    Rear Pinion Seal

    Yes, you can mark the nut to the pinion and count the treads before you take it off then just return it to that position when you finish the seal replacement.

    3rd Gen brakes sticking while towing only!

    I have a small fleet of 2500 and 3500 loaded with weight. I had a myriad of front brake sticking problems. The last pad change the mechanic put a NAPA ceramic pad on where we always ran OEM semi-metallic or Wagner HD semi-mets. After changeing hoses, calipers and rotors, I handed the mechanic...

    Sticky brakes when coming to a stop

    OEM belts definitely still look good at 100K. And when I do change them, another OEM goes on. Not gold or advantage, original OEM.

    How much oil is too much in the 5.7l hemi

    If I check my oil first thing in the morning after sitting all night, my dipstick shows overfilled. If I run it a bit and bring it up to temp and go get gas, if I wait five minutes and check the oil like the owners manual states, I am at the high end of the dipstick. My daughters 2022 Wrangler...

    Buying mopar lifters on eBay?

    Sometimes when you buy something off of E-bay, the manufacturer of the item you purchase will not warranty the item. Most manufactures only warranty their item when it is sold through their distribution network. You are taking a chance not only on a counterfeit item, but also any warranty...

    Fuel pump test 2012 Ram 1500

    When my crappy OEM Bosch failed in my GMC, I went with a Delphi. It clearly looked "beefier" and came with a few hang tags, one of which pointed out the use of gold plated connectors as an upgrade. With Delphi being an OEM supplier, I had no reservations putting it in. I have run about 60K...

    Sticky brakes when coming to a stop

    I have a small fleet of 2500 and 3500 work trucks fully loaded. I had a local shop put Napa ceramics on the first pad change at 30K. I usually insist on OEM or Wagner severe duty semi-metallic for the weight I haul. I chased sticking brakes for the longest time. Replaced calipers, hoses...

    greasin that hitch

    I'm with you. i don't grease mine but I do hit it with a shot of WD-40 when I remove to coat the bare metal that the hitch may have left behind and certainly hit it with a shot before I put it in for ease. The ball gets a little dab of whatever grease/heavy oil is around and spread with my...

    2017-2018 2500/3500 brake system issues

    How much should the labor have been? It sounds like the dealer was trying to be sympathetic to the situation. You could always pay by credit card and dispute the charges. You may get some/all relief that way.

    Replacing starter

    Look at the replacement in your hand and compare where the holes on that starter are and how many and that should lead you to what you are looking for on the started hanging on the truck.

    Found this Dodge panel truck in Tombstone Arizona

    I second that idea. Seal that patina with clear coat and make sure to put a stick shift in it an you can guarantee nobody would look twice to steal, and if they did, they probably couldn't with the stick.

    Talk me out of a TRX!

    If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is NOTHING at work but just sit and smile until they fired me. Then I would buy my TRX and take it out west and go big p*i*m*p*'n w/Jay-Z and the boys to see the other side.

    2016 Ram 1500 Sport Yellow w/blk. Badging code on mirrors and other spots on truck.

    Maybe part of your VIN put on different parts of the truck for insurance identification in the event of theft?

    Synthetic Oil

    I use that stuff in my diesel. I believe its CK-4. Are you sure you should put it in a gasoline engine?

    Missives cylinder 3 and no eco mode?

    It sounds like the dealer did the diagnostics that a good dealer should have done. They ruled out failing plugs and coils and must have checked the valve assembly. The valve assembly not moving enough on a particular cylinder led them to the conclusion that there was a failure with the lifter...

    Do I really need headers (Emission Concerns as well)

    I often pondered that myself. I have never heard of anyone swapping heads and/or motors ever tapping the heads for a beefier bolt. If for nothing else, only the two rear-most that bolt to the y-pipe flange. You can certainly put an equivalent bolt in there of similar grade that shouldn’t pull...

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    I bought my daughter a 2022 Jeep Wrangler and I believe it came with some complimentary oil changes and tire rotations

    8HP trans temp 240

    First, I would do the green paper fluid check that Wild One posted to see if it is properly filled.
  21. M

    Dealer said No for transmission fluid change.

    You're way overdue according to ZF, the manufacturer of the transmission. Change the fluid, you'll notice a difference.

    Ticking??? (YouTube video?)

    I would change the oil, and only the oil. If it is just the oil, the valve train will stop singing. Its a cheap way of narrowing things down. Remember, the singing is because of metal on metal and you want to prevent this before it becomes a permanent "tic".

    Ticking??? (YouTube video?)

    Its most likely the oil. Drain the oil keeping the old filter on. Fill with six quarts of fresh oil. If the sound goes away for another 4 kms, then you will know that it was the oil. I can't get more than 2000 mikes out of any PUP before the valve train starts singing.

    2018 1500 3.6L V6 - Radiator leak advice?

    They are usually an aluminum center with plastic side tanks. The heat cycles kill the plastic and/or gasket that joins the two parts. Not a hard job to replace, but I have always used OEM. Fits right, every time.

    Synthetic Oil

    I just had a 5 quart jug of Pennzoil conventional 10W40 delivered from Walmart.com for my 2000 Jeep Wrangler
