    My new to me 2nd gen

    What's up guys. I decided to do a little downsizing and traded in the 2013 Ram I've owned for the last couple of years. I picked up this little gem of a 1997 Ram with a 318 to drive back and forth to work. I'm extremely pleased with it thusfar. She's very clean, original paint, dealer maintained...

    What does your temp gauge usually run?

    I'm gonna give my fan clutch a look in the morning and see if it's getting weak. It's not like it's overheating but it's def a tad abnormal

    What does your temp gauge usually run?

    I believe I'm running the 195 degree thermostat.. Kinda wish I'd gone with a 180 now..

    What does your temp gauge usually run?

    What's up guys? Just got back into a "new to me" ram. It's a 1997 1500 sport with a 318. The truck is very clean and has been extremely well maintained and overall I'm very happy with it. I do have one question for everyone.. Where does your coolant temp gauge generally run? I had noticed that...

    Magnet paint damage

    I can def try rubbing compound too. I was thinking that I must just be using the wrong product because the marks aren't deep or rough.. I was actually surprised when the marks wouldn't come off. I had a Tacoma before and had the same magnets on it off and on for a few months a year and never...

    Magnet paint damage

    I tried to get a pic but because it is so light it's nearly impossible. It really just looks like smudged clearcoat or something. I haven't tried clay bar. That may be my next attempt

    Magnet paint damage

    What's up guys? So I made a little mistake and put a couple magnets on my tailgate. They were only on there for a week before I took them off to wash my truck this afternoon. That's when I found that the hot summer sun had baked them a bit and lightly blemished the clearcoat. While it's not very...

    Clock stopped working

    Something interesting happened tonight, I got in my truck after visiting a friend.. Started the truck like normal.. And realized the clock had reset itself. When I tried resetting I found that it is no longer running at all. I set it to the correct time (which was 9:52), and found several...

    6 speed auto shifting characteristics

    What's up guys? I have a 6 speed auto trans in my 2013 quad cab and I was wondering what kind of characteristics other people have been seeing with their 6 speeds. I have been experiencing some harsh shifting during normal accel and at times it seems as though it's hunting for a gear.. Or maybe...

    Easy way to debadge?

    I just did mine this week. I used fishing line to get the emblems off, my fingers and an expired credit card to get the 3M tape off, and to get the adhesive off I used a product from auto zone called turtle wax label and sticker remover. This product saved me soooooo much time compared to using...

    2013 ram 1500

    Nice truck bro! I test drove a V6 a while back and thought it felt rather strong for only a 6 cylinder. In the end I purchased mine with the 4.7 v8 but I wouldn't have had an issue having a pentastar V6. Id say if you get yours sitting like rut1095's than you'll be riding right! I can't wait to...

    What's up guys? This is my first Ram and I've had it for about a month now. It's been an awesome truck so far. My plans are to keep it mild since it's my DD and will be used to haul my kids around. Mods already include HID's, tinted windows, K&N drop in, and weathertech mats front and back. I...

    "Factory Installed" oil filter

    Accidents do happen and trust me they happen at dealers too.. I don't how the dealers are where y'all live haha. The two dealerships I've worked at nobody would go through the trouble of refusing to change a freakin oil filter haha. Besides that.. If a problem occurs.. Guess who gets to fix it...

    "Factory Installed" oil filter

    I've been a dealership technician for nearly 7 years.. I don't know of a single technician out of all the ones I have met who would purposely not change an oil filter to screw a customer (and trust me, there are some shady techs out there). What is being benefitted?? A filter that cost the...
