Overlanding Build - 4th Gen
Look up adventure index on instagram/ his website for inspiration and design ideas. He built a DIY drawer system with a kitchen for a 4 runner. Im sure it can be easily adapted for a ram 1500 bed -
What can I do with this mess… BOTCHED cam and lifter job
I spoke with them yesterday, theyll swing by my shop sometime and give me an idea on cost but they're about 4 months out on scheduling right now... I think I may like the idea of selling it as a roller the most. The truck has been nothing but headaches.. before I became involved with the...- healthyrx

What can I do with this mess… BOTCHED cam and lifter job
So I am a licensed pharmacist coming into a management position in my families engineering company. I started about 2 months ago now. The engine was pulled from the truck and disassembly began in may.. I have no idea if this guy we had as a mechanic did anything right because everything he...- healthyrx

What can I do with this mess… BOTCHED cam and lifter job
No experience with engine rebuilds beyond a 85cc 2 stroke Dirtbike… so this isn’t quite the same thing. I also don’t really have time to try to learn as I am busy with several other things. Just wondering how best to proceed for the best value - not necessarily cheapest option- healthyrx

What can I do with this mess… BOTCHED cam and lifter job
Engine has about 175k on it IIRC. I like the Idea of having a machine shop do the heads and valve job. At this point is it worth looking into the MDS delete kit as well?- healthyrx

What can I do with this mess… BOTCHED cam and lifter job
Long story short… before I started, my company had hired someone who was in mechanic school and was supposed to be out full time mechanic. He began working on replacing the cam and lifters in a 2014 ram 1500 we have and we ended up having to let him go 4 weeks into the attempted lifter job… yes...- healthyrx

Is the Carli markup worth it on the Fox 2.0 coilovers?
I also have some of the Icon 2.5s. Before that I was running the Eibach pro truck front lift. IMO the 650# springs are stiff for a stock front end but not over the top stiff. My analogy of stock front suspension vs Icon front suspension is like a trail riding dirtbike (stock) vs a motocross bike... -
Time to Un-lift my truck
The time has come for my 1500 to transition from my personal vehicle to a company vehicle for other (older folks) to be using regularly. As such I think that in addition to adding power steps, I will need to un lift it. For the front I know I can just turn the icon coilovers down from the 2.5"... -
Oil Change interval for high idle time? Hemi Tick prevention ideas?
Unfortunately it would likely be a quick lube type place where that is done. It is hard enough to get some people to just take the truck to get an oil change, let alone find a place that will do what I would want them to do.- healthyrx

Oil Change interval for high idle time? Hemi Tick prevention ideas?
It looks like my ram will stay in the family afterall. It is going to become a company work truck and will be un-lifted and put back to 33s. I already have warped exhaust manifolds that need to be addressed. Most likely this truck will be used for one of my family business construction...- healthyrx

What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
Wow these superduties are big… and ugly …and don’t worry I’ll be the first to admit that the 2023 MY when bone stock is about as ugly as the Chevy HHR was. But it’s got good bones and I really like the lifted looks on the 23s- healthyrx

5th gen Fox coilovers on 4th gen?
I second @crazykid1994 on not using zone UCAs. I tried for months to get a good alignment and was not able to with my setup. Switched to JBA and it has been dead on for 30k miles now -
What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
I may still be lingering around. My families business has some ram 5500 chassis cabs on order that will be used as crane trucks- when they get delivered:confused:- healthyrx
