    Rattling sound driving me crazy! help

    I recently moved to a more "country" setting with bumpy dirt roads and what not. Now that i'm traveling these roads more often, things are coming loose more frequently. Lately my truck, 07 1500 crew cab 5.7 4x4, has developed this rattling that I cannot find for the life of me. the slightest...

    hub/bearing replacement help!

    Hey yall, I ordered a pair of Timken Hub assemblies for the front of my 07 Ram 1500. Everything came off no problem.. except the half shafts. I seen videos online where they use a lever and just pop them out of the differential, but mine will not come out. Is there a trick, a clip, or some...

    Snap-on 18v 1/2" cordless impact wrench

    Yeah these impacts are nuts! I put my lugs on with my air impact as tight as possible and this same gun zipped them right off with little effort. Very impressive tool! I already have one or I'd be all over this! GLWS

    FS: Used & Unlocked DiabloSport Predator U7137

    interested... Will this for sure work on my 07 5.7 Hemi if I just plug it in and start tuning? or does anything else need to be done? Just a little leary about unlocked tuners not working like they should.

    2" drop shackles show no drop?!?

    Well I sort of jumped the gun. Once I drove it around for about 20 minutes, I came back home, re-measured and seen about a 1" drop. Still not the 2" they claim...

    2" drop shackles show no drop?!?

    I just received my McGaugheys 2" drop shackles for my 07 ram. My height before installing them from the outside fender edge to the ground was 39.5".. after installing the drivers side shackle, I checked again and saw the same measurement. SO someone on a forum said you have to actually flip them...

    Hubs going bad?

    Hey guys.. and gals. Lately when I'm turning and any speed, I feel/hear a noise from what I would imagine is coming from the wheel hubs. It's fine while straight, but the harder I turn the worse it is, it's like a subtle rotating bumping rhythm. Say wumwumwumwumwumwumwum as fast as you can...

    led dash swap

    Be thankful you don't have an 07 like me.. not a screw in sight! For the 04, You start with the two that screw into the dash above the cluster, then work your way from there. It's not the simplest process, but far from the hardest. Like I said before, it'll be 2+ hours to do it all. Like...

    led dash swap

    Yeah, those actually are the totals for the 04, I did one a few months ago, they also wanted the trip/odometer done and some other things too. Fun job (yeah right). But yes, 11 for just the cluster, and 3 for the climate control. I'm pretty sure they're the same through 08. I'll be finding out...
