Update, None Really. But since I have a minute.....Its been 9 Days and still no word back from Bob. Phoned Stu direct and he confirmed that its gonna be a 114 LSA and has been ordered up. I P/UP a new Timing Chain Assy, Crank Bolt, and waiting for Cam Bolt and Miller Damper Insert Tool For Pulling (Have the install Tool already). Besides That Have started to educate myself about doin the gear change and as you know mentioned that I was planning to remove the diffs to save money. Well confirmed it is much easier for front diff to be removed to do the Job, so that said I think I will start with the front first as with the rear there is the Auburn goin in too. My Plan is to do the rear when i replace my springs and since I want Caltracs I may do that at the same time as the longer kit bolts are available for my application (Xtra 40 bucks). But I need to confirm if I need them even longer because I am considering a 4 inch lift kit that comes with a rear add a leaf so I need to crunch some numbers and if i do it right can kill 4 birds with one stone (gears, caltracs, leafs, add a leaf/lift kit) hell since I will need longer shocks (Lift kit has Bilsteins) may as well do the sway-bar and diff cover (20 degrees cooler they claim for the cover plus cool look factor) did I miss anything. Long Post eh! I plan on changing the way my exhaust comes out the back as well (price for that Idea 500 Tomatoes).

It would be a serious breach of the blood code.

You'll just have to buy a 03 Ram and try to order some parts for it to find out how forgotten a transition model (03) can be. I think most folks would recommend a 05 and newer if looking for a Ram.

These items will be done after, Gears and DSp purchase Oct/Nov and may also take a back seat to the SRt-10 hood, and ported TB Mods. So yes, lots planned but am gonna tone her down a bit and go sleeper for a while.

hey guys quick question. When turning at low speeds (driving through a parking lot etc) i hear some rubbing or grinding of some sort. I can only hear it with the windows down so its not too loud. My tires are rubbing so what all might it be?


also, would it look funny if I used plasti dip on my grill inserts or should i try a color match spray?
