    First attempt at NiteShades

    I followed the DIY posted by Demon-Hemi and used everything he did. It didnt come out terrible, I suppose it could be worse, but the job isn't as perfect as I hoped it would be (I'm a bit of a perfectionist). I sanded at the end for like 15 mins to get rid of the orange peel, but didnt want to...

    Squeaky belt

    I've got a squeaky noise up front and I imagine that it's the belt, or something associated with it. Any idea how to stop the squeak, and what even causes it to squeak? Thanks, -Zak

    How are the 2009 RAMs?

    I've been thinking of stopping the mods on my 3rd Gen and saving up for a 2009, because it has the 4th Gen look and will probably be the cheapest. After my summer job Ill have a nice chunk of change, in addition to trading in my 3rd Gen to upgrade, I think I would be on a nice path. The...

    What is this?...

    Taking off my CAI and accidently snapped this tube thing trying to move it out of the way. Didnt realize it was that fragile... When it snapped I heard a release of pressure somewhere, so I'm just guessing it has something to do with the HVAC? -_- I electrical taped it just for now... Could...

    Just a little extra lift

    I have a 2002 4.7 2wd with a 3 inch RC suspension lift with 33's. 33's are decently new too so I won't be able to buy any 35's+ anytime soon. I want to add more height because I like trucks that look like they're sitting on top of their tires if that makes sense, and 3 inches really isnt that...
