    Eibach Pro Lift Struts

    If you are talking about the fronts, with the Eibach shocks, I would go with at least the 4th clip setting if not the top/5th if I were you. I have the factory front bumper and when all was said and done (settled) I have a under 2" front lift at the 2nd clip ring setting, which back when I did...

    5.7L oil in the coolant

    Sorry for coming in late here... I know you have oil in your coolant, but do you have coolant in the oil/crankcase of the engine? Normally, your OIL dipstick will also have some "foam" on it in one place or another if you are getting coolant/water in the oil. If you have foam on the oil...

    Why are you guys still buying Ram "Classics"???

    First, I agree with you there... Second, they ALL are too expensive, but that has to do more with the Federal Reserve than FCA/Ford/GM price gouging...

    NEW QUARTER MILE RECORD

    Due to liability, most drag strips have a set of rules which mimic the NHRA ones I think, even during "test and tune" runs. Here are some of the ones from a track we frequent: BASIC SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Liquid Overflow Seat Belts Neutral Safety Switch Full Length Pants (No Shorts) Short or Long...

    NEW QUARTER MILE RECORD

    AWESOME MATT!!! That's really getting the bacon delivered! What have you done to the ass-end of that truck to get it to hook so well? What was the track-prep like? I'm not trying to discount your awesomeness with this story, but being at the track on the right day can have significant...

    ECU?

    Have a friend in my car club who bought a brand new 2017/2018 (I think?) F-150 that had the turbo'd V6 Ecoboost engine in it. After break-in, he had the ECU flashed for more performance, for use especially when he would haul is Cobra in the trailer. I think he did this himself with a remote...

    Turning off traction control

    John Jensen's got it figured out... I hear ya Mackio. These damn trucks just aren't any fun with the ESC on. Ram SHOULD have a switch to disable the ESC just like they have one for the traction control (or make that switch one in the same). Winter driving is just no fun if you can't drive down...

    Harmon Kardon vs Alpine?

    But, it's not just with the radio function alone that HD sounds better. Like when I was testing that truck with the non-HD & Alpine setup, we were using MP4's recorded on a cell phone to compare and it still sounded like poop... You need the HD radio as a base to start with, then upgrade the...

    Harmon Kardon vs Alpine?

    Honestly, I think the radio itself makes more difference than the name plate. In my 2013 I had the "standard" speaker configuration but with the "HD" radio (does HD=HK? I don't know but I don't think it does? Never saw an HK badge anywhere if it was). That system sounded awesome. When that...

    Eibach Pro Lift Struts

    Crazy Kid, I JUST finished mine complete Eibach Stage 1 install and got the front aligned yesterday... The rear shocks & springs got me 1-1/8" lift over the stock... I took tons of measurements and pics when I did mine and I planned on doing a complete write-up about it... Stay tuned for more...

    Trucks without OEM towing package

    You could be in-business with a Tekonsha Prodigy (P2 or P3), with the simple "plug & play" direct wire Ram harness for probably around $150. Find the empty lug under the dash, plug in the Prodigy harness, connect the ground wire, 2 screws to mount the controller, done. The controller has a plug...

    Why are you guys still buying Ram "Classics"???

    They actually look like a RAM, not a Chevy, not a Ford... I was actually at FCA HQ a few months ago and when I walked up to get into my 2016 Ram, I said to my son who was with me, "That flippin' Chevy pickup parked way to close to me for you to get in the truck easily". As we got closer to the...

    Eibach Pro Lift Struts and Spring on 34's ( pics inside)

    Yea Hodge, I almost fell out of my chair when they said $1400... I got the second strut pre-assembled last night, so both are ready to be installed now. If I'm lucky I'll get under the truck this weekend, but with the holiday and heading over to Michigan State on Saturday to see my daughter...

    Is there ANY "Fix" for these poor Ram Transfer Cases?

    So long as you stay rolling, the stock 4wd in the Ram will keep you moving. If you stop in a poor traction condition, there is some rear tire slippage required to get the fronts rotating under power again. The 4 wheel lockup is all done through the transfer case. Brandon's switch will do what...
