in a post i made regarding my deciding to go with 4.7l or hemi 2003 ram i received several emails saying to never buy a new model/generation engine. assuming you would inn effect be a guinea pig for all the problems the new engine will need twekaed. is this a myth i would suspect it makes some sense logically. i bought the hemi without considering this fact. love it...... so far ;^ is there anyone who has put a lot of miles on their hemi yet todd .

thanks. i will call them. maybe i was reading old posts. could be. i think it was $2k when it was first announced but ive got a kit installed on my 99 and i can tell you i paid $995 for it. another company tsm manufacturing http//www.tsmmfg.com offers a kit for $400 not including calipers. $550 gets you the kit with calipers and flex lines no parking brake. $750 gets you a complete kit with parking brakes. .

lol now you need to jump into this post perhaps you should respond to the post directed at you. the front pinion bearing has no effect on the pinion depth so if the pinion ring and rear pinion bearing look good you can just replace the front bearing and put it back together without the fun of resetting the pinion depth. if they look good i trust your eyeball is calibrated in .001 increments and that you can tell that even after the front bearing has failed there is no variation in the pinion depth due to rear bearing abuse with that eyeball. actually yes i can and so should anyone else that has reasonable eyesight. in order for the bearing to lose even a 1/100 of an inch it is going to leave a ridge on the race and you can both see and feel that. even if it is on the rollers you will still see the deformity and know that the bearing is shot. sounds as if you think you know a lot because you watched someone rebuild your axle. look who is talking mr set pinion depth when replacing carrier bearings lol. if i was repairing an axle for someone else i would replace both of them for no other reason then not having to worry about it later. you claim if it were someone elses axle youd replace both bearings but whine about how much im costing my customers when i say doing the job right means replacing both pinion bearings. no what i am making fun of is your it has to be destroyed mentality. that is what must cost your customers a fortune whenever they bring something to you. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

you are too stupid to be playing under the hood. take it to an ac shop and let them play under the hood. my a/c isnt working in my 97 ram pu and i noticed that the a/c clutch does not come on and drive the compressor at all. i checked to see if it spins and it does. is their a way to test the clutch their is a 2 prong electrical plug leading too it and is it just a matter of putting 12 volts on it .
