    Diablo Trinity Upgrade Or No??

    Back when I had my 2013 RAM 1500 I purchased a Diablo T1000 with Hemifever custom tuning. After I got rid of the truck, I kept the tuner thinking I could sell it, but never did. Now I’m in a 2017 RAM 1500, beginning to look at MODs to do, and I’m trying to decide if I should keep using the T1000...

    Bilstein 4600 Shock Length Concerns

    After installing them, I found out that the 4600s are not long enough for a leveled front end. The rear is perfect, but the fronts are extended and don't allow for wheel travel.

    New Carrier For Regearing??

    I recently installed new wheels and 33's, and now I'm desperately needing a regear. I have stock 3.55s and want to go to 4.56s. I'll be purchasing new ring and pinion gears as well as install kits for front and rear, but I don't know if I need new carriers. What exactly is a carrier, and do I...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Actually no. There is 0 rubbing. I'm getting new MOOG torsion keys installed this weekend to level the truck. I love the stance these tires and wheels give.

    Bilstein Shock Sleeves

    I just installed Bilstein 4600s on my truck, and the install kit for the fronts had a little metal sleeve with it. The install instructions were complete crap, so I had no idea what it was or what it was for and just didn't use them. Now I've found that the sleeve fits inside the lower bushing...

    Bilstein 4600 front shock install

    Do you remember if you used the supplied little metal cylinder deal that came with the install kit? I just installed mine this morning and I have no idea what that piece is for.

    Bilstein 4600 Shock Length Concerns

    I order some torsion keys to level the front end of my truck, and bought Bilstein 4600 shocks to replace all 4. Afterwards it dawned on me that the shocks may not fit once the truck is leveled. Does anyone know the length of the front shocks, or know if they'll fit and perform properly with a level?

    Very Poor Brake Pad Wear

    So would you say 11 months and roughly 9,000-10,000 miles on these with a stop and go driving style is expected?

    Very Poor Brake Pad Wear

    For the past few weeks I've had that awful squeak you get when it's time for new brake pads. I was confused by this as I installed new drilled and slotted rotors and EBC Greenstuff 6000 brake pads last November. I haven't even driven 10,000 miles since install. Today I pulled off my passenger...

    Torsion Keys and Adjustable Shocks

    I'm needing to get new tires soon, and would like to upgrade my wheels and tires to be more aggressive. I want to level the front end to fit the larger tire, but I'm not very familiar with torsion bars. I know I can get keys to level the front end, and I know on 4th gen Rams you can get Bilstein...

    Torsion key question

    New keys would not add lift on top of the stock keys that you have cranked as you will have to take those off to put the new ones on. As for the question about whether or not it provides additional potential lift, I am not sure. Hopefully someone else will be able to chime in on that.

    Which CV Axle Brand?

    I'm replacing my hub assemblies, and thought I'd go ahead and replace the CV axles as well. Which brand do y'all recommend? RockAuto has many options, but I'm leading towards Cardone or Empire. Let me know your thoughts, or if there's another brand you prefer.

    Need a diagnosis on a grind/rub feeling

    I had the upper and lower ball joints, and inner and outer tie rod ends replaced on the truck about 3 weeks ago. Now I'm noticing an odd grind/rub feeling in the pedal. No sound, just feeling. I feel it more when the wheels are turned slightly to one way or another. I plan to have another front...

    RTV and Rear Differential Wait Time Help

    That makes sense. But since it's the front I'm not worried about adding fluid immediately. I don't plan to put it into 4 wheel drive to need it within a few days of doing the change.
