Hello all.

New owning a dodge. Really like the truck. Just have a few questions.

This is what I have found out so far.
1. I need to look at the plenum gasket, either with the FSB or with a mirror through the intake.
2. the front O2 sensor will probably need to be replaced.

I have replaced the heater core and the passenger side ball joints and both front axle u-joints.

Is there anything else that I should look at?

Thanks for you help in adavance.

 

How does it run and drive?

 

check the tranny fluid. (when running in neutral. a reading from park WILL NOT be accurate) see if it has a burnt smell, or if its low.

 

HA-HA.

clean or replace headlights.
replace CAD with Posilok
head, amp, speakers

tune up, wires, plugs, rotor, cap
any more leaks - oil pan, valve covers.

^LMAO

he nailed it

 

Right on the money

 

How could you forget about the freeze plugs!!!

 

Thats pretty consistant with any used truck. So dont be scared.

 

Not to worried at all. Have rebuilt entire trucks before. Just wanted to have some opinions on what is needed.

I did read a thread about how to check your CAT, but now I can't seem to find it. I thad some temps for inlet and outlet in it.

Full tune up is in the works. Already had the tranny looked at and flushed.

and the dash is in great shape. not cracks.

 

...just wait. It won't be long.
