I have a 545rfe transmission in my truck that has been working fine all spring since I brought the truck out of storage and have even put over 600kms on the truck in the last week without any signs of trouble.
Now on my way to work this morning it seemed slow to go into gear leaving my house...
Well I've been wanting to try this for awhile and I finally got my hands on a spare intake the other night. My goal here is to remove and smooth out all the extra and useless plastic on the stock manifold since they look like crap and are a ***** to keep clean with all these holes and pockets in...
Well figured since my headlight project is well underway now and I think I finally have all my parts/paint I'd start a build thread for them.
Headlights split
Projector test fit
Lights totally disassembled
Test fitting the LED halos
And of course had to give the halos a test run.
Had another great year at the Mopar Nationals in Ohio on the weekend. The truck ran great without a single problem the whole way there or back!! Can't wait to do it all again next year. But now for some pics!!!!
The whole Canadian group
3 generations of mopar owners
Well since I've started stripping the truck down I figured I might as well make a thread to keep track of the body job progress.
I pulled the truck into the shop tonight after giving it a boost and cleaning most of the snow off of it. This is how it started the night.
So far I got all my...
Well earlier tonight I tried to pull the badge off my grill so I could reuse it on my new grill. But apparently the epoxy I used the last time I did this was a little to good and decided it wanted to hang onto the chrome from the ram head part of my emblem.
So this got me thinking since the...
Well im seriously considering making the 2.5-3 hour trek to the drag strip tomorrow night and am looking for any pointers or tips from guys that have run at the track before.
I know my truck is a 2nd gen but since its got a hemi know i figured maybe you huys might have some advice. Ive only...
Well im seriously considering making the 3 hour trek to the drag strip tomorrow night and am looking for any pointers or tips from guys that have run at the track before.
Ive only ever made 2 passes down the 1/4 mile and they were 2 years apart. So if I do decide to make the trip down I'd like...
Well as some of you might have read I had a bit of an accident last night. Was totally my own fault.
Anyways here's the story. I backed my truck out of our shop after fixing my exhaust leak I was looking behind me and listening to see if I could hear anymore leaks pop back up. All was sounding...
Came home from work tonight to find a nice pile of goodies waiting in the garage :D
4.10's and Detroit Tru-trac
Rear 4" drop kit and new shocks
Already bought the 2" drop spindles for the front last fall from another member. Don't have any pics of these at the moment though.
Now all I...
Been trying to find some pics of 2wd 2nd gens with the factory 17" off road rims. So far I've only been able to find one pic and I really like the way they look and have been considering getting rid of my 20's in favor of these 17's
Would give me less rotating mass and tires would be cheaper...
I'm looking for a bit of help trying to find a new rear end for my 06 ram 1500. I've been phoning around to wrecking yards and had no luck finding one so far but they keep asking me what style of brake mounting flange my truck has.
I think the choices they gave me were
- square
- round with...
Spent the past couple nights swapping done more LEDs into my truck.
I started with replacing the factory green LEDs in my window/lock buttons
They turned out brighter than I thought they would and I think I'm going to try and dim them down a bit later but I love the new blue look.
Well after fighting with my cv shafts and having to torch one of my shocks apart to get it out I decided I now was the time to order my Bilstein 5100's.
Thanks to Andrew at bully's performance for hooking me up with the new shocks. I was going to max them out but ended up going to the next...
Damn it!! Been fighting with these damn things for 2 nights now!! Drivers side finally came off tonight but the passengers side still won't give.
I've tried everything I can think of but still nothing and its really starting to piss me off!!
All I started out to do was replace the CV shafts...
I bought these LED strips last year with the plans on putting them under the box rails. It was getting annoying having to use a flashlight anytime I wanted to find something in the bed at night.
So today I finally had the time to actually get them installed and wired up.
I think they...
The 545rfe in my 98 Hemi swapped 98 ram is acting real funny. It's like it's stuck in 3rd gear no matter what speed I'm doing. I'm also getting codes for different shift solenoids not working.
I have a spare 545 that I swapped the valve body and shift solenoids from and I'm still having the...
What is everyone running for electric fan controllers? I'm in need of one for my dual 14" fans. The derale #16789 controller I bought has turned out to be junk and does not work at all! So looking for suggestions on a new one.
Well I'm still new here and already made a thread detailing most of my build in the 2nd gen section before I found this section!! lol But I just thought I'd share it over here to.
Here's the link to my build (link was easier than recopying it all over here lol)...
Hey looking to see how many other Canadian members are on here?
And where's everyone from?
Maybe post up some picks of your vehicles as well?
I'm from the kawartha lakes just north of Toronto ontario.
Here's a couple pics of my rams
My 98 that's my summer toy
And my 06 daily driver
I'm new on here but just wanted to share the build of my 98 ram 1500 that I started back in February. I spent almost a year doing as much research as I could on this kind of swap as well as gathering up a list of parts for the build.
Here's my truck as it sat before the swap started
