    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Cruise control with a mind of its own. Like my kids, it does like I tell it one day, but not the next. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    How did you find RamForum.com?

    Googled while looking for people's experiences with 3rd gen 1500s. I have vast knowledge and experience with the modern HEMI, but needed some education on the truck chassis itself. Was an easy choice to join too, especially knowing that any of the "Z" forums are where mostly toddlers hang out...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    My 06 1500 has 166,000 on its original pump. Had a radiator go a ways back, but still on the same pump. I am just now developing a drip from the pump itself. This will be the first Hemi water pump failure I've had in 4 of them totalling over 600,000 miles. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    Best single sub box set up

    Nice pick, the Fox Box does a pretty good job making any sub sound good. Kind of like how a Bose sub makes a $3 paper speaker from Indonesia sound good. Send us pics as you go, I often wonder what it would be like had I gone that route. Granted I love my FG box, it just ain't a work horse. Sent...

    Best single sub box set up

    Our air space sucks under the rear seats. I run the Kicker DXA500.1 with a pair of 10" Comp R 2ohm DVC wired at 2 ohm load. It took some adjustments with poly fill in the box, it's only about 1.5 c.f. total, but it eventually put out a good clean hard beat. It's no big 12" beat, it's not the...

    Mileage on your 3rd Gen.?

    06 1500 5.7, 166,000 miles and climbing. Sounds like a sewing machine at startup, but oh well... still drags my trailers just fine. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    Best single sub box set up

    I'm running a fiberglass custom enclosure in my 1500 quad cab. It wasn't overly pricy to have done considering I did the rest of the install. Paid around $350 for the box. With 2 Kicker Comp 10s and a 500.1 Class D Kicker amp, it sounds great with rock music. I run the subs in 180deg phase due...

    My buddies Carli track bar just broke at that same location. Only about a year old and mostly highway miles too. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    That's just some ******* shit right there. People have such little respect. I believe in an eye got an eye, or a black eye and an ass whoopin for a light bar at least. Glad they didn't get it though. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Everything except an OEM housing. Or so it seems. All these aftermarket guys out there and you never really know what quality they are until too late. Like my passenger light, both the same company, both failed in a week, something in QC isn't up to snuff. I like the white parking lights, I'm...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Which brand you go with? I liked your set with the white instead of amber, I wanted some for mine. Instead I went with the amber and black housing, which leaked on the passenger side, twice. Tried to reseal it the second time myself, no go. Can't remember the manufacturer, but they sure did piss...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Hemis are notorious for head tick. My 5.7, 6.1, 392 stroker, they've all done it. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I meant that figuratively. Its the largest complaint of 3rd gen owners. Well, the blend box failing anyway. Suppose there's a few husbands with soft feet out there crying about it too. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Third gen, hate the piece of shit, always breaking, freeze your wife's toes off, blend box in the dash. That is all though. Sent from my ASUS_A002A using Tapatalk

    4x4 Wobble

    So, I didn't realize the 1500 standard duty did not have U-Joints on both ends. Instead its a serviceable high speed bushing on one end with joints at the other. That explains a lot. Time to rebuild that shaft. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    4x4 Wobble

    Thats a great question. I bought the truck used as a mechanic "special" more like nightmare. I've cleared most hurdles so far but that is one thing still on my list of to do repairs. Knowing the previous owner, probably never. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    4x4 Wobble

    They were just done, its only present in 4WD. It's more vibration through chassis than steering wheel too. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    4x4 Wobble

    Yes, I currently have blocks, but I am changing to the Bilstien 5100s in lieu. From everything Ive read, the extra expense is worth it. One would think that a brand new, not reman, CV wouldn't experience the wobble when engaged right away. It should theoretically take a little wear first. But...

    4x4 Wobble

    My 2006 1500 quad cab has a wobble when engaged in 4WD. Symptoms are near identical to a bad CV, only feels more impacting to the entire front end with the wobble. As in chassis shimmy. I've replaced the CVs, hubs, and upper control arms both sides. I also rebuilt output passenger side of front...

    Black rhino rims anyone??

    Thanks, I liked the look. Especially considering cost. They were lighter than the American Racing set I took off. They accepted my spline drive lugs just fine as well. Again, RVM had to drill and sleeve the wheel for my Chevy. Part of why they are less expensive is because they buy blanks and...

    Black rhino rims anyone??

    I had a set on my 2001 Silverado. Good wheel. The crew at RVM (Big wheels NYC) are good guys. I've bought 5 sets from them. They had to drill and press the set to fit my Chebby. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    OE Bumper Mount Inquiry

    Never mind. That only adjusted mount height, not angle. Turns out my plates on the bumper are bent... a lil sledge hammer tlc helped some, but it's obvious I need new ones. Sent from my SM-G930V using Scat Pack Forums mobile app

    OE Bumper Mount Inquiry

    Here it is... probably the dumbest question, but I'm hoping someone has the answer. My OE bumper on my 2006 Ram 1500 SLT was bent, a friend of mine has several 3rd Gen leftovers from his fleet trucks. I snagged a couple from him. One is chrome and just like my OE, the other is the painted...
