    new owner of 08 Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI. Few pending issues...

    For #2, check the 3rd brake light on the cab. Those are known to leak when the gasket/seals wear out, and water will drip down inside the cab.

    ‘06 Hemi cuts out/stumbles at highway speed

    Define "cuts out". Does the entire truck go dead? or does the engine just die? Sounds like an electrical issue if you can show that you've got air/spark/fuel.

    General Spring - Leaf spring replacement

    Has anyone bought from this company before? I'm looking to replace my leaf packs with their heavy duty 5 leaf setup. https://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_Springs_Dodge_Ram_1500_2002_2008_s/1913.htm

    front tow hooks

    I got mine off a wrecked truck. You can sometimes find them on eBay too.

    2005 Ram engine trouble

    Those codes mean you're running too rich. Is the truck tuned or stock?

    08 with odd p0300 code

    Another possible culprit could be O2 sensors. I'd recommend having someone troubleshoot with a scan tool though...this won't be an easy "driveway diagnosis"

    Hemi 5.7 valve spring change

    Yes, if you buy OEM parts you can just replace them. The hemi has hydraulic lifters which do not require lash adjustment

    New headers and runs lean

    It probably just has to relearn. Go through a few drive cycles and watch the gauge. If it keeps leaning out, don't push it - go get it tuned

    eBay headers?

    The primaries look good. Hard to find 1.5" primaries on headers - smaller is better on trucks to keep a strong low end.

    Tune up/ Maintenance for 190k '05 SLT 1500?

    Only thing I would add is to clean the throttle body.

    looking for hp

    For throttle bodies, check out "Fastman throttle bodies". Headers could be a good upgrade too.

    Ebay obx headers

    Can you feel a power difference? How is the low end after the header install? Those have 1.5" primaries IIRC which should be really good for lower end torque

    Shuddering/shaking

    I've got an interesting problem that hopefully you guys can help me fix. My truck (specs/mods in signature) has a shake/shudder that feels like the back end of the truck is harshly bouncing up and down. This occurs when I'm trying to accelerate or maintain speed under load or up a hill - when...

    pcv egr affect mpg??

    The 5.7 is designed to run on 89, so if you consistently feed it 89 it will run most efficiently. I doubt you see any gain/loss on 91/93...it doesn't run aggressively enough in stock trim to take advantage of the additional octane level. That being said, I average 14 doing mostly stop and go...

    Does the noise change if you're turning vs. going straight?

    Oem 7 way plug

    If you want to hook that up, all you need are 3 additional wires: 1. Brake controller signal 2. 12v constant 3. Ground

    Interested in a ram, wanted performance & reliability questions.

    I've got 138,000 miles on my original engine and trans. Bought the truck with 120k and no maintenance records. I've had my torque converter and solenoid pack replaced but the trans is still going strong. I'm pretty sure the previous owner towed constantly and beat the crap out of it, but it's...

    EGR delete?

    There are arguments on both sides...you could make the argument that it helps gas mileage because the exhaust gases displace some of the air in the cylinder which means that less fuel is required to reach a stoichiometric mixture. Either way, deleting it won't make much difference performance...

    Blue smoke

    Blue smoke is burning oil...coolant would be white. Has it thrown any codes? Start there. Next thing to check is the spark plug gap. What kind of plugs did you use? Also - did you replace the head gasket and head bolts when you put the head back on?

    Interested in a ram, wanted performance & reliability questions.

    If you can find a cummins 2500 for your price range then you're one lucky SOB. However, if you cannot, get one with the 5.7 hemi...those are pretty tough engines as well. What are you towing? Do you have to have a 2500, or would a 1500 fit your needs?

    Draw-Tite Activator Brake Controller Install

    it depends. Do you have factory 4-pin or 7-pin harness already?
