djmac62 is also an excellent answer

Hello, well you can look at it in a few different ways. Like you stated you can get a rear end from a salvage yard and not know what you are getting, you can spend some big bucks to get a new rear end, or you can get it rebuilt. I feel getting it rebuilt will be the better option. If you get it rebuilt you will have new parts in the rear end and know what you have verses the cost of a new rear end. This of course depends on how much damage there is in the rearend. Economically I feel that having it rebuilt is the best option. I always get nervouse when putting in any used part because you don't know what you are getting. If you do get it rebuilt make sure they put in new bearings which any reputible shop should anyways.

For ALL 2004 Dodge RAM (1500, 2500, and 3500) (2WD and 4WD) 5.7L V8 Hemi:

.........Firing Order:
Coil...1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Plug..6-5-7-2-1-8-4-3

This should have been located at the top of the your Intake Manifold.

Let me know if this helped...

An EGR valve assembly located at the front of the intake manifold. The EGR valve is a poppet style valve (on/off only) and is controlled by an internal diaphragm.

Hope helps (remember to rate this and comment ).

The location of the flasher relay on a 1998 Dodge Truck is in the fuse panel which is located on the left side of the dash. It is accessable when the door is open. All you need to do is pull off the panel cover to expose the fuses, and the diagram on the fuse cover will show you which one is the falsh relay. The one on my truck is blue, and is about one inch square.

Hope that helps.

Starter Relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) next to the Battery, under the hood. It should be labeled. On the PDC as to which relay is for what circuit. It should be one of the 5 larger relays laied out in a backwards L closest to the battery side. 1 down from the top of the backwards L. is the best description I can give you

The 2012 5.7 Hemi firing order is:
• Coil...1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
• Plug..6-5-7-2-1-8-4-3
