    front bump stops

    Struggling to find replacement bump stops for my 2006 2500. I'm just trying to replace the ones that are on the lower control arms that fit into those cups. Mine are long gone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Sometimes they're called jounces I think.

    Catless Question

    Hey guys. 2006 2500 5.7. I'm planning on going catless. Does anyone know if we can still use the anti foulers on the down stream O2 sensors to not throw a CEL? If so can I drop them in where they are? Or do I need to move them back some with O2 wire extensions? I'm not going to tune the...

    Dash Cluster Malfunction

    Hey everybody. I picked up a 2006 Ram 2500 hemi. It's a pretty cool old truck, 3.73 limited slip, heavy duty, etc. It's got some problems I am trying to work out. I have to double click the key unlock in order to start it without the alarm going off. Which is peculiar. I have confirmed it...

    Tire Pressure Sensor Question

    Hey everybody. I picked up some 2018 Sport wheel take offs. wheels and tires with 50 miles on them. I've put them on my 2012 1500. At the tire place, they're saying that they can't read or see the tire pressure sensors on the new wheels? Is there a compatibility issue there with 2018...

    TPMS questions

    Hey guys. I had a couple of tire pressure sensor questions. 1. If I change to an aftermarket rim, my factory TPMS should swap over to the new rims without issue? 2. If I change rims and do not swap TPMS - will it set a code or warning light? 3. Any suggestions on a good street tire...

    4.56 Ring & Pinion for Ram 9.25ZF rear end. Including Timkin Bearings that came with it, you can use em or pitch em. Gear is a US Gear. You will need to get your own install kit, shims, etc. I ran the gear for about 600 miles. A little steeper than I wanted for stock height wheels. A great...

    subwoofer

    I haven't done much with mobile audio in a while. Short question - is there a simple amp / sub combo that I can add to my factory head unit without tearing everything up and out? I have the 12 quad cab and there appears to be a bunch of empty room under the back seat. The sat system isn't bad...

    spring coil bind

    I've spent the last hour or so trying to research spring coil bind specifically related to valve springs. I've got a general understanding of it - but - Can anyone walk me through exactly what it means and moreover - how to take a valve spring and calculate it? And last but not least - does...

    transmission 4th gear downshift

    I've seen occasional posts in various threads about cats that have had their transmissions let go trying to dyno their trucks in 4th. Or, using the button on the stalk to drop it down to 4th and nail it on an onramp or something- only to create transmission issues or failure. What's the...

    MPG note

    Lugging around here in Orlando in this god forsaken heat and in town traffic I've been getting a consistent 15mpg. If I switch it down to 5th and run it as a 5 speed all day with no change- in 2 days it will show 16mpg. I've done it 2or 3 times in the last couple weeks. Just thought that was...

    Ram SRT8

    I'm dosing off reading CAI and muffler threads. :) Here's that 6.1 Ram that Bouchillon built for a guy. 6.1 Hemi, stock converter, 545 trans, and 3.55 gear. I talked to them today about it. Obviously it's long gone. They said Dodge should have offered this as a package from the factory...

    87 tune questions

    As some know - I am on the cusp of tuning my 12 hemi qc as well as some other mods. Weird enough - I just took a consulting job for 6 months where my employer reimburses me for fuel expense. Regular gas fuel expense. They're not going to cover super unleaded. So my question is - while I...

    engine cleaning

    It seems the general consensus is NOT to degrease the engine bay on these 4th gen rams. Mine, a 12, was a lease termination, so I am second owner. Apparently the person who owned it before, lived, drove, or worked on a dirt road in volusia county, FL. And, didn't care at all if the engine bay...

    Oil Change Freq.

    I know there are multiple posts on this. However, I wanted to see what the latest thinking is on oil change frequency for this 12 hemi. From the dealer it was tagged to be changed in 5,000 miles. Is that about what you guys are doing? Also I've seen a premium synthetic oil that...

    Flowmaster MDS Video?

    I know. Magnaflow rules. However, does anyone happen to have any video of the 5.7 in cab or drive by, with flowmasters on it, when it actually flops over into MDS mode? I'm trying get an idea of how bad it really sounds. Bad as in not good. I'll buy the beer.

    6.4 - vvt?

    Is the 6.4 a VVT cam engine like the 5.7? Is the car 6.4 a VVT cam engine? Are the guys that are swapping in the 6.4 cam using the truck cam or the car cam? Yes I know there's hotter grinds and gears and stall and all that. But I am primarily interested in the 6.4 cam if it's VVT because it...

    Ford Cummins 2,000 hp

    Damn it's smokey up in here! :) Don't know if you guys saw this or not. It's in this month's Hot Rod. It's an old Ford with a 1,000hp forged Cummins in it with a 1,000 shot on it. Anyway, thought you guys might get a kick out of it. I guess a powerstroke wouldn't do it.
