Apologies. I didn’t get notified there was a response and didn’t see it until I was checking my recent posts. They changed out the oil cooler for a new one. Factory part.

I'm looking into this tonight, as AMSOIL sold me MV ATF for use in my BW48-11 (Which I'm assuming that's what I have, as I have the 4WD Auto option on my shifter). I looked on the Mopar Parts site (https://store.mopar.com/transmission-and-transfer-case-assemblies) and found this, going through...

Thanks. I may have to go this route. It’s a shame the rebuild kit costs just under the retail price of the whole shaft assembled with additional parts. All the best, Glenn

I appreciate it, but I had a different kind of grinder. Not the thin blade one he had. I did it off the truck. First I separated the CV shaft from the Output shaft with a reciprocating saw using a carbide blade. Kind of the same principle he used in the video, but with a bigger / different...

Well… I got the CV shaft and Output Shaft separated today. Lots of time with the grinder. Output shaft is toast. I’m going to have to rebuild it. But I cleaned it up and put it back on the truck without the CV shaft today so at least it’s drivable now (3wd). Now I need to find a good...

Yep. I found rebuild kits, but if I can't get the actual unit separated from the CV shaft, the rebuild kit won't do me much good. I was looking for the entire part - assembled. Looks like I may have to find a way to cut the old shaft off, and then rebuild with one of those kits.

Mopar eStore has a pop up that says: Not for Sale. No Longer Available For Purchase Ever? Like no longer manufactured ever again? That's just nuts if that's the case.

Where did you find aftermarket replacements for that piece? I'd be happy to take a chance, just to get my Ram back on the road. At this point, I'm tempted to turn my 4x4 into a 2wd just to be able to drive it again. Lucky to have my son's Toyota Camry to go back and forth to work, but when...

I gave up on separating the CV shaft from the Differential Output Shaft and removed the whole thing in one piece. Even if I get them separated, I have a good feeling the teeth on the Differential Output shaft are worn / rusty, so I just figured I’d buy a whole replacement Output Shaft to go...

My upper ball joint nut separated from the attached washer. It’s beveled into the washer so it’s attached together. I wanted to at least replace that one, and figured while I’m at it… just do all three on each side. I was told not to use an impact when putting on the new half shaft nut, as it...

Well… I’m making headway. I ordered new C clips to replace the ones on the shafts, greased it up lightly and popped the drivers side on today. Discovered when I was checking torque specs for reattaching the upper / lower ball joints and tie rod that you aren’t supposed to reuse the...

Anyone tackle this job (that knows some tricks)???

I tackled the CV axle / front hub bearing change today. Instructions were fairly straightforward. Got to the point that I needed to remove the CV axle from the passenger side and it’s not coming off. I squirted Kroil into the CV axle splines with a syringe and in no time it was moving and...

So 33 ft lbs? If I’m reading that right.

Changed out my sway bar bushings today. Searched the site and found torque specs ranging from 21 to 63 ft lbs, along with references to two to four ugga tugga’s. 😆 Anyone know actual factory specs? I went with 30 for now. Had to go get a burger, so it had to get torqued to something.

Well… I get to test their return policy. One hub was fine. The other was damaged. The sensor wire was cracked at a 90 degree angle right where it enters the hub. So I returned it today. So gotta keep the fingers crossed this turns out well…

Bit of a rant. Gotta get this off my chest, because I just feel like whining a little this evening. 😆 On 3/9/25, I placed my order for two Axle Half Shaft, Remanufactured, from Mopar.com National eStore. Today, I get a notice that my order was cancelled. No explanation as to why. Just that...

Sounds like Rock Auto likes Ram truck people.... :cool:. I think I'll be just fine, seeing all the happy buyers on this forum. Thanks for the responses. Makes me feel better about my first purchase with them.

I needed new front wheel bearings / hubs. Mopar would have been over $800 for both sides. Rock Auto was about $575. I have never used them before, but people on here seemed to love them, so I took the chance. I probably shouldn't have checked their reviews before ordering, because it was a...

I used mine on a 2019 Ram 1500 4x4, and until the last oil change, it was working just fine. I just had to move slowly while moving it through the maze to get it clear and then dumped into the oil drain pan. But last oil change, I must have been in a rush, and I got oil everywhere. Geez. I...
