    Just got this in from Rare Parts. Over 4 years ago I tried to replace both tie rod ends, but only the ES140R was available. I tried to use the ES288L, but the stud was too short to cotter the crown nut. Fortunately, the old tie rod end seemed sound enough.

    A week ago, I got to wondering about this again and dove into old emails and old Dodgetalk forum threads. Elgin Industries listed them, but didn't have them. They called me back and said Rare Parts had a few.

    I'll dive into the truck in the next few days and see how this one works out.
