Well did the rotation with no luck on getting rid of the shake. But with doing all control arms and my discs and pads it feels much better. So my next step is new tie rods ( cause the ball joint is gone ) and also new new sway bar links because some of the bushing are splitting. Then I will put new tires on and an alignment,
I also just learned that yesterday that I'm supposed to replace my spark plugs at 30k km and
60 k km (when I bought the truck it was used so never saw the owners manual ). So I will be doing all of them also. Would that have anything to do with my sh!tter then normal gas mileage?
so I have a question? Does anyone now the parts number for the moog tie rod end ( greaseable if the exist )
Also does anyone know the parts number for the plugs or can I just go to napa ( or some were else ) and get em cheap and is there any particular brand I should look for?
thank you for the help ahead.

As for the Moog tie rods, the part number is MOOG Part # ES3571 I am not sure if they still have the zerk or not, I thought some guys were claiming they weren't installed and some were... Idk

Yes they are the end links for our trucks. Rockauto.com has them for $15.66 plus whatever shipping is.
Don't worry about the questions. Besides friendships and meeting others with the same hobbies, this is what we are here for. Just be weary of that donkeypunch or jkeaton character...

Well I went to napa with not much luck they wanted $74 a piece for tie rod ends that were anything close to moogs that were grease-able and that was after he gave me a commercial discount. But I did manage to get moogs from Amazon for $104. Also no luck on sway bar links from napa they want $45 a piece and found them on amazon for $21. But they wouldn't ship to me for some reason. I also had the same problem with the fog light bulbs i was trying order.Ill try ebay or another parts store. I didn't go with rock auto cause they wanted to much for shipping.
I also got my spark plugs today from napa. Made sure they weren't premium plugs. They were $4.50 or something like that a piece

08 2500 Ram 6.7 4x4 Exact same thing?
I have 96 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 5.9 L and I get a strong shaking and vibrations at about 50 MPH. If I speed up a little bit it will stop if I slow down a little bit it will stop if I put the transmission in Neutral while driving and shaking the shaking stops. I am at complete loss as to what is causing the Very rough shaking. I have taken the truck to several mechanics and they have put it up on the lift and inpected it throughly. As a result of their advice I have done the following to try and fix the problem:
1. Changed out tires and ballanced
2. had new universal Joints Installed on drive shaft at reputable Off Road Shop
3. replaced track bar with a new one/
4. replaced Steering Damper Shock absorber
The above changes did not fix the problem I still have the same shaking at about 50 to 55 MPH. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem and what they did to fix it. I really can't drive the truck with this problem It is that bad. I really need to get it fixed so I can use this vehicle. Oh let me mention the vehicle has been sitting and not been driven in 2 and 1/2 years. It had a fuel pump probem and would not start I fixed that along with other things and had hoped to be driving the truck by now but cannot comfortably do that with this vibration and shaking problem.

Please let me know your solution! Thank you
