    No start - Dead battery symptoms VS starter solenoid or relay?

    Truck will not crank / start. This afternoon upon starting my 2009 1500 5.7 Hemi (220k miles) the engine had a brief hesitation / slow-start; just as normally expected when a battery is going south - I went straight home and upon parking & shutting off I tried to restart only to get a very...

    No heat problem

    I have a 2009 1500 (5.7 Hemi) SLT variant and have pretty much no heat. I have flushed the core by disconnecting both heater core lines from the point where they are attached to the block just below the thermostat and also replaced the blend door actuator (the one that's very easily accessible...

    Bakflip Revolver X2

    Bugjuice or Birddog - Do you know or mind measuring how much space the rolled up takes up in the bed in the open position when strapped down? Looking for a measurement from the inside of the front bed bulkhead to the back of the rolled cover - hoping it's no more than 11" Thanks, Steve

    I do not, just water. Just curious - Concerned Rain-X in the reservoir can cause problems?

    Windshield Washer problem

    Looking for suggestions on trouble shooting a problem with my windshield washers. Driver's side is a dribble and passenger side is about half stream. Reservoir was half full (topped off now) and pump 'sounds' normal. All I've done so far is jimmy a small paperclip into the nozzle hoping to...

    Turn signal out but not??????

    I had a similar problem. I'd get the error message that my right rear was out and have the fast flash. Bulb was fine but discovered if I wiggled the black connector that attaches to the bulb receptacle and where the wire terminate it would correct itself - there was a loose connections in that...

    Rear Bulb Replacement Socket?

    Apparently I have a bad passenger side rear light socket; occasionally receive a bulb out warning - unbolting the lens and wiggling the bulb temporarily corrects the problem. I believe the passenger side socket has previously been replaced as it looks noticeably newer compared to the drivers...

    2009 Rear Bulb - Problem & Question

    OK - getting the bulb out error again; bulb is fine, it is a bit dimmer than normal. Bad ground sounds like the most likely problem. Can someone steer a novice regarding electrical in the right direction? Best to start w/ the bulb socket? Suggestions? Thanks, Steve

    2009 Rear Bulb - Problem & Question

    I took time earlier to check the bulb; also checked the left light and found it had a 3157 bulb while the right was a 3057 - 8.3 watt VS 6.7 watt. Put in a matching 3057 in the left and now the right works just fine. I'm assuming it was a case of the computer detecting less resistance on the...

    2009 Rear Bulb - Problem & Question

    Recently I've been having a problem with my Right / Rear tail light bulb; rec'd a warning that it was out via the EVIC and the expected fast blinking. Changed it with a new bulb that night which did not fix right away; swapped the old bulb in and it worked correctly - confused but moved on...

    OEM Style aftermarket bumper - quality?

    Bump I just rec'd the insurance settlement - plan on getting an aftermarket locally for ~ $350. I can get it with or without the sensor holes; current setup is without but I'm thinking of getting it with the holes and adding an aftermarket sensor kit - I generally don't have any problems at...

    OEM Style aftermarket bumper - quality?

    Thanks for the feedback Ram12. Did you also get a new step pad from Rock? If so, how was the fit / finish?

    OEM Style aftermarket bumper - quality?

    OEM Style aftermarket bumper - quality? Aftermarket Sensor Kit? Just got rear-ended today on the freeway; pretty hard hit and VERY surprised that the only apparent damage is my rear bumper - had my hitch in the receiver which appeared to save any body damage; doesn't appear to be any damage or...

    Locking the tailgate in down position?

    HL - You're a funny guy... Thanks for the input. When a gate is in the down position without any weight it does not take much at all to initiate a bounce; the bike I reference is rather light @ 17lbs - Trust me, I'm WAY beyond my Young-N-Dumb driving stupid days. BTW - I'm aware it may be...

    Locking the tailgate in down position?

    Is the an easy or best way to lock the tailgate in the down position? I have my bicycle mount attached to the inside of the tailgate along with a Backflip VP cover; If I want to keep the cover 'down' in folded position only to avoid blocking the rear window I need to drive with the gate down...

    Yes, another spark plug question - NGK or Autolite Iridium?

    Well, right or wrong I just installed the Autlolite Iridium XD's - figured at a total price of $38 I'd give them a try. So far I have noticed a little smoother idle and seems to run quite well; of course I'm sure new NGK's would yield the same results as the old plugs were noticeably worn, gap...

    Yes, another spark plug question - NGK or Autolite Iridium?

    I was just about ready to just go with the stock NGK plugs but decided to go ahead and try the Autolite Iridiums after discovering there's a $2.50 rebate per plug right now; RockAuto was $4.55 per plug so after TT&L and the rebate I'm looking at $38 for 16 Iridium XP plugs - guess we'll see...

    Yes, another spark plug question - NGK or Autolite Iridium?

    I'm @ 90,000 miles on a used '09 HEMI; I'm assuming the plugs have only been changed once based upon a visual, seems to run just fine but time for new plugs. I've searched and read countless threads on how to change and the debate between stock NGK's, platinum, and iridium. Consensus to be...

    Remove broken exhaust stud

    More thoughts on bolts? I'm dropping the truck off Monday morning at a local shop to do the bolt extraction; they better equipped w/ tools and I don't want the aggrevation... Right or wrong am planning on sticking with the factory logs for now to keep cost down; good point about checking for...

    Exhaust manifold part # cross reference

    Can someone cross reference what's apparently a new exhaust manifold gasket part number? Truck is an '09 5.7 HEMI - I had read that the part #'s were 53032965AF & 53032966AF. Local dealer gave me the following saying these have superseded the above. New are supposed to be: 5045495AA &...

    D/FW shops for broken exhaust bolts

    Right now I plan on just putting the factory exhaust logs back on; too many other bills at the moment - will probably end up getting headers at a later date but looking to mitigate cost and keep things simple for now. - I assume it would be a different Stage 8 kit that has longer bolts for...

    D/FW shops for broken exhaust bolts

    I called a few muffler shops; one guy mentioned I'd probably be better off with just an 'old school' mechanic - obviously really just looking at someone worth their salt at removing broken studs. Called and also stopped by Acme Garage on Pleasant Ridge in Arlington - within a mile from our house...
