    EBC brakes

    I don’t know any site vendors. Right before I traded my Wrangler for my current Ram, I put on Yellow Stuff pads and their sport slotted, dimpled rotor that matched the yellow stuff pads. I got that on Amazon but they don’t seem to have any for our Rams. Have also used Rock Auto too but they’re...

    Exhaust

    I’d share my two cents but my setup will make your neighbor or wife hate it. If I had a 5th gen I’d simply spend the coin on a Corsa cat back. Yes very expensive. We’ve had a sport system on an 07 mustang gt and an extreme system on a 10 mustang gt. I just installed a full Corsa cat back on my...

    Front rotor

    I’ve used this trick before, pulled a pic from the internet to show. Use the bolt holes used to secure the caliper to push from the rear of the rotor with bolts. There’s also another bolt trick from the front, bunch of vids on YouTube showing how. Hope this helps.

    Eco diesel to Hemi swap, looking for info.

    Ahh, gotcha. Disregard

    Eco diesel to Hemi swap, looking for info.

    You may want to check the legality of that. I only mention because I’ve toyed with putting a 12 valve Cummins in my 2017 RCSB only to learn that on modern vehicles, you cannot replace a gas engine with a diesel legally. Section 203(a)(3)(A) of the Clean Air Act talks about this along with the...

    Toyo Open Country Tires

    The tread appears good, that is a fair price. We have that tire in 35x12.5x35 on my wife’s rubicon and I think we paid around $350 each, for five of course. We like the tire.

    Flo pro direct fit muffler for 5.7

    For no drone, stay away from the Flo Pro Twisters. Obviously a different muffler than 2511, but the Twisters are a knock off of the Moroso spiral flow mufflers. I had two 12” twisters with an H pipe on my 2004 RCSB Hemi. No back pressure, loud hemi fart between 1st and 2nd at WOT, drone was...

    Ram sport wheels polished?

    Any Mag wheel polish, I have used Mother’s with success however I still always end up going back to Nev-R Dull from my Marine Corps days.

    Fahren LED's... love em.

    I have them in the high beam projectors, no fitment issues at all, installed both low and high at the same time.

    2017 / R/T Sport Question

    Others will definitely opine on the hand grenade driveshaft we have, but I have a preowned 2017 R/T 2WD with 44k miles. From my research due to the same concerns just after purchase, it seems the critical failure point is around 130mph and 5,350 rpms (I think). Anyway, while I love romping the...

    Fahren LED's... love em.

    I have these in projectors, no issues from me. I do believe an HID setup would probably be better for the projectors but their output for the cost is great. They’re just as bright as the JW Speaker 8700’s I had in my Wrangler BUT they’re nowhere near as bright as the factory LEDs in my wife’s...

    Nitto and General and Goodrich, oh my...

    I had 35” General Grabber AT2’s on my former 2013 wrangler, they were my favorite. About 20k on those before I traded for my current Ram, barely any wear and they were rated for 55k miles. They were amazing in snow and ice when aired down a bit. I tried to get the new General grabber ATs on my...

    New Flowmaster exhaust

    Congrats! I love my Flowmaster, having had a variety of different brands on previous Rams and Mustangs, I just love the sound.

    HIDs are super dim on my RT

    If it’s any consolation, I grappled with an HID setup on my 17’ RT but figured before I drop the cash I’d try some basic LED bulbs. I know our projectors supposedly perform better with HIDs rather the LED bulbs but I have to admit the light output is near similar to my wife’s 20 Rubicon with...

    Long Tubes, Tunes, and State Inspections

    Thanks Jay, and Semper Fi! Good to know it’s not impossible!

    Camshaft swap, ShitBox Edition.

    Damn man, I know it’s not rocket science but I sure wish I had the know how to tear into an engine like this. Nice work!

    Long Tubes, Tunes, and State Inspections

    Thank you, very helpful. Yes, I had the double non-foulers with the first one drilled out on the Mustang, I think I still have them somewhere. But it’s good to know that both a tune and the foulers will work.

    Long Tubes, Tunes, and State Inspections

    State inspection in Texas. Years ago I had a Mustang GT with an offroad H, SCT tuner with custom tunes, and the tuner removed O2’s but I couldn’t keep the tune installed during inspection, the emissions check would show “not ready”. So I used spark plug non-foulers on the rear O2s, remove tune...

    Camshaft swap, ShitBox Edition.

    Nice, looks great! I thought I recognized those springs and shocks. I wish I had done LCAs instead of the geo correction brackets. We just put a simple AEV 2” spacer lift on my wife’s JL Rubicon.

    Camshaft swap, ShitBox Edition.

    Nice! What lift is that? I had an AEV 2.5 Dualsport on my old JK, also did geo correction brackets and adjustable front track bar. Had no issues with it.

    ANYONE HAVE HEADERS??

    I did exactly this on my wife’s last mustang. Off-road H and non-foulers. Have a local inspection shop that doesn’t visual or even cares how the car smelled (gasoline smell). I would remove the tune, drive 60 miles, no CELs. I had about 6 straight inspection years where I didn’t have to remove...

    My two favorite trucks.

    Love the TRX over Cummins BUT if I could easily and legally delete the entire dpf system and run a decent turbo back exhaust, a good programmer...then I could be swayed. I think deleting is legal to operate/inspect in Texas but you can’t sell the truck without the EPA components so I’d have to...

    Throttle response controller

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I have a confession to make; though I plan on a programmer in the near future, I rolled the dice on a $65 throttle controller from amazon that replicates the Speedform 9-mode controller. Jesus this thing actually works as described. Not so much like programmers on...
