    Took a look inside my hemi

    Kinda like Schrodinger's cat. Any project on an old(er) mechanical thing is going to reveal stuff you don't want to see, so just don't look. Couple months ago I was tasked with finding the source of a mild squeak/groan in one of our lathes at work. Suspected the ballscrew and/or it's thrust...

    Long idle time

    1200 would be perfectly fine to ensure lubrication. Even 900-1000.

    Tranny Fluid Capacity

    Dropping the pan and changing the filters, you're probably looking at 6qts as I recall. Your ATF+4 fluid is cheap and easy to find, grab 8 and keep the extra on the shelf or return it if needed. FYI - If your local walmart has SuperTech ATF+4, just get that. If it is listed specifically as...

    Not a typical tire question. Load rating/side wall ply questions towing

    Either one is going to be rated well above the axle ratings for your half ton. I don't see a need to go E rated.

    Airbox metal mesh above filter - can I clean it?

    I'm sure you can clean it if you'd like with anything you want. I removed mine.

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Nobody wants to read or research, just jump on the wagon of who's yelling loudest. 'Technology bad, me want dinosaur'

    Think I might crash

    Yikes. Find a buddy, your dad, your buddies dad etc, someone who knows vehicles and have them learn ya a thing or two on what to look out for. If your tires are wearing that badly, it needs aligned. An alignment shop that's worth the name will tell you if anything is worn or wrong before...

    Rear right wheel bent

    Well first figure out if it's a bent housing or bent axle shaft. Put the truck on stands and let the wheels spin. Does the wheel wobble? Yes? Axle shaft bent. No? Housing bent. I'm guessing housing bent from what I read here.

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    Classic method for the HD Rams is using an appropriate socket and extension on the wheel bearing bolts while turning the wheel to push the bearings out. It also is great for other service where you don't need to replace the bearing because it doesn't load anything but the mounting flange. Even...

    DRL’s

    Is there not an option in Alfa to pick what is the DRL? Should be option for park lights, turn signal, low beam, high beam. You pick which light is the DRL. Ideally, no DRL. Dumbest automotive 'safety' feature there was until blind spot monitoring.

    Over filled oil

    Well, barring some oddball thing like a severely damaged oil pan which would likely be causing other problems, the capacity of the oil system can't change. Drain. Fill with specified amount and make note on your dipstick if it's reading way off. Chances are it's the wrong stick or even the...

    What is going on with my 2012 washer fluid pressure??

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    I'd bet you can't find a single station that isn't using blender pumps. The tank information is always listed somewhere, contents and capacity. There's never an 89 tank. Blend away on your own if you so please.

    2019 ram 1500 Bighorn classic factory bumper replacement question?

    One piece will be the Sport style that is all plastic and paint matched to the truck. Two piece will be the steel lower portion that's usually chrome but sometimes paint matched on high trim models with a smaller plastic upper portion that is usually painted but sometimes just black.

    What's the year interchange on 2023 Classic wheels?

    5x5.5 pattern. Any 1500 ram prior to 2019 or a 19-24 Classic such as yours will fit.

    How to disengage auto park on a dial shifter when door is opened

    Either make it think the seat belt is buckled or if you can train yourself as such, keep the brake lights on. With the brakes on it won't auto-park.

    Salt sucks

    I skipped a lot of this thread, but the area you show at the rear control arm mounts is extremely high wash and very exposed. Nothing is going to stay on there better than paint. Sand clean and paint this area often if it bothers you. However, exposed areas like that are not what's going to...

    Inop speakers. Diag help?

    So... Some of the prior troubleshooting was done at the body shop (recent work including that door) while I was away. Today I got to fool around more and, well, I'm a bit embarrassed. The aftermarket speaker in the front door is dead reading somewhere in the Mohm range. Put the stock speaker...

    Inop speakers. Diag help?

    Found the fuse and it did reset the radio, no change on the speakers. I may do some wire ohming this weekend but I also have a set of colored adapters coming to see what alfaobd can do.

    2009-18 vs 2019-23

    Any 19+ CLASSIC is going to be the same as a 2018. A 19+ Warlock will be the same as well, but the front clip will be Rebel stuff.

    Inop speakers. Diag help?

    I'll give that a look tomorrow, been away this week. Thanks! Picked the truck back up and had a short drive home during which I noticed the right rear speaker cut in and out a few times as well.

    Inop speakers. Diag help?

    Speakers at front right are inop. Dash and door. I've tried numerous online resets. Tried battery disco. Tried different speakers. Checked wiring from the speaker back into the pillar and at the radio. I have alfaobd but can't connect to the radio, seems I need a different adapter? If I were...
