    Buying mopar lifters on eBay?

    The part number on the actual lifter doesn’t match the box? Also I don’t remember my lifters having a lasered number on them. I just checked some pics of the lifters that came out of my truck, no numbers… but they would be old variant.

    Buying mopar lifters on eBay?

    Edit* $598 was the lowest I could find when I did mine. The lifters I got from a known dealer came in a box like this If you find a dealer on eBay, you can google them and then order through their parts department directly.

    Which tire?

    You kind of have conflicting needs with mud and snow. Whichever of these you expect to drive in more is where I would priorities MT vs AT. I would take KO2's off your list since you mentioned a lot of mud. Also I would remove Michelin Defender and any of the lesser aggressive AT's since you...

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    oh how do I wish I had gone non MDs but $ didn’t allow at the time. But after studying the oil passageways I definitely don’t defeat it. (we talked about this in my other thread. Pics included) I part that sounder salesy to me was Saying that the solution is to buy the MMX delete kit. Also...

    Buying mopar lifters on eBay?

    I bought my lifters and cam on eBay from separate buyers. They were both from mopar dealers so I was ok with it. Been singing along for 20k no issues so far.

    My gas mileage is gone, what happened?

    Most likely the tires.. what were your prior tires? (HT, less aggressive AT’s?) Edit* also that pic was taken at 20mph… you’ll never see good instantaneous mileage at city speeds.

    1500 Rear Stepping right over speed bumps

    I have the P rated ones. If they were LT's it wouldn't be a thought. I got these wheels and tires looking for ultimate lightweight while still being AT - 70lbs mounted weight per corner; not going to get much lighter than that for 17's on 33 AT's I very rarely tow or haul anymore so I deal with...

    1500 Rear Stepping right over speed bumps

    Last sentence, alignment was done within the last 5k thrust angle was 0.13°, in spec. I don’t have a drop bracket for the panhardbar, I lengthened it fractionally when the rear spacers were put in to keep the axle centered. It's ~1° increase in the angle of the bar, away from the already...

    1500 Rear Stepping right over speed bumps

    Hi guys, My truck used to step out to the right going over bumps at higher speeds (40/50mph), rebuilt the suspension at ~ 100k planning to keep the truck for another 100k+ and it went away… now it’s doing it again over speed bumps at 10-15mph. Front is fine, rear noticeably steps right. Entire...

    Talk me out of a TRX!

    I can think of 120,000+ reasons not to buy a TRX. IMO, the only trucks that should cost that much are semis. If I want fast, buy something that doesn’t weigh 3 tons. If I want a truck, buy something that functions as a truck. If I want both, I'd buy two vehicles and still be out $60k less than...
