    Shock Suggestions

    What would be a reason to go bilstein over Monroe? I currently have bilstein 4600s on my Amazon wish list. When ever I replaced something on the truck I usually try to go with a high quality part than I took off of it and the truck is used to paved road driving/towing in the summer. It sees a...

    Shock Suggestions

    I am looking for suggestions to replace the shocks on my 2006 Ram 1500 RWD Crew Cab. I do not need anything geared toward offroading since the most offroading I do is an occasional dirt road. My current shocks have about 117,000 miles on them and when I hit a bump I feel like the truck just...

    "Hemi tick"

    My 2006 Hemi has over 115,000 miles on it and since I bought it with 55,000 miles on it I have run nothing but Mobil 1 5w-20 full synthetic and the other than a little lifter noise on cold starts the thing runs quiet and smooth. Crazy how some have this "hemi tick" and attribute it to Mobil 1...

    2006 Need New Brakes

    So after 115,000 miles the brakes on my 06 Ram 1500 2WD need to be replaced. The current rotors are warped and the thing shakes pretty good coming to a stop so I was looking at maybe getting some high performance rotors that can dissapate heat better to prevent warpage as well as maybe some...

    2006 Lower Ball Joints

    I have 2006 2WD 1500 and while changing the oil the other day I noticed that the rubber on my right front lower ball joint was tore. It did not look like the ball joints could just be replaced, it looked like the whole lower control arm needs to be changed out. Is this the case or can I just...

    Orange stripe in intake

    I am not talking about the orange ring between the TB and the intake. This is a faint orange discoloration inside the intake manifold itself behind the throttle body that just goes back inside the actual intake manifold. I will take a picture next time I have a chance to year it down. Sent...

    Orange stripe in intake

    So I started my 100,000 mile maintenance and when I removed the throttle body to clean it I saw a small narrow strip of orange color inside the intake manifold shortly behind where the throttle body mounts and it keeps going back into the intake for as far as I could see (didn't think to look...
