Well didn't get much done to the Dodge. Did get the brakes done on the Avalanche and decided to check the ujoints on it and ended up replaceing them. Started on the Ram and my impact froze up. Got to aggravated to continue so went in to watch the Dawgs play Auburn instead. I learned a while back to just walk away and not damage anything when I'm in that mood. So now I have to wait a couple of weeks. Going to go ahead and order the steering box though, while Blue top still has it in stock. Anyone have a suggestion on a pump. Mine is still good. Thinking of just cleaning it up and rebuilding it.

Well tell y'all what happened the bad - came home from work yesterday to a van in my ditch , driver was ok , and took out my mail box. The good - it was an auto glass installer and not only did his boss give me a hundred fifty bucks, they are going to install a new windshield in ol yeller. Not a bad trade since it has had the infamous 2nd gen Ram crack in it for the last 12 years.

Ok haven't got to post in a while. Weather has totally sucked in Mobile AL for the last two months. Everytime I get a chance either the weather sucks or life happens. So I have got to do some research. I found a complete 8 L V10. It is a complete engine with wire harnesses. $800. Would it be worth going that route? Trying to decide on extra costs of rebuilding it, getting a new tranny, and other stuff. Any opinions out there? Well HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!!!!

The 99 Ram 1500 sport. It's rear wheel drive, regular cab with a 5.2 magnum. I'm still working on replace everything in the frontend and converting to rear disc brakes. Just haven't decided on what I am going to do as far as a motor yet. A 408 build is what I am leaning towards. But open to just about anything until I get thru with the brakes and suspension.
