    2014 ram 1500 5.7 hemi whistle/high pitched grinding sound, when cold whole underload

    Re-torqued the intake manifold bolts and they are torqued to spec...... If it was the cam/lifter, it will make ticking noise regardless of engine temperature, correct? Also, it will tick even when the engine is not under load, basically, when transmission is in park while rev up the engine. It...

    2014 ram 1500 5.7 hemi whistle/high pitched grinding sound, when cold whole underload

    2014 ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi, 254000 kms. I have been hearing high pitched whistle (griding?) sound when the truck was cold, underload, just before gear shift at around 2500 to 3000 rpm when I started driving in the morning for the last two months. The noise will go away after truck warms up to...

    2014 Ram 1500 laramie towing mirror puddle light question.

    Update....I installed the puddle lights. Both of them worked. Disconnected the negative battery terminal for 20 minutes and reconnect it. The puddle light stopped working. Very very strange....indeed.

    2014 Ram 1500 laramie towing mirror puddle light question.

    Problem solved. Let's just say it is a short between keyboard and the chair. The towing mirror being aftermarket, it does not have the the factory plug in. I had to cut off the connectors and splice in the wires. After reading LeeD's comment, I decided to double check my splices, and found I...

    2014 Ram 1500 laramie towing mirror puddle light question.

    Yes. Tried back and forth few times. Another strange thing is the truck connection gives 12v without LED connected, but only gives about 2.4v when I have the LED connected and unlock the door with key fob......

    2014 Ram 1500 laramie towing mirror puddle light question.

    Hello all, I got some issues with the puddle lights on my 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie.

I received left rear turn signal...

    Show me your behind the back seat mod

    I was bored another day and the weather is nice.......so I walked into a bar........and robbed a lollipop from a 5 years old girl down the street and set fire on an orphanage. Just kidding. I decided to do a fold down back seat mod on my 2014 ram1500 crew cab instead. All went well. Now I have...

    Efan conversion for cold climate

    The original post was trying to find the pros and cons of V6 Efan conversion on V8 hemi for my particular climate (extrem cold in winter and mild summer) and application (heavy towing up and down mountains in summer). It seems the saving on torque and MPG does not really justify the conversion...

    Efan conversion for cold climate

    My understanding is that Efan conversion without low temperature thermostat, and tuner will give better throttle response and will work in most normal driving conditions. Stock V8 fans will work better when do heavy towing....unless if I invest in a tuner and low temperature thermostat. If my...

    Efan conversion for cold climate

    It appears the shape of stock shroud on V8 is better at directing air flow toward the engine than shroud of V6 Efan, so it make sense that it can cool the engine as well as V6 Efan, even being a little smaller than V6 Efan. On that note, anyone tried the combination of V6 Efan itself with V8...
