    Levelling or 3” lift that rides as close to stock as possible

    I’m going to throw out what I have done if it helps anyone. I have a 16 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4. I wanted to go with a slightly taller than factory tire and level the truck. I ended up with a Falcon AT3W in a 285/65R20 which is roughly 34.5” tall. This is an E rated tire so it adds some...

    Holding back the tears...

    Better warm up that arm and be ready to wave. It's a Jeep thing. Should of just kept the Ram like me and had 2 vehicles. Unfortunately I still wave to Wranglers in the Ram too. I think they get it anyway... Sent directly from my thoughts using tinfoil antennas and a stainless mixing bowl helmet.

    Hemi Fuel Economy.

    My Ram does fairly well I feel. Towing a 4500lb boat from Cape Cod, MA to Alton Bay, NH I averaged 14mpg at 70 with 4.56 gearing. Normally on the highway I see 19 at 70mph and driving around town 17mpg. This is driving with a light foot though. I could just as easily get 10mpg. 06 Ram QC 1500...

    What's your trucks name?

    My truck doesn't have a name but I do talk to her. I travel alot and when I'm leaving her in the parking garage I tell her how long I'll be gone for, make sure I check all the doors to verify they are locked, lovingly activate the alarm, and give her a little slap on the rear end... I mean...

    How is the quality on Rams?

    Dodge, Ford, Chevy... they all build good quality cars and trucks now. Reliability today with American manufactured vehicles is worlds better than it was in the 80s thanks to the Japanese invasion of there cheap and super reliable cars forcing the big three to step it up. Of course every model...

    Dash light when turning sharp right?

    Check your oil. Don't wait for the change to find out your low. If it's low and that's what is causing it you could be causing damage to your motor every time that light comes on no matter what your oil pressure gauge is doing. The gauge is designed to slowly sweep to position so that it looks...

    Rancho quick lift questions

    I have an 06 so admittedly we do not have identical trucks. I installed the Rancho Quick lifts and I recommend them. I ended up with just around 2 inches after they broke in so right in the middle of what you have read. When first put them on the tires hit the ground and the struts barely...

    What to do with the new Hemi...?

    I'm putting together a longblock to replace the 5.7 in my truck. I want to build a motor with a solid bump in HP and torque from the original. I need it to be ECM friendly and drivable. I do some towing with my 2 boats which are 20ft (4500 lbs w/trailer) and 28ft (8000 lbs w/trailer) so this...

    Painted brake calipers

    Search brake calipers from Rock Auto if you need to do brakes. They have red powder coated caliper and brackets that match pretty close to the flame red trucks. Sent directly from my thoughts using tinfoil antennas and a stainless mixing bowl helmet.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    On top of the intake behind and to the left of the throttle body. It goes into a boss molded into the intake. All you can see is the end of it. You have to turn it to unlock it to pull it out. Sent directly from my thoughts using tinfoil antennas and a stainless mixing bowl helmet.
