    Trans/TC or something else?

    I took a few videos of the whining and howling noises. The howling seems to be louder coasting downhill. The whining happens when I'm pressing the throttle and its loudest at operating temp. It all makes the cab extremely noisy at just about every speed. I'll get a link to the videos uploaded...

    Trans/TC or something else?

    I'll get a video asap! I've hooked up my scanner a few times and pulled no codes, but it's not a cheap one. Have not looked at the live data lately so when I'm done with these shocks I'll get some readings. What are some things I need to look for? Thanks for replying

    Trans/TC or something else?

    Gonna get straight to it and I'll do my usual blabbing at the end... I've been having a few things going on lately, need some input before I start literally throwing parts at this thing. I'm also not totally sure if any of it is related but I believe most of it is. 2004 1500 5.7l 2wd 9.25" 3.55...

    Firestone Alignment specs suck?/Caster adjustment?

    2004 Ram 1500 2wd, stock suspension height, new shocks all the way around, 305/50r20 tires... Had this bad boy for years now and its always had a slight wandering problem but the steering has been pretty sloppy and spongey lately. Did the upper control arms, tie rod ends, and end links last...

    Diablosport P2 Platinum Tuner Vin Lock?

    I really appreciate the response. That makes sense, I'm just trying to make sure I don't sell this thing to someone who can't use it. Thanks!

    Diablosport P2 Platinum Tuner Vin Lock?

    Got home finally, plugged the tuner in to double triple check if my tune is "stock" and it's absolutely stock. Yet the "vin lock" section reads my vin number. Like I said, the update agent also says I'm stock. I'm very confused.

    Diablosport P2 Platinum Tuner Vin Lock?

    Hey everyone, I'm bringing this here cause I just can't seem to get a hold of Diablosport in the off time I have... So I bought a Predator P2 platinum for my 04 5.7l Ram a while back, immediately wound up with a botched Diablo tune. Guy on the phone said the P2 platinum tunes do not work for the...

    04 ram 1500 ST remote start?

    I didn't think about the doors needing to be locked to start it. Makes sense. Thanks

    04 ram 1500 ST remote start?

    2004 1500 Hemi base model; no power locks, windows, or anything. Is it possible to install a remote start system in this thing?

    Idling/coasting problem

    So I'm selling my 04 1500 and I've fixed most of the problems I've encountered, but I have one more thing I wanna try to fix. When the weather started getting real cold around the end of December and into January, when the truck warms up and I come to a stop, it idles below 500rpms. If I touch...

    Rear end whining

    I changed my tire size from I believe 30's to 32.5's around 8 months ago also. Would that have caused wear faster? It was whining before the change but not near as loud.

    Rear end whining

    So there's been a whining noise coming from my rear end that has gotten worse over the last year and as of today its loud enough to concern me. Could this be the pinion bearing in the rear diff? I've read these are a common issue. Truck is a 2004 1500 2wd with 3.55 rear. Thanks for any help.

    Need an intermediate steering shaft

    The lower u-joint on the steering shaft has a fair amount of play in it and it's got my steering real sloppy. Anyone know of a reputable place to get the lower intermediate steering shaft? I've seen a few online but I'm not sure who I can rely on.
