    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    I just finished replacing the rear upper manifold bolt from the passenger side on my 2011 1500 5.7 Hemi about three weeks ago. It was a pain staking process to extract the bolt, but after about two hours of very slow drilling with a 3/32" titanium coated bit, I used a left hand 7/16" bit that...

    New Jack for lifted 1500

    I'm sold! I think that's worth the investment. Already planning more upgrades over the next year and may move up to 35" tires, but this would be great and fit under the rear storage areas or in my rescue box nicely.

    New Jack for lifted 1500

    New Jack for lifted 1500

    I just realized after leveling and putting 33" tires on new wheels that my stock scissor jack will not even get the tires off the ground. Any suggestions for a new jack that will actually lift the truck in case I get a flat? Will a 2500 jack work in getting the tires off the ground? Thanks all!

    Thank for all the welcomes. Here's a few images of the work I did on the front end and the new wheels going on today. I'll post an image of the truck with the new wheels and tires today.

    I'll post some picks soon. I didn't think about taking pics after doing all the work, and it is freezing in Colorado today. I'll get some this afternoon and post. Still don't have new wheels or tires yet. My wheels and tires are pretty beat.

    Hi all, Been reading many informative posts by users of the site and just wanted to say hello and thank you. The breadth of knowledge, a lot from trial and error, helps the rest of us with our maintaining or upgrading. A little about me... I bought my Ram 1500 brand new in 2011 and didn't make...
