    Daily driver air intake

    I went with the s&b intake on my 2014 ram, the truck is my daily driver. I like the quality of the product but also I like how it has a factory look to it.

    5w30 vs 5w20

    I've been reading a few posts lately that some run 5w30 synthetic instead of 5w20. I've been running 5w20 PUP in my 5.7 hemi. I don't have the tick in my hemi, but would it be worth it to run 5w30 PUP, Amsoil SS , or a comparable oil instead? I have 55k miles on my truck.

    Mufflex DOD18M - Thoughts?

    That exhaust looks pretty rough for a year old. I live in Northern indiana, our winters are snowy where I'm at and municipalities salt the roads very heavy. My truck is 4 years old and my exhaust does not look like that at all. I have the mufflex dod18m and I love the sound. I have had it for...

    Is a MagnaFlow/Flowmaster muffler worth it?

    I changed get out the muffler on my 14 ram 1500 not long after I bought it new. I did some research, watched videos online and for my taste I went with the mufflex magnaflow 18 inch bolt on. It has a nice rumble at idle, quiet going down the highway, and loud when you mash the skinny peddle...

    Thinking Keep my 5.7 Hemi or trade for EcoDiesel

    I would keep the Hemi. I owned a 2nd gen 2002 Cummins 2500 for 10 yrs. I bought it in 04 with 37k miles and sold it in 14 with 265k miles. It was a very good truck but it was a 5.9L so there wasnt any emissions or pollution control systems on the truck. I've not been a fan of the newer diesel...

    Door Hinge Squeak

    I tried white lithium and dry moly, they only work for a few days. I tried fluid film and it works very well. I use it on my door hinges every oil change or twice a year. It does a great job.

    cab noise

    It's been snowy and temps have ranged from -12*f to 18*f this week. I have been getting a slight knocking noise in the rear of the cab in my Regular cab ram. I thought it was my ice scraper bouncing around in the cargo tray, wasn't it. I looked for ice built up between the cab and bed, it was...

    synthetic oil question

    I have been running Amsoil SS 5w20 in my 14 ram 1500 since the first oil change @ 5000 miles, truck has 48k on it now. I've had no issues with using the Amsoil SS 5w20. Now I've read in a few posts about some that run red line 5w30. I know red line is a great oil but I thought the hemi had to...

    Opinions please : Which gen has the best looking Ram.

    My favorite for looks was the 2nd gen. This is my old 2002 CTD. I sold it and bought a 14 express 1500 4x4 with a hemi. Next would be 4th gen, my 2014 1500.

    Best detail spray to use in cold weather

    I use either adams detail spray or the adams waterless wash on my truck after I wash it. The waterless wash seems to be a little better as the weather gets colder than the detail spray. It takes less effort when buffing with a towel.

    For those that do not like the Dial Shifter

    I prefer the column shift that my 2014 has. Last winter I took my truck in for some warranty and recall work so the dealer had my truck for several days plus the weekend. The gave me a 2017 1500 4 door hemi with the 8 speed as my loaner. At first I hated the rotary shifter but after a couple...

    Duster for detailing

    Detail spray or adams waterless wash would be my first choice. My truck gets driven everyday to a coal fired power plant that neighbors a large steel mill, if the dust on the truck is very thick I won't even think about using detail spray or waterless wash. I get the hose and buckets out and...
