    Salvage-rebuilt title ?

    Alright in your experiences and opinions. If it checks out and was repaired properly, is there a reason not to purchase a truck that has been salvage-rebuilt titled? I am not concerned with resale value. Thanks y'all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifting a 2wd...

    Another late night tire kicking thought, if you had a let's say, 2004 ram cummins 2500 but a 2wd, could you still use a loft kit like rough country or one of those? I know they have differential drops and stuff in some of those kits so I was hair curious? I know lifted 2wd aren't always "cool"...

    Questions from a gasser driver.

    Just kicking tires with the thought of getting a cummins. Had a a couple questions for you guys. 05 SLT 4x4 quad can long bed, 5.9L, 236k miles, one owner all service records, newer tranny and tires. Asking 11 grand. Seems like a deal? I don't know that I'll pursue it, but it got me thinking. So...

    Rant about previous owner.

    Well, I purchased my 2004 ram with 133k miles and a check engine light for a short in coil number 5. The seller informed me he had had this issue when he bough it and had the PCM replaced. But, apparently not the coil as I finally got around to messing with it last week, I found that coil number...

    Replica wheels, quality or junk?

    I'm eyeing some 20" srt-10 polished or chrome rims (from places like oe wheel replicas or factory reproductions) anyone have any experience with these? I know they are generally cast aluminum and heavy, but I'm going for style not weight savings for the drag strip. Are we talking about a quality...

    Side exhaust and blown tires

    Is this just an urban legend? Or is it a real concern? I am considering adding a side exit exhaust on my truck and do make road trips and such and have heard some say it can cause the tire to overheat and blow or wear oddly. Looking for y'all's personal experiences/opinions. Thanks. Sent from...

    Dress up kits for 5.7?

    Is there such a thing? I'm thinking chrome valve covers and shrouds, billet or chrome filler caps and covers..etc. I've done some searching and see options for the 300/Charger/Magnum, but I am unsure if their dress up kits will work on a ram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Negatives of lowering?

    So I see the positives, but what are the negatives? A 2/4.5 McG spindle drop kit seems to be the best from what I have read. With good shocks, how does it ride? Will it bottom out a lot? Clearance issues as far as just everyday driving? On a 2wd does it wear out any driveline components...

    2wd vs. 4wd. Let's go!

    I know I know, but let's beat it to death one more time for good measure. Here's my situation. Poor college student. Bought a 2004 ram hemi 4x4 with 3.92 rear end(that was an accident) anyways, I get a whopping 9.5 mpg city and 15 highway. Needless to say the truck sits more than it gets driven...

    How do you lowered guys get around?

    I am considering trading my 3.92 geared LSD 4x4 in on a 3.55 gear 2x4 or 4x4. To save gas if nothing else. I dont tow much more than 2500lbs and I seldom see more than a dirt or gravel road. My question is, how is the traction on a 2wd ram? I see 5" or less of snow maybe 5 days out of the year...

    17" vs 20" wheels. Pros and Cons.

    I have 3.92 gears and 20" chrome wheels, I am considering switching to 17" aluminum rims for two reasons, tire prices, and MPG. Has anyone out there noticed better MPG with 17" rims running stock tire size (or close to it) over the 20"? I'm gonna spend the same amount of money either way, but if...

    Ignition code reader not working...

    Alright so i bought my 04 Hemi Ram with an engine code causing the check engine light to come on. Truck runs perfect, so has not really bothered me. However, I will need to get this code to go away by the time inspection rolls around or I will be unable to renew my registration here in NC. The...

    Beating the dead horse...MPG 5.7L

    Okay I've had my 04 hemi 4x4 for about 2 weeks now and in all city driving have only managed 9.5 MPG. I try to keep it under 2000k RPM almost all the time, so basically drive like a grandma and I live in the flat lands of eastern NC. It is the off road package with the 3.92 rear end, but, I have...

    My first Ram!

    2004 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 crew cab with the Hemi. Picked it up a few days ago after selling my 2000 Ford Explorer Limited 5.0L. Love it so far. Previous owner pretty much did all the add ons I wanted such as tool box, spray in bed liner, dual catback exhaust, LED under tailgate light bar, and...

    Need advice on a buy ASAP!

    okay heres the deal, 2004 Ram SLT 4x4 Hemi. 133k miles. In very good shape best I can tell. Its throwing a P2314 code but runs fine and the owner has been driving it for several years as a weekend play toy. The code is for a bad coil on number 5. The seller wants 9500$ including bedliner running...

    I'm a Ford guy, convince me otherwise.

    Alright guys, I have had two Fords and my family has owned several others and a couple GM trucks. Always great cars always run well without issues. My dad always told me to avoid Chrysler products, but I find myself after a Ram 1500 for my next vehicle. Here is what I want to know: My price...
