    Pwm fan in 4th gen

    Here’s my official write up. This write up is for a 2015-2017 as I have not been able to confirm the wiring or canbus signal is the same on other 4th gens. When you order the module you must specifically tell them it is for a ram truck. It will operate the 4th gen pentastar fan as well. They...

    Wideband o2

    Took me long enough to finally install this. Had it for over a year sitting in my garage. Plx wideband in the single a pillar gauge pod. Yes. The welds are crap. That’s what happens when you use stainless flux core and a harbor freight welder. Nobody local wanted to weld it for me so I decided...

    Pwm signal pinout

    Anyone know the pinout location for the pentastar for the pwm signal to the radiator fan? I’m going to try going through Alfaobd to set the fan type. Also if you have the v6 pentastar 13 and newer can you go in your Alfaobd and find the fan type and see what it’s currently set as? I’ll get more...

    5th gen radiator fan assembly

    Can someone with the 850w fan please post a picture of the plug assembly. And what fuse size is the fan? Looking to try and wire one up in a 4th gen so doing some research. The 4th gen pentastar fan is not currently available and not sure if it will be back anytime soon. If you have a 5.7 tow...

    Finally getting around to doing my thermostat after deleting the trans heater. I’ll do a full write up after finished. Waiting on a couple more fittings and some more hose.

    To lift or not?

    Alright so going against all my original ideas here but I’m contemplating a 4” lift kit and ordering new fox front coilovers at the same time and going to 1” over for a 5” lift front and purchasing 3” rear gladiator springs. I may do the 2” lift blocks and keep my eibach springs for a bit...

    Bilstein 5160 rear shock

    50$ plus shipping. Has about 5000 miles on it. Only have 1. The other leaked and couldn’t get a replacement in time so I had swapped to fox 2.0. These are the extended length 1”-2.5” rear lift version not for stock rear springs. I ran them with eibach springs and 1/2” lift spacers. No shaft...

    Tire pressure sensor

    My tire pressure light started flashing at me the other day then went solid as if one of the sensors is failing but after a couple drives the light went out. Not sure which one is failing? Truck was bought December 2016 and has original sensors. Any way to tell or wait for it to fully go bad...

    Clunking sound

    Been chasing a clunk sound for a couple weeks or so. Have not found it but found 1 thing that may be my culprit. So it feels/sounds like metal to metal shifting and tapping each other but it’s not fully repetitive to where I can duplicate it by any one scenario. It happens when the truck weight...

    Custom sway bar setup?

    Pros and cons of installing a custom sway bar setup? Looking at an anti rock sway bar kit with a 45” wide bar. It would be possible to mount the bar to the frame immediately behind the tow hook bars and use their 16” long arms with custom bars to attach to our LCA. Heim on top and something...

    Front sway bar links

    Should I extend these? That definitely looks off to me. Installing my long tubes and noticed they look really stressed at full droop. May try using a piece of 1/2” plate at the bottom on the lower control arm to push the link up. Both sides look the same but I may need to tighten the driver side...

    Bilstein 6112

    Poly bushing grease

    A bit expensive but best grease I have found for poly bushings. It’s ptfe/silicone based grease designed for poly bushings specifically. stuff is tacky. Will not come off your hands. Used it on my front and rear sway bar bushings. Plan on pulling my control 4x4 rear sway bar links and using this...

    Custom rocker guards/steps

    I will be building my own rocker guards/steps in the near future so I am starting a thread for anyone interested. Instead of frame mounted sliders I am planning on just building some overly built steps that will double as rocker guards. Eventually I will end up modifying my design and build...

    Bilstein 6112 springs

    Nobody makes direct fit springs like how the eibach springs fit the 5100. I’m debating on emailing eibach about having a set of springs made for the 6112. I know based on provided info that they are 550lb springs. I don’t know length on them but am interested in finding something longer and...

    Sway bar end links

    So I know it’s a subject that gets some shade but I’m looking for front quick disconnect sway bar links. I’m sure some Jeep links may work but I’m not familiar with what I’m looking. I’m trying to find one that replaces the ball with a bushing so I can utilize a pull pin. I’m planning on using...

    How to hide the antenna?

    I want to install the aev snorkel kit on my truck and would like to hide the antenna instead of cutting out the hole to relocate it. Is there a way to hide it either in the passenger A pillar or somewhere that’s not worthless? I do use my radio on fm quite a bit. I know there is a connector...

    Air conditioner acting up “fixed”

    Ok. It’s been pretty hot and humid here in south Florida. My ac has cut off sporadically a few times during this heat. It’s usually only for a few seconds as I’m the only one that notices. I can smell a humid smell through the ac vents when it happens so I know the ac shut off. I’ve done some...

    Rear bump stops

    I’m currently looking at swapping my rear bump stops. It’s not required since I’m only lifted 1” and my rear extended bilstein shocks are not long enough to cause any issues. I see the sumo springs and they look nice. Anyone have experience with them off-roading? Don’t want to hurt my suspension...
