I paid $250 for a new steering shaft at the auto parts store Couldn't find a deal anywhere online. I learned that the 4wd steering shaft is the same as 2wd , 1996 dodge ram 1500 with 5.9 magnum
After looking around I went with the baisic EQ heads. I'm not going for anything fancy on this build, and from what I've read they're copies of the old Mopar Performance heads. So I couldn't beat the $850 for both, assembled and at the door. Hughes Performance has some tuned up options for cast iron heads as well as some aluminum options. I did take Hughes advice and will be running they're recommended head gaskets(don't have the PN handy). They claim a slight bump in compression with these heads.
@@Chumley360 yeah I’m not going for anything fancy either I just need some decent cheap replacements that are close to OEM. But $850 for both that’s definitely not bad at all considering they are assembled.
I won't dispute their junk status, but I can say that after 30 years of looking at junk header vs stock manifold dyno runs, junk headers are fine. Also I didn't go into these for "power", I wanted the stainless steel to replace cast iron. On that front they are fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I just noticed the sound thing the other day. I usually work on these with my earbuds in and my volume seems fine in the end. I guess my settings are off, still learning this stuff.
Those wiper blades didnt work because they were for a 2wd, not a 4wd haha

That's good info, thanks.
I’m replacing the heads on my 5.9 and I was wondering if there was any you’d recommend?

Stock replacements are fine for what it’s worth.
What tires are those
Cooper STT Pro
eBay headers are junk. Gibson shorty headers or you might as well leave the stock ones on
