Orion has a great entry level selection of subs, I've used one of there entry subs as well has multiple HCCA'S and have been extremely impressed with both. But that's just one of many options out there you can look at

Yep, Orion had some high powered amps/subs back in the day. Just steer clear of their Cobalt series.

So I've had a power steering leak for awhile and just haven't gotten to it as it's minor. After some scrubbing and driving for a day, I might have lucked out. I was afraid of have to replace the whole rack, but it looks like it's just the high pressure line from the pump.766851b678817b2ce63307fe7a571271.jpg

Can you check and see if there are any steering rack limiters while you are down there?

Everyone talking about how Demon-HeMi’s truck need to be leveled reminds be of when I first got my truck about 8 months ago. Wow have things changed so much on this thing! 12579bbd2b71fe1392d4114240b4d89e.jpg8c38da4a6d40bee6a3dcd59f6551fadf.jpg

Pretty sure there's a before/after thread somewhere. Why'd you change the wheels? Out of all the pre 4g OEM 17's, those are my favs.

I bought the new rims and tires combo from a guy on craigslist who got 20’s for his truck. I was too lazy to switch the rims over lol. I do like the look of the old ones better lol

Man, that pinstripe is legit! I don't think I've seen a Ram with those. Subtle but very cool.

Yeah I have yet to see one with it as well except for mine. I need to replace them though as some of it has worn off

I must be honest, I will probably copy that some day. My truck is white and a simple pinstripe breaks up all the sheet metal so well. I don't know why I never thought to add one. My hat's off to you.

I say, if you want a stripe, stripe it right.

Been looking at Dajibans. They seem so damn cool....

Replaced the head gaskets on the correct sides this time. Will get everything hooked back up this afternoon. I might not have enough coolant left and there's a blizzard here today so will probably have to wait until tomorrow to start it up.

Did you have a leak is that how you knew internally or you can see it on the outside

Same, lol.

Hey, guys, I'm about to install my tailgate assist, but I also want to fix my tailgate latching problem. It's taking a hard slam to get it to actually stick, and if I don't do it right, even a little tug will make it drop. As long as I seat it properly there's no problem. Is there any actual damage at work here, or does the system just need lubing? If it's the latter, what should I hit it with, and where?

Mine was doing the same. A little WD40 did the trick.
