    Mystery Switch (pics)

    One thing that springs to mind with a switch like that would be a winch, if the truck has a front receiver chances are he had a removable winch.

    $700 paint job advice

    Two biggest questions that come to my mind would be; 1. Product that he is using, make sure its a quality brand. 2. How much trim / Accessories is he pulling off? Is he pulling the headlights, grill etc off or just taping around them? Also is he removing the bed to get behind the cab? Make...

    What exactly is shuttle shifting?

    Only definition of shuttle shifting I know is on tractors & some forklifts. It usual refers to a knob/level that can switch the tractor from forwards to neutral to reverse without using the clutch. usually loader and utility tractors have it. Can't say I have heard the term in reference to trucks.

    DIY: Tranny Line Pressure Booster

    No, His TCM tune will do the same as having this mod done. You can double check with him but the LP is boosted in his TCM tune.

    180 t-stat install

    180 t-stat in mine. I've only noticed the lack of heat in the cab when outside temps push past -20C (-5f). My slow to warm code is blocked in my tune.

    Fifth Wheel Camper Question

    In my opinion if your towing just now and then your truck would be fine. Only thing you would want to look at is maybe getting a set of air bags to help with the load. At work we have a 2005 of the same specs and when we load it with our equipment on off days (12500lbs) it tow's just fine...

    Blacked out ram

    Seems like a logical decision to start making them. Dealerships around me all seem to now have in house made blackout and lifted 2500's on their lots.

    Thermostat now or later???

    I have a 175 T-stat and ran it this winter with the super cold conditons. No effect on the running of the truck, just forget about getting a nice heat in the cab lol. I found once it got below -15C (actual) getting the cab hot was near impossible.

    Newb Ram Owner... Where should I Start?

    I'd recommend for a tuner going with the diablosport trinity and getting a custom tune done by a CMR; Hemifever(Sean) being my choice. I went with that route so if i decide to do a cam or bigger mods later on I have to ability to tune for it right away and I feel that Hemifever's tune is doing...

    engine brake

    I know 09's had the option of a factory exhaust brake not exactly sure when they started offering it. All of my fleet trucks at work; all various 5.9L Cummins, have had a jacobs brake installed by the dealer on purchase and they all work great.

    20" wheels.

    Pretty much yes. The OEM Chrome 20's are Chrome Clad which is the stock 5 spoke steel rim underneath a non removable chrome "Hubcap". Manufacturers use them because, they are much easier to make than Chromed aluminum wheels, and on the end user stand point require less maintenance and will...

    Good deal? 05 Hemi 4x4 quad 20"wheels

    Agreed about asking whats hes been towing with it. Having a pintle hitch on the back and saying he is a roofer he may of been hauling a trailer full of gear and shingles everyday with it.

    Yep, 4.56 made for a 9.25" rear end will work.

    Skyjacker Hyrdo 7000's on stock height

    Problem with using lifted spec shocks on stock height is that even if they fit the shock will be near full compression already, so when you hit a bump it will be very stiff and most likely wear out and push the rod through the top. As far as 5100's go, I have used them on a truck and they...

    LEDs staying dimly lit

    Confirmed You Need a resistor. Unlike the regular lightbulbs LEDs have almost no natural resistance so even the smallest amount of power will light them up. They are going off after around a minute because our trucks kill power to almost everything once they sit for a bit.
