    Can't iD source of Noise coming from under front of 2010 Ram 1500 4WD

    Thank you jws123, your diagnosis and work around were spot on. I appreciate the sharing on this forum, my mechanic said he would never have caught this without the input from here. He was definitely getting frustrated not being able to diagnose this. I am having my local shop look into how...

    Can't iD source of Noise coming from under front of 2010 Ram 1500 4WD

    I'm have a clicking type noise(see attached video) coming from under front end of my truck. It goes away when I slip the vehicle into neutral, happens in 2WD and 4WD, probably at all speeds but easier to hear at lower speeds. I did have a check 4WD code a month back but no codes are presenting...

    Exhaust Manifolds Debacle

    Thanks for the response. I really didn't want to go the header route. Don't want the extra heat in my engine compartment. Also don't want the game of picking the BEST header for the job, gasket, bolts, etc.... kind of like what is the BEST oil discussion.

    Exhaust Manifolds Debacle

    FINAL OUTCOME: Got my truck back yesterday, sounds great, no leaks NO TICK. He was able to get the 6 broken studs out via the welding method. Took him a few extra hours. Now I have new manifolds, NAPA certified brand, and a 24-month warranty on parts and labor. If the shit happens...

    Exhaust Manifolds Debacle

    Spoke to him early this evening. I was going to tell him he could have the truck for a week, BUT when we spoke he was much calmer. Said my suggesting about a weld got him to thinking and he called another master mechanic who told him to use the MIG welder at normal settings, he could stick it...

    Exhaust Manifolds Debacle

    Thanks for the advice. I will let him see it through. He is a legit shop, been around for o 20 years. When I spoke with him he was freaking out as his other mechanic had just quit because of COVID anxiety. He is booked solid for 2 weeks and had not allocated extra time for this job, guess he...

    Exhaust Manifolds Debacle

    Love my 2010 Ram 1500 SLT Crew Cab 5.7L Hemi 4x4 now with 107K miles. I am the original owner. Did have the manifolds replaced by dealership 2 times while still under warranty BUT of course the tick and busted bolts came back. Decided I want to keep this truck as I have always given it TLC and...

    Weight Distribution Hitch

    WDH is a WINNER and IMHO a must if you are towing heavy or have excess tongue weight because of how you loaded your trailer. Airbags are useless cosmetic devices, if you have too much weight on your rear axle the airbags do nothing to redistribute the weight to your forward wheels. A WDH set...

    For those that don't think the cabin air filter mod is worth it...

    I have a 2010 Ram 1500 Hemi with 104K miles. Just had the A/C evap cooler replaced it was dead, and while they were in there I had them replace the heater core. Total cost from a good shop / wrench was about $1,500. I was OK with price as I did not want to tackle this job. Now have a small...

    Interesting times trying to buy a truck

    This is a great thread. My experience started this morning. I contact management first by email to start the process. If they are unwilling to communicate initially via email they are not getting my business. Talking to salespeople when they have no power in the price negotiation, complete...
