    60750 Miles and Exhaust Manifold leak...

    Is it the manifold or the manifold bolts?

    Grinding noise coming from the engine bay when hard accelerating at 5-6k RPM

    Here's a wild guess; Broken motor mount?

    LED HEADLIGHTS 2010 SLT

    Nope, that's the way they're suppose to work.

    Break-in locked truck

    I'm one of those guys who even locks my vehicles in my own driveway. I also tend to keep my keys on me at all times. I've found my Ram unlocked quite a few times in the driveway. I've also unintentionally activated the remote start and set off the panic alarm while working around the house quite...

    Red Line Oil

    I run Redline 5w30 and a Mobil1 filter. I tow a bassboat and a camper a lot during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. My Blackstone Labs oil analysis looked great last year. Virtually no signs of wear and the oil itself was still in great shape after 6000 miles. In the comments they wrote that I...

    Best Oil and oil filter for ram 1500 Slt 5.7 Hemi

    There are several pretty good oil filter comparisons on YouTube. One of the more recent ones compares 10 filters from ranging from cheapest to most expensive. They cover constuction, material, filtration particle size, and price. The Wix was rated fairly well in the comparison.

    NO KEY FOB. NOW WHAT?

    My thought as well. Locksmith is an easy solution, just have to be able to prove ownership.

    I've got the good old gas cap light problem- 2014 Ram 1500

    My 2011 had that issue, no idle or performance problems. I replaced the cap and cleared the codes using my OBDLink, when the problem kept coming back I replaced the purge valve. Problem resolved.

    Whistling on acceleration

    Does the whistle correlate to speed or engine RPM. If it's engine RPM, the first two things I think of is vacuum leak or idler pulley bearing.

    Remote start problem

    That's what mine did when it was throwing the evap/gas cap code. Once I cleared the code with my OBD2 MX it would work fine until the next time it threw a code. I replaced the evap solenoid and no more problem.

    AlfaOBD - Unable to Program New Keys

    I've only performed the function once to program two extra keys and it went without any problems. I don't even remember the procedure now. You might try clearing things out by disconnecting the battery for about 20 minutes. Then reconnect and try again.

    Bad Bilstein or bad install??

    I'd have to say it was a faulty installation.

    Switching from synthetic oil back to reg oil?

    It may all be some sort of coincidence, but before I started using full synthetic oil, no vehicle I ever owned made it to 100k miles before it started using oil, smoking, or had some kind of mechanical problem that could be related to engine wear or oil. My driving habits haven't changed, in...

    Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek

    I know nothing about the Rugged Trek. I own 295/60 20 Cooper STT Pros that I normally run during Winter months and 295/60 20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs that I run the rest of the year. I lot depends on how you intend to use the tires. I don't do routine off-roading, my only true need for...

    12V battery pack booster

    5 years is max for me. I've found that on most of my new cars, the battery has failed around year 6, so I just replace them before they have a chance to fail. If I've somehow let a battery discharge to the point of being dead dead, I'll replace it even sooner. I also carry a Noco GB70 and...

    New storage are under front center seat?

    It says 2006 to 2019, but as far as I know, my 2011 center console seat bottom doesn't raise up as pictured.

    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    Go see the Ram/Toyota dealer in Mount Airy, NC. They're good people and if you can get the warranty issue straightened out, I'm sure they'll make you a deal and probably sell your Tundra as Certified Pre-owned. I don't know what that equates to today, but in 06, it meant something like 5...

    Resistors

    I've never read up on the whole resistor/headlight issue so, I'm not real familiar with the use of resistors for aftermarket headlights. If they are off the shelf resistors, you might try selecting a slightly higher power rating if they are used on the power wire and in either case, a lower...

    Parking Brake cable sagging low

    Yup, the parking brake cable and mechanism corrodes from road salt. It's really bad in salt zones. Using the brake helps keep it free. If you tow, you should get used use the parking brake. You wouldn't believe how many trucks have been launch with boats.

    Rear brake rotor and pad change problems

    Rear brakes are often neglected and living in a salt zone only makes things worse. I have to agree with turkeybird56. Buy a couple cans of Deep Creep and saturate everything the night before and again in the morning. Putting it back together will be a lot easier than pulling it apart. I'd plan...

    Overheating Issue Help Please

    I ran into a similar issue with my 5.7 back during Summer. Replacing the thermostat and flushing the system did nothing to resolve the problem. Replacing the water pump was the answer.

    Stained cloth?

    OxyClean, I mix it very strong, something like a cup to a gallon of very warm water. Saturate the area with the oxyclean solution using a clean towel, let it set for about 20-30 minutes, then use a carpet cleaner with upholstery attachment. Do it in a warm day or in a warm garage. This has...

    Ram hvac actuator diagram.

    I've never had to deal with that issue yet. I found this on a 2010 1500, I'd expect it to be similar. Hope it helps. 2010 Ram 1500 Defrost Damper Motor
