    8 spd tranny

    I just picked my new to me truck, 2020 Ram 1500 4x4 cc Hemi with the 8 speed. The transmission rolls through the gears like nothing..... if didn't watch the tach or have loud exhaust you'd almost swear it doesn't shift. It has 55 000 miles on it, one thing thing I did notice about it vs my old...

    2004 ram

    I had the same thing happen the other day on way home from work, it acted like a misfire wouldn't rev past 4000 rpm. I pulled over shut the engine off. Waited a few moments and fired it back up. Drove home no issues. The next morning I had a misfire code on ignition coil D. I cleared the code...

    Does the 5.7 Hemi burn oil?

    I use Castrol GTX 5w30 with 6 oz Lucas oil stabilizer in my 3rd gen Hemi, I installed a catch can.... why... not sure, but anything fast has catch can lol..... I did notice that during the warmer months there would be hardly anything in it. Colder months about a half inch of liquid, that...

    6.4 HEMI - Aftermarket Muffler for Old Man

    If you want mid rumble, Flowmaster 40 series, 40 series Delta flow or Supper 44 is the way to go. A 50 series might be up your alley too. Personally I've had the 40 and Super 44, wasn't loud enough for me. So I run a Flowmaster Super 10 series. Not for those who try to sneak around undetected...

    Spark Plug Change DIY

    I always do the driver's side first, get the hard side done first and then finishing up with the passenger's side makes the beers taste better after lol.... I run platinum plugs in my Hemi, also have a tune and run 93 octane. No issues and been doing it for ten years with over 200,000 miles on...

    My Carven is too loud.

    I have a Flowmaster 10 series muffler on my Ram 1500, no resonators with stock manifolds. It's reasonable at an idle, loud as hell on start up no matter what temperature. Driving at 50mph roughly around 1400- 1500 rpm its not bad, pass a vehicle and everyone in a two mile radius knows you're...

    Pondering spark plug change

    Wow, that's crazy..... I do my own on my 5.7 and I think it costs me just a hundred bucks for the plugs? What plugs do you run in your Hemi?

    Led dash lights

    Thanks for the info, I found the climate control bulbs on Amazon. Sadly they don't work so I put the factory bulbs back in. The dash lights haven't showed up yet, so no go with that deal.

    Least Favorite/Most Favorite Mod

    My least favorite mod, I would have to agree the fender flares that stick out a country mile. While the wheel are tucked way inside the factory wheel wells. One of my favorite mods is a great sounding exhaust system along with a CAI paired together at WOT

    Led dash lights

    Has anyone found led dash lights for their third gen Ram? I've look online and bought from Amazon and they were the wrong ones. I even tried to cross reference the Mopar part number and it gives me the lights I received but are way too small for the sockets they fit into. If anyone has led...

    Ticking in the engine...

    I seem to have a lot of luck with Castrol GTX 5w30 with 6oz Lucas oil stabilizer. Seems to have worked for the last 10 years and 200,000 miles on my 04 Ram with a Hemi.

    Reworking the hemis exhaust system

    What's your application with your truck? One way to run true dual and equal length exhaust on it is to remove the mid ship fuel tank, lots of money involved.... reroute fuel lines and find aftermarket tank to go in place of spare tire or a bed mounted fuel cell, still expensive. Or you can do...

    2016 1500 Can I tow this trailer to my land ?

    No question about pulling, you can pull anything until you either break traction and spin out or just don't have the groceries to pull it. Stopping on other hand maybe a litlle sketchy, hopefully the brakes work on the trailer? Yes of course not to mention you're towing a 35' wind sail...

    What dont you like about your gen 3

    So tired of these sway bar end links...... I've done mine twice in ten years, and now I hear the tell tale thumping in the front end again. Fuel pump replacement sucks, it was bad enough doing it the first time...... on the sending unit is starting to fail on fuel pump. Should of did better...
