    Can I tow it - Safely?

    Send us a picture of your truck's door sticker so we can see your exact payload numbers based on your build. Based on what you've said so far, I'd say you don't have enough truck. Are you going to be doing many long trips with this trailer or just a couple short trips?

    8 speed transmission change kit

    I did not have to jack the transmission up. There are 2 bolts that are above your exhaust pipe though, assuming you have a HEMI, that can be annoying to get out without a small socket. Pretty sure the Dorman pan is the same size as the OEM

    8 speed transmission change kit

    I bought the Dorman pan replacement (265-850) w/ replaceable filter. Also got some Valvoline MaxLife ATF. Haven't had any issues. Just ordered a new filter and gasket (265-850F) for the pan actually. Going to do another fluid change once it gets a little bit warmer out.

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    My father's 2020 Longhorn had a eTorque failure a couple months ago. Started with the truck squealing on start up. did that for about a week, then he was driving home from work and the battery gauge dropped to zero while driving. He drove straight to the dealer and left it there. Took about a...

    HPTuner Ease of Use

    Any idea what the shops are called? Found 1 place on Google called Toronto ECU Tuning but based on their social media, it looks like they may be no longer in the business. Also, would this work: 1. Get scrapyard donor PCM unlocked locally 2. Take stock read of original PCM in truck with HPT 3...

    HPTuner Ease of Use

    Hello, I’m thinking about getting HPT for my 2017 Ram. Already bought a donor PCM a while back and it’s just sitting in my garage because I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger on getting the HPT setup. I was wondering how easy their software is to use with our trucks. As of right now, all I...

    Antifreeze Testing

    I did see this but when I look at the analog style refractometers, some of them mention “Not For Use with OAT Coolant”. I guess I’ll just have to trust the one I have lol. Thanks

    Antifreeze Testing

    Hello, I recently did a coolant flush on my truck and refilled with Mopar OAT 10 year coolant as suggested in the forum. I've been having a hard time trying to find out if my mixture is correct. At first I was using a bulb tester to check my mixture. After trying to correct it several times...

    How do I know if my 5.7 has MDS

    Your truck has MDS. Sometimes the indication (ECO) light gets disabled in the truck settings. Don't remember if its on the EVIC or the Uconnect system. EDIT: Unless previous owner deleted your MDS of course.

    2017 Sport CC Rear End Wobble

    This has been present from the last rotors and these rotors. I guess they still could be the culprit. I’m not sure what the acceptable runout is on one of these rotors. I used a dial caliper and measured 7 thou on the outer edge of the rotor on my rear driver side which is where it feels like...

    2017 Sport CC Rear End Wobble

    Replaced my upper and lower rear control arms today which did make the truck ride a bit tighter but did not get rid of the vibration. Then I backed the parking brakes all the way off to ensure they are not the cause. It seems to have gotten rid of the roughness at low speeds but I still have a...

    The dreaded vibration.

    Just ordered a set of FO upper and lower arms. We’ll see if that fixes my vibration
