    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    The only Ram I've ever bought was a Dodge Ram. My '01 5.2L SLT Laramie WS (regular cab) 2WD long box leather power seats overhead console sits in my garage half the year. 44k miles on it now. Factory ordered, paid cash. No krazy GD electronic garbage. No beeping when I don't put on my...

    Plenum Gasket: What is it, where is it and what should I do about it? *INFO*

    Is this manifold plate still available from Ebay? A Canadian vendor on Ebay? Bonus question: What is the best gasket to use (which is regardless if I'm re-using the original steel pan or aftermarket aluminum pan - that shouldn't matter right) ? The Felpro is supposed to be the best I read...

    2001 Ram - can someone explain when or why the A/C compressor is engaged?

    Rear differential oil for 2WD limited slip 2001 Ram?

    I have what I'm pretty sure is limited slip option (I ordered this truck new back in 2001 and it's supposed to have it). The rear cover has 12 bolts if that is any indication. The truck has 62k miles on it, and hasn't had the rear oil changed. So I'm thinking about doing it. Assuming it is...

    Differential oil (and modifier?) for 01 Ram 2wd

    I'm pretty sure my 01 Ram has limited slip (it was ordered with LSD when I bought it) and the rear tires do tend to chirp when turning corners, so assuming that it is LSD - the oil has never been changed and I've not checked the level ever. The truck has about 40k miles on it. 2-WD, automatic...
