    Snugtop fitment question

    That looks real nice and what I was hoping for! This shell was only $100 so I may just try and shave it down to not rub.

    Snugtop fitment question

    I thought maybe but it has the correct glass that seals around the rounded shape of the 4th gen tailgate. I think the shapes of the back of the quad vs crew cab are different.

    Snugtop fitment question

    Just bought a SnugTop for my 2014 1500 quad cab and after getting home it doesn’t seem to line up right. The guy I bought it from had a 2018 2500 but I assumed it would be the same bed? The top corners contact the cab before the topper is all they way forward, it needs to be go another 3/4in...

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    I have a 2014 Ram with the 8.4uconnect that is failing. I have access to a 8.4uconnect out of a 2020 Ram that looks like the below picture. Would this work in my 2014 (just the radio obviously, not the trim)? The part number is 68428539AC

    Push rod out too far to install rocker arm

    Finishing up my cam/lifter replacement and I'm stuck on the driver side push rod/rocker arm install. The passenger side went smooth but on the driver side the #5 cylinder intake and exhaust push rods are out about 1/4'' further than the rest and don't allow me to seat the arm down properly. I...

    VVT Solenoid Metal Flakes

    Doing a cam/lifter swap and was told to pull the VVT to see if it’s “clogged” with metal shavings. This obviously isn’t clogged, maybe 10-15 very small pieces. Is this enough to be concerned? https://imgur.com/a/vwRSjrs

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    Update after getting the heads off. Here is cylinder 3 lifter for anyone curious. I havent got the cam out but I'm sure its toast too. Ordered MMX no tune cam, "hellcat" lifters, tuner, and all the supporting gaskets and will get it back on the road.

    Do you have a part number for the update solenoid? Anything I can find online has the same part number from 09-23. Thanks

    Its not possible an exhaust leak is causing a misfire correct? haha

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    Thanks for this, I had no idea. I plan on repairing the truck and having it for awhile. Just have to decide on what parts to use. Since it’s apart I’d like to upgrade/get some more hps out of it if I can.

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    This (louder than the normal engine ticking) started happening the other day and I'm very curious what everyone opinion is. I drive this truck 100+ miles a day for work and really hoping its a quicker manifold fix rather than loosing the truck for a few weeks for the cam/lifters. For context, I...

    Longevity for the 5.7L

    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7L and I just hit 140,000 miles and would like to keep the truck another 5-7 years (another ~150,000 miles) is that possible? What are some preventative items I can start working through? I just did the water pump, thermostat, and flush. Appreciate the conversation

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    1. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, coolant and belt with all genuine MOPAR parts. 2. I made sure the thermostat was clocked correctly (pin at top) 3. This morning I removed the bleed screw and sender unit to confirm there was no air sitting behind the thermostat (there...

    Absolutely, but I must have missed that. Where can I find it?

    2014 RAM 1500 Express Crew Cab

    Great truck man! I am getting things together for my lift/leveling and curious how much total lift you got out of the 2.5" JT spings. Reading your posts it seems like 3.5''? Id like to sit about an inch lower in the rear than yours and thinking of going with Icon 1.5'' JT springs. Thanks for...

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    The radiator cap was off so that any air burped when the thermostat opened. And yes I agree the thermostat did open, hadn’t had enough coffee this morning when I typed that. I guess this thermo just opens a little hotter than the other. Still don’t know why it’s jumping up to 221* randomly when...

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    Did some troubleshooting this morning. Ive determined that I don't think the thermostat is opening, let me know if you agree. 1. Confirmed no more air in system (best I could). 2. Filled reservoir tank to correct height (it was empty) 3. Let truck idle with radiator cap off and heat on. 4...

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    It was a Mopar brand. I could try a new tstat. What should readings relatively be with a temp gun on the hoses? EDIT: At idle and truck up to temp (203*) the top hose is ~155* and the bottom hose is ~110*

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    I know, took a risk since it was out of the budget at the time. Can't believe how expensive they are!

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    The water pump went out 3 months ago on my 2014 Ram Hemi at about 135,000. I replaced it with a MOPAR pump, thermostat and coolant. Prior to it going, the truck would run about 199-203 and since replacing it, it runs about 204-208. And it will also randomly run all the way up to 221 until the...
