    Looking to replace my muffler (Magnaflow questions inside)

    So, I've been looking to replace my muffler for some time. Youtube clips all sound horrible so those aren't helping. I always had Flowmaster mufflers on all my cars growing up but see a lot of people go the Magnaflow route. I can get a smoking deal on a Magnaflow because I work in the car...

    General LED light bar questions

    I want to add a light bar to my truck. I'm looking at installing it in the lower valance where tow hooks are mounted on some trucks. Questions: 1 - Curved or Straight? The idea of the curved one is pretty good but I want to know what everyone else has done and how it's turned out. 2 -...

    Reduced power light and no check engine light or DTCs?

    It's happened twice now. I start my truck from the passenger side and go to unplug my cab heater and battery tender. By the time I get into the truck it is running rough and the reduced power light is flashing. Neither time has there been a check engine light or any trouble codes to read. I...

    99? Ram random heat

    My buddy has a 99 Ram and the way he is describing it the heat works about 1 day a week. He says when it isn't working, the air is warmer than outside but not warm/hot. He says it is completely random and nothing changes to make it work again. My first thought is something with the blend door...

    Strange noise, wondering if anyone has heard of this?

    I have a new noise that I have heard a few times. Seems to be when backing up. It's good for about 10 feet then it sounds like a low pitched humming that gets louder as I move. After about 15 feet (of making the noise-20 feet total) the noise level peaks and then disappears. I work in the...

    2005 QC rear springs

    This was my question in the towing section: This past weekend I towed my mom's 20(?) ft travel trailer. I didn't take it too far but noticed the rear end sagged pretty far. Her F-150 doesn't sag as much as my truck does and hers is a 99. I will be buying a 23 ft travel trailer next year, so I...

    Adding AUX input to an RBK radio?

    Anyone have info on this? I've been searching but haven't found what I'm looking for. I see ebay has whole units for $100 shipped. My wife isn't into replacing a good radio for $100 though. I'd love to add a port at the back of the cubby under the radio. Any light you guys can shed on...

    4WD Lamp/light

    Weird question, Do you guys have a lamp that comes on when the truck is in 4wd? I see it in the left side of the cluster (under mileage) but it doesn't light up when the cluster does it's check. Now, I assume the manual shift (lever) trucks do not light up but the electronic shifting (via a...

    33s or 35s?

    I've read a little about this. I have an 05 QC 4x4 which is leveled. I like the stuffed look but don't want to lift it. Would 35s work for me? If clarence is any issue, where is the issue area. Could wheel spacers be used? The other part of my question pertains to the fuel mileage. I...
