Rear Wall Vent
If you are having a dust issue you should install a filter... these trucks don’t have anything. I bought the filter from Geno’s garage. They also have a CAB filter for the grids in front of hood. -

Ice in Throttle Body

On cold nights I plug it in and when I go to remote start to warm up cab the oil temp is much much warmer. I also have about a 5-6 mile drive to work and I keep the temps screen up on the dash to...- Hipps2000

Fluid film
Look up NH oil undercoaters they sell a great product similar to FF but better, no smell. My first year I used FF, corrosion 3000 is also very good. NH oil undercoaters developed there own oil which is available in clear or black tint if vechicle is older freshens up the look underneath. The are... -

Work truck suspension upgrade
The rear upper and lower control arms have simple rubber bushings and after 90,000 and heavy weight will also be toast. Replace with higher quality bushings like poly or Johnny joints. Replaced mine at 35000 miles -
Work truck suspension upgrade
In the front I went with the zone uca they are beefy As hell and come with a solid ball joint. Highly recommend them. For the back controlarms nobody beats core 4x4. Call them directly and ask for Spence. Tell him you want the rear upper and lower control arms with the Johnny joints on one... -
Work truck suspension upgrade
Will not lift the rear at all. In the front they are leveling or adjustable shocks, you can just run them at the stock height or I choose to level front up approx 2” up which is middle setting, I can still get my truck in my 9x7 garage with 34” tires and a 1.5” body lift on mine. I have all the... -
Work truck suspension upgrade
You don’t have leaf springs in the rear. I would look and variable rate rear springs that increase your carrying load. Look at tuft truck. I have super springs which allow for 400-500lbs more carryload in rear. Also the upper and lower rear control arms are garbage and probably shot. They are... -
Best brand of headers
Which ever you choose get them ceramic coated inside and out. Makes a world of difference as well as preserves them. My headers are still looking like new! Had them installed 3 years ago. My magnaflow 16869 broke a weld recently and they warranted me a brand new 16869 kit which I just had coated...- Hipps2000

Ceramic Coating your own LT Headers treatment
For the price of about $350 to get them done inside and outside professionally including the cat and piping you are not saving a thing...creating only aggravation. You’ll also never achieve the same quality results.- Hipps2000

Cats or No Cats, that is the question...
Stainless WORKs is also top notch and was my second choice over ARH. At the time of my installation the ARH were a better deal. I would also have them ceramic coated inside and out no matter which you choose. Jet coat or local coater.- Hipps2000

ARH headers install
I paid about $550 to have them installed at my ram dealership. I highly recommend that you get the headers and y pipe ceramic coated if you want to do it right. Once installed your not taking them off. I would also go with new OEM gaskets and stronger header bolts I used stage 8 locking. It cost...- Hipps2000
