The seller of that truck got WAAAYYY too much money for the used Ram. I couldn't believe how much Alex paid for it. Aftermarket parts or not, that truck was not work 57K. It is well known, at least with my experience and others who I associate with, that aftermarket anything is not included to determine resale value. Look, its just expected that when you add all the expense to spruce up your ride you understand you wont get it back when it comes sale time. Well, in this case the seller did get a bit of it back so this isn't a good example obviously....jeez...

The bearing wasn't that much of a problem but it had started having a trans leak, took it into the transmission shop to find the vibration caused a hairline crack in the bellhousing.

I solved my issues with a single (for a 1 piece) 5" aircraft grade aluminum driveshaft with larger u-joints for durability and towing from Driveshaft Specialist in San Antonio. Did the measuring myself with their website Cheat-Sheet template for a custom fit and contacted them by email. And about 10 days later, a very long tube arrived at my home with a brand new custom driveshaft (I kept my old one for later actions if needed). It has been on the truck for over a year and no issues.

It will give more speed over the same revolutions and ride over bumps and holes better, but it takes more power to turn the larger radius. Going another direction to show a comparison, use a garden hose. Take one 10 ft long and spin it around keeping the outer end off the ground. Now take one 20 ft long and spin it around the same way.

I can never convince myself to buy a nice used truck that cost more than a hopefully reliable and has a warranty new truck for work.

I refuse to buy based on a warranty. To often companies fight warranty work anyways. I buy older pre emissions pre elog class 8 trucks. I build them to new and never look back

Back YEARS ago Alex my friend had a lifted F150 with 36" tall mud tires, he was always getting flats and stuff stuck in them. He bought an over the top PLUG gun and HD plugs to go with it, NEVER had a plug like that (Done completely from the outside and ON the wheel and ON the truck. I have used what I call "standard HD" plug kits available at most auto parts stores, plugged MANY tires of my own, NEVER a problem!! Geesh!!

Honestly, Dodge has been spending tons of money to push their brand name at every corner of the car market. I understand that people are brand loyal but the FACT is that Dodge is the most unreliable American cars on the road. They are getting better but the only reliable Dodge is a Cummins truck and that is the only reliable part. When Dodge first put the Cummins in their trucks, they had to have Cummins design their frames because they couldn't build one that wouldn't bend under the torque. Ford or Chevy but I would never buy Dodge, specially for a work vehicle.

The boys down in the RAM engineering department designed the truck to run on their specific tire size and configuration and some guy jacks it up and mounts oversized tires just for show

Modified trucks are not good for HotShoting, not only will you have hard time find parts out on the road, you're also changing what the engineers designed for. "Leave It alone!"
