    Emissions Fail Due To Readiness Monitors

    I took my 2010 1500 in today to have the safety and emissions inspections and it was failed due to 2 readiness monitors, (Catalytic Converter and O2 Sensor) not being complete. Now, I haven't done anything recently to the truck and have driven probably several thousand miles since the last time...

    Anyone had TIPM problems

    Has anyone had or heard of the TIPM (totally integrated power module) or the fuse box having problems? It can cause random horn blasts, widows rolling down, fuel pump overheating and/or not turning off when the truck turns off and a whole host of other things. I think mine may have a problem...

    Which Brakes

    I'm gonna tackle my brakes this weekend and just wanted to get some thoughts on the different types (metallic, ceramic, etc.) that are available. Which do you guys prefer? I don't like noise and I don't want tons of dust either. Also, what are your thoughts on slotted/cross-drilled rotors? I...

    Dyno results underwhelming

    So I did two pulls with my truck on a Dyno today. The results are kind of disappointing. Max HP 329 and Max Torque 344 ft. lbs. I was kind of thinking with my mods I'd be a little higher than that. What do you guys think?

    Sport vs. SLT

    This may be a silly question but I'll ask anyway. What are the differences between a Sport trim level and a SLT? Is it just the color matched bumpers and the hood? What I'm getting to is I have a 2010 SLT Big Horn and I really like the hood on the Sport. Just wondering if I'd have any trouble...

    Stalling with HF tune

    So its been a while since I bought my trinity and an HF tune. Has anyone had any issues where when taking a turn from one street to another, it feels like the throttle is stalled or bogged out? Almost unresponsive. Then when you give it a little gas, it drops to a lower gear and zips off? It...

    Sunroof Issues

    So I noticed that my sunroof wasn't closing flush with the roof and was letting a little water in during rains so I decided to do a little research. What I found was directions on how to recalibrate a jeep sunroof which were the same as the calibration instructions for a SRT and since I could...

    Header headache

    It's been a while since I've posted anything but I think I am finally ready to seriously start looking into headers. My question is, what kind of gains or improvements should I expect from a set of Shorty headers? On a sidenote, I have noticed a drop in mpg since the 180 T-stat and a feeling...

    Horn Honks when.....

    I have a very strange problem. When sitting at idle if I turn the air conditioner on, the horn starts honking! It doesn't happen all the time. I know it's the horn because I unplugged the wire from the horn itself and it stops. Plug it back in and it is still honking. Any ideas? Please help...

    Diablo Data Log Issues

    Ok guys. I am going to try and explain this as best I can. I have been noticing on my Trinity while monitoring I am picking up KNK ST Retard.

    Loss of MPG

    So I recently took my girl in to the dealer and they replaced the back two bolts on the manifold which took care of the leak. One of the tell take signs I had an exhaust leak, besides the ticking sound, was the sudden loss of MPG. Everything went great for a while and MPG's improved. We'll fast...

    How do you organize your iPod for easier navigation using the Uconnect?

    So I have a 2010 1500 with Uconnect. In the upper glove box there is a factory wire that plugs into an iPod. The issue I have is since I have close to 10,000 songs on my iPod it takes forever and a day to find a specific song. The uconnect does have a search alphabetically feature but but only...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I've been noticing a ticking sound when I cold start my truck. It usually goes away after about a minute or so. Once the truck is warmed up it is almost nonexistent until I open the hood and then I can hear it. I guess my question is, 1. how difficult is this to fix and 2. Do you think this...
