    2005 Ram 2500 Free Spin Install & Other Goodies

    Attempted to powder coat the front cover. Came out decent except for a couple spots, not sure if it was contamination or something in the process that caused it. Oh well. Good enuf'

    Yes, afaik, all of the kits for the 2000+ trucks retain the outboard/slip on rotor feature. I know the 94-99 Dana 60 kits keep the rotors inboarded. Fun fact is the 94-99 Rams use the same calipers as a lot of GMT400 trucks and other GMs of the era.

    Studs pressed in In the machining trade, this is called the Tennessee floor finish. You know, they could cut their cycle time a lot by using a 3" face mill. Anything is better than a 1/2" endmill... But all on now. Now just put rotors/calipers back on and reconnect steering, install front...

    Are you talking about the wheel arch trim or steel patch panels for the wheel arches for the bed itself?

    2 vs 3 v- groove power steering pulley

    Either should be ok, something with Molybdenum Disulfide would be best. Be sure the pulley bore is clean and clear of any paint or coatings.

    Looks decent from over here. I don’t envy you having to play with that clamshell differential contraption :D

    2005 Ram 2500 Free Spin Install & Other Goodies

    Cleaned the tapers out and installed knuckles on ball joints per EMF's directions. Couple of dings on the spindles. I'll be honest not thrilled about that at the price point these are at, maybe that is just me being a machinist, I can be pretty critical of stuff like that. But filed the mating...

    I am happy to report that the replacement (same P/N) Spicer joint was machined correctly and went together without issue. The part number is 5006813. To anyone that might be doing this, or even just a u joint change on one of these but keeping the unit bearings, definitely check it out before...

    6 Lug to 5 Lug Conversion

    Here is a quick cad drawing I did to see, 5x5, 6x5.5, 8x6.5. Should be correct but it is late and I'm tired. All holes are drawn as a 1/2" diameter.

    6 Lug to 5 Lug Conversion

    I’d reckon they swapped the axle shafts, should able to use a, say 1972 C10 axle shaft. Both 12 bolt truck axles, widths should be the same, but 5x5.

    rock auto discount code for 10/24 to 11/8/24

    All the RockAuto codes I’ve used have been 5%, also if you ship to a commercial address, shipping is a fair bit cheaper.

    6 Lug to 5 Lug Conversion

    Honestly, in my opinion, not worth it. You would be going from a 10 bolt to a 10 bolt. I’m not sure, but I’d suspect the limited slip would be a G80 Gov-Loc, not exactly the most desirable thing to most. Unlikely to find axle shafts that are 5x5 in that length, as in that same era Astros and...

    Axle ratio help

    Or pop the rear cover and count the teeth/find the numbers on the ring gear to verify. If you haven't changed the gear oil in your ownership it's probably time to do so anyways. Gear oil is cheap compared to rebuilding a rear axle.

    In some further digging/research of this, it appears that spyntec and Yukon also use shims for the 03-08 trucks. They all use the outer shafts for Dana 60s, 35 spline. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are sourcing them all from the same place. I have found a few older forum posts that people were...

    LE9 305 w ESC Performance upgrades '86 k5 Blazer

    If I’m recalling correctly, the esc box is in the cab behind the glove box area. Wires should run from the large plug on the firewall above the passenger side cylinder head. It works with the knock sensor to pull timing.

    In order to get pictures of the physical shims, have to wait until I’m back up at the shop. These are some screenshots of them from Dynatracs literature/listings. They match what we have, 0.04” stamped steel shims. They do measure out to .040. Checked the width of the inside of the ears and...

    2005 Ram 2500 Free Spin Install & Other Goodies

    Continued work yesterday. Ran into a bit of a snafu with the knuckle U joints. I had realized after assembling them on Friday that there are shims required as the 2003-2008 aam u joints are 2.920 between the snap rings, these kits are made to work with the 2000-2002 Dana 60s like what is in my...
