    5.7 Hemi Replacement

    I just spoke with the service dept at my dealership. It's the first dealership I've ever felt comfortable having do work. They really are different. Anyway, they said it would be about $2,600 if I just needed lifters or around $4,500 if they have to replace cams as well.

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

    Awesome. Thanks. Everything must have finished loading last night because it's all working now. Looks like I have SW Version 22.34.11. I've written to Chrysler but figure folks here probably have a more accurate answer. How do I get the SW updates? Their site requires a VIN but mine would...

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

    How long or how many cycles should it take for the radio to config? It's a 68461699AC radio. Was told it is new. Still had the screen protector on it and didn't require an unlock code so could be true. Also, how can I tell what SW version it has on it? When I go into settings/ system...

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

    I got my new unit installed and working. Only thing that isn't working is the backup camera. I have the factory in my 2015. Noticed it's a maroon connection. On the back of the new radio there is a maroon as well as a red connection which wasn't on my original head unit. The red is where...

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

    I have tried searching but can't find a thread that shows how to build the adapter harness. anyone posted the details yet (connectors part numbers, pin out map, etc)?

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

    Found another. PN 68472642af. Searching online it looks like it is usually with a Chrysler 300/ Challenger/ Charger. This one of those that people have tried and failed to get to work? Is there a single place with the model numbers that have been proven to work all listed together? Would be...

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

    Pics below but I just looked and they posted additional pics. It's not an 8.4. Much smaller screen so no use to me anyway. Thanks anyway. Still trying to find one locally with no luck. Seems there are a few folks that are able to scoop them up and are making a business out of reselling...

    Front Brakes "Not making full contact"

    So, got it pulled apart today. These were drilled and slotted rotors. I knew I needed to replace them anyway and ordered the new parts this week. Turns out it was a build up of brake dust in one of the slots that then glazed over and created a very slight issue on the pad. I still contend it...

    Front Brakes "Not making full contact"

    The outside edges are normal. The band about 1/8" in from the outer edge is what they are claiming is corrosion and failed me for.

    Front Brakes "Not making full contact"

    These little strips of very light rust are on each rotor. Very strange that it's consistent on both sides. Won't get to pull them until this weekend but it really look superficial. Could buff them out but will likely need new pads. And need to figure out what caused it. Good times.

    Front Brakes "Not making full contact"

    Well, I questioned the service manager since I could see from the outside that the rotors look great. He talked with the tech and said that it's the inside of the rotors. Can't really see them without pulling the wheels when I get home but I did notice what may be a slight ridge at the edge...

    Front Brakes "Not making full contact"

    So, I am at the dealer getting an inspection and the transmission flush (cause I'm lazy this week) and they come out to tell me that my 2015 1500 failed due to "front brake pads not making full contact with the rotor". I said that I was surprised that they would be even close to worn since they...

    Amp bed step(sold)

    Do you have the actual model number? I bought another one of these before realizing it won't fit my year, configuration. Very interested if it will fit my 2015 1500 Laramie with factory dual exhausts.

    More Header questions

    I put my JBA shorties on about 2K miles ago. They had much higher quality welds than I was expecting given some of the review by others. The ceramic coating was done well but I wrapped them anyway. Install is a *****. I honestly am thinking I should have gone with the ARH LTs. Would have...

    I hate Noises this one is driving me crazy!

    I know you said the sound changes at higher RPM but does it follow the RPM progressively or drop off? I'm wondering because it doesn't necessarily sound like a direct RPM based sound. I've had heat shields/various metal attachments come loose in the past and I would have sworn they were a...

    JBA Shorties - how to torque

    I ordered and used some Felpro. They seemed really solid compared to the JBA gaskets. Def would not have used those.

    JBA Shorties - how to torque

    Yep. Went from inside to outside. Not sure about your numbering but I basically started with the top of one of the inner exhaust ports, did the bottom of that one then the other inner bottom, that top one, then the outer bolts. Went 4 rounds increasing torque until I felt like it was in that...

    JBA Shorties - how to torque

    I just swapped out my stock manifolds due to the common broken bolt on each side. Put on a set of JBA ceramic shorties (went ahead and wrapped them too). Not too bad of an install compared to what I've heard. Only issue is how the hell do people actually torque these? I can't figure a way to...

    Stripped screw threading in manifold - YAY!

    If it's the composite plastic, you could try a heavy duty 2-part epoxy fix. Basically, fill the stripped holes, let fully cure, drill and tap fresh holes. I have done this before. Make sure not to drill out whatever threads are remaining as they will help the epoxy hold. I'll add that this...

    How much can I haul in my 2015 Ram 1500 short bed?

    There is a difference between "can" and "should". For instance, I was able to travel about 50 miles with my 2015 1500 5.7 loaded down with tile in the back. It was easily 2K lbs if not closer to 3K. Was riding on the bump stops, original suspension, the entire time. Took is slow but it was...

    Stock 20s or keep the upgraded 22s on 2022 1500 Limited

    I'm running 20s with a 2.25 lift (5100 Billis up front and spring spacer in the rear) and 275/65 20 BFG KO2s. To me, this puts the exact amount of space I like but that really is a subjective thing.
