Jamie,<br><br>I'm pretty sure I saw someone post here not too long ago about NAPA selling ball joints that had a lifetime warranty on them. I think they were MOOG units if I remember right. Might be worth a look.<br><br>John

Re:2 Part thread I need a highpower alternator and balljoints
Thanks John unfortunately I don't think we have NAPA in canada or am I mistaken? Im not totally sure anyways I will have a look but most say that there is no aftermarket for the 02 front end because its so new. Anyone know if balljoints from older models fit?

Jamie here's a thought Are the A arms in stock at your dodge dealer and would they charge you restocking if you returned them? If they won't buy one take it to a auto parts store and physically compair balljoints from other years to see if it will work. Easyer to compair when parts are clean and yours is not sitting on a jack stand hoping to find something that fits.

Jamie, back when I was in law enforcement, I had to change to a bigger alternator in my personal truck. I checked with the State Police maintenance shop and they had several catalogs from various vendors. I was able to find one that fit my truck that was WAY bigger than those I could find in local parts stores. By the way, it was going into a Bronco, but you might try that idea. Good luck<br>Ed

Re:2 Part thread I need a highpower alternator and balljoints
Your alternator puts out 135 amps, what the heck do you need more power for? There will be more that just installing a HO alt. The Dodge alternator breaker is only rated for 135 amp (i think) and the wiring then may be too small also. Sounds like you need a Honda generator in the back! 
<br> Don't know about the ball joint thing on the 2wd but the 4X4 parts are a Dodge only item for the late 99 and up last time I bought them. You can try Lordco or UAP Nappa for parts. <br><br><br>Malcolm
