    Driver's side interior light dead. Easy or cheap to fix/replace ?

    I'm looking at a 2015 1500 sport crew cab. I noticed that the interior light on the driver's side is dying and literally useless. This will BUG me to no end. I'd like to know what I'm looking at as far as repair or replacement will cost. Can the unit be takin out and replaced or like the whole...

    Single valve y-pipe cutout VS two valve Y pipe cut out.

    It wasn't an easy decision to make but I went with shorty headers keeping the original cats and went with an aftermarket split exhaust. Yes I know there is little gain w shorties and I wld be better off w long tubes but like I said a decision needed to be made. I am interested in getting rid of...

    Single valve y-pipe cutout VS two valve Y pipe cut out.

    Yeah fully aware that there is no power gain. I got a new cam, tune and torque converter for that. Now I want a bit more rumble at the light. I was just looking to see if anyone has experience with the two value cut out. My one thought was it might sound a bit more louder if the pipe to the...

    Single valve y-pipe cutout VS two valve Y pipe cut out.

    So I decided to put a cutout on my exhaust. While researching for a product I came across two styles. The traditional one valve cut out, where when the valve opens for the dump, some exhaust still goes to the muffler and tailpipe, and a newer two valve cut out, where when the dump valve opens...

    Base Dyno pull, 311.6hp @5500, Mx Tq 324.4 @ 4550 . Honest opinion.

    Starting at 7 Grand, that's actually not a bad price at all.

    My pocketbook would probably be more in the range of used or rebuilt if the cost of a rebuild wasn't too much or if it wasn't too far from New then I guess I would go new. At least the PCM would just need a tune and not to be replaced.

    Not sure what a 6.4 wld cost plus, install also wld I need a new CPU? So far I've only got about 850 bucks or so into it with Shorty headers, cat back system and Vera Ram air Grabber Cai. I got my throttle body for free so that was a bonus. The brake shop estimated $750 for rotors and pads all...

    Base Dyno pull, 311.6hp @5500, Mx Tq 324.4 @ 4550 . Honest opinion.

    Actually I believe it is rated at 395 with 410 lb of torque. But I think that is at the flywheel and not RWHP. But I'm a novice and I definitely could be wrong. However I did read someone mentioning about 290-320 horsepower at RWHP for stock.

    Base Dyno pull, 311.6hp @5500, Mx Tq 324.4 @ 4550 . Honest opinion.

    I did consider long tubes. Trust me I really wanted a pair. However, a few factors made me go w shorties. I wont go catless. Failed a emission test once because of that. So after that I keep it legal. Yes I had to consider the cost of a new cat system and compared to a cat back dual exhaust from...

    Inside the air cleaner- that's ingenious! I have a 17' Tradesman and was sold as a fleet vehicle. It came with the ugly steel 17" rims, with 265/70R/17 tires. They're very much near the end of tread life and i want to get something that will grip better but don't know where to start. I didnt...

    She's a sled w a bed cap on the back. I got her so that I can put my two man boat in the back and close the cap. This way when it rains overnight my boat will be dry in the morning. I don't expect to win any races against Camaros or Mustangs. I'm just trying to get to the lake quicker. LOL I'm...
