    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    The EPA just tested the HO I6 and it gets worse mileage than the 5.7. Wow look at progress go.

    2014 5.7 6spd to 6.4 8spd swap.

    The 2014 Ram's had a ZF8 speed but if you are pulling it all from a car I am not sure. I was thinking that it was 2015 that they added the 8 speed to the Hemi's in the cars.

    1999 Dakota Help getting it working

    Well, not much help here I guess. I do have some new info if anybody cares. I took the battery out to charge it. When I put it back in the factory security went off. I took it around the block and the gauges went nuts. would go dead then peg out to the point it broke the speedo cable. But...

    They should. I have a single cab R/T with a 2/4 drop stock 22's and I am running the same size tires. If you crank the wheel all the way it does touch the front sway bar though. but you have to crank it hard to make it do that

    Unsure about keeping my RAM

    I would get a programmer so you can raise the idle. That way the oil pressure will be high enough if you are going to idle for a while.

    1999 Dakota Help getting it working

    I bought my kid a Dakota and I got burned. I bought it from up north and talked to the guy several times and he told me it was a street truck they took to the track a couple times. Told me it was great driving on the street and had a forged crank and a good cam. That was it. It got here and...

    I have a 2014 Ram R/T regular cab. Do you have the driver side window switch? I have an aftermarket one and it sucks. and it is orange. LOL I wasn't able to find the correct one.

    Aftermarket Taillights

    You have to use Alpha OBD and set them to LED's so the truck knows. You can get a wireless adapter and download the app. There is a huge thread for it on here but it should have the settings you need on the first page.

    2024 RAM Limited

    I really like the look of the seats. It lightens up the cabin.

    "The" Hemi tick explained

    That makes sense that they are run harder. I know I drive mine harder than I do my truck. But I do tend to run the truck hard too sometimes. LOL

    "The" Hemi tick explained

    I've never heard of the Hellcat engines eating themselves. They have had supercharger problems in the first few years though.

    2/4 drop Best shocks

    I have a 2014 RT with a 2/4 drop on it and I am running 305/45/22 and there is no reason for them to bottom out or rub when you hit a bump or dip. They will touch the sway bar at full lock a little bit though.

    Following. Both of mine quit working. The drivers side went a while ago and now the passenger side. It's annoying.
