    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    Figured I'd post an update: 12k miles and 6ish months later - EVAP repair still working for me (knock on wood).

    Fabtech Dirtlogic Rear Shocks, Sharp bouncing

    I have experienced a similar hwy bounce with my Bilsteins - was there before and after my Dobinsons. I wonder if some of it is the E-rated tires?

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    Yeah...Les Schwab... haven't had many good experiences there. I keep telling myself I'm never going to go to one again, but then something comes up and they're the only ones who are open and/or can squeeze me in.

    Nice. Thank you! This site continues to be a huge help time and time again.

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    Ah that does make much more sense than my explanation. Thank you. Now to try to figure out the cause of the metallic-sounding clunk.

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    This may be worse than I thought. Took it to a suspension shop and they said the UCA seemed fine. Finally got around to checking more thoroughly myself and it doesn't look fine to me. Attached are pictures of the "healthy" passenger side and then the malfunctioning/bad driver side. Looks like...

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    Definitely the lifted UCAs. When I replaced the ball joint last year I also quadruple checked it was the correct part.

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    357 days and 15k miles later IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. Same side (driver). This time I noticed a metallic-sounding "clunk" going over speed bumps. Jacked the truck up and I can get the driver side to click, but not passenger. Pretty sure that UCA ball joint is under warranty this time, but why...

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    Ah, water drain makes more sense. For whatever reason that piece was newly installed todat.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    Welp, stopped at 4 different gas stations on the way home and put $10 in the tank at each station without issue. As I said in my previous post, I'm not getting too excited because of all the failed Vapor Canister fixes. It seems like a few people have had the EVAP repair work for a few...

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    Having this issue with my '21. 23 gallon tank. At the dealership now getting it worked on - I think they are taking the charcoal canister/EVAP system fix route, so my hopes are pretty low after reading posts from everyonr else. However, I do drive in a lot of dusty / dirty conditions, so...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Tints. 20% front windows, 35% over preexisting factory tinted glass everywhere else. Also had them put 35% on the back glass of the topper. Wish I had a good excuse for waiting until the end of the truck's second summer (40k miles) to do this.

    2" Level and rear spring choices?

    Hellwig makes adjustable rear links. I have them and have no complaints. Core 4x4 seems to be a popular option for links as well. Judging by my experience and from these forums, there is no appreciable movement in the track bar if you are keeping your rear lift 2" or less. Freedom Offroad makes...

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    67-3412 REPLACEMENT BALL JOINT 67-3412 Replacement Ball Joint That fit my UCAs that came with lift kit #66-1921. Hope this is of some help.

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    UPDATE: Got it replaced a few days ago. Was $130 for parts and labor. Despite no noticeable symptoms while driving, I didn't want to wait on it because I wanted the alignment to be completed before the "30 day alignment guarantee" expired from my previous visit. With new upper ball joint the...

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    Thank you for your reply. Any insight into how often they were greased?

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    Good question. Supposedly the place where I had the UCAs installed does a once-over of the suspension whenever I am in there for an alignment (6 alignments since I've had the truck), but none of my service records from them mention greasing the ball joints. The dealership I go to for oil changes...

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    Not that the tech or I could see. Looks just like the passenger (normal) side. Out of the RL warranty period.

    Readylift upper ball joint needs replacement at 34k?

    As the title suggests, I have 34k on my ReadyLift upper control arms and their respective upper ball joints. Was at the local tire/suspension shop yesterday doing seasonal tire swap and an alignment and was told there was too much play in the driver upper ball joint. The tech had me feel driver...

    Dobinsons 2" lift coils / heavier rate and bilstein 5160s

    R.Duff, thanks for the intel on the Dobinsons! I just put the same coils in my truck after putting in Hellwig adjustable end links a couple weeks ago. Too early to give much report, but I made a point of hitting speed bumps, a dirt road, and the interstate on the way home - so far it is feeling...
