    Is the 2019-2020 Classic considered a 5th or a 4th Gen?

    I am thinking it's probably a Hybrid model with the underside of a 5th Gen and the body of a 4th Gen but I would be curious to know from the experts if anyone knows?

    Lights come on by themselves... WTF???

    My lights come on anytime... When the truck is sitting, light switch is off, nothing lighted up or anything the lights just light... I have plain regular Headlights, so no relays, no HID's, nothing special. This morning again when I woke up, sure enough the lights were on... Went outside...

    Rack and Pinion seals replacement

    OK first let me start by saying I might have taken on a bit more than I thought I could chew... :crazy: I had a rack and pinion I had found for free to replace my leaking one on my truck. After inspection it seemed in very good condition, but I found it had started to leak a little. Since it...

    DIY Cooling system pressure gauge.

    I'm having a problem with my cooling system where the radiator is inflating like a balloon. You read this right, not the hoses, the radiator itself is blowing up out of shape... I am guessing this is the result of over-pressurized cooling system, due to a faulty head gasket, pushing...

    4.7L Exhaust manifolds, can they be interchanged

    The goal would be to have the manifolds exit port towards the front of the vehicle to fit a twin turbo kit which I could put my hands on for very cheap... I would not want to have to invest in a set of custom fab headers which would defeat the purpose of this very cheap upgrade... if it can't...

    4.7L exhaust manifold gasket replacement...

    Anyone in the rust belt did that and how it went (stud and bolts removal...) Everything is quite heavily rusted on the underside of my truck and want to psychologically prepare for what's coming. Truck sound like a train wreck when cold. It usually calms down when the truck is hot, but it is...

    Are 20"s required with Lowering Spindles?

    Kepping in mind I have a 4x4... Was under the truck today and was looking at the clearance between the 17" OEM RAM Mag and the Lower Ball Joint and it got me wondering if 20" rim were required to install Lowering spindles? If the Hub is moved upwards 2", my 17" rims will most definitely...

    Should I feel stupid!

    We learn new things every day... I was having a knock noise coming from the front of the truck when backing up. Despite having done the whole front end (wheel hubs, tie rod ends, ball joints, etc...) I was still getting the knock. Someone here suggested it could be my rack and pinion and...

    Might be too good to be true, but I just ordered this : NEW Double 2 DIN Android Car GPS Stereo DVD Player 6.2" 3G WiFi USB HDMI+Camera Probably a crappy radio, but it being an Android device rang a bell in my geek head as to all I could actually do. Plus it has built-in GPS and...

    How funny this is...

    Been on here for a little over 6 months now. I am starting to notice that most new RAM owners get the 4.7, as other more experienced mopar fans mostly have hemis or 5.9L... Too bad there have been some engineering errors on the 4.7L as from my readings it could/should have been a great...

    May have found my Hemi Donor !

    I might have found my Hemi Donor... However it is a 2 wheeler, and a short bed. My question is : Is the length of the driveshaft different on a 4.7L than for a 5.7? I know the transmission is the same aside from the output shaft which goes directly into the Xcase, but as such I would...

    tuner for 2002 4.7l

    I have done a little research here and elsewhere on the topic but have not found a lot of info on the specifics I am looking for. Driving a 2002 1500 with 4.7L limits my options on buying a tuner for the truck. So far I have found that pretty much only SCT supports my engine/year. I have...

    Can you drive a 4x4 without the front Diff?

    I have a Differential bearing issue I want to take care of. However I would like to be able to drive the truck while I do the repairs on the diff. :superhack: I know there are links between the Front Diff and the engine mounts on the 4x4 so can I just remove the front diff. and still drive the...
