    5.7 engine timing correct ?

    While turning the crank put your finger over the spark plug hole and feel for escaping air. When the piston is at the top of its stroke that is top dead center on the compression stroke. If you can’t get your finger over the hole get a compression test kit and use only the tube. Everything...

    5.7 engine timing correct ?

    When you brought the #1 cylinder to the top was it on the compression stroke?

    It’s your fan clutch.

    Water fountain sounds in dash, very damp heat out of no where? in a 2015 Sport 1500

    Well? What’s the word?

    Water fountain sounds in dash, very damp heat out of no where? in a 2015 Sport 1500

    Possibly, but only if the fan were running. I may have missed that in your post.

    Check the AC drain hose for blockages. Spider have make nests in them and moistures will collect from the AC radiator which in time will build up and have water sloshing around; especially when rounding corners.

    Brake pads

    Wow, a weekend. Sounds like you had a directive set. I got 60k prior to moving to green stuff.

    Brake pads

    Again...there will be zero disappointment. I have EBC slotted and dimple rotors with yellow stuff pads. I replaced the yellow stuff pads after their service life with green stuff as I’m towing more now. I as well as many others are customers forever.

    Colored calipers

    Can’t go wrong with gloss black or color matched to your truck. Less is more.

    Brake pads

    Look at EBC Yellow and Green stuff pads.

    Light bar

    You’re correct, however when utilizing a relay the load is passed through it and not the switch.

    Slowly loosing my sanity...

    Sounds like a faulty evap canister valve/solenoid. My truck did this same thing when I topped off the tank with a fuel can and I over filled it. However it only acted up when going down hill and after hitting flat ground and consuming some fuel (1 gal) it has never had the issue since.

    First time hauling any substantial weight in my 04 1500

    The only part that holds the truck up (in the rear) are the springs. Look at replacing those and the bushings.

    Killed My Battery With Too Many Lights, Do I Need New Alt or Battery?

    Yep, I’m a bit lost on this. It appears to me the dead battery is a symptom of a poor performing charging system. Hence when the positive lead was disconnected the engine died.

    Killed My Battery With Too Many Lights, Do I Need New Alt or Battery?

    That would the alternator at fault. Just need a replacement now. FWIW-I’ve ran a combined total of 60+ amp of lights and ARB compressor for 12-15 min several times at idle in my 2008 ram and never had an issue, so I don’t feel it’s the devices you’re operating rather an unfortunate premature...

    Killed My Battery With Too Many Lights, Do I Need New Alt or Battery?

    Batteries are for starting and are not needed for much else. With that said it is possible (on rare occasions) to damage an alternator with heavy loads at idle. My guess is you damaged your alternator electronics which then no longer is charging your battery. Simple method for checking, start...

    A Hemi getting 24mpg?

    In my 2008 5.7 4x4 I was able to hit 85mpg going down hill and I’m sure if I had a tailwind I could have made 100mpg. [emoji1] it quickly went to 18mpg once I entered the city. In general day trips on open highways don’t mean squat and for those who say they get 24mpg based on a tank average...

    A Hemi getting 24mpg?

    I’ll continue to calculate it at the pump and ignore what the truck tells me. Besides I have no desire to go $25-30k into debt to gain 4mpg.

    Hemi MPG are like fish stories, they keep getting bigger and bigger. [emoji1]

    What fuel in the HEMI ram

    The difference in performance is noticed when RPM’s are high. The higher the octane the lower the ignition point which equates to more performance at higher RPM’s.

    Bed separating?

    Without question, that’s well within forming tolerances.

    180 degree T STAT

    This entire thread is entertaining.

    New here, question about brakes.

    Look at EBC rotors with yellow stuff pads and you will never regret it.

    Jack for lifted truck

    Have you tried your factory jack? 35” tires from the factory 33” accounts for only 1” of added clearance. Your lift has nothing to do with what size jack you need. Lol

    Help please... engine cuts off after about 45 minutes

    Clean the throttle body.
