    Air Bag Kit or Helper Springs?

    The rear of my 04’ Ram 1500 sags quite bit when I hook up my 19ft travel trailer to the hitch….even with the load distribution bars being fully torqued down. I think some of the problem might be that my truck has been “leveled”, so the front sits a little higher than a stock truck…..witch...

    Are the 9.25 rear differentials in the Ram 1500's really that weak??

    I have around 144,000 miles on my 2004 Hemi Ram 1500 Quad Cab. My family and I decided to take a road trip with our 20ft camper from Springfield Missouri to Pensacola Florida for a week....about 1600 miles round trip. The trip was going great, until the rear-end started making some...

    Rear pinion bearing went out....speedo doesn't work now??

    I had the pinion bearing go out on the rear end of my Ram 1500 while on a road trip. I had to limp it home, and the rearend got really hot.....so hot that you couldn't touch it. Also, while limping it home the speedo went out and the ABS and CEL lights came on. I'm assuming that the heat...

    How do I get rid of the annoying exhaust drone with new Magnaflow??

    I had a pretty loud exhaust on my 04' Hemi Ram.....a 2-chambered Flowmaster dumped right in front of the rear axle. It wasn't really that loud when driving around town not pulling anything, pretty quiet as long as you were not on the gas.....but I got tired of how loud it was when pulling a...

    Looking for a quiet "performance" muffler....ideas?

    I currently have a single 2-chambered Flowmaster (3" in/out) dumped under the bed right in front of the axle. For driving around town, and even on the highway it sounds awesome......nice deep idle, pretty quiet when cruising on the highway, and really screams when you mash the pedal. I tow a...

    Opinions on different tuners for 3rd Gen Rams?

    I currently have a SC Flashpaq 3815 tuner for my 2004 QC Hemi Ram. I'm thinking about trying something else that will give me more tuning options, specifically more transmission tuning options. I saw that SC has their new 3845 F5 tuner out.....but they don't list many details about it...

    A better transmission tune for towing???

    I currently have a superchips flashpaq 3815 tuner for my 04’ Dodge Hemi Ram QC. I just leave it on the “87 towing” tune most of the time. I like how it shifts (a little firmer, and it hold the gears longer) when I’m just driving around town…….but when I’m pulling any kind of heavy loads (20ft...

    Extended towing with 04’ Hemi Ram 1500 QC….any issues?

    I’ve got an 04’ Hemi Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with around 130,000 miles on it. Mechanically it’s in great shape…no issues at all. I’ve recently picked up a 19ft camper trailer that weights around 4,000lbs….and the family and I are planning on doing lots of road trips, most around 12-16+ hours...

    Looking for more power for towing...what mods?

    My 04' Ram QC Hemi has been a great truck over the years, but I'm starting to use it for towing alot more than I used to (5,000lb boat, 4,000lb camper), and I would like to get some more midrange power/torque out of it. I've got the standard bolt-on stuff....CAI, SC Tuner, free-flowing...

    How to repair 3rd Gen Ram rear fender rust...*PICS*

    Like lots of others with 3rd gen Rams.....I started getting rust on the top of the rear wheel well area on my fenders. I figured that if I just let it go, it was going to turn into a mess. I went ahead and ordered a set of wheel well arch repair panels off of ebay for around $80, and went to...

    Having hard time finding good info on front shocks for 2" lift

    I've got an 04' Ram 1500 QC, and I'm wanting to crank up the front bars a little to level out the front end...probably a 1.5"-2.0" lift. Because of the extra lift, if I keep the stock front shocks....they are going to be extending to the stops all the time, and that's not good. I've...
