    mds lifter missing pins, rod bent

    Bent pushrod is most likely due to mechanical interference. Piston to valve, bent valve, some other clearance issue.

    5.7 Hemi "blew up" by dealership?

    Not sure if it's been discussed but the only way I can imagine an injector causing a connecting rod to break is if the injector dumped liquid fuel into the cylinder causing the engine to hydro lock and bend/break the rod.

    Tranny oil change - 8 speed

    Anybody ever run some tubing from the fill plug up into the engine compartment to make it easier to add the fluid without a pump and without laying on the ground trying to do so?

    Another hood thread, lol.

    Badass looking trucks! Beast, what does water do in the heat extractors? I'm under the impression it just drains into the engine compartment.

    Another hood thread, lol.

    Seeking confirmation of sport bumper over chrome bumper 2014

    Prompted by a fender bender I am looking for confirmation that I can install a sport plastic bumper cover over my steel bumper. Did alot of reading and seems pretty well confirmed that this can be done on earlier Rams. Basically you remove the filler panel above the steel bumper and the lower...
