    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    I put Monroe sensa trac coil over shocks on the rear and 5100's set at 2.1" on the front. Let me tell you, my 08 only has 67,000 miles and those lower strut bolts were a pain in the ass to get out. Also I had to cut the strut shaft so that I could get the upper nut off of it. If I didn't own a...

    Torque Wrench Options?

    I calibrate tools for a living. We have a lot of snap-on torque wrenches here and I very rarely have one that will calibrate the first go around without making internal adjustments to it. These wrenches get calibrated every 12 months and almost always fail the first time. I am not a fan of them...

    front end wobble

    I would say no but I have never checked it out on a new truck to be sure. Run by a dealer and see if a new truck has any play in it.

    Truck shuts off while driving...help!

    BTW, I wouldn't believe it either if it was someone else trying to sell me this story. I lived it so now I will believe it myself. I would argue all day and tell you that there is no way squeeking brakes would kill an engine.

    Truck shuts off while driving...help!

    My truck has never been to the shop. I always do all of the work myself. I can tell you for sure, every time that motor died, the brakes were making noise. Replaced the pads and done nothing else. No more noise and the engine never died again. With all of the electronics on cars now days, it...

    Truck shuts off while driving...help!

    My 04 was doing this. When I would come to a stop, it would just die but restart right away. I chased it for a bit with no luck. Then I noticed my brakes were squeeking at the same time the motor would die. I know it sounds crazy but I thought maybe the noise was causing some sort of harmonics...

    Dyna beads

    I use them in my motorcycle tires and love them. Also my nephew works at a tire shop for semi trucks and that is all they use on the truckers tires. Dyna beads are ceramic and should not stick together when moist. Unless you have mud in your tires somehow.

    Engine Wash Suggestions?

    Since I was 16 and I am 45 now, I have been washing my motor and engine bay every time I wash my car. I pull into the car wash, leave the motor running, pop the hood and then wash every single thing under the hood with exception to any exposed air filters. I wash my battery, alternator and...

    What Did You Do To Your RAM Today?

    I took the rear wheel well liners out of my 04 and installed them into my 08 rear wheel wells. It makes it look more complete and protects things better. Perfect fit and bolt right in.
