    anyone got a fix for the dreded running board coming off?

    Originally, it was per plate. The price was actually 12.95 previously. Not sure why it’s that expensive now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SDTruckSprings is where I bought mine from. The video says that it’s for mounting a Powerstep, but it works well for remounting your OEM step. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    anyone got a fix for the dreded running board coming off?

    This actually is a common problem. AMP Research makes a reinforcement bracket that is money for fixing this problem. Have to pound it back flat and grind it smooth, then weld these brackets on. After that, I had no issues. Did it to both of my running boards at all attachment points before I...

    35’s on 2wd with maxtrac 7.5 lift

    Yeah, I loved the look. Upgraded to a 4.56 diff from Moe’s that was money, then tuned her up right...was better than stock. Loved that truck. Had to let her go when I went overseas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    35’s on 2wd with maxtrac 7.5 lift

    Had 37x12.5x20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s on my ‘11 2wd. Same lift. No rubbing after they folded the front of the fender liner in during some off-road dumbassery. You’ll want the spacer in the rear. Mine rubbed very, very lightly from time to time on the fender liner back there. Those 37s...

    HOW TO: Replace exhaust manifold studs VIDEO

    This is an awesome presentation on this issue. Need to get mine replaced. Have had the issue for about 8 months. Quote from the stealership is about $1000 for them to replace them. 60% labor cost on that quote. I’ll be pinning this thread for sure. Thanks again! Sent from my iPhone using...

    Leveling out a 2wd Ram

    It would seem that it varies from truck to truck. My 2011 needed 2.5" to level the front. It had A LOT of rake for some reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Told I can't level my 2011 Ram 1500 2wd

    I leveled and lifted my 2011 2wd with a MaxTrac kit. Shop did it for me, but they didn't know about MaxTrac before I brought them the parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifted Laramies

    Don't hate on the 2wd. Factory rims on a MaxTrac 7" front, 4.5" rear suspension lift. Nitto 37x12.5x20 Terra Grappler G2. No rubbing. Need a 1.5" wheel spacer in the rear to match the flare in the front from the new knuckles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2016 1500 squeak developed in front left

    I had that exact thing happen with my MaxTrac lift/level. Discovered a small tear in the boot that I think probably happened while I was "testing" my new tires and lift off-road. [emoji12] Squeak was first, now a knocking. Out of warranty, so gonna hafta save up for the joint replacement...

    What is a cheap lift for my 2wd Ram 1500

    I have the MaxTrac 7" kit, which really results in about a 4.5" lift after the level, and I haven't regretted it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2015 2x4 Level

    My stocks were 33" actual, these 37x12.5s on the stock 20x9 wheels actually measure 35.5. Just saying that I highly recommend MaxTrac as the option for us 2x4 guys. And they are Nitto AT Terra Grapplers. If you were to go with an MT, definitely would rub. No rubbing with the ATs, though.

    2015 2x4 Level

    I used MaxTrac for my lift/level and put 37s on with no issues. Love their suspension lift. Went with the full 7" kit with Bils, which only lifts it by 4.5" after the level. Had to add a 1.5" coil spacer in the rear to keep it level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tuner

    Glad you got it sorted. My application is a little different, I suppose. I just wrote the canned Performance '93 tune into mine. Not really sure if it adjusted the tranny or not. I slapped 37" Terra Grapplers on her and swapped out the 3.21 diff with a 4.56. Threw everything off when I put...

    Tuner

    That sounds more like the MDS kicking in, not a transmission shift point. Tow/haul gets rid of it, or putting the tranny in manual shift mode, or obviously tuning the MDS out with a tuner. I hated that fluttery sputtery MDS. Tuned it out with a Superchips tuner. 2011 Ram 1500 Laramie CC 4x2...

    NERF step / Running board replacement questions

    My boards were creaking and rattling at me. I tightened them down as much as I could. Seemed to go away for a bit, but then returned. Today went to step on my driver side board and three of the rivnuts pulled through the panel. Removed the board. Looking at options. Probably going to try...

    Stupid question??

    If I'm understanding you correctly, are you saying the VIN sheet says you should have rear defrost? If that's the case, maybe somebody broke the rear window (or had the notorious cabin water leak) and replaced it with a cheaper one (without defrost). If you've had the truck since new, that's...

    37" Tire Spedo Recalibrate

    I went with a tuner and 4.56 gears on my '11 and am back to original mileage with speedo to within 1mph of GPS speed. I think, however, you'll need an unlocked engine controller to install the tune on a '14+. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. 2011 Ram 1500 Laramie CC 4x2 (SWB)

    37s and gears??

    Loving my 37s and 4.56 gears. Amazing difference on the highway. Rarely have to downshift and am back to getting normal mileage. Don't forget the tune for the new tire size and gears. 2011 Ram 1500 Laramie CCSB 4x2//5.7L Hemi @ 390hp/6ish Speed/4.56 Diff Gears//Maxtrac 4.5" Spindle + 2.5"...
