    Brake fluid flush cost

    You can buy a Motive pressure bleeder off Amazon for about $75. Suck out the old fluid from the reservoir with a turkey baster, refill with fluid and then pressure bleed. I swapped to Hellcat brakes on my ‘06 Charger and had the brakes bleed done in 20 minutes.

    Salt sucks

    After jumping on the POR15 hype with my first K5 Blazer, I tell everyone to don’t waste your $$$. It flakes off no matter how you prep it. I live around Chicago. Every spring the truck goes on jackstands. I pressure wash the hell out of it, I then hit the rust with a convertor, & then...

    *Mechanic refusing trans build info*

    The only way you are raising the pressure is with a modified VB. You can do tuning to up the pressure, but unless you modify the VB for it you’re not getting it. The transgo modifies the VB.

    It all depends what’s inside for that $9500. If it’s a stock build, then yea, if he is throwing all the billet goodies at it, then it’s on point.

    What grease/lube for power running boards?

    I had installed Bestop boards on my ‘14 when I first got it. I mentioned the linkages sticking to Bestop, they recommended silicone spray. I live in Chicagoland and was replacing the linkages once a year.

    What secrets for a VB could he possibly have that anyone else hasn’t done already. SSV valve, upgraded pistons & retainer, & bonded separator plate.

    DEF additive

    My understanding urea is essentially pee, I’m curious as to how he is making it.

    2014 with quad headlights.. I need a replacement plug

    Turns out the adapter harness I was using for the factory projectors wasn’t water rite. The male connectors corroded away away, & I’m sure there is corrosion on the female side was well now (I have the quad housings back in) as the lights are flickering on & off. Does anyone know if a...

    Quad to Projector help

    I had done the swap years ago. It appears on of my conversion modules has gone bad. I don’t remember who I bought them from, but there are 2 purple electric modules made of aluminum. I bought the Retroshop ones last week, but they’re flickering the HIDs which didn’t happen previously. I...

    Time to replace my 2018 PW battery? Suggestions

    The batteries in my ‘14 CTD needed replacing in ‘18, used Advanced Auto (25% if bought online pickup in store) was right around $400 at the time. First cold snap right before thanksgiving in Chicago I had to jump start it. Walmart couldn’t be beat.

    Drag link recall "How Ram Handles it"

    I had the original BS fix of welding the drag link. Shops wouldn’t touch it for an alignment. Ramcares helped me out with my local dealer to get the updated drag link. Replacing the drag link doesn’t effect the alignment, the steering wheel would just have to be recentered after install.

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    I bought a Motive pressure bleeder when I swapped to Hellcat brakes on my ‘06 Charger, best money I’ve spent. Bled all 4 calipers in less than 15 minutes. Bled the ‘14 Ram afterwards, then bought the adapter to do my Camaro & K5 Blazer.
