3500
- Tires (currently has tiny little tires (like smaller than the stock Chevy tires!) that wear horribly and look really bad)
- Tailgate support wires, 1 needs replacing and the other went missing
- The black "surrounding" area around both my rear tail lights is cracked, so i guess the whole assembly needs replacing
- Trailer hitch light hookup "box" has been bent, round connector is in an oval shape (oops!) and needs to be bent back into shaped/replaced.
- Rear bumper needs to be straighted (also part of the oops!)
- Dent on right rear side right after bumper needs to be fixed, its a pretty good sized dent, also cracked the dually fender a little but the fender would probably "uncrack" from what someone can see from a few feet of the dent was fixed
- Drivers side door has just a tiny bit of "rust bubbles" along the bottom side
- Random paint scratches
- Airbag light
- ABS light
- Fuel gauge
- Low Fuel Warning Light (related to fuel gauge I assume)
- CD Player will not accept/eject/play a CD
- Right side mirror needs replacing, it is cracked and looks to have been pieced back together and the black rubber rim replaced with black "gunk", like silicone (its quite a mess)
- CB antenna mounts need new wires
- Needs a CB Raido to make use of the antennas (need an antenna for the passenger side)
- AC needs a recharge
- Vent switch does not switch from defrost, guess at least I can defrost my window during the winter!
- Engine light under hood does not work
- I need to grease the passenger side door hinges so it does not SQUEAK upon entry
- Bit of a tear in drivers seat (Leather)
- Small water leak on passenger side when it rains(2500 does it too, must be one of those "bugs")
- Steering wheel is all torn up, it has a cover, but needs replacing
- Needs a headliner (like how on earth do you lose a headliner???? I guess you just gotta laugh at previous owners)
- I need to finish off my straight pipe
- I need to keep the rear slider from RATTTTTTLING away when I accelerate with massive straight pipe drone
- I need to increase the idle speed
- Carpet doesn't look too good and needs to be replaced
- Needs front wheel covers (the "rim part", not the center caps)
- Needs a real bed liner, not a plastic piece of ... you know ... that gets all bent up and traps mulch and dirt in the ridges
- Needs a paint job and minor dent removal in a few spots (I think white would look very clean)


And I still love this truck:
It starts every morning without a hitch
It sets off car alarms
It gets about 19MPG
It gets me to and from school every day during the week, it hauls hay bales and feed and dirt and mulch and equipment and a hopefully soon to be gooseneck horse trailer on the weekends.
The Cummins just purs, doesn't burn oil, and is loud as all get out!
The transmission shifts are just beyond comparison than a stock automatic, and feels like it will jerk a trailer apart upon acceleration (if I had above-stock power!) THANK YOU MCMOPAR!
Again it is extremely loud
90% of the things I listed in the "needs repairs" list are just little things that I will probably never worry about unless I win a lot of money!

- 2500
Brakes
Tires
Water Leak Fixed
Electric PacBrake switch that turns it on needs new wires
Needs a transmission like the 3500, even though for a stock auto it is fine
Needs a straight pipe
Needs 3.54s
Fits in with other trucks too well (I like how a reg. cab dually stands out )

 

well thanks to todd in coventry my truck doesn't leak any oil now, so thats the only problem i would consider major with my truck.

little things it needs and that will be done before seekonk:
4" exhaust
kdp tabbed
15.5 or 16*timing to lower egts and smoke levels for the dyno
a BHAF or s&b intake
home ground 0 plate for the dyno only **** tranny won't take that for more than week on the streets before something breaks.
idle turned up
gauge pillar mounted instead of just sitting there(but they do work darn good)
add limited slip additive to rear end
synthetic oil change engine.
flex lite dual electric fan kit(i think my fan clutch is shot and im missing the fan shroud, and overflow tank+washer fluid resevoir, so i think im a good canidate for that swap)

things i think it should have but won't untill spring atleast:
dtt hot rod valvebody
tripple disc torque converter
ats valvet switch
3kgsk
htt or ats manifold
35's and a leveling kit
20% tints all the way around
275db train horns
two 5" aussie stacks straight piped
those sweet tow mirrors
a sport front bumper painted to match
a sport grill painted to match
spray in bedliner.

 

My new paint needs to be buffed out,
New body moulding needs to be installed,
Replace the rear wheel cylinders.
Fuel tank is below 1/4 again.
(above happens every couple of days)

- AC Evaporator
- Heater Core
- Dash
- Inside Overhead Light on Passenger Side
- Batteries probably soon (still running the originals from 2001)
- Clutch

 

Here we go

-Drivers window rolls up not down
-Clutch slipping
-Oil leak? Not sure where from
-Tail gate pivot point
-Shim the rear carrier bearing (minor vibration)
-EGT guage bounces all around (bad ground?)

That should keep me busy for now, just need more time in the day.

 

This post is awesome, I was feeling bad about my truck, but I got a few more goodies, rust on drivers door, and I think I said shocks earlier.

 

-vacuum pump leaking oil
-possible APPS
-exhaust leak at turbo
-tailgate won't unlatch with handle
-front brakes wear out way to fast
Probably more, all I can think of right now

 

ATS Torque Converter

 

I guess it's my turn to play...

I might have slightly bent the output shaft of my steering box
Exhaust leak in the stock piping
Pyro. Still.
Minor body work I won't fix...
I really think that's about it.

 

new harmonic balancer needs installed, along w/ oil pressure sending unit. Both are rolling around the cab waiting patiently... and the t/c slips when I get on the onion, but baby needs a new pair of shoes first

edit- I just read another post and you guys are costing me $$$!! new tires, buff my Alcoa's, #10 plate after converter... I don't know if the baby will ever get new shoes

 

left front axel seal and 4 new tires.
6''miters
thing i dont need but want.
cam,o-ring, studs and some valve train componets

 

I forgot, third gear synchro is out. Has been since I got it. Double clutching is habit now

 

Its a chevy, need I say more? Just rebuilt the trans and needs a new windshield now.
