Rear Differential Clunking
As far as the clanking sound check to see how much play you have in the rear-end. Check your U-Joints on your driveshaft. Those gaskets are reusable unless you broke the gasket while taking it off. When you pulled the cover were any of the bolts looser than the others.- truck2569

Exhaust Manifold Bolt Extraction
Instead of all that just make sureyour batteries are disconnected it shuts down the electronics. Wire welder usually doesn't have that kind of effect. But if you were using a stick welder that would be different. Do you have enough room to place a set of vice grips.- truck2569

I have a question to some of the service techs that are on here. I have a 2013 Ram 3500 and was just reading about the Killer Bolt on a Cummins motor. Is that with the 5.9 or the 6.7 and how easy is it to fix before it breaks and ruins my motor to start out with.. And where would I even find...- truck2569

What would you do?
Once you have shavings in the oil pan they have travelled all through the engine. Time for a complete break down or crate motor replacement my opinion.- truck2569

What should I do?
Be prepared for a stiffer ride with the Bilstein's. I had a friend replace his stock to Bilstein's since there one of the top of the line struts. That was his biggest complaint. -
Why should I stay with RAM?
As far as the trucks are concerned it is what ever the person wants. I find the seats in a ram more comfy than the fords since I will be sitting in them for hours on end while traveling. I enjoy the leg room But I'm 6'6 and 330lbs.- truck2569

Oil percent .what does that mean ?
That is true, the only time I had that problem was when I switched from standard full synthetic to Amsoil synthetic. I ended up switching back to the oil I was using.- truck2569

Front Windows, Door Locks, Power Mirrors not working (tried all the common fixes but nothing works)
Have you disconnected your battery and left it unconnected for about a half hour yet. Your going to think I'm nuts but sometimes it re-calibrates the modules. All the electronics in these vehicles can be a nightmare sometimes. What it sounds like is you have a broken wire in the window...- truck2569

New Truck Oil Consumption
Your still in your break end period on the truck engine. See if your truck is still burning oil between changes in 10,000 miles. Just check it before you drive. I'm surprised your mechanics at the dealership didn't tell you that. It takes a little time for things to seat.- truck2569

No OEM shock options?
So buy shocks at your local auto parts store. Or buy some RS5000 or RS7000 series shocks. You would be better off anyhow just because of there warranty on the shocks.- truck2569

I use 5w40 full synthetic in my 3500 change the oil every 10,000 if running the truck a lot. if not then less because diesel fuel some leaks into the crankcase in time and thins the oil. As far as 0 percent. it usually means it is time for an oil change. They set the gauge when they change the...- truck2569

Inside of front windshield frosted over.
The only way to solve this issue is put a littler heater in then vehicle. Itis condensation on the inside of the vehicle that is causing it from the weather change. That is what I had to do if I wasn't going to use my vehicle. -
