    Snugtop fitment question

    That looks real nice and what I was hoping for! This shell was only $100 so I may just try and shave it down to not rub.

    Snugtop fitment question

    I thought maybe but it has the correct glass that seals around the rounded shape of the 4th gen tailgate. I think the shapes of the back of the quad vs crew cab are different.

    Snugtop fitment question

    Just bought a SnugTop for my 2014 1500 quad cab and after getting home it doesn’t seem to line up right. The guy I bought it from had a 2018 2500 but I assumed it would be the same bed? The top corners contact the cab before the topper is all they way forward, it needs to be go another 3/4in...

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    I have a 2014 Ram with the 8.4uconnect that is failing. I have access to a 8.4uconnect out of a 2020 Ram that looks like the below picture. Would this work in my 2014 (just the radio obviously, not the trim)? The part number is 68428539AC

    Push rod out too far to install rocker arm

    Finishing up my cam/lifter replacement and I'm stuck on the driver side push rod/rocker arm install. The passenger side went smooth but on the driver side the #5 cylinder intake and exhaust push rods are out about 1/4'' further than the rest and don't allow me to seat the arm down properly. I...

    VVT Solenoid Metal Flakes

    Doing a cam/lifter swap and was told to pull the VVT to see if it’s “clogged” with metal shavings. This obviously isn’t clogged, maybe 10-15 very small pieces. Is this enough to be concerned? https://imgur.com/a/vwRSjrs

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    Update after getting the heads off. Here is cylinder 3 lifter for anyone curious. I havent got the cam out but I'm sure its toast too. Ordered MMX no tune cam, "hellcat" lifters, tuner, and all the supporting gaskets and will get it back on the road.

    Do you have a part number for the update solenoid? Anything I can find online has the same part number from 09-23. Thanks

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    Thanks for this, I had no idea. I plan on repairing the truck and having it for awhile. Just have to decide on what parts to use. Since it’s apart I’d like to upgrade/get some more hps out of it if I can.

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    This (louder than the normal engine ticking) started happening the other day and I'm very curious what everyone opinion is. I drive this truck 100+ miles a day for work and really hoping its a quicker manifold fix rather than loosing the truck for a few weeks for the cam/lifters. For context, I...

    Longevity for the 5.7L

    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7L and I just hit 140,000 miles and would like to keep the truck another 5-7 years (another ~150,000 miles) is that possible? What are some preventative items I can start working through? I just did the water pump, thermostat, and flush. Appreciate the conversation
