As Chewie mentions, I stripped all my old iron to bare chassis. And started re-assembly with new parts where I considered old consumable or wareoutable.( Is that a good word) ha ha. Build it like new, trust your work and all is well. Sure even a new part can fail. You can buy a new Ram and twist a crank off as you drive it home......but unlikely. In my opinion if you want a trouble free truck, its the only approach.
Going by the thought of driving it and repairing as it breaks....on this old iron, you will get gray hair and still end up spending more than if you did it right.........Just Saying/
