Default 2 questions thank you in advance

my first question is i just bought a body lift for my 02 4.7 4x4 and im qondering if anyone around new jersey wants to make a few bucks and help on the install, not sure on how to do it. ive looked around and they want an average of 800 for the install, i cant swing that right now.

and my second question is for my sister who doesnt have a ram. she has a dodge caravan 97, and when you start it, it turns over but the rpms dont move off 0 and then it shuts off after say 20 seconds.. we did a tune up, battery, gas pump, any other suggestions? and there is no cel, an dealrship cant figure it out.

thanks to everyone again, u guys are always a huge help

You can do the lift! Just take it one step at a time. I've done three of these and I'd help you out if I was closer.This isn't a how to, but it does give you a good feel for what's involved.

In reference to the Caravan, the rpms have to be over 0 if it's running for 20 seconds,just your guage isn't showing it. So my guess is that this is an electrical issue. Maybe a crankshaft position sensor or something like that.

Rubberfrog great video as always,I would love to hang with you sometime you seem like my kinda guy(in a strait hetero way of course)lol
