    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    Yea I tend to think it’s odd that that’s the only thing messed up and I really don’t see any signs of “battery acid” anywhere on top of the tank... looks like some defective brittle plastic to me... How did you know yours was all cracked? Part of me is a bit worried with all the cracks that I...

    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    In the opinions of the experts on this forum, do you think this is from my battery Acid spill or a defective part from the factory? Also, should I replace with OEM, or is there a good aftermarket one that y’all would recommend since I have to replace anyway? thanks for all the help so far!

    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    I finally got a chance to pull the tank, definitely found the culprit, also definitely not what I was expecting. the entire white plastic top of (what I’m pretty sure is the fuel pump) has cracks all over like a spider web...

    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    Ok kinda long backstory but hopefully someone has some ideas that can steer me in the right direction. I have a 2017 1500 Laramie 5.7 gas 4x4. A few weeks back my battery seemed to be on its last leg so I put in a new one from autozone. I kept the old one (another long story that would need...

    My 2007 overdue tune up

    My first and WAY overdue tune-up was a success, just wanted to say thanks for all the info I have found from all on this forum. I changed 15/16 of the plugs on my 07 hemi, and cleaned the throttle body. I ended up buying the magnetic swivel 5/8” sparkplug wrench from auto-zone. It worked...

    Fuel use

    I've ran 87 in my 07 for 103k miles now. With a real lack of maintenance on my engine (I know... i feel bad, but after joining the forum i have learned so much), knock on wood i have not had any issues with my hemi.

    Throttle body connector help please

    OK guys I figured it out, mine is a 2007 5.7 and for this clip you have to slide the red part all the way to the left to unhook the connector! hopefully this will help somebody else with a 2007

    will or is my pinion nut tight enough????

    A couple months ago I had to change out the pinion bearings on my 07 1500 4X4 with 9.25 axle. I know the situation is a bit different but maybe some of my ideas can help you out. I’ll start with the easy question- mine had the orange sealant on the diff cover and that was the first time I had...

    some help customizing?

    I guess I'm an oddball, but I like chrome too... However, I will say that you can also have TOO MUCH chrome on a truck. I think a level with some aggressive tires would make it stand out, (that's what I want to do with mine when I get the money down the road) I also have a blue ram with...

    spark plug boot question

    OK thanks, I went to take the first coil off and it was really hard to pry off and didn't want to break anything. I figured if I put something on them on reinstall, then next time they might not be as difficult.
