up until 03 dodge used a front axle tube that was notched near pumpkin on passanger side for a axle disconnector. the 1500s changed to the cad-less front axle in 02. the 2500/3500s followed in 03. .

ive found that i have some rust-through on my diff cover live in coastal new england. can anyone point me towards either a retail chain or an online retailer that would have a stock replacement cover for the dana 80 all ive seem to be able to find online are expensive performance covers. i did find one here - http//www.jawsgear.com/store/catalog/productinfo.phpcpath=376381&productsid=1800 - would anyone know whether i need the one for standand gear rotation or for reverse im assuming standard but want to be sure. secondly can anyone confirm that it is indeed a dana 80 on the 2500hds with all the corrosion i cant seem to find anything on the housing itself and ive long since lost the under-hood decal having gotten a warranty hood replacement thanks to the faulty latch. thanks in advance! .

hi i have an 04 3500 ram with factory towing mirrors. i broke the drivers side mirror and have a replacement. the problem is how do i remove the plastic molding to effect the swap without destroying it two of the 3 mounting screws are clear but the top door molding is probably held by clips. in which direction should i apply force and how steve if you are talking about the small plastic molding directly on the inside of the door opposit the mirror it comes off with the door panel. it is attached to the door panel. to take it off of the door panel you must first take off the door panel. hope this helps sorry if i misunderstood your fmb north mexico .

in response to napalmheart s post. i thought everyone should know on sep 13 724am john carrington wb2...@stny.rr.com wrote i have a photo of my grandfathers car circa 1930. do you know a site or group where i may upload a .jpg file to get the vehicle identified tia john why not post it here for a starter bob az because this is a text group use photobucket or another free picture hosting site then post the links. we can use them to view the pictures and see if any of us can identify the vehicle in questions besides we like old cars as much as the next group even if we cant ident it = -- chris thanks for posting that. im not technologically advanced enough to give these directions! i love old cars trucks tractors etc. ;+ ken .

suddenly without warning roy exclaimed 9/13/2007 339 am it is a much more common problem than it once was because of modern casting techniques. the new processes allow much thinner and lighter castings but this by itself wouldnt be an issue if the casting was annealed before they machine it. of course that costs money and it isnt done. the newly machined manifold is actually better than a new one because your useage has already annealed the casting and it will not move again. in point of fact a gasket will not be necessary at all. however i would replace the studs as a matter of common sense. it costs very little when they are whole but very expensive if you have to pull the head to drill out a broken one and be sure to use anti seize compound on the threads. steve that would be my thoughts exactly. since he lives he did i miss something ah he just doesnt know me jmc .

on sep 14 717 pm abby.normal back....@nospam.net wrote i agree with you both had my truck been a newer one. however with 90k miles on it i only wanted a few more miles from it - not have the rear end out last the rest of the truck. i also failed to mention that the dealership failed to put the drive shaft back on correctly and in a very short time 2-3 days ended up doing the work again because the new pinion bearing and drive shaft both failed from the vibration. that was dangerous. in response to mike s post. i thought everyone should know most likely it is in tat area. i know of several differential rebuilds from myself and friends. the pinion bearing has gone out in each case. you dont need the entire rear end rebuilt as we did we didnt know. i told the dealership that if they didnt save all the parts for me i was not going to pay. the parts are all fine except the pinion bearing - shot. that cost me $1300 for being stupid and in a hurry. i know now that i could have 1. done it myself; or 2. had another reputable place do the work for much less. i talked to this place after the fact and he said it was common for dealerships to do this - lots of hours = lots of $$$ its common for dearlerships to do that because they have to stand behind their work. if the failed pinion bearing allows the pinion to move around in relation to the ring gear it can cause an abnormal wear pattern. in some cases you actually hear the ring and pinion howling because of poor gear tooth contact not the bad bearing. if you just replace the bearings and re-use the ring and pinion it will be noisy. now you have to take everything apart again to replace the ring and pinion. when any bearing in a differential fails it usually sends metal particles through the entire axle housing. if you look closely at the bearing surfaces you will see the metal particles embedded in the bearing races and rollers. it is not uncommon to see particles of the failed bearing embedded in the ring and pinion gear teeth also. that is the reason why most reputable shops will replace everything. at the very least you must replace all the bearings and flush out the axle housing if you want the job done right. in complete agreement here. -- chris- hide quoted text - - show quoted text - thanks for all the info the truck goes into a shop on monday i will try some of the suggestions and i will let you know the outcome of the shop and my tests!! .

in that case. axle bearings have been exposed to shavings in the fluid also heck they probably need attention too. plus its a prime time to replace those axle seals you have the axles out so why not your already there i got for ya dude unless the tech/shop is crooked as hell when your all the way to the pinion bearings you are already paying full rebuild price for labor. so the only question is what parts do you need and what parts are you willing to pay for as a pm thing while your there remember if you dont replace the axle seals for example and 2 weeks later they start leaking its not the techs fault they leak. you decided not to do them when you had stuff apart when it wouldnt have cost you anything but the part. now you have to pay labor again or should in my opinion because its not his fault or the shops fault that you didnt want to replace the seal because you believed you were going to get charged extra for it. -- chris . 222 339128 46eaffc4$0$11072$4c368faf@roadrunner.com suddenly without warning roy exclaimed 9/13/2007 339 am it is a much more common problem than it once was because of modern casting techniques. the new processes allow much thinner and lighter castings but this by itself wouldnt be an issue if the casting was annealed before they machine it. of course that costs money and it isnt done. the newly machined manifold is actually better than a new one because your useage has already annealed the casting and it will not move again. in point of fact a gasket will not be necessary at all. however i would replace the studs as a matter of common sense. it costs very little when they are whole but very expensive if you have to pull the head to drill out a broken one and be sure to use anti seize compound on the threads. steve that would be my thoughts exactly. since he lives he did i miss something ah he just doesnt know me jmc very true. i am fairly new here and am just getting to know folks. sorry if i mis-gendered you jmc........- ed speaking of gender watch out for the rabbit. we are still trying to figure that one out.bfg da wabbit has a gender does a food processor really have a gender with that belly how can he tell vbg how the f did i get dragged into this one im behaving myself and get attacked from behind while im at work. bunch of fn pricks around here..... gbmfg denny .
