WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 RAM 2500 HD and 2012 RAM Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Be sure that the tapped holes maintain the original center line.
Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essentially, this repair consists of:
