    Oil Filter Housing Woes

    I got it - I fixed the cap, added about half a quart or so of oil to the dipstick full on the checkered weird safe line - started her up - have had her running in 15 minute increments several times and no oil leaks this time. I think it's good. Burping coolant though - that was lame as...

    Oil Filter Housing Woes

    Hi Everyone - so I had the dreaded housing leak on my wife's 2014 Ram. We couldn't wait for a service department for our insurance, so I tackled the job (it requires a lot of flexibility reaching back in there for those bracket bolts and all the bolts against the firewall, I am too fat and not...

    Oil Filter Housing Inquiry

    Does anybody have the Oring kit part number from Mopar? I read something about a TSB calling for a new "RED" Oring kit on 2014 and newer vehicles that was separate? Or are you just using the Orings and seals that come with the Dorman housing? Sorry - I plan to do it once and that's it :).

    Oil Filter Housing Inquiry

    Thanks to both of you, much appreciated! Why can't they just build cars like they used to lol. Guess I was just looking for confirmation that was more than likely my culprit and the aluminum housing was the way to go. We were debating on using this extended service warranty we bought with it -...

    Oil Filter Housing Inquiry

    Howdy Ya'll - I know I searched this lol, but I like to top off researched knowledge with fresh knowledge if possible. Wife's 2014 Ram 1500 V6 - when we bought it and moved, we didn't have any issues. Fast Forward a couple of months I crawl under it for the first oil change and notice the rear...

    Good brand of wheel bearing.

    My wife's Ram is a rusted pile and I know what it's like to deal with rusted on components now...we bought her 2014 9 months or so ago when we moved from Colorado to Kentucky - Colorado got way too expensive and crowded and we didn't like how far one way politically it was leaning lol. Day...

    Good brand of wheel bearing.

    Well - going a month or so noise free and then it coming back is a good indicator :) I'm a backyard learn as I go kind of guy. In my case - I'll use CV Axles as the example of when to go OEM on some - had a lifted 2008 Jeep Commander, went aftermarket CV Axle. Realized after swapping 12 CV Axles...

    Good brand of wheel bearing.

    I'm a fan of proper parts - but at some point you are just paying for name which is why so many try to replicate it. Certain things need to be done by "OEM" - but some things do not. A Heater Core I would not skimp on, but something like a wheel hub I have never used OEM on - it was always...

    2014 Ram 1500 ABS Tone Ring & Parking Brake Issues

    Howdy All...new to the RAM Forums - am familiar with Jeep Commander and Ford Expedition forums however. Came in for the masterminds - need some advice, and the old man ain't around any longer to provide his oh-so masterful insight that I miss so dearly. So we got my wife a 2014 Ram 1500 about...
