    Anyone us beam blade wipers?

    My original ones finally bit the dust in the recent ice storm we had so I picked up a pair of Trico Neoforms. They wipe and clear fantastic, but the passenger side blade tip doesn't wrap all the way down the window curve for the last 4 inches or so, when they're off. Never seen it before. Does...

    EGR Delete on 4th Gen

    Take the intake tube and plastic cover off the motor. Look towards the rear passenger side of the upper plenum and you'll see a square box with what looks like a wingnut on top. Thats' the PCV valve and housing. 1/4 turn of the wingnut and pull it straight up. Can be a bear to get out the first...

    LEDs for revere and cargo lights?

    I'm looking into replacing just these bulbs for better dark visibility. Can anyone confirm if canbus bulbs are needed in these locations or can I use standard LEDs?

    My Maggie Breaks Wind?.. WTF?!

    I bet it has something to do with the fuel cut/ torque management.

    New fan clutch now its really loud

    So the truck started overheating on saturday. Brought it to the local dealer, which diagnosed a bad fan clutch. They had it in stock so they fixed it on the spot. Good news is it no longer over heats, in fact it stays right at 200 degrees unless it's climbing a long hill. Bad news is it's loud...

    Can someone help with this noise?

    Update: removed the heat shields over the weekend and filled it up with Sunoco ultra 94. Still making the noise. Narrowing it down as much as I can, it only does it when the truck is completely hot(driving for 30+ minutes) and it's under load (large uphill run). Happens as soon as it downshifts...

    Can someone help with this noise?

    OK a little update. I've been paying more attention to the noise lately and it seems to only happen after the trans has reached 125+. I can sometimes hear it at 120, but never under that. Was at the dealer for 5 hours today. They couldn't find squat with it. Came back with a clean bill of...

    Can someone help with this noise?

    Here's a question for you hemi experts. For a while now my truck makes this rattle noise when under load for example going up a really steep hill under moderate throttle. Sounds kind of like a small pebble being shaken in a soda can lightly. Seems to happen around 2500 rpms and will go away if I...

    Whats with the 2-3 shift?

    I've always wondered what is going on with the 2-3 shift on my 6 speed. If I have my foot in it, it'll shift fine/quickly. But if I'm driving more civilized that upshift seems like it takes forever. It's only on that one shift. Seems like it's in between gears for a second or two before finally...

    Hesitation starting up!

    I couldnt tell you what it is, but mine does it too. Only on the first start of the day. It can sit for 9 hours while Im at work and it starts fine, but sitting over night and it does exactly what yours does.

    Safe to downshift into 1st?

    Driving in the snow early yesterday morning I was going down a really steep hill that was slick as snot. I was already in 4wd and had the trans in 2nd as I started going down. I kept picking up too much speed to control and everytime I hit the brake anything over grazing the pedal I started to...

    Engine whine when reving?

    Not in a habit of reving the motor but did so today cause the guy down the street just purchased a Ram and wanted to hear the exhaust. When revving up past say 1500 rpms, I heard a whine. Almost like a pulley bearing or something, but seemed more internal in the motor. Can't say I've ever...
