    Power Electric Seat Tilt Stopped Working

    Thanks. Hopefully the 4 bolts aren't rusted on. That would be great to get to it by removing the cushion. I would think that replacing the motor would be easier to do than replacing the shaft and gear. The price difference looks like $30 more, which is low enough to be worth less hassle.

    Power Electric Seat Tilt Stopped Working

    I believe this is correct. When the problem first started, the rear of the seat was going up and down a little bit (not fully) but with a "clicking" or "grinding" noise. I stopped messing with it, figuring it was the teeth of a plastic gear getting broken off. When I got home, I tried to it...

    Replacing Fuel Tank With Titan 55 Gallon Fuel Tank

    Can someone confirm and provide the how-to steps to re-program the computer for the larger tank size so the EVIC digital display shows the correct "Miles to empty" calculation? With the larger tank swap, I understand that the analog needle fuel gauge will display correctly, but the EVIC digital...

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    I told the seller I'm doing a final inspection and bringing someone with me to check out the truck before I hand over the check, I said I want to make sure I'm getting what I want. He said that sounds good. If there is structural damage or anything more than surface rust, I'm not buying it...

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    If that was true, they would have told me to get the F-350 PowerStroke 6.0L that I wanted! I told the seller I'm going to do another inspection before I give him the check, and I'm bringing another person with me.

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    I've been going to my local mechanic shop for years with my 2 other cars. They don't try and find things wrong just so they can get work. They look at issues I have questions about, and don't charge and don't "find" problems if there aren't any. I trust them completely and believe what they say...

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    I just came back from my mechanic shop. I showed all the photos of the truck underside to the mechanic, the diesel mechanic, and the shop owner. (edited for brevity) My mechanic shop is trusted by me and I voiced my concerns and your concerns. They gave me their opinion. Now the decision is...

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    I think your assessment of the boat is spot-on. I did some research on the seller, found his old boat for sale (google'd his phone number).

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    The truck is 2 states away, 260 miles roundtrip for me. I drove up there today to check it out. I'm taking the photos to my local mechanic in Virginia to see what he thinks. A friend in the towing business recommended as you did, to have it checked out. He said I should ask the seller to...

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    Thank you. If it's "surface rust" then probably not a big deal. Replacing the rusty skid plate, not a problem. But there's some pitting it looks like in the other areas. My friend is assuming the mount is cracked. He only saw the photos you see here. I can't tell unless maybe if someone grinded...

    Urgent! Deciding on a used Dodge Ram 3500. Is this bad damage?

    Hi, I'm new here. I looked at a 2007.5 3500 today. I took this pic underneath, looking for rust. I'm looking to make a decision to buy/no-buy on this one. Is this bad? My friend said "that mount is cracked where the rust is" and "too much rust" and "run away from buying this!" Is he right...
