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?

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.

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- Ramrob20

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- Ramrob20

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...- Ramrob20
