99 1500 ram 4x4 parts
I have an auto trans, transfer case, steering gearbox, front springs, steering shaft from an 99 ram 1500 4x4. I bought the running gear and motor for the motor(360) for another project. I was told it has 90k on drive line. The body was severely damaged from a tree falling on it so the guy parted it out. I'm asking $400 for the trans, $250 for the transfer case, make an offer on the remaining parts. The front axles are missing but I should have them soon. The left inner axle is sold. email me at motorhead446@hotmail.com. thanks

RE: 99 1500 ram 4x4 parts
Do you think the fellow parting out the rest of this 99 RAM 1500 might have the jack and tool set? I recently found them missing from the '96 1500 ram 4x4 I bought 2 yrs ago. Haven't needed them yet, but ...
You would think they would be easy to find in a salvage yard. Not so. As soon as a truck is put in a yard, customers pull the jack and tools to get parts from it or from other wrecks. They leave them scattered on the ground where they get buried, corroded and lost. I tried 6 yards and nada. Even searched in the mud.
Aftermarket stuff from an auto parts store isn't a good solution. The factory jack sits in a place where no aftermarket jack would fit - a generic jack would work but would be nuisance being loose. The bigger problem is the tool kit has a driver for the spare tire cable and I haven't found something to substitute for that. Well, did test the cable system by wedging just the right size cold chisel in the socket and turning the chisel shaft with a wrench. It only took me 10 min to lower the tire that way - don't want to think about doing that on the side of the road, at night in the rain.
