      Just a quick question. On my 2014 Ram, do I overlap the top lip to have rockers hang, and spot weld on top of that lip? Or cut the slip on rocker just below the top lip, and do a butt weld (I assume harder because rocker isn’t hanging on top lip)?

    When I started to do body work I used the slip on s and once and a while I still do but using the full rocker seems like alot less f ---king around and less welding and I use por 15 on the insides and oil, no come backs that way.

      I agree, they definitely have their place, but not the best repair…..

    High mileage ? I did the water pump on a ram 3500 with a Cummins last year with 1500000 kms on it and still running fine.

      These motors are known to last, but 400 k is still a high mileage truck

    You mention gluing them on, could I use liquid nails? What do you suggest?
