Thanks, Ya I was kind of adding it up and it's likely more than I'll be looking to spend. Sure enough sounds like I have a broken manifold/bolt. Just started ticking when it's cold then goes away.
Will headers help solve the manifold issue? Longtubes the way to go I assume, and how hard to fit...
Just upgraded from a 2003 ram 5.7 to a 2015 with 8 speed.
Probably not in the budget for a bit, but thought about a tuner and maybe some of the typical bolt ons for a bit of extra kick.
What do I need for a tuner? I was looking on Moe's and I need a unlocked pcm?
How bad is the factory exhaust...
Wow that's amazing. Im at 255,000 miles on a 03 hemi. I also do daily italian tune ups! and the engine just keeps going.
problem here is rust, I keep it well oil sprayed but eventually the rust still wins.
shocks have been on this truck for the 70,000 miles i've had it and who knows how long before that.. I'm thinking new shocks are due.
Anyone have recommendations? Rancho 5000 or 9000?
Or I found Monroe load adjusting shocks with spring coil overs.. Would these actually help much to stiffen up...
So haven't had any replies on my previous post about having trans issues.. Just wondering if I do swap to a used transmission, What years 545rfe will work in my 2003? is there different wiring on the newer ones? Should I just look for a 03 trans?
Thanks

So yesterday my truck was jerking a bit when it was downshifting into passing gear, I was going around 50-55 mph. The later it didn't shift above 3rd gear. I was running 55 mph and I was turning around 24-2500 rpm on 17 inch wheels and 3.92 gears. usually runs around...
I know doing the full rocker would be the best and proper way. But realistically If I can get 3 more years out of this truck I'd be pretty happy. I'm still kind of just wanting to do the outer skins/ slip on style to keep it decent for a few more years yet. We'll see
Hey everyone!
Going to have to fix the rockers on my 03 QC. Have a few holes now through the rockers on passenger side, drivers side is fine right now but might as well do it too since it will only be a matter of time.
Whats the best way to do this? buy some slip on and cut out the rust and...
KIDRR Wow thats a awesome looking truck! up here in Ontario Canada they're all rotted from the salt. Would love to find a low mile rust free like that.
OK, thought the aftermarket ones were supposed to be more efficient ( like the converter itself has less drag ). Thanks for the reply!
Btw love the SRT charger !
I want to get either a 3/8 m18 or maybe the m12 fuel stubby next for tighter areas. The high torque 1/2 is a beast from the small amount I've used it so far but too big to get in a lot of areas on vehicles.
And probably get a 4 1/2" fuel grinder too but can only spend so much at once lol
