    Diablo Trinity Upgrade Or No??

    Back when I had my 2013 RAM 1500 I purchased a Diablo T1000 with Hemifever custom tuning. After I got rid of the truck, I kept the tuner thinking I could sell it, but never did. Now I’m in a 2017 RAM 1500, beginning to look at MODs to do, and I’m trying to decide if I should keep using the T1000...

    New Carrier For Regearing??

    I recently installed new wheels and 33's, and now I'm desperately needing a regear. I have stock 3.55s and want to go to 4.56s. I'll be purchasing new ring and pinion gears as well as install kits for front and rear, but I don't know if I need new carriers. What exactly is a carrier, and do I...

    Bilstein Shock Sleeves

    I just installed Bilstein 4600s on my truck, and the install kit for the fronts had a little metal sleeve with it. The install instructions were complete crap, so I had no idea what it was or what it was for and just didn't use them. Now I've found that the sleeve fits inside the lower bushing...

    Bilstein 4600 Shock Length Concerns

    I order some torsion keys to level the front end of my truck, and bought Bilstein 4600 shocks to replace all 4. Afterwards it dawned on me that the shocks may not fit once the truck is leveled. Does anyone know the length of the front shocks, or know if they'll fit and perform properly with a level?

    Very Poor Brake Pad Wear

    For the past few weeks I've had that awful squeak you get when it's time for new brake pads. I was confused by this as I installed new drilled and slotted rotors and EBC Greenstuff 6000 brake pads last November. I haven't even driven 10,000 miles since install. Today I pulled off my passenger...

    Torsion Keys and Adjustable Shocks

    I'm needing to get new tires soon, and would like to upgrade my wheels and tires to be more aggressive. I want to level the front end to fit the larger tire, but I'm not very familiar with torsion bars. I know I can get keys to level the front end, and I know on 4th gen Rams you can get Bilstein...

    Which CV Axle Brand?

    I'm replacing my hub assemblies, and thought I'd go ahead and replace the CV axles as well. Which brand do y'all recommend? RockAuto has many options, but I'm leading towards Cardone or Empire. Let me know your thoughts, or if there's another brand you prefer.

    Need a diagnosis on a grind/rub feeling

    I had the upper and lower ball joints, and inner and outer tie rod ends replaced on the truck about 3 weeks ago. Now I'm noticing an odd grind/rub feeling in the pedal. No sound, just feeling. I feel it more when the wheels are turned slightly to one way or another. I plan to have another front...

    RTV and Rear Differential Wait Time Help

    I just changed the rear differential fluid on my Ram and the RTV package reads to wait 24 hours before adding fluid or continuing service. Do I really have to wait 24 hours after install before adding fluid and being able to drive? A mechanic friend of mine said he usually lets it cure 30...

    Gibson Shorty Headers on the 4.7L

    I just received my Gibson Shorty Headers today and I can't wait to get them installed! I've had an exhaust leak at the manifold and thought I'd go ahead and upgrade. My dual MagnaFlow High Flow cats also came in. I'll keep yall updated with install and sound clips.

    Which tuner should I get?

    So I found out this morning that the DS Trinity tuner I already had from my previous vehicle will not work for my 2004 1500 with the 4.7L. That means I have to look for a new tuner. These are the mods I plan to do: Airaid CAI Gibson Shorty Headers MagnaFlow HF Cats True Dual Exhaust...

    Will my Diablo Sport work with my 4.7?

    I had a DS Trinity tuner from when I had my 2013 Ram 1500 HEMI. So when I sold it for a 2004 Ram 1500 with the 4.7, I figured I could use it and not have to spend money on a new tuner. But when I hooked it up and tried to change vehicles it didn't offer a 2004 1500. Not even for a HEMI. Can...

    Catch Can on a 4.7L?

    Has anyone installed a catch can on their 4.7? Is it even needed? I do have a Diablo tuner, and I know the catch can was good to have on my old HEMI with the HF tune, but is it the same case with these smaller engines?

    4.7L Mods

    I just bought a 2004 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 4.7L V8, and I'm looking for engine mods. They seems to be tougher to find than it is for the 5.7L Hemis. Do you recommend a TB or CAI? Also (I have been told it won't), do you feel that the 3rd Gen Vararam would fit the 4.7? The TB appears to be in the...

    True Dual Catalytic Converters O2 Question

    I am going to be ordering some Gibson shorty headers and having a true dual exhaust run on my truck. My question is, do both cats have O2 sensors on them, or just 1? I don't want to order 2 cats with O2 bungs if only 1 has it.

    Is a gear swap worth it in a 4.7L

    I have a 2004 1500 4x4 with the 4.7L. I am looking at doing some upgrades while I tune up the truck, and considering upgrading gears. I will eventually put a 4-6" lift with 35's or 37's. I know that is a lot of tire for this engine, so I'm wondering if 4.56 gears would be a good decision. I...

    Officially a 3rd Gen Owner

    After 2 years of owning a 2013 RAM 1500, I finally decided it was time to get rid of my payment and get something I can pay cash for and save. So today I sold my 2013 and bought a 2004 Ram 1500. I'm very excited to have this truck! I've owned every generation except the 3rd. I will post pics and...

    Vararam CAI on a 4.7?

    I am looking to get rid of my truck payments, and may be trading down my 2013 for a 2003 with the 4.7L V8. My question is, will the Vararam HEMI CAI work on the 4.7? I love the look, and would want to try to make it work.

    Passenger Side Tow Mirror Issue

    I recently bought a set of tow mirrors from 1A Auto to upgrade on my truck. Now that I've driven with them for a couple of days I've determined that there's no good setting for the passenger side mirror. It seems as if it's zoomed in, which doesn't allow for a wide enough view to see what you're...

    DiabloSport and HF Tune Help

    Back in July I had to remove my HF tune from the truck to get my tags renewed. Where I live, in order to get your tags renewed you have to pass an emissions test which entails plugging into the OBDII. I was waiting to reload the tune after installing my new air filter in my S&B. Yesterday I...

    33x12.50x20 on Stock Wheels?

    My stock tires are a little too warn for the upcoming winter, so I'm shopping around for new tires. I don't have the funds to upgrade my wheels, but I want a more aggressive tire. I know the stock tires are roughly a 33x11, so my question is will a 33x12.50 be too wide on stock wheels? I know...

    Truck finally in the shop.

    After almost 2 months of looking at parts and considering cost, I finally just decided to have the shop take the truck back to stock after my accident. Dropped it off earlier this week and it's killing me to not have the truck. Luckily I know the shop owner and he's going to correct a few...
