    Metal shavings in oil

    The filter turned up clean. Took it a shop nearby they said the shavings were bearings. He said the filter was clean cuz the pickup on the pump is about 1" above the oil pan bottom so the particulate doesn't get picked up. Going to the dealer on Wednesday. The noise is still there. Don't really...

    Metal shavings in oil

    I previously posted a thread related to this but thought the new findings needed a new thread, I hope that's OK. As I said in my other post about a month ago I changed the oil in my truck from dino oil to synthetic. The truck is a 2009 with 5.7 Hemi with at the time of the oil change 86683 kms...

    Engine noise after oil change?

    Do you think I should pull the filter or would it be OK to leave the oil in the filter and just mix it with regular oil?

    Engine noise after oil change?

    I'll try and upload a video to You Tube. I switched the filter to a Mobil 1 but no difference. The noise seems louder under the front end than in the engine bay itself. I think Ill try going back to regular oil.

    Engine noise after oil change?

    Changed the oil on my 2009 Ram Hemi switching from conventional to Castrol Syntec 5w20 synthetic. About 86,000 kms on the truck. Noticed a weird noise when I got home. It happens after the engine warms up. It's kind of a cylic noise, almost sounds like a belt although it is not a squeal or chirp...

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Been lurking on the forum for awhile so it's nice to contribute finally.DCRam, I' m running 3.92 gears and still have lots of power. Can't comment on mileage cuz I don't have a programmer yet to correct the tire size. What is telemetry?

    RCX 6" lift in!

    Well I finally got the RCX 6" lift installed and some 295/65/20 Toyo AT II Extremes on the stock chrome clads. Have about 1 1/4" of rake which I kind of like now that the truck is taller. Had 2" of rake to start with. The pics were taken with my iphone, I'll try and get some more up when the...

    Need for Bilsteins?

    The tires are about the biggest I can fit on stock rims.They are taller than a 35x12.50 but 3/4" less in width. I thought the RCX lift both lifted and leveled the truck so just wondering while it's in the shop is it worth it to have them put the Bilsteins in too.

    Need for Bilsteins?

    Getting a 6" RCX lift installed on Thursday along with 295/65/20 Toyo AT II Extemes on stock 20" Chrome Clads. What would Bilsteins do for me other than stiffen up the front end? I dont want the truck to be perfectly level and I'm not going any higher.Just figured while it's in the shop are they...

    Adding to RCX 4" ?

    Can't decide between a 4" or 6" RCX lift on my 2009.6" with 35's seems a bit too high for me right now.Is it possible ,if after awhile with the 4" I decide I should have gone with the 6" could I install Bilsteins up front and new coils in the back to get that extra 2"? From what I've read the 4"...
