    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Long time no post. Dropped mine off to get the 5.7l plenum, short valve, and short valve actuator replaced since mine failed. I still think these fail because of the plastic upper as well as in my case, lack of hard driving. Like you casually wind the vane day after day in normal driving only so...

    Truck tug of war

    In for the laughs because this kind of crap is what keeps me employed doing parts.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Sweet! I keep promising to make us an adirondack BENCH with an old PowerWagon gate and what's left of an ArtMorrison frame shipping crate we have sitting around since there's Plenty of 2x4's and 2x6's to choose from. :D

    Spark Plug Shenanigans

    A lot of people end up replacing their iridiums at 65,000-80,000 because the iridiums just do not last as expected. Also having iridium initially and gone to copper I can say for me, with California style fuel, the copper runs better. I changed to copper before I hit 40k. YMMV

    how to disable air bags

    Without openly posting the answer as it realistically skirts forum rules and puts me at liability stateside I’ll just say this... ..look at your Owner’s Manual. The list of fuses is right there and just as the one to disable traction control when off-road is a known so it the air bag...

    My truck attracts weirdos

    OP, you do have an avenue of resolution. "Yes, hello, is this Alberta CMP? Yes, do I have to fill something out here https://www.alberta.ca/report-a-concern-about-driver-fitness.aspx or can I just call in Alberta plate C0D7916, black lifted Chevy pickup? I can, cool, there's a video up also...

    My Mechanic Could Have Killed Me

    True but the mechanic is also not gonna catch a break. To have let that go and end up on the road ultimately shows ineptitude. If it was as common a problem as the lie indicated then MarshRam would have gotten the call saying the component was not safe and needed to be replaced PRIOR to it...

    If you could have ANY truck, what would it be.

    No picture necessary, everyone here should know what I speak of, if not you soon will. Icon D-200 Crew Cab Reformer in Gubmint Green, Johnathan and his crew of wizards checked off any box I would have marked.

    My Mechanic Could Have Killed Me

    *Pistons rarely crack or fail from normal use. It happens but it’s rare.**If you go all Samsonite Ape on the pistons pushing/compressing them in wrong they fracture from the stress riser the tool or a crooked plate tool or backwards pad causes. Even pressing down on a reversed pad that has...

    My Mechanic Could Have Killed Me

    Only to provide added insight without pointing fingers. The only additional steps I add to any brake job that has not already been described in a post listing steps prior is before I flip the old pads around so as to safely press the pistons is I fully clean down the calipers, including a scrub...

    Some factory plugs come with a harness end adapter that simply pops off and transfers over to the other style of connector. Try seeing if it has that first.

    The Base Model? Maybe Not.

    @TexRam555 Here’s why. Quad cabs look better. Have a longer bed. Not everyone needs a Crew Cab.

    Lowest Mile 2011 Ram In US?

    Sweet! Now go on yelp and put the bait and switch dealer/lot on blast. Then report them to the state for “Bait and Switch” and if ya got images in person of the pod and screen shots of the ad that’s up send them too. Hell, post the info in here and I’ll call and troll their lying a$$es.

    Tearin out Bushes with a 1500

    Dig out at least a 5’ circle and 3-4’ down. Soak the pit for a few days to loosen the soil. Cut any major roots as ya go. Little by little works best versus all at once. Don’t forget there will be a tap root too.

    Maybe but Karma is still a thing by one means or another. Things will catch up to the other vehicle owner.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    :/ Haven't driven the truck in a week because I use the company beater-mobile. I decide to take it grocery shopping and I'm in there less than 5 minutes in and out and some scumbag soccer-mom-lady either ran into the rear bumper or let a shopping cart hit it full steam. not even a note. At least...

    Differential fluid issue.

    OEM service is standard 75/140 with the modifier added in after the first quart so YES, just add the modifier after the first quart of 75/140 and you're fine.

    Finally kept the promise of fixing the light granite dust scratches and soft dent in the roof. Had a casualty when I felt the door sill scuff cover go "POP" 3 times from standing in the door sill while using the Rupes polisher. NOTE: NEVER STAND ON THE DOOR SILL SCUFF PLASTIC FOR LONG PERIODS...
