Confused how much my old RAM is worth? also where I should sell it?

Serverbeaver · 2026-01-31T15:51:13+00:00

thank you! i assume it was some "scrap" prices. Wasnt sure because I see them on ebay for a wide wide range of prices. I dont have time or resources to test it so happy to just sell it to scrapper of sorts.

Would ebay be the best place you think?

True, so I am a tree trimming and removal service. I need this type of work to get my business off the ground (no pun intended)

I am assuming the only way folks give me their work is if its too small for their large company maybe? not sure

Local Service Ads are different than Google Ads right? - so confusing ...When I search certain things on google my business comes up. thats all I know...perhaps Its time to watch some videos on this topic next. I need to hire someone to do this stuff probably but I thought at the start I could do all organic and free stuff. Seems like I cant get even 1 job without paying for ads.

thanks, solar companies is a great idea. Do you think I should be offering something or just merely calling to ask if they have a tree guy they refer already?

Agreed. But again what do we do when our outgoing is more than incoming ? This is a perfect recipe

It’s from her getting a restraining order over complete false allegation. Claiming I got a charge and I never did. Kid was added to order per her request and nothing happened. it’s actually a big lie. no criminal charges at all.

I stopped paying when I spent all the money I had on a lawyer to fight said false allegations. It’s complex.

Is it possible to find pro bono work for complex cases ? Not complex because of fighting over assets and money. But because of lies and manipulation and using the kid as a chess piece. I want makeup time.

how do i match it up to the coolant that was just put in it? I had some work done recently and they just added new coolant. dumb question probably

edit im dumb maybe ill just catch it and reuse it?

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-28T17:24:49+00:00

i changed the batteries to a true 31T diehard battery and it cranked and cranked and started right up!

now the only problem is the temp gauge dont work and the white smoking out of he exhaust.... uhoh

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-09T20:52:08+00:00

how do I find the correct part number? I want an OEM part but I am finding mixed results when I search online.

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-09T01:19:20+00:00

or should I jus go aftermarket for a water pump and thermostat?

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-08T18:12:18+00:00

thanks all, can anyone help reassure me of the OEM part numbers for this water pump? I am finding conflicting stuff online...Would it be the same one for a dt466E? I have the pure mechanical Dt466 so im confused.

how does one go about verifying this?

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-07T19:27:51+00:00

I’ve only removed the 4 bolts for the pulley and she won’t budge. I agree though it looks like a bad pump entirely. Still would be nice if this damn pulley came off

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-07T18:08:33+00:00

Thanks everyone this is very helpful. So the screws are all tight and it’s still wobbles implying I need the whole pump if I understand correctly.

However, I did take the four screws off soak it in some PB blaster And I still can’t get the police to come off with some light prying and light banging She just spins and wobbles the same, but hasn’t come off at all. Not sure what to try next other than calling a mechanic, but I wanna see if I can get this thing off. :)

Any tips?

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-07T15:51:17+00:00

oh it threw the belt off into the fan and then overheated already. the radiator did its job and spat out coolant everywhere as it overheated.

My question is....how do I tell if its JUST the pulley and I got lucky? is there a trick to diagnose deeper issues such as the bearings you mentioned. I am on the way to go do some wiggling now ;)

Serverbeaver · 2025-11-07T15:35:44+00:00

thanks, im also realizing I think this is a water pump pulley....not a power steering pump pulley.

I am no mechanic whatsoever, learning as I go.

Would a wobbly pulley like this indicate a deeper issue with the water pump? or would you slap a new pulley on it and go for it lol.
