cleaaaannnn. looks good. i bet its a pain to keep that clean tho. welcome to the forum.

and for modding: intake- most people k&n, exhaust- to each his own/youtube for what you like, leveling kit is the simplest/easiest lift and allow for bigger tires. ha just playing around, seems like those are the typical post, so get ready for seeing those everyday, and ive personally learned alot from em.

How does the leveling kit ride on the torsion bar suspension?

I got my new rack and pinion on today. I went with one from Advanced Auto. It's a reman OEM one with a lifetime warranty. Paid $182.99 for it, $3.19 for a quart of poer steering fluid and I'm getting a free alignment from a buddy of mine who works at the Dodge dealer monday. So for less than $200 I never have to worry about a failing rack and pinon again. It's simple to change too. I went ahead and added the hose clamp to the power steering line as well, Thanks to you guys on this forum for that tip!

NOW, it's time to start some Mods! I'm thinking about stuff to help it breath better. Intake, exhaust.... I also want to level it out.

yea the dealers really clean up used trucks when they leave the lot. looked like mine the day i got it...hasnt been that clean since. Nice truck though...good thing you caught the steering problem early. And i would say,personally, before you start tricking the truck...do a full fluid change on everything for the truck especially since its used. If i was smarter a year ago i would have done that as soon as i got my 04 used.
