    Options for Fixing a Bent Trailer Hitch Receiver

    I thought to fit back up the new hitch, but the original was a bear to get off the truck...my thought is due to slight bend down it caused the side to flare out which makes uninstall/install more difficult. Wondering if I can try to beat it back up and reinforce it? I really don't know how to...

    Anyone confirm if this is in fact not as normal? Anyone seen their frame lately :). My thought is to attempt to bend it back up and reinforce?

    Got it lifted but I’m afraid the tilt may come from the frame. The bottom is angled up but top part seems to angle down. I bought a salvage replacement but any thoughts before I go through the job of putting it back on?

    How tough a job is it to remove? Do I need to lift the bed? Looks like it is pressed in there

    Hi Folks, I have a 2006 Ram 1500 that I bought used. I recently bought a small trailer for pulling a golf cart to our hunting property. I noticed that the hitch is angled down a bit once the trailer was hooked up...never notice before, but I imagine the previous owner bent it towing...

    Low Oil Pressure Issues - Pull Pan/Replace Pump?

    Just did a pressure test: At cold start held at 40 solid - As it heated up it dropped...after probably 30min of idling it was between 24 and 20 psi - I revved it up a few times (2500RPM...somtimes 3000RPM) and it would climb up to 30 psi...no needle jumping around...always solid reading. It...

    Low Oil Pressure Issues - Pull Pan/Replace Pump?

    Started the car back up and oil pressure held fine with no unwanted noises. I started to limp it home listening for any issues or signs of pressure dropping..nothing and oil pressure held the whole drive. Right as I was passing autozone near my house, the check engine came on. I detoured to...
