    4x4 issues from TIPM?

    2011 Ram 1500 5.7. Had the infamous turn and no start. Verified fuel relay was bad by bypassing the relay. Everything starts fine now.

    Lower Control Arms

    Replacing my lower control arms soon. In all of the videos I’ve seen of them being replaced the whole knuckle was removed.

    2012 1500 4x4 conversion (yes, again)

    Hello! I’m brand new here, as I recently purchased a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi from my father. It’s a beauty of a truck in my opinion, and the family ties are too strong to sell it anytime soon. The problem is, off-roading capabilities. It’s a 2wd and I often need 4wd as I’ve already gotten it...
