Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / October 20052005 2500 4x4 Quad-cab jack
Can anyone tell me what the purpose of this tiny, insignificant jack is supposed to be?? I finally took it out from underneath the passenger-side seat and couldn't believe what I saw! I almost laughed my head off at Dodge for even thinking of placing such a useless piece of hardware in such a truck. M2CW, Hawkeye65 Just a wild guess here, To change tires when flat if so inclined??? :-) > Can anyone tell me what the purpose of this tiny, insignificant jack is > supposed to be??

It won't even reach a jacking point, let alone jack the truck up high enough to change a tire.

On my 2000 stock 4x4 ram it would not go up anywheres near high enough without a block under it. Gimme the old bumper jack of the old days!! I have a small floor jack and use it instead. It sounds to me more like you didn't use it right.

Hawkeye65 Like I said, you simply don't know how to use it. It can and does reach what it needs to and if not, you are either not using it correctly or it is defective. Either way, I would either take a look in the users guide or take it back to the dealer and let them either show you how to use it or give you a complete unit.

The manual shows where to put the jack. On a stock 2000 1500 QC the OEM jack will not lift the back high enough to get the wheel off....period. You'll argue anything woncha? My jack can lift ANY corner of the vehicle high enough to change a tire and I do have oversized tires on mine. Why would they put a useless jack in the vehicle? In your case, it sounds more like a defective operator than a defective jack and if you know for a fact that it doesn't work, why didn't you go back to the dealer to enquire about it? Funny how Mike also questioned this and yet, I don't see you whining to him, why not???

Sorry Miles, but I have probably forgotten more about these vehicles than you will ever know and that becomes more and more obvious every time you talk about them. I don't claim to know everything or even more than most but you are never able to answer anything I ask you about them. Why is that Miles? Why can't you even answer any of these simple questions. Looks to me like something didn't work right the first time you attempted to use it and with you, that's about as far as it went. Tell me, did you storm off to the store and buy one of those $100 mini floor jacks and tossed the factory unit in the trash? I bet that's what you did, LOL.

ROFL!! This why people are constantly showing you wrong on just about everything you say in here? Somehow I don't think it's cuz you forgot it all. > Tell me, did you storm off to > the store and buy one of those $100 mini floor jacks and tossed the factory > unit in the trash? I bet that's what you did, LOL. Tell me, do you just bitch and whine about anything and everything for no reason? $100 for a mini floor jack? Geez, cost of living must be really bad where you live. > > Sorry Miles, but I have probably forgotten more about these vehicles than > > you will ever know and that becomes more and more obvious every time you [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > everything you say in here?

Sure, I have been wrong at times but so have others and the real difference is that they don't lie in wait for an error with each other like they do with me as made obvious in the Hemi-Spark Plug thread where Max was Dead wrong on most of it yet when Mike does jump in, it is to correct f.cking spelling errors from me, LOL. > > Tell me, did you storm off to > > the store and buy one of those $100 mini floor jacks and tossed the factory [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > no reason? $100 for a mini floor jack? Geez, cost of living must be > really bad where you live. IOW, I was right and yes, if I am going to buy a floor jack (even a mini one), I am going to get one that i can trust my life with, not that $40 junk that isn't much if any better than the original and BTW, if your truck has some magical lift requirements that exceed the capability of the spare tire jack, I really doubt that one of those $40 specials could lift it any higher.

No, you just don't understand, pretty much as usual. > > I am going to get one that i can trust my life with, not that $40 junk > > that isn't much if any better than the original > > Hmm...so the original jack is junk! lol Pretty much. It does the job it was intended for such as changing tires but I wouldn't use it for service work, would you? Oh, that's right, you don't know how to use it at all.

You'll argue anything woncha? Oh, and by the way pinhead, I did suggest that he look in the manual to make sure that he was using it correctly and if he was, that he enquire with the dealer to find out what is wrong.

Oh for Christs sakes........ get some new material. I think everyone has seen enough of that stupid blabbering from you for the last 6 years.

I can do a quick tutorial if it still has you puzzled................... Face it shade tree, Jerry's got you nailed. Hell, even your headers are just duplicates of the limited number of lame attacks that you try and use on me. The funny thing is that you are the one that is jumping, just like now.

Hawkeye, Check the part number with the dealer. Maybe you have the wrong jack. John > It sounds to me more like you didn't use it right. So tell us oh bonehead, what way did I not do it right? Good grief. Another boner response. Mine worked fine, both front and rear. Try reading the instructions. It's made to change tires, not replace an exhaust system.
