    How to remove O2 sensors?

    Usually I have the vehicle run for about 5 mins or so to warm up a little, spray a little bit of PB blaster or WD40 on them, tighten slighty, then they seem to loosen pretty easy without stripping the holes.

    What gas are you all running through the 5.7?

    I have run 89 from the start, I just put in 93 because I had 3 dollars off a gallon:banana-mario: but honestly can't tell a difference. There is a gas station about 3 miles from where I live that has 93 non ethanol but it's 4.56 a gallon. I ran non ethanol in my last truck and picked up about...

    Chrysler refuses to give me chrome body molding

    Seems like lack of performance support at times

    Ford will install superchargers on the cars, as long as they are from ford. Mind you thought they will tell you if you go to the next stage, you will no longer have a warranty, 500-600 horses is not to horrible for the first stage in my honest opinion. Yes i due understand that to play you need...

    Seems like lack of performance support at times

    I started looking at companies that offer performance kits, even though that car manufacturer doesn't, through dealerships. I've looked at Hennessey Performance (known very well for their Vipers) because they have people at dealerships that install their kits. Hennessey has a HPE500 kit for the...

    Insurance Costs - Pleasant Surprise

    When I first inquired about my insurance on a new ram and other trucks, the ram was cheaper, I was told it would be about 90 a month, so I was ok with that considering I went from 2004 to a 2014. Only to find out it actually only went up 90 a year, so that leaves me an extra 300 a year that...

    Seems like lack of performance support at times

    I want to start out by saying that I love my Ram truck, and I would not trade it for any other truck on the market. When it comes to stock performance it is hard to beat the Ram, but when it comes to performance support, it seems like it's lacking, look at a Silverado 1500 you have GM...

    Ate my first ECOBOOST!

    The guys at work were always curious about a new Ram 1500 hemi versus a new F150 ecoboost, and when I got mine we thought that we would see since another mechanic has an ecoboost. Both trucks are stock, but he doesn't want to race. I will have to tell them about this race.

    Torque Wrench Options?

    I have a craftsman, a snap on, and a matco for in at my work, craftsman is a decent torque wrench for the price, not a big fan of the plastic locking collar though, the snap on was bought off of craigslist for $75 and I couldn't be happier with it, I like the slide locking collar, the matco one...
