Default Overhaulin' My RAM over the next few weeks

Ok so i have my truck pulled off the road, and im doing quite a bit to it the next few weeks...Unfortunatly i had to get all these parts for the front end, for i dont want to wear out my new tires like the old ones did, and i had wanted to get Zman's doors, but of course this crap happens, i have hops, and weird noises coming from the front end

I will be posting pictures, and posting descriptions for each of these parts, so members can refer to it for their future reference....kind of like a DIY for each of these things im doing


Dodge rebuild Checklist (March)


Wheel Bearings--------Have parts
U-Joints-----------------Have Parts
Axle Seals--------------Have Parts
Front pads/rotors------Have pads, need rotors
Interference with radio----No Parts
Drop Oil Pan/ Clean pick up screen/ Oil Change-----Need oil
E-Brake/Rear Brake adjustment-----Need cable tensioner
Gas Guage----May need sending unit
Plate Lights----Fix the ground
CHECK THE ****IN TRANSFER CASE FLUID
Gut cat/ get a nice muffler (Flowmaster)
Check all brake lines/fuel lines
Steering Stabilizer-------45 bucks on ebay
Radio swap with maxima
Get new bushing for alternator to take care of whine
Tranny fluid/filter flush




Hopefully this will take are of all the problems and wont have to worry about anything for a while...i didnt get to start today like i wanted to, but will be starting everything saturday...hopefuly all goes well.

As far as muffler , have you heard "Thrush Fully Welded Muffler" its a 2 chamber like a flowmaster , and it's only 30 bucks if someone is on a budget and looking for a good sounding muffler. Youtube soundclips

Good luck getting 1-ton rotors on your half ton. Did you mean calipers?
