Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise
Definitely not lifting the new one, if anything I’ll be doing a leveling kit just for a little more clearance on the front especially since I bought a 2wd Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- blairwilder97

Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise
Wanted to give an update on this for any future thought. So i sold the truck and bought a brand new 2020 ram sport Laramie. But i knew the driveshaft thing would be an issue. I bought a used driveshaft from the scrap yard, put it in, and all of the sudden the noises were gone. My assumption is...- blairwilder97

Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise
Spoke with a drive shaft company here in Houston and they made a good point. If the driveshaft is out, it means the gears aren’t moving in the transfer case but when it’s back in, the gears have something to move them when free spinning. So I’m just gonna take it back out and make sure to put it...- blairwilder97

Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise
I have a 2011 ram 1500 with a 6 inch lift. 3 years ago, I kept hearing this grinding noise while driving and it would get louder if I was driving along a wall or barrier on the highway. A shop I took it to said it could be the front driveshaft, so they removed it and I never heard the noise...- blairwilder97

2011 Ram 1500 transmission
It goes to the high rpms even when i get close to home and I’ve been driving for a good 15-20 minutes. I’ll have to pay attention again next time I’m driving. Battery is pretty new as well, it’s probably just at a year old! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- blairwilder97

2011 Ram 1500 transmission
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed my ram getting up to high rpms, for example like 3000-3200, stays at the rpm for awhile without shifting. Sometimes it will shift, sometimes I have to let off the gas and give it gas again for it to shift. Truck has 134k miles on it! Also, the other...- blairwilder97

Pro Comp Prorunner Struts & Shocks
Thought I would post a updated photo of my truck with the new parts! Love the pro runner shocks as they ride smooth and they gave my front end the 2 inch face lift and changed the whole look of my truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- blairwilder97

Pro Comp Prorunner Struts & Shocks
Yeah that’s a big reason why I want to do it is for the full 6” lift up front, but also I found out awhile back my front driver strut is leaking and you can hear the squeaking noise when driving the highways on the bumpy roads. Hopefully I’m gonna get it done within the next couple of weeks...- blairwilder97

Pro Comp Prorunner Struts & Shocks
I’m about to order new struts and shocks for my 2011 Ram 1500 and a buddy of mine recommended the new pro comp prorunner shocks/struts. My truck had a 6 inch pro comp lift and he said these new parts will bring up the front end 2 Inches to get the truck leveled finally. Anyone have any...- blairwilder97

2011 Ram 1500 transmission rebuild
Been noticing my truck shifting really hard and down shifting hard as well. It’s got right at 131k miles and I bought it when it had 66k so i have no idea what has been done to the transmission before me. Is this something that could just be serviced or is it possible that I may need a...- blairwilder97

Automatic tow mirrors with auto fold!!
My 2011 Ram has the chrome mirrors on it and I’ve considered upgrading to the chrome tow mirrors. Does the auto fold work on my year model truck or is there an adapter that allows them to work?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- blairwilder97

anyone got a fix for the dreded running board coming off?
This is where mine broke at. Buddy of mine said he’s fixed multiple of them at a truck shop he use to work at. They would just hammer it flat and weld a big washer around it to help support it again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- blairwilder97
