    2014 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi swap, would a 2021 5.7 Hemi work?

    Good advice. I believe it was a side swipe collision.

    2014 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi swap, would a 2021 5.7 Hemi work?

    According to some internet research and the wrecker the 2021 engine will swap OK, so I'm going with it. WHOO HOO!

    2014 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi swap, would a 2021 5.7 Hemi work?

    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi that has a cylinder 3 misfire due to a worn cam. The engine has 300,000 kms (186,000 miles). A local wrecker has two 5.7 hemi engines available both from 1500s. One is from a 2014 with 80,000 km and the other is from a 2021 with 7,000 km. Would it be possible to...

    Tonneau cover or Cap question

    I just had very high winds remove my Undercover Flex trifold tonneau cover (it wasn't pretty). The tonneau was getting kinda old anyway and the tri-fold was always a pain. So now I'm looking for a cap for a white 2014 Ram 1500 SLT Crew 4x4, 6'4" bed thinking it might be more wind and rain...

    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    Ouch! These will be cheaper aftermarket parts with warranty. Hopefully, they will last.

    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    Yeah, I have the same rattling noise which happens at random times. I thought it was the exhaust pipe banging on the frame or possibly rattling manifold shields. It is usually loud when first started on a cold morning and goes away when the truck warms up. Yesterday, I took it to my mechanic...

    Gear won't leave Park. Help please!

    With the parking brake on, I popped the trim plate under the light switches, slid the locking plate to the right and pulled the park override strap until it clicked into position. I released the parking bake to roll the truck forward a foot. Then, I started the truck and after some warning...

    Gear won't leave Park. Help please!

    Minus the oil level problems, my 2014 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 is also stuck in Park. As usual, I started my truck with foot on brake pedal and moved the rotary shifter from P to D. On the dash, I received an error message "Shift to P then Desired Gear". Both PRND displays flashed as I shifted to each...

    Black Vinyl Floor Covering - Very Slippery

    That's likely what it is. Maybe in time it will wear off.

    Black Vinyl Floor Covering - Very Slippery

    My used 2014 Ram 1500 SLT Crew Cab came with a Black Vinyl Floor Covering and no floor mats. The floor covering looks fantastic and like new but it is very, very slippery. I've bought floor mats for the front but they don't stay in place. Stuff placed on the floor in the back seat area slides...

    I want to have my truck's bed Coated/Covered to protect.

    Thanks, it looks like about $225 at Amazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/U-POL-Raptor-Black-Liner-Liters/dp/B06XVNYJLD/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Raptor+bedliner&qid=1609785395&sr=8-4 I think I might try a mini tar patch.

    I want to have my truck's bed Coated/Covered to protect.

    There doesn't appear to be any factory spray-in liner on my trucks build sheet. It must have been bought later.

    I want to have my truck's bed Coated/Covered to protect.

    My used RAM came with a bed that has a sprayed-on black textured coating that is about 1/8" thick. The entire floor, side panels and tailgate was sprayed with this coating. I have no idea what product was used. It looks good but I recently noticed that I have three small areas on the inside top...
