    Shudder in OD

    So I have a 2004 5.7 with a 545RFE. Trans was rebuilt about 30k miles ago with “upgraded” TC (no idea what “upgrades” means from this guy as I no longer trust him or go to him) with a “shift kit” (again, quotes because who knows if it’s an actual upgrade or snake oil). Now when it shifts into OD...

    Possible misfire?

    Feels like my 5.7 is misfiring. 55-60mph in OD when trying to accelerate slightly. Not a lot but feels like a bucking sensation, or a misfire under high load at low rpm. Sound like something common? No cel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission slip/buck

    Whelp been a while since I’ve felt this but my problem is back. I have an 04 2500 qclb 5.7 with a 545rfe and at 125k M I felt like it was “bucking” in OD around 60mph and on slight uphills like it didn’t know if it wanted to downshift or not. Shithead mechanic at the shop said it was the tranny...

    LED turn signals ISSUE

    So I finally finished a retrofitted set of lights that I started probably close to 4 years ago. The halos are Profile Pivot Switchback LEDs that run off the turn signals and blink amber when signaling. The headlights use the original halogen signal bulbs. Being that these bulbs are the only...

    Power Steering Problem?

    Ive looked for an answer but the problem other describe is different. So this problem has been around for a little while but has recently worsened. When I turn the wheel, there is a pulsating that I can feel through the steering wheel. Almost feels like if I had big knobbly tires or paddles, but...

    HELP! Seriously need some help now!

    Alright so a whole buttload of electrical things are going wrong inside the truck. About 2 months ago I put in aux toggles for my emergency lights. When I went to ground out the switches to a common ground, there was a surge and sparks. Not sure why there were sparks as the other wire, despite...

    Another Rim/Offset Question

    Yep, thats right, another rim offset question to plague this forum with. Unfortunately searching for it comes up with nothing because searching "-12" "-24" isnt allowed so "offset" is the only thing recognized and then everything under the sun about offset shows up. Heres the issue. Been...

    Quick LSD question

    So everything ive read everywhere supports that LSDs, when in park and jacked off the ground, spin the same way. No question in my mind that the statement makes sense. But heres where i get confused, mine dont. Build sheet shows LSD option, rubber on the ground shows LSD option, but when the...

    Faded lights in dash

    Ive had a come and go problem since i got my truck a few years ago and this time it wanted to show up but it never wanted to go away. Any ways, this happens. Never mind my radio, but underneath it are the dials for the heat/ac and all that fun stuff. As you can see, some of it is lit and the...

    I have a 2004 2500HD 4wd w/stock suspension. Am i able to just throw two bils up front to level and call it a day, or would that be unadvisable/impossible/unlikely?

    Stacking tuners on 04 2500?

    I have an 04 2500 and a couple different toys on it right now, which includes a DS intune with a simple, yet custom tune. Now anyone can tell you that DS doesnt support trans tuning with the 04s, BUT SC does. Now Ive read, and do believe, that DS is the better tuner, but SC does "unlock" the...

    6.1 with Procharger question

    Hey yall. Ive been thinking about going with a procharged 6.1 hemi with a 6.4 crank, forged internals, and a mild cam. Guy says he can easily get 700hp out of it and i know hes not kidding. My only concern is how practical will this be as a daily driver? I know it depends on a lot of things but...

    Big motor build

    Im looking for some of the guys on here with some experience in motor builds. So i went to my local guy and asked him about boosting my next motor(we decided the one i have now isnt it at the miles its at) along with a cam. He said at that point id be foolish not beefing it up. He said a 6.1...

    Trouble finding headers

    Hey yall. Ive got a 04 2500 5.7 4x4 QCLB and from what ive seen, absolutely nobody makes a set of long tubes for it. Ive seen a few for single cabs, a few for 2wd, many for 1500s, but nothing for mine!!! The only thing that ive found is a set of JBA shorties for around a grand and thats just not...

    So i got this truck may of 2013. Its a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500HD 4x4 quad cab long bed with the 5.7 HEMI. A couple months later I took off the cap to sell but I liked the idea of the ability to keep things away from the elements so I bought a Husky tool box. Its an aluminum diamond plate box...

    WARNING for S&B CAI 2500 4x4

    So I ordered the CAI for my 2004 Ram 2500 4x4 and got it in yesterday. While I was installing it today, I noticed the box didnt fit because it was hitting the top of the shock. I called up S&B and the guy had said they recently discovered the problem and would send me new parts and adapters for...
