    Infinity Sound Adaption - INFO

    Being that I never found a definitive write-up for the wiring on an Infinity-equipped truck, I've decided to make my own from my experiences today. This applies to most, if not all 98+ Ram trucks. On most aftermarket radios and wiring adapter harnesses, they will tell you that the wire...

    A/C Drain...not draining

    So as some of you know, I've been fighting this on and off for the past month or so. The A/C drain is not draining where it needs to be. I've tried cleaning it out to no avail, I get plenty of air out the hole which tells me it's not stopped up but here's what it's doing: When the HVAC is...

    Claying before compounding/polishing?

    So I've yet to do my yearly detail, and I recently bought a dual action polisher and was wondering if I needed to clay before I compounded or not? I know you want all the contaminants out of the paint, but if you're going to be "roughing" it up with compound, does it really matter?

    TYC Headlight Beam Issues

    So I put new TYC headlight housings in my dad's truck last week with GE Nighthawk bulbs. Quite frankly, the beam pattern is shitty, even when aimed correctly. Peak beam intensity isn't oblong like the OE housings, it's kinda jagged almost. Low beam on the road is OKAY, but not great, still has...

    Trans. Temp Gauge install kits

    I'd like to install a trans. temp gauge this spring or summer and I'd like to know who all has one and how they mounted it. I really would rather not use a test port in my trans case or hack up a hardline. I've seen where guys have spliced into the rubber cooler line and it's worked just fine...

    Seatbelt light on at weird times

    Okay, this has been a weird since I've owned the truck. The seat belt light has NEVER worked since I've had it, but it will turn on at weird times during cold weather. For instance: I was driving back from the eye doctor today and the light just randomly turned on, stayed on for about a minute...

    Excessive Coolant Burp in bottle

    So just about every Friday, I pop the hood and give dad's truck a quick once over. I've been noticing as of late that there has been excessive coolant burpage on the de-gas bottle. Now, by this I mean I can see where the cap let out hot coolant and it dried on the black bottle. Truck runs...

    9005s in fogs- Who has em?

    Trying to figure out if I want to just put good 9006 bulbs in dad's fogs or if I wanna modify some 9005s and drop those in instead. Who is running 9005s in their stock fogs and has been for a while? Noticed any wiring or switch issues?

    Late shifting when warm

    I've noticed as of late that if I drive my truck around town a bit and it gets fully warmed up, it revs way higher than it should before shifting. Like, it holds the gear until I lift and let it shift. I did pull the TV cable 1/8th in back a while back, but that never made it behave this way...

    265/75 vs 285/75 as spare

    So I called the local tire place that sells a lot of used tires and they don't have any 285/75's and don't stock them. What would happen if I used a 265/75 as a spare instead? I know you don't want to mix sizes on these trucks, but it would be a spare...... Input?

    What do you guys think of this?

    So I found this on one of my FB groups: http://www.tstproducts.com/Torque%20Converter%20Lockup%20Switch.pdf I like the thought of reducing slip in the transmission and reducing temperatures....my big thing is the "may be hard on drivetrain" and the hacking up of factory wiring....

    NGK V-power vs stock-spec Champions

    I'm thinking about swapping my stocker Champions to some ZR6F-11 V-powers and was wondering if anyone else had swapped pretty much new Champions for NGKs. Logic says the groove splits the spark so it more evenly burns the fuel....thereby increasing idle quality and mileage. yey? ney?

    Infinity head spitting CDs out

    So my stock head is spitting my CDs back at me and saying "Err" when it does it. Doesn't even sound like it's trying to spin up even. The owners manual says that "Err" can indicate that, among other things, there could be moisture on the optic.....problem is, I shot canned air in there to blow...

    Finally modding!

    As some of you know, I went to the salvage yard today to pick up a throttle body to cut and make a 50mm and an air hat. Here is my bounty before cleaning: That is quite likely the dirtiest TB I've ever seen. Considering how hard it was to take apart I don't think it has ever...

    Okay, I'm stuck: Quick Disconnect problem

    So I bought a set of metal quick disconnect tools to remove the trans. cooler line so I can delete the check valve. Well, I'm having the same problem with these tools that I did with the el cheapo plastic one I had bought last year: it doesn't physically fit into the QD fitting. Don't have a...

    Cleaner wax vs Regular paste wax?

    Finally going to step up my waxing game a little bit this year because I'm tired of my "waxes" not lasting more than 3 weeks at the best. So I'm thinking of either getting cleaner wax or a hardshell carnuba or something. Keep in mind, the truck is 16 years old and parts of the paint aren't the...

    Trans. Filter Question

    So I'm going to be changing the trans. fluid in my dad's truck sometime this spring/summer and was looking at filters. There are 3 different filters for the 45RFE: two pan filters, one for a deep and one for a shallow pan and a spin on filter. Looks like the "flat" filters are correct, but which...

    Re-attaching MOPAR bug deflector?

    Well, some shithead had yanked on dad's bug deflector saturday night at work and it got torn off by the car wash today. He went back to get it and it's in good shape, but the hardware isn't and I don't know how to reattach it since it looks like the inserts that were on it will not stay in...
