Thats damn near unheard of, its a rare occasion for sure lol.... RAM is pretty notorious for coolant leaks. mine has been a bit more of a issue then most for whatever reason though
My 06 1500 has 166,000 on its original pump. Had a radiator go a ways back, but still on the same pump. I am just now developing a drip from the pump itself. This will be the first Hemi water pump failure I've had in 4 of them totalling over 600,000 miles.

they were the 3rd gen replica ones with LEDs stuck in them from ebay, i think i paid like $100


i dont plan on folding them up on this truck so i went with these, but if you plan to fold yours up id get the 4th gen style ones like i have on my 08, they are much more rigid and feel like they are a better build quality

Yes the visibility is much better, the human eye responds best to amber/yellow, and it responds worse get deeper in the blue spectrum, pretty much the best visibility is 3000k and technically it gets worse from there, for headlights i will usually run a 4300k or 5000k, those are obviously the two best "white" colors for the best output, but i always will have yellow fogs as they actually help in bad weather conditions

Right. I, myself was planning on 5000k heads with 3000k fogs. Perhaps a dual projector setup with one 3000k and one 5000k set that change out with a switch inside the cabin. Then I can have the angel eyes and halos as switchback DRLs that turn on with the parking lights [and are all independently RGB] and then I can do an eyelid and understrip like rawram's 5/7 dropped qc. Hmm... now which set should be which color.... Outer set white, inner set 3000k?

{{On a side note, the small car I might be trading my truck for would likely get some 30000k purples because I think they would look sick on it, especially if I painted/plasti-dipped in a nice limey/yellow-green with sick indigo accents/tribals that have black or yellow accents on them.}}

After replacing my plugs I threw 2 codes for bad coils. Replaced 2 coils and reset the computer. So far so good.

I honestly don't know. It wasn't throwing any codes though. She runs a bit rough and I sometimes get a popping noise which seems to be coming from the intake. I'm going to eventually replace all the coils just don't have the extra cash at the moment with Christmas a 10 days away.

I was going to spend money on higher grade plugs but read on here to stick with copper plugs so I did. The coils (at least the o rings) were in rough shape when I pulled them so I wasn't too shocked when it threw the codes.

What're your normal taillights? And why are they a problem for inspections?

I'd assume clear or smoked which are illegal in some states.

Same principle as smoked but blue lol, still bright but not inspection friendly
