage, pulling mine in would result in ripping off 3/4 of my cb antennas length

but i think it will fit in the carport at my apartment out in Illinois when i move out there next month
