***HELP PLEASE, I need a few random things fixed on my truck***
I just posted this on craigslist and thought I'd post this here too. Call me if you can help.
I have a 98.5 Dodge Ram 24v 4x4 cummins work truck. I am really busy with work and have a list of things I need to get fixed but don't have the time. First things is the U-joints on my front driveline. It's the driveline going from the transfer case to the front diff. It's got a double cardan and one more u-joint making 3 u-joint all together. I have been told I need to go to a driveline mechanic for this but I was thought I'd try criagslist first. I also need my transmission serviced. I was thinking new fluid and filter and possibly a new pan w/ a drain plug, mine is the stock pan and doesn't have a drain. I also need an oil change. Then I have a leak in my exhaust header, so I need it pulled and welded or a whole new one all together. Last is my front speakers don't work and I'd like to get them to work. I know this is a long list. This stuff doesn't necessarily need to be done in this order or all at once. I just need it done. So if there's anyone out there willing to help me please let me know. You can email me or call me anytime. Thanks.

Yea I would repost it. And becareful with craigslist you never know who it is and if he really has experience. You may get some idiot who just needs cash and ends up jacking your truck up.

a suggestion on your front driveline, take it out and down to a machine shop, and have them rebuild it with a larger mounting flange and double cardan that is greaseable. had mine done for about $300 That was after I sheared all of the t case bolts off and it fell out.
