    Long term wear with 5100s at 2.8

    Besides the well known upper ball joint issue, anyone have any long term wear experience with 5100s set at 2.8? I'm debating on if it's worth going down to 2.1 to help with CV angles and the front axle shaft spline wear. I've had mine at 2.8 for about 23000 miles so far and I've had no...

    Anyone ever see rust here before?

    My 2013 1500 Crew Cab has some rust forming on the passengers front door side edge about halfway up. I know the door bottoms rust out on these trucks but those look brand new because the trucks been Fluid Filmed since 2015. I didn't get many before pics but I scraped the seam sealer off the...

    Front Wheel Hub Bearing replacement in the Rust Belt

    A few weeks ago I noticed my left front wheel bearing was getting noisy. My truck is a 2013 with 75k on it so it's to be expected. I watched some YouTube videos on how to do it and it looked fairly simple, remove the 3 bolts holding it on and it should come right out. That may be true in some...

    Silicone based interior detailers are bad for body shops???

    The roof of my black truck has several spots where the paint is checking from living outside for 7 years so I got a quote from a very reputable body shop. My appointment was on Wednesday. Drop my truck off early Wednesday morning and they call me 25 mins later to tell me they can't bring my...

    Sliding rear window leak fix

    I would encourage anyone with a power sliding window to check their trucks for this. Went out to my truck the other day and found the passengers side storage bin had about 1in of water in it. So like most of us my first thought was the 3rd brake light. I had resealed it about 3 years ago as...

    Volant Intake

    I really feel this gets overlooked way more than it should for our trucks. After a lot of research, the Volant intake checked all the boxes I was looking for: excellent filtration, free flowing tube to the throttle body, and the ability to add a lower tube that has a scoop to grab air from below...

    Emission monitors not completing

    Hey guys, looking for some insight and direction. My 2013 1500 Hemi won't complete all the emissions monitors. I drove it for over 1000 miles and the fuel system and EGR system monitors will not complete. It isn't setting any codes so I have no idea where to begin. I have Torque and OBDLink (can...

    Better flowing intake for 5.7 w/Ecodiesel lower airbox

    Thought I'd share this with the forum, the Ecodiesel lower airbox takes the same air filter and top lid as the 5.7 trucks but has an inlet that is roughly 50% larger. The part numbers for these are: Inlet: 68190706AB Lower Box: 68232657AC Links to where I got them...

    5.7 Hemi Efan vs Clutch fan towing temps

    Did a search and didn't find much about this, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Mopar V6 efan. I tow my 21ft camper several times in the warmer months and I'm concerned about coolant/trans temps with the efan vs the stock clutch fan/AC fan. Anyone do much towing in the summer or warmer...

    Does MDS actually save fuel?

    I decided to add all 8 Injector PW PIDs to my Trinity so I could see an approximation of fuel flow. injector PW measures how long the injector is opened for or "fires" for. When the truck goes into MDS you can see the 4 cylinders shutting down which I was expecting. What I wasn't expecting was...

    Quieting Hemi Tick

    First thing, if your truck is still under warranty I recommend taking it to the dealer. Hopefully they will take care of it and even if they don't, at the very least it will be documented. If they essentially blow you off like they did to me, continue reading. For some of us the 5.7 Hemi is a...

    Ram 5.7Hemi Coolant Flush DIY

    Since I didn't find a writeup on this and it was requested by a couple members here, I decided to make one. I would recommend doing a flush of the cooling system every 5 years if you're planning on keeping the truck for any length of time. The steps I outline in this writeup involve flushing the...

    What coolant is in my truck??

    My truck is a 2013 1500 Hemi with a build date of 12/12. My owner's manual states that it has the OAT 10year/150000 mile Purple coolant. Everything I've seen says that 2013+ Rams have the OAT coolant from the factory. Yesterday I put a 190* thermostat in and I was going to do a mini flush but...

    How to Fluid Film your truck

    Thought I'd start a thread about how to spray Fluid Film or equivalent on the undercarriage of a Ram for those of us who live in the northern states that see a lot of road salt. Living in New England, we get the salt air year round and road salt in the winter and I have seen several older 4th...

    5.7L Hemi spark plug change

    I saw a bunch of questions about this but didn't see an actual thread on doing this. I refuse to pay my dealer $400 for this and this should be done every 30k on 2013 and older Hemi's. The drivers side was somewhat difficult but not bad. The brake booster is in the way but it's not that bad. I...

    Tonneau Cover Repair???

    Like an idiot I forgot to latch my tonneau cover yesterday and last night we had some crazy wind and rain come through I look out the window this morning to see my cover flipped up on the roof of the truck. Ran out and latched it back up but noticed the shark fin antenna put a nice 3in slit in...

    Stock Lug Nut Upgrade

    After seeing this video, https://youtu.be/unAAHWtaQ0o I realized I have the same type of lugs on my truck. So before I had to deal with getting a rounded lug off without destroying my wheel, I decided to get some Gorilla Nuts. The stock lugs have a thin metal sleeve that covers a relatively soft...

    Weatherstrip between the cab and bed

    On all 1500s, 2500s, and 3500s, there is horizontal weatherstrip or seal between the cab and the bed that is the width of the frame rails that tends to rub the paint off of the cab rather quickly. There's a thread http://www.ramforum.com/f158/weather_strip_between_cab_box_why-88643/ about this...

    2013+ Electric steering fluid?

    This came up in another thread. The dealership wanted to change the power steering fluid in a 2014 1500 which should have the electric steering rack in it. Is there fluid or gear oil that needs to be replaced in the electric steering racks? I couldn't find any drain/fill plugs on it so I'm...

    Check Engine Light P2008

    Last night I was on the way to my buddies house and my check engine light came on. It didn't drive or feel any different. I JUST paid the truck off and the title came on Thursday. It figures this happens 2 days later:bs: Checked it with my code reader and its P2008 "Intake Manifold Runner...

    Any 4th Gen rust yet?

    With winter fast approaching, I searched for a bit and found a couple mentions of rust on 4th gens but nothing major. I know the 3rd gens have a bunch of rust issues and I see rotted 3rd gens in my area all the time but no 4th gens yet. I'm curious if anyone out there has any real rust starting...

    New Noise...

    A month or so ago I started my truck up and ran back inside to grab something I forgot. When I came out I hear this new noise, almost like a knock. Usually I get in my truck, start it, let it idle for a minute or so and then drive away so it may have been doing it longer than a month. I know...
