    Hemi Starter Motor

    I drive a 2011 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi with only about 75K miles on it. No starter problems but did have to change the water pump a couple of years ago.

    Brand new RAM died in the middle of the road!

    Most states prohibit windshield tinting, don't they?

    Oil leaks around Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensors and Variable Valve Lift (VVL) Solenoid on a Pentastar 3.6L engine.

    Ok thanks. I was hoping that I could do the maintenance myself.

    Oil leaks around Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensors and Variable Valve Lift (VVL) Solenoid on a Pentastar 3.6L engine.

    If I remove the sensors and solenoids to replace the o-rings will the engine cam/crank variation need to be relearn by performing a scan tool procedure after repair?

My digital water temp fluctuated between 195 and 205 before i did this change and it still does now. I have checked the reservoir level several...

    2019 bed higher in front

    Are there any marks on the back of the cab which would indicate it was hit from the rear and pushed forward. My Dakota was rear ended and the bed hit the cab. A frame shop pulled the frame straight within 1/8 of an inch but I could still see a slight wrinkle on the left side of the box. Also...

    Word of advice... Never few up your tank pass the 1st click!

    When the fuel nozzle clicks I stop. Hey! I am going to need fuel again so why risk over filling or cause a malfunction.

    Factory jack enhancements?

    I keep a floor jack and four way in my WeatherGuard truck box. It is a whole lot easier to use, plus I had a flat on my utility trailer which made that tire change easy too.

    What do you guys stand on when working under hood?

    I use a Wagner platform. I am not near it but i think it is about 42 inches long and 24 inches tall and you can lock the legs so it will not collapse during use. They are not expensive and light weight. You can buy them at Lowe's, Home Depot or wherever Wagner products are sold.

    Best highway or all season tires

    I put 4 Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my 2011 RAM 2500 Crew Cab Hemi last year and have put about 8000 miles on them so far. They still look like new and have seen no wear. I have used Michelin tires on my pickups for many years and have always got good service out the them.

    UPR Catch can

    I like my UPR catch can but not their hoses and their installation instructions are not very good. My can is not labeled for in and out but I looked up the design of the UPR catch can and figured it out. Proper installation shows the inlet and outlet hoses cross each other. The inlet is the open...

    Catch Can

    I have a 2011 2500 heavy duty four door with a 5.7 hemi. I bought and installed the UPR Products.com catch can. Their installation instructions are poor so I went to U-Tube and watch several installation videos. I used the lower bolt hole on the front of my engine so it would not interfere with...

    for anyone who has installed cabin air filter...

    I have a 2011 and had to cut out the hole. I heated up a sharp knife with a torch and cut it out doing a little bit at a time. Everything came out OK.
