    black paint.

    LOOKING FOR LED HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS / WHAT BRAND?

    i have the supernova V.4 in my factory projectors, i couldn't me more pleased with them. compared to the halogen there are a good bit brighter and project further in my opinion. the only thing you may have to do is re-aim the beam pattern when you install them, measured from the floor to the...

    Chirp chirp chirp

    Oil Filter Torque

    hand tighten, grab the end of the filter with your finger tips and tighten as tight as you can get it that way, for piece of mind after that go 1/4 turn with your palm after that. been doing this for years never had a leak, plus you can always get it off when time to change it.

    2013 Ram 1500 lower Ball joints

    Lowers are press fit, the uppers are non serviceable, but there is no camber adjustment for the upper control arms so it’s literally a simple swap. i just did my upper control arms and with the spindle being forged aluminum and the ball joint being steel, as I loosened up the ball joint it...

    Ball stud on control arm

    just double checked, I was correct it is the height control sensor for the rams with the air suspension. i just changed my upper control arms with Moog ones and they didn't even have them on there, but was a simple swap over. i don't have the air suspension so i didn't even worry about swapping...

    Ball stud on control arm

    I'm not 100 percent certain, but i think that is where a sensor for the air suspension clips to to monitor ride height.

    Advice needed, Black Truck

    i would say vinegar and water in a spray bottle after cleaning in a sheltered area, it is a natural cleaner. i would suggest maybe vinegar with a clay bar, i don't know how well with a towel will work you might marr the paint. i have used to clean glass and i had to get a little aggressive with...

    Cleaning after a weekend of wet gravel roads

    Adams All Purpose cleaner, followed by Super VRT. i used this about a month ago for the first time and i was amazed at how easy it is to use. the super VRT goes on with more of a Matte shine and looks great but im not a fan of shinny tires.

    How I wash my Ram...

    im not saying its right or wrong but i would advise against the leaf blower, which i will say it is better than a drying towel because you run less risk of rubbing particulates into the paint surface. but using a leaf blower the air is not filtered like any of the air blasters they offer for...
