OK, my used '03 1500 QC, 5.7, 4x4 SLT that I bought in december last year was missing the jack and the ratchet and the lug wrench, I had 2 pieces of extension. So I bought 1 off of Craigslist but the ratchet was for a hex shaft (mine is a square shaft). So I ordered another jack and ratchet from a salvage yard. Once again the ratchet was for a hex shaft and the jack was almost 2x's bigger that the 1 I got off of craigslist. What's up with this crap? I now have 2 complete sets of jacks and accessories. Are either 1 of these jacks for a 1500? I now have 2 complete sets of jacks and accessories but I still need the ratchet for a square shaft and the lug wrench for a square shaft. Hammer and Weed can you help clarify this? By the way, anyone need a jack set?
What ratchet? My 03 came with the jack, 3 pieces of extension, the keyed piece to lower the spare and the lug wrench with the square hole to spin the rods to raise/lower the jack.
JESUS! This is becoming a mess! What keyed piece? To lower my spare, you just need the square end of 1 of the extensions. The ratchets.....that's what I am trying to figure out.
The 2nd set was supposed to be from an '04 1500. The salvage yard in Ohio confirmed it several times over the phone. I still got the hex shaft and a similar looking hydraulic jack.
