thanks people! i checked the pinion depth and mesh pattern before removal so i have a good reference. i suppose i could just go for it and use a new shim of same thickness then install and recheck the depth. if it comes up short i could add shims behind the bearing race in the housing. if it comes up long i have a problem 50-50 chance! im glad i read about the problems people are having with pinion bearings here. i started to get the whine that at first sounded like tires. i figured that at 70k my gears should still be fine but after reading about early failures i blocked up the rear and ran it unloaded and in gear...ugh! just as a data point the truck is a 98 w/70k miles 2wd 5.8l 1500 and has towed the occasional heavy load but in general has been treated well. the only other problem has been an annoying coolant leak at the thermostat housing. -bruce .

whats really odd in my opinion is the old 79 d-150 my son now drives has the 9.25 axle in it with over 400000 miles on it afaik. i put one set of outer bearings in it at just under 300000 otherwise untouched. so whats gone wrong with that axle design since 79 -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams thanks people! i checked the pinion depth and mesh pattern before removal so i have a good reference. i suppose i could just go for it and use a new shim of same thickness then install and recheck the depth. if it comes up short i could add shims behind the bearing race in the housing. if it comes up long i have a problem 50-50 chance! im glad i read about the problems people are having with pinion bearings here. i started to get the whine that at first sounded like tires. i figured that at 70k my gears should still be fine but after reading about early failures i blocked up the rear and ran it unloaded and in gear...ugh! just as a data point the truck is a 98 w/70k miles 2wd 5.8l 1500 and has towed the occasional heavy load but in general has been treated well. the only other problem has been an annoying coolant leak at the thermostat housing. -bruce -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

thanks tom. i think you deserve a raise. -- budd cochran for that it would be better to talk to one of the other guys like tom lawrence. i think it can but im not sure. the pcm can be re-programmed by the dealer to accomodate the new tire size. hell need to tell the techs the new revs per mile of the tire usually available from the tire manufacturer. alternately it can be calculated based on the advertised size of the tire. in this case it works out to 630 revolutions per mile. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

heres an example from my experiences of a misinterpretation of scripture years ago when i was 20 i attended a presbyterian church with my girlfriend. the pastor read john 316-17 for the verse that sunday then spent 45 minutes telling the congregation how everyone had to earn their salvation by their works on earth. nowhere in those two verses nowhere in the bible does it say a christian has to earn his salvation. it says the very opposite in the ephesians verse in my sigline. it does say a christian will do the works of a christian because he is now a christian in other verses and you are to judge him by his works. now who would know best what jesus meant by what he said and did a disciple of his or a 1st generation student of a disciple paul wrote to the ephesians . . .or a liberal college instructed theologian nearly 2000 years after the fact the bible is concise and clear to those that seek what it really has to say. so who decides what a verse means god. the other day the comment was made about tv evangelicals and their money-grubbing. that is not scriptural as the bible says the workman is worthy of his meat. . . .to be paid according to their service rendered. if theyre preaching that you can name it and claim it for example then theyre wrong and shouldnt get a penny because that is not in the bible. otoh if theyre preaching that salvation is a gift from god thru the sacrifice of the lamb of god available to anyone then ask for a donation that is not outside the scriptural meanings. the workman will receive according to his workmanship. as for other gods if you choose to follow them that is your choice but i will answer any questions about my god. but ask this question of those other gods what did they do for you even though you were not worthy of a moment of their time or do they need to be appeased so they wont make you live in mortal fear do they demand sacrifices or accept your sins do they insist you meet their rules and requirements first or do they accept you as you are worthless -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams budd cochran wrote heres a radical thought how about following the values god gave which god yours or any of the scores of other gods of the world secondly even if we talk about the same god based on the same bible different people will interpret gods word in differing ways. there is no single interpretation of the bible that all agree on 100%. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

they want to harge me over $50.00 do diagnose it. i figured somebody out there must have a clue to tell me what to check before i go pay the dealership lots of $$$ to fix something that may be simple. any ideas sure. the switch that makes the 4x4 light come on is on the cad central axle disconnect on the passenger-side of the front axle. youll see an electrical connection on the side closest to the passenger tire. the switch is a plunger-type switch normally closed but held open by the shift motor when in 2wd mode. disconnect the electrical connector and short the two pins in the connector with the ignition turned on. if the light comes on its a problem with the mechanical switch on the cad. if not you either have a broken wire or a lamp out in the instrument cluster. of course this is all assuming that youre correct and 4wd is really engaging. .

well since i am a feebleminded asshole according to craig c. and as it appears that he is the new self-appointed moderator and net nanny of aadt i guess there are no more post allowed in the group an un-moderated one at that unless it pertains specifically to dodge trucks. man what a boring group this will become. nice talking with you all. ^ craig who he has no standing so he can fuck himself. anything else yall need solved -- --scott hendryx-- .

if it is a factory radio the code should be in your owners manual. if it is an aftermarket radio i.e. kenwood and such get the make and model and call that manufacture. they are the only ones that would be able to provide you with the code for it unfortunately a dealer cant help with something that is not factory. hi my dad has a 2002 dodge ram 1500; he recently disconnected the battery when working on his truck and since putting it back in we cannot get the radio to work. we have called the person who sold us the truck second hand but he doesnt know either. does anyone have any advice thanks .
