    Swapping column shifter to console shifter

    I'm pretty sure someone did it already, or the other way around.. Posted here somewhere I thought.

    Poor gas mileage and bad brake install

    Yup, and I refuse to pay someone to do brakes with how easy it is to do. Hard to say if the previous owner or a garage had done it but definitely buggered it, whoever it was.

    Poor gas mileage and bad brake install

    Just posting this in case it helps someone down the road. You can believe me, or not. When I picked up my 2011 1500 5.7 in 2015 I was getting around 17L/100km (just according to truck computer). I was pretty happy about that since my previous Ford Edge was getting around 15L/100km. I'm not...

    Whirring, grinding sort of vibration

    So just to follow up on this. I did rotate the tires, I didn't realize how bad the cupping was and that it's mostly (if not all) on the left front. I had assumed that struts were the culprit (new Bilsteins installed lately) but now not so sure. The right front strut was leaking and obviously bad...

    Whirring, grinding sort of vibration

    Thanks for the input, definitely not expecting much from others trying to diagnose. Just hoping others with experience with Ram trucks can provide some insight. It's like with my Jeep, sometimes there's just things that guys at the Jeep forum are like, "Oh that's blah blah blah." Sometimes it's...

    Whirring, grinding sort of vibration

    I bought my 2011 Ram 1500 5.7 used from a dealership back in.. 2015 I think it was. I noticed I could feel a slight grind feel in the pedal at times. Salesman says it's wheel bearings and they'll fix it. My parents had bought three vehicles from him so I made the mistake of trusting that. The...

    Body lifts

    All universal as to what exactly? Universal between all trucks/vehicles? I highly doubt it, that would be odd. Universal between the different generations of Ram trucks? I can't verify that, but I would have my doubts on that too. Order the body lift for your make/model/year of truck, best bet...

    Left side CV Axle repair - Short shaft reinstall???

    Thanks for the response. yeah thats the right side which is a different setup from the left. I actually just got in the garage and it worked out. Feeling for it to lineup then patiently tapped with a deadblow hammer and it slid in. Of course for anyone in the future be gentle, not something...

    Left side CV Axle repair - Short shaft reinstall???

    Well it seems my assumption may be correct. You just have to feel for it being lined up then tap it in.. Thats not going to be stressful at all...

    Left side CV Axle repair - Short shaft reinstall???

    Not to be confused with the right side where it looks like you can easily just put the dang thing back in..

    Left side CV Axle repair - Short shaft reinstall???

    Why is everything online for the right side? I can not for the life of me find anything on the left side. Anyways, my CV axle grenaded so I'm replacing it. When removing the old CV axle that short shaft came out of the differential with the CV axle. I got that off the old one, replaced the...

    Alright guys.. BILSTEINS post your pics!!!

    Just wanted to confirm, this is set at 2.1? Looking through the thread I believe you said that. Of all the before and after pics I've looked through this one tells a great story for 2.1.

    Storing your ram for lengthy periods

    I own a 1990 Triple E Empress with a Ford 460. Its been in the family for about 15yrs. It gets an oil change once every two years. It sits outside for about 8 months during the colder months (Canadain Prairie winter). To store I switch off the batteries and run RV antifreeze through water lines...
