    hey guys- Just looking for preparation advice. We are on a trip from Michigan to Washington’s state, and yesterday my truck hesitated a little pulling into gas station, then in a traffic jam the accelerator pedal was barely working. I have a Smarty programmer and read codes, came back as...

    Shorty programmer ?

    Hey guys Just bought an 05 Cummins w a Shorty programmer. I looked at the book, but it didn't say how to know what #s as far as hp/tq each program was for. I know the previous owner had the shorty flashed w hotter programs, but couldn't remember if it got flashed back to regular or not. How can...

    New speakers?

    Very true. Replacement speakers are far more clear. But even mapping the stock speakers isn't going to do much.

    DIY Cup Holder Lights

    I did something similar but slightly easier. Autozone sells a 2 pack of 8" led strips. I bought green to match the factory lights. I simply popped off the dash bezel, used wire taps to tap the power wire to the headlight switch (powered only when parking/headlights are on, and also works w...

    Weight Distribution on 2500?

    The wdh will greatly improve truck handling, even if the truck itself can handle the weight. I have a 3500 and pull a 8000lb travel trailer. The 3500 can pull the trailer on the hitch a One, but it's night and day better with the wdh bars on. FYI, check out the Equalizer wdh hitch. Ive used...

    New speakers?

    It's hard to get decent bass without a sub at all with this system. I had an 03 ram that I put infinity reference speakers into, and my 05 now I put Memphis audio power reference speakers into it. Both had aftermarket head units. The bass was barely changed from the stock speakers. The...

    Power wire with power only when lights are on?

    Well I took a pic, but it doesn't show the brightness well at all. It's just about perfect : it illuminates the cup holders but doesn't grab attention. I take it thinly way to post a pic here is to host it on the web somewhere first? An any rate, those 8" Autozone led strips work...

    Power wire with power only when lights are on?

    I ended up using the power wire at the headlight switch since it was already tapped for gauges which made it obvious. I grounded it at the cigar lighter. I used 1 of a 2 pack of 8" long green led strips from Autozone. The were very thin, so it fit perfectly under the lower lip of the dash bezel...

    Taillight wiring on 05

    Just as an FYI, you don't need resistors for the reverse lights. I put both lights in while waiting for a reply here, and I don't get a 'bulb out' light when in reverse or at all. So instead of deleting the to figured this May help someone in the future. :)

    Power wire with power only when lights are on?

    Power wire with power only when lights are on? (Led cup holder lights) Hey guys, Going to pick up a couple led lights to use as upholder lights, and was wondering if there's a wire near that area that's only powered when parking lights are on? If not, I know I can use the cigar lighter...

    Interior led replacement

    Agreed. I bought resistors but put the bulbs in first and didn't get a bulb out light. I did. Get the bulb out light when my fog light went out. Haven't seen them in the he dark but the bulbs look way brighter in the daylight.

    EGT/ trans temp redlines

    Hey guys- Just got my 2nd Ram, an 05 quad cab diesel. Wondering what the EGT and transmission temperatures should be limited to. I have the Smarty programmer and EGT/trans/boost gauges. I'm familiar w t he redlines that we're place for my 00 Excursion diesel, but not for this motor. The...

    Quad cab under seat subwoofer (drivers side)

    Hey guys- Looking for options for a single drivers side sub on my 05 quad cab. I really don't want to use the passenger side so I have at least some room for my stuff. However, if the sound is much better on oass side I may have to go that route. I have a Kenwood DVD head unit w an Aline...

    Interior led replacement

    Thanks moparman. I take it for the reverse bulbs the resistor is just to keep the bulb out lamp from lighting? I think I'm only going to do the exterior reverse bulb but do the interior map light and dome lights too. Thanks again.
