I have an 2004.5 ram 2500 4x4 short bed.

After replacing everything except my tires, which will be first on the list prior to this, my truck still experiences death wobble after.

- Emf Ball joints

- Carli Track Bar

- Synergy Drag Link and Tie Rod

- Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer

- Red Head steering box (4 bolt)

the instructions in the Carli track bar mention that if the death wobble continues after install to upsize from 14mm to 16mm track bar hardware and remove the sleeves.

Has anyone had to do this before?

I met a mechanic who works on a fleet of 04.5 ram 3500 4x4s who said he had one truck they fixed everything on and would still have to buy new tires every few thousand miles to keep the death wobble at bay.

He ended up scrapping the truck because it just never was fixed even with conpletely rebuilt axles, new hubs, complete front end swap and even steering brace didn’t solve it for longer than it took for the tires to round out.

he never tried upsizing the track bar hardware, so I am looking to find someone who has done this mod, why they did and if it solved your issue.

Today a huge ban wave has gone out, the mass reporters win again.

The GDKP gold sellers once again winning the automatic report system war.

My chat log for my ban consisted of “LFG Scholo / Strat / UBRS“

my reason for ban was Botting / Exploitation…. I literally transferred from hardcore and my mistake was believing Whitemane would be a fun experience… now because of a terrible report system

should be overturned but this is ridiculous

Well, I got a good run out of the old girl.

p1222 code no longer clearing up with fuel additives and topping the tank off.

last fuel filter swap was 4,000 miles ago.

truck is audibly different and no longer putting out above 17,000 psi fuel rail pressure unless foot to the floor in which case 23,000ish is the peak.

these numbers should be 22,000 and 27,500 respectively.

truck is definitely low on power and throttle response.

How do I got about testing my cp3 pump and injectors at home?

I was able to bandaid this issue since I bought the truck but now pretty sure the injectors are constantly returning too much fuel which is then preventing the pump from pressurizing properly.

any chance a filter swap might solve this or does it sound like Injector / pump?

is there a special socket needed to torque the fuel tubes? I am assuming a crowsfoot line wrench is what I will need.

that black tube coming from the crank case has just been smoking from the time it starts to when its shut off and it has been smelling really odd at idle.

people at stop lights look at me funny because there’s a cloud coming from underneath the front and it smells awful, any suggestions on where to start?
