    Oil Consumption-Can Anything Be Done?

    My truck is a 2010 1500 with the 5.7. I just rolled over to 170k miles. I'm using about 1 quart every 2400 miles. I'm aware dodge says 1 quart per 1k miles is normal. I've changed the pcv valve and noticed little difference. There is oil in my throttle body, which is why I changed the pcv...

    Inner Tie Rod Torque Specs

    Looking for the torque specs for inner tie rods on a 2010 1500. I found the outer tie rod specs with no problem but can't find the torque specs for the inner. Can someone provide me with this number? Also, should I use some removable thread locker or is that unnecessary?

    Oil Pressure Sensor-Will It Trigger CEL?

    Can anyone tell me the torque specs for the oil pressure sensor on a 2010 1500 with the 5.7? I have seen online listings of 12 foot pounds and 22 foot pounds. 22 sounds high to me considering it is threading into aluminum. Sort of a long story, but my pcv valve went bad and I burned a lot of...

    Jack Points

    Probably a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway. 2010 1500 4x4. Is it OK to jack the truck up from the front crossmember? The one that the sway bar bolts to. It looks substantial and like it would be fine but I wanted to ask before doing any possible damage. I've got to do tie rods and...

    Heater Core Bypass For A/C performance

    Just thought I'd post the results of my heater core shutoff on my truck's ac performance. It was 95 today and with the valve open (coolant flowing through the heater core) my vent temps while driving were 44.5. With the shutoff valve closed I dropped 5 degrees to 39.5! 5 degrees doesn't...

    Heater Hose Access? 2010 5.7

    Anyone have any tips on reaching/getting access to the spring clamps for the heater hoses on the firewall? They are way, way back there and look like a PITA to reach. Current plan is to remove the engine cover and air filter box and try a small ladder/stepstool with a 24" flexible hose clamp...

    Truxedo Pro x15 Issue

    Thought I'd share my experience with my truxedo pro x15. I've had it just over a year and one of the cross bars has completely detached itself from the cover. I contacted truxedo and they asked me to send proof of purchase and pictures of the issue, which I'm posting here for you all. The...

    AC Manifold Gages Issue

    Quick question regarding ac gages. I've used my set quite a few times over the years (have to recharge about once a year) with no issues. Today I went to recharge my ac and had a weird issue with my low side gage. Ambient temp was 100, low side read 40 and as I added r134a, the high side went up...

    Headlight Adjustment Screw

    Hi all, I'm a long time lurker who finally registered to ask this. I have a question regarding the adjustment screws on the headlight assembly for 4th Gen rams that don't use quad bulbs (as in one bulb per headlight, not 2). I know the little t20 screw on the top of the headlight assembly is...
