    Ram 1500 Brake pads

    I used DuraGo® BP898MS - Premium™ Semi-Metallic Rear Disc Brake pads on the rear and DuraGo® BP1084MS - Premium™ Semi-Metallic Front Disc Brake pads on the front of my 2015, no issues. From CarID.

    A Lot of Weird Service Suggestions?

    In the 2008 Honda Odyssey manual it says to replace the brake fluid every 3 years.

    Transmission Fluid / Service

    So these tranny's are not vented to the atmosphere at all? It seems the case pressure would build up and affect line pressures. Or is the head space purged with nitrogen at the factory?

    2015 ram 1500 sport front sway bar cracked

    Where do they crack? Do you have a pic? Might put that on my inspection list when I do oil changes.

    Looking at a 2016 1500 and have a couple of questions.

    Average vehicle mileage per year is 15,000 miles. If you do get it I would suggest changing all fluids/oils so you have a baseline of when they were last changed.

    Can you remove the cv axles?

    I have a long trip coming up too and was thinking of saving wear on my tires and taking them all off. Does anyone see an issue with just driving on the rotors? I mean a wagon wheel is made of wood and a solid wheel of metal would seem to be somewhat better. Change my mind.

    Heads up on diesel oil supply

    Sounds like I should stock up on it even though I don't have a diesel.

    Premium vs regular gas

    Engine Masters did a dyno test of different grades of gas to show it didn't amount to much at all and not worth the cost of premium in normally aspirated engines. It made more HP and torque on E85 than on 116 Octane racing fuel. LS3 6.2L crate motor, 10.7:1 compression...

    Accidentally remote started truck with no oil- am I okay?

    It seems there maybe something wrong with the safety switches on your truck. When you remote start, it locks the doors, checks for hood closure, then starts (unless different years or aftermarket they don't). If you remote started from under the truck, you would have to get up, fumble for the...

    ZF8 - PPE Pan Install and D6 Changeout to Maxlife

    Had to jack mine up 10.5" to get the tranny level, used 6 ton set of stands, made in USA. Used the LifeGuard Fluid 8 from Carid website, had the best pricing and veteran discount. Drained 4qts when cold (not able to pull drain plug without a shaved 10mm right angle because of the exhaust pipe)...

    Rear differential pinion gear nut remove for 2012 Ram 1500 5.7 4x4

    Never heard of a 12 corner socket. There are 6-point and 12-point, so for this I would recommend a 12-point flank drive socket.

    Just ordered full LED setup for Hi/Lo/Fog

    How have they been holding up? Did you need the anti-flicker harness to make it work with the CANBUS?

    New and some questions

    I'm not too keen on the headlamp idea either. Clamping an energy releasing bungee cord around your head with multiple electron storage devices seems risky. If you don't align the strap right you can smack your eye with the bungee, and the electron storage units are an explosion hazard, and...

    Cats Stolen

    Do you really think someone is going to use their real ID and information to commit a crime? I guess if there was a law to leave your name and info to rob a bank we could catch the crooks faster. About the same as a no gun zone, criminals don't obey signs or laws.

    Ram 5.7Hemi Coolant Flush DIY

    I haven't drained mine yet, but manual shows 18.3 qts total capacity, so if flushed with water several times and you can drain out at least 9 qts or more which would be half the system, then for the final fill with 9.15 qts concentrate (half the system) then the rest with water you should be at...

    ScaryTowing!

    It must have been a very hot day to have all those wind turbines going strong to cool off the valley. Would create a huge Venturi effect on the slight upslope there at the wipeout scene. ;)

    Hemi 5.7l v8 Rear Differential Cover ?

    My 2015 Ram also has the rubber plug in the cover and a fill and drain. So do you fill to spill the rubber plug hole or the diff fill plug hole? The video I saw from a "professional" on youtube removed the fill plug first to make sure it would come out and not seized, but in the end he ended...

    Is this normal?

    My 2015 has been doing this too, I have to bang it back with a hammer at the wheels. Does anyone have a video of replacing the corroded levers? I see dorman has the levers and rubber boots, but not sure how they attach to the drum brake hardware. The dorman p/n is 924544. If the OEM levers...
