    so ive made my decision....2wd to 4wd

    4wd on wide summer tires, ANY 4wd/awd on a wide summer tire is never going to compete with a 2wd with proper winter tires. Put 4 summer tires on a Subby and 2 winter tires on any pick-up truck, the truck will do better in snow all day long. Fact.

    46RH trans help with numbers

    I didn't think the put the RH is any Rams (I could be wrong). I was under the impression all 1500 Rams were equipped with the 46RE.

    Which size tires to go with for towing

    Keep in mind when it comes to towing, tires, and gear ratios, horsepower is fine but it is the transmission that takes the most abuse. Stock gears and larger tires = more strain on every shift the tranny makes. Food for thought.

    so ive made my decision....2wd to 4wd

    Winter tires, no weight (all it does it make it harder to stop), and put a set of z-chains under the seat for emergency purposes. If you are partial to Cooper tires, they make a Discoverer M+S tire that is a highly rated winter tire.

    Get a Goodyear Gatorback belt, the Dayco belts are squealing pieces of shit.

    Brake Troubles

    If you can pump the brakes to get pressure, it sounds to me like you are getting air in the brake booster. Or rather, loosing pressure at the brake booster.

    Volant cold air intake

    The Indy isn't a SS/T? I always thought those rims were exclusive to the SS/T. What is different other than badging/decals?

    2000 dodge ram 1500 5.9 died and wont start back up...help!!

    Going out on a limb here. Is your cat clogged? When the truck can no longer get rid of the exhaust gases, it will shut the truck down. After time the cat will air out a bit and allow the truck to run for a short while again. I know this does not fit with the code you were getting but, if you...

    Front crank shaft seal replacement?

    It may be as easy as pulling your crankshaft vibration damper (harmonic balancer). They make a sleeve for the part of the balancer that goes into the oil pan that can fix some leaks. Another common leak in that area is the oil pan gasket (which doubles as the lower timing chain cover gasket).

    Volant cold air intake

    Do you have to remove the rubber flap that covers that area next to the radiator?

    Can't lock doors from outside

    Id be willing to bet that the lock and/or door is not original to the truck so it does not match the ignition key.

    Volant cold air intake

    Where does the ram air tube pull air from? Is that the vacuum for the brake booster just hanging there by the air hat? Love the truck man!!!

    Billet grill badges?!

    Have JL Inuitive Design make you a badge with the "rumble bee" in it. That would look bad-ass in my opinion. I want one with the Decepticon insignia in it for mine.

    Do you guys think sandbags really help in the winter?

    I agree with Merc, It's all about the tires, no baggies, lol.

    46RE Rebuild vs Reman

    Every single person I know personally that purchased either Jasper motors or transmissions, ALL had major breakdowns within the first two years. They are garbage rebuilds with inferior parts in my humble opinion. I have never once heard a good review of anything Jasper sells. You get what you...

    Needing some help

    My guess would be the governor pressure solenoid and sensor. Easy to replace but you have to drop the tanny pan again. May as well check band adjustment while you are in there too.

    Help troubleshoot possible tranny issue

    the 46re is kinda known for only loosing fluid under pressure (IE when driving) so you park it and no spots and wonder WTF?

    Help troubleshoot possible tranny issue

    I am not sure, I have never heard of that happening before.

    How well does your ABS work in the snow?

    Our RWABS is not a great system to begin with, add larger tires to that equation and you no longer have RWABS.

    Help troubleshoot possible tranny issue

    Sounds like the rear clutch is toast. Manual low and reverse both use the rear band, but the rear clutch needs to work to go forward in any gear.

    New guy! need advice on a 99

    First off, Welcome to RF! Second the 46re is NOT a crap tranny, it just requires more routine maintenance than other transmissions. If it is a new tranny, get the paperwork and warranty info or call bullshit on it being a new tranny. The hesitation you experience could be many things...

    Tapping Into Factory Headlight-On Buzzer

    Run a separate relay and power line for each light set, use the parking light wire (with a 2-3amp in-line fuse) as the source. All lights will be actuated by turning on the parking lights without taxing the parking light circuit.

    Tapping Into Factory Headlight-On Buzzer

    I am not sure where to tap into the buzzer but it is fairly easy to tap into the parking lights (using a separate relay) for the same effect. New lights will only come on when the parking lights are turned on.

    HELP!! I Hope I didn't kill her

    If it turns with a wrench at the crank it is not seized. Do a compression test on each cylinder to verify that your rings are still intact. Change the oil pump, and oil and filter. Do a thorough inspection of parts when you have the oil pan down, look for shavings, etc.. Expect the oil pump...

    Cummins swap

    Not for nothing but you can buy a factory correct diesel for 10k... the extra 2k is worth it to avoid the "what ifs" in my opinion.
