    Big time cab noise. Sounds like I'm runnin' 40s...but I'm not..

    I'm getting a loud, "humming" noise from my truck. It started a couple of months ago, but I didn't really give it much thought. As I keep driving, the louder it gets. Sounds like I'm running 40" Swampers. It doesn't really change with RPM, but it does change with the speed of the truck. The...

    Transmission has started to...whistle?

    I noticed it last night for the first time. Sounds like a whistle, but I'm fairly sure its a high pitched whine. Noticed being more prevalent in low gear in the lower RPM range. What makes me worry is that I've recently installed a SC 93 octane tune. The shifts are more firm and it shifts...

    2006 Dodge Ram 1500 shock absorbers

    Alright, so I have an 06 1500 2wd. I've read conflicting details on the front suspension. Some say the shock is able to replaced as a single unit, others say its a strut assembly and the whole damn thing will have to be replaced. My Haynes manual talks like its able to replaced alone...

    Truck went to the shop today, here's what I found out. Suggestions are needed.

    Lately, I've heard some "popping" coming from the front end of my truck. Pretty irregular at first, but is becoming more frequent. I pretty well figured it was the ball joints, but since I needed an oil change anyways, I thought I'd let my mechanic check it out. Based off of a visual...

    Diablosport Trinity/Superchips Flashpaq comparisons?

    I know this is a topic that that has been beat down deep in the dirt, but I completely failed in find a topic comparing the Trinity to the Flashpaq. I don't really know a lot about tuners, but I know I want one that will shutdown MDS. I friggin' HATE it. I've read that Superchips is tried...

    Oh FFS...Reckon a bearing/hub change is up for this weekend...

    Got myself a pesky little squeak coming from the left-front wheel. I'm fairly certain it's the bearings, as I've got a little bit of play in the wheel. Maybe a 1/4" either way. Originally, it was supposed to be a spark plug weekend, but I guess that's off. Called up the stealership for a...

    2006 1500, HEMI Stall...

    '06 1500, 5.7L 4x2, auto. My truck has stalled on three separate occasions, at random. Once several months ago, while in reverse. The second time, start then immediately stalled. And the third, just tonight...Start as usual, felt a slight miss in the engine, and died at the first stop...

    Guys, girls...I'd like your opinions.

    Alright, I'm looking for some new rims. I have a Metallic Silver Ram, 2WD. Personally, I like the look of off-road rims, but I worry that they would look silly with street tires. I'm hesitant about adding A/T tires because I'm just not a fan of the "roar". However, many of the "street"...

    The light works just fine, but it just don't blink. The blinker indicator in the interior works as normal. I've checked my KaleCo blinker fluid and all is fine there.;) What gives?:wtf:

    Throttle Body: Dirty Stock to 85mm (pics)

    Ordered myself some parts from Moe's on Monday. The throttle body arrived on Wednesday and the rest on Thursday. Awesome shipping speed. Anyway, I decided to brave the wind and light rain today to swap out the throttle body. Went to my parents house to use my dad's shop to atleast shield...

    Gathering parts for a header install.

    Alright guys, I've got the mod bug pretty bad. I'm really wanting a set of headers on my truck. So far, I've got the following on my list: -Pacesetter Longtube headers (Figure I'll spend the extra cash on ceramic coating) -Mopar gaskets -Stage 8 Locking bolts -Magnaflow Y-pipe Now on...

    ECO light? What is an ECO and why is it always on?

    On my overhead display, where it gives the average MPG, there's an light that displays the word 'ECO'. It's been on since I bought this truck a few months back. I did some searching here and on other Ram forums and never found a definitive answer. Some say it's on when MDS is engaged...

    Ported TB worth the money?

    I'm planning on pulling my TB off and cleaning it just as soon as I get some decent weather to work with. I got to thinking though...would a ported TB be worth the money? I don't really plan on doing any internal engine mods, mostly bolt-ons. I'm thinking some LT headers, a tune, CAI, and...

    Good product to remove tree sap?

    I have a real problem with tree sap, specifically pine sap. This stuff is beyond obnoxious. I would have to park down the street to avoid the trees. I've used some typical bug/tar remover, but it had little effect. Any good products to safely remove tree sap?

    Anyone ever bought these "Ebay" headlights?

    I'm shopping around for some halo lights and actually having a hard time finding something that isn't black. Personally, I don't like the contrast of black headlights with a light colored truck. 06 08 Dodge RAM 1500 2500 LED Halo Projector Headlights Chrome | eBay What do you guys...

    What the Hell is this noise??

    It's a noise that's very hard to describe. It sounds like...static. Difficult to make an accurate description. So far, I've only heard it while MDS is engaged and in the throttle a very SMALL amount at highway speeds. Slightly more than what's required to maintain speed. It only happens on...

    A question about MDS

    I've searched the forums but didn't find anything really useful. I'm totally HEMI and MDS illiterate, so bear with me guys. This may be a complete dumbass question, but I'm curious. At what speeds/RPM range is it supposed to engage? I ask this because, I've noticed that my exhaust tends to...

    New RAM on the block.

    Thought I would take the time to introduce myself. I recently traded in my '97 Ram for an '06 Ram, and I couldn't be happier with that choice. I love it. 2006 Ram 1500 HEMI 5.7L 4x2 I look forward to learning more about these trucks, the HEMI, and mods.
