I recently found this Dodge forums here and just wanted to say thanks for the helps and knowledge from you guys who take the time to share in the Ram Vans section. I've had my ole '99 3500 5.9 extended cargo van taking up space in the driveway for 2 years due to a trashed rear end, but she's rolling again thanks to a good n reasonable rear end guy in town here and also to you guys who take the time posting here and helping out some of us fellers of other skills who like to tinker but ain't mechanics. Even with me being a lowly floor guy, I installed upper control arms and lower ball joints and tie rods...it's awesome and appreciated! Well... except for when I busted open a finger trying to unthread an upper ball joint, returned those and went for the whole control arm, worked out much better... and later while pounding out the lower ball joints the hammer grazed the fender as I was swinging a 4 lb hammer, I flinched and the hammer came down directly on my knee! Ouch!!! My eyes got a little misty on that one and also found I can holler in soprano too!
The tips for tuning up, routing plug wires, cleaning up connections and sensors, diagnosing and recognizing problems and all learned here is so valuable, thanks all!
Hope to contribute in some positive way in the future here too.

Thanks again... Jim
