    Big time cab noise. Sounds like I'm runnin' 40s...but I'm not..

    I'm due for a rotation pretty soon. They look to be wearing evenly and feel smooth. They are bottom-tier Goodyears (LS2). I really hate them...driving in the rain is a terrible experience. I Google'd my symptoms, came across a post from a guy with similar symptoms. Turned out to be...

    Big time cab noise. Sounds like I'm runnin' 40s...but I'm not..

    I'm getting a loud, "humming" noise from my truck. It started a couple of months ago, but I didn't really give it much thought. As I keep driving, the louder it gets. Sounds like I'm running 40" Swampers. It doesn't really change with RPM, but it does change with the speed of the truck. The...

    Transmission has started to...whistle?

    I noticed it last night for the first time. Sounds like a whistle, but I'm fairly sure its a high pitched whine. Noticed being more prevalent in low gear in the lower RPM range. What makes me worry is that I've recently installed a SC 93 octane tune. The shifts are more firm and it shifts...

    Tires, What are you running?

    Kind of convenient to find this topic. Im in the market for a new set. The dealership stuck some Goodyear Eagle LS2's on it when I bought it and I hate them. They are fine in most cases, but they're terrible offroad. TERRIBLE. Then, there's a certain stoplight that I always have to stop at...

    With all these rains, even my truck grew!

    You're a lucky fella. All i'm getting from all the rain is knee-deep grass, a swamp for a driveway, and a truck that looks suspiciously like a pine tree.

    2006 Dodge Ram 1500 shock absorbers

    Alright, so I have an 06 1500 2wd. I've read conflicting details on the front suspension. Some say the shock is able to replaced as a single unit, others say its a strut assembly and the whole damn thing will have to be replaced. My Haynes manual talks like its able to replaced alone...

    Truck went to the shop today, here's what I found out. Suggestions are needed.

    I figure I'll leave the tie-rods out of my order, but I'll be sure to check them out too. If i end up needing to replace them, I'll bite the bullet and buy from a local parts store. I was quoted SensaTrack shocks. I did kind of want to upgrade to a better shock, hell I'm still riding on...

    Truck went to the shop today, here's what I found out. Suggestions are needed.

    Forgot to mention, this is front end only. I thought $377 sounded fair, because I've searched around online and have seen people quoted in excess of $600 for ball joints. The $377 quote doesn't include the alignment, but that's only somewhere around sixty bucks. Both upper and lower ball...

    Nice truck, but uhhhh...how much you want for the GTO?

    Truck went to the shop today, here's what I found out. Suggestions are needed.

    Lately, I've heard some "popping" coming from the front end of my truck. Pretty irregular at first, but is becoming more frequent. I pretty well figured it was the ball joints, but since I needed an oil change anyways, I thought I'd let my mechanic check it out. Based off of a visual...

    Here's a nice read for you 3rd gen fans

    I've got the Haynes manual. I love the thing. Come to think of it, I've never owned a vehicle without having a Haynes/Chilton manual for it. They've proven to be extremely helpful. My only issue is they sometimes tend to be a little vague, but that's not really a big deal. I do wish...

    DIY Ram Emblem Painting 3rd gen

    Care to share how you separated the emblem from the setting? AND the badge itself from the grille? I've wanted to paint mine, but I didn't even know you could separate 'em. As for the paint problem, is it the clear itself that's cracked? If it is, I'd probably give a different brand a shot...

    Enjoy that intake. I'm in love with mine. I like to marvel at the build quality of it.

    Did a very stupid thing

    A few years back, my buddy dropped a set a pliers across the +/- posts on my old Nissan pickup. Pliers were too heavy to be blown off. Put on one hell of a firework show. Pliers were welded to the posts. Other than the pliers and battery, not much damage was done. Had to replace a few fuses...
