    Engine power loss

    Yes it does, its not anything on the driveline, its the engine. It it varies with engine RPM and sounds almost like a supercharger whine.

    Engine power loss

    While Im good with bodywork and suspension and electronics, Im not so good with engines. My truck lost a race to a Camaro with 180hp and 2.73 gears, so my belief that it is down on power is somewhat justified. I just saw a post about someone with an issue that could be related so Im going to...

    Body lift steering linkage

    Im wanting to put bigger tires on my truck, but I want to get it a few inches higher first, I already have air bags in the back and the front is leveled, so it sits about 1.5"-2" higher than a stock half tonne (I think this is true, Im not entirely certain, but im not getting into that now). So...

    No power to anything

    Well turns out it was the IOD fuse (51), which is the one that is separate from all the other fuses in its own housing. I put a new fuse in and blew it once I reconnected the battery, but once I disconnected the radio it worked fine. Still not sure what the issue is though, but it is working...

    Radio Fuse

    Fixed it, in case anyone else has this issue (IOD fuse blown, no power to cab), the solution was to hit it harder, it will go back down into the housing.

    Strangest thing I've yet found

    Im thinking Justin is right, it's still kind of humorous though

    Radio Fuse

    This is going to be simple, but I cant figure it out. I blew the radio fuse(#51) in my 2003 1500 Hemi, it is in a small housing kind of thing. The airbag fuses also have this sort of housing. The issue im having is that I dont know how to get the fuse housing back down, I dont want to force it...

    Strangest thing I've yet found

    So my truck has this issue where it has no power to any of its electronics unless it is turned on with the key. I started pulling apart the dash to try to find the issue, I found something strange. There is a key under the dash, held in one of the wiring clips. It has a few wires taped to it. It...

    Poor mans paint job

    My truck has a couple bad scratches, rust holes, pinstripes, ect. and I was thinking about doing some bodywork, the rustholes are easy enough to patch, small dents are just bondo and sanding, (there is one large dent that is going to be tough though). Im going to paint it after of course, but I...

    Torsion lift

    So Im beginning to think that the previous owners may have done this already. It has aftermarket bags in the rear, so maybe it would make sense to keep it somewhat level, I just didnt notice because it is still raked. But the rear sits as high as my friends 1 tonne Cummins, so that would be a...

    Torsion lift

    I will either put a 4.5" suspensions lift, block/torsion key lift with a 3" body lift on my truck eventually. But for now I wanted to try just cranking the torsion bar preload bolts. I forgot to measure the ride hight beforehand, but turned the bolts 3 turns and now the front sits at 37.5"...

    No power to anything

    I am having a bit of an issue with my truck, it runs and starts normally, just as it should, but when the key is not in the ignition the truck has to power to anything. Cab lights, headlights, clock, and locks should work without the key needing to be in the ignition. I believe this started a...

    Body lift vs Suspension lift

    Any Canadians have any suggestions on where to look for this sort of thing? Shipping from most places is mildly exorbitant, and the current exchange rate is not helping at all.

    Body lift vs Suspension lift

    Ive had my '03 1500 for a few months now and have learned it's capabilities offroad. I quite clearly need some type of lift to continue to do what I have been doing. Im in school so money is limited, I was thinking a leveling kit and 3" body lift would do, but that would run me over...

    Fuel and power issues

    Also it occasionally throws a bad fuel level sensor code, but not consistently

    Fuel and power issues

    TLDR: I have bad fuel economy and the engine feels sluggish at low RPM, is it the injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, throttle body, some combination of that, or something else? I got a 2003 1/2 tonne with the Hemi a few weeks ago and I have noticed (according to the onboard sensors) that it...

    Transfer case shifter

    How do I go about removing the boot and plastic cover on the transfer case shifter? It seems like it should just pop up with a bit of force, but I thought I should check so I dont break things.

    12" Subwoofer mounting

    I have a few 12" Subwoofers left over from an old project, does anyone know where I can mount them without losing the storage under the rear seat? I was thinking under the front seat, but I dont know how well that would work, the other option is in the rear doors, has anyone tried that? Thanks...
