    Rattle between engine and trans w/video

    My 00 1500 with a freshly rebuilt magnum 360 has a strange rattle between the engine and trans. Only seems to do it when warmed up. Sounds louder near the trans area but not sure. Couldn't hear anything at all with a stethoscope so I'm confused. Maybe flexplate bolts are loose? It also has a...

    Disk Brake Conversion question

    So I have bought a differential from a 3rd gen ram with disk brakes. I've been following a thread on how to do the swap. Seems simple enough. The only thing it doesn't mention is having to fool with the proportioning valve. It doesn't sound like the guy had to do anything to it and he drove it...

    I am trying to buy new leaf spring perches for my 2000 Ram 1500 with the chrysler 9.25. I am having a hell of a time finding the dimensions of the stock ones.

    5.9l Noise with Video

    My 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.9l Magnum has started to make a bit of a tapping noise when revved and warm. Only seems to do it when warm. It's also not very consistent. One time it will do it. The next time I rev it to the same spot, it may not. This truck is new to me so I am not sure if...

    46re quick shift out of 3rd

    My 2000 Ram 5.9l with the 46re trans seems to like to instantly shift out of 3rd and into 4th. It goes into 3rd, but doesn't doesn't stay there for more then a second before going into 4th. Also likes to do this when downshifting. Which is annoying because sometimes I'm either screaming uphill...

    Ram 5.9l Power

    So I just recently bought a 2000 Ram 5.9l with the auto trans. I could help but notice that it does feel a little... slow. Truthfully it does feel slower then my Jeep 4.0l. Which was also slow. How do these things normally feel as far as power? As a side note, I plan on replacing the cat as I am...

    Metal In Differential With Pictures

    Well today I went to change my differential fluid hoping to find no issues. No such luck. I found a tooth missing from the ring and a little chip in the pinion. All the rest looked good. Spider gears seemed fine. I am guessing the rest of the metal is the clutch packs getting destroyed...

    Thermostat Temp

    Should I put a 195 thermostat or 180 thermostat in my 2000 Ram 1500 with the 5.9l. It's got 202k miles. Any advantages with one over the other? I am pretty sure my thermostat gasket is leaking so I have to remove it anyway.

    5.9l Misfire

    I am going to look at a 1998 Ram 1500. The guy says it's got a misfire at idle and runs rough until 2500 rpm. After that it's completely normal. Any thoughts about what it can be? Maybe a tune up would solve it? Maybe injectors? One thing I've been reading about and not liking the sound of is...
