Pretty good. Adequate to the task for a half ton truck. Fair number of parts available for it as well.

z man as always awesome I will have to fill that out. Anyone have any write ups off here of wheel bearing replacement? I would also like to find another ball joint replacement write up. Thanks

 

Ball joints are not a bad fix, I have not read the whole thread, but if you are just doing ball joints, I would also look at the tie rods, wheel joint (u-joint). The Wheel bearing is rather expensive on the Rams.

 

That can all be found in the FSM download from the FAQ section. Not only is it free, but it's for a 2001 like yours. So I really don't know what more you could possibly want.

 

here is what the FSM says.

UPPER BALL JOINT

REMOVAL -

(1) Position tools as shown to remove upper ball
stud (Fig. 26).

INSTALLATION

(1) Position tools as shown to install upper ball

stud (Fig. 27).

 

Then it just shows the two figures. It doesnt really show any of the steps to get to this. I honestly believe that I can get to this step without a problem I just wanted to see someone elses write up

 

Wow, that is pretty sad. Sorry, I know of no other write ups other than the one I gave you. Follow the axle ujoint replacement, that gets you right there.

 

haha yeah everything else is extremly through but for that I was like you have to be kidding me. I think I can get there by just messing with stuff I just wanted to get the general idea instead of just pulling stuff lol.
