    Engine stall while driving 04 Ram Hemi

    I had the same problem. I replaced multiple parts just to find out it was the EGR. Replaced that and all is fine.

    antifreeze smell

    I have had the same antifreeze smell and some grit on top of my antifreeze overflow reservoir. From what I have read or can find it is normal for you to have a slight antifreeze smell due to the steam let out of the overflow tube. This also creates the sand like particles on the overflow...

    Best AT tires for everyday use and snow?

    I've been using BF Goodrich AT KO 2 for a long time. (size 285R70/17) I only have to replace them every 8 years due to wear. My wife and I think they are a very safe snow tire and take peace of mind knowing how well they have done for us in the snow. They are pricey, but I will continue to get...

    Long tubes headers or shorties

    I put a set of Pacesetter ceramic coated long tubes on my '04 1500 over 10 years ago. Shorties weren't even a consideration. I've been searching for a replacement set, but can't seem to find a set of long tubes in ceramic coat. Plain black paint everywhere I look though.

    Conflicting OEM Spark Plug Gap Specs

    I looked up the plugs and gap in my Daimler/Chrysler Corp. 2 book dealership 2004 DR Ram Truck 1500-2500-3500 Service Manual. What I have listed for a 5.7l Hemi is Spark Plugs: Champion - RE14MCC4. Electrode gap is: .045 in. Hope this helps.

    5.7 internals meet outside world

    I went with MSD Blaster Coil Packs, NGK Irridium plugs, and Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2mm spark plug wires in my '04 5.7l Hemi about 10 years ago. I pulled the plugs last month and they look like I put them in last year. Might be an option you would consider.

    Inherited my Fathers truck, want to swap a Hellcat motor to honor him.

    Another possible cause of fuel mpg decreasing at 170k could be that the fuel injectors may be a bit clogged, but not gone and can be cleaned. That and spark plugs are the cheapest way to get back mpg.

    Headers to replace headers.

    Yes I have CAT's. Unfortunatly I live in PA where you have to have emission testing. Also Pacesetter says that the black paint is only for manufacturing and trasportation not for high temp ratings and will burn off relatively fast.

    Headers to replace headers.

    Yes, I have one, but was worried about debris getting in where it doesn't belong. Are there liquid solvents that would evaporate so the paint comes off the outside and whatever liquid goes inside evaporates?

    Headers to replace headers.

    So, anywhere that has sold the PaceSetter Long Tube Headers 72C2211 are out of stock. I went on Pacesetter's website and the item # does not exhist. My best guess is that they stopped making them. Now they and all the sellers I have looked at do still have the black painted version. My new...

    Exhaust opinions

    I ran dual 3" off my Pacesetter long tube headers. I have them exiting to the sides of the truck bed just behind the rear wheels. I have 2 Flowmaster 40's and it sounds pretty damn good.
