What have you replaced since.....
not sure if this has been done yet(didnt search ..go figure)but curious what have you replaced since owning your rams... I'VE HAD TO REPLACE : both front axle u joints, both hub and bearing assembly,axle seals,<~~~(only the big nut was holding the tire on) trac bar,all ball joints,heater core ,timing chain ,oil pan gasket, water pump, t-stat,harmonic balancer,timing chain cover,steering stabilizer, and TPS sensor, + numerous fluid changes, tune ups and set of spendy tires,and brakes ,.... IN THE WORKS= broken manifold bolts,rear leafs replacements, shocks, full front brake service ,pads, rotors, calipers+brackets...all this $$ adds up fast.

Acquired Feb 2008...I think
Haven't replaced that much for having 167k.
Current:
Front wheel U-joints,
Steering linkage-everything but gear and pitman arm.
A/C clutch and pulley,
battery,
e-fan conversion
wires/plugs/cap/rotor
Soon to replace:
heater core (after I ensure blend door is working correctly) Headers and muffler. Headers look like @$$, and I think the muffler has a leak under the glove box,
rear solid window for sliding,
that ram tough steering bushing thing and the steering linkage. But I want to cry when I see the prices on the Jorgenson shaft,
drive shaft U-joints. front/back.
That's not too bad of a list. Maybe I'll have it all done by Oct.
