    Rear end howling/scratching noise

    Dang that sucks. Well what damage has been done there’s probably not a lot of hope for mine I’ve been driving it for a few thousand miles

    Rear end howling/scratching noise

    I’m pretty sure this noise is coming from my rear diff and from research my pinion bearing may be going bad possibly? Has anyone else experienced this noise on their trucks and how much did it cost to fix? In the video I put the truck on jack stands (barely tall enough to get my 35’s off the...

    Will I regret not getting the V8 even if I don’t tow? Debating which truck to get…

    You would be happy with the V6. Easier maintenance and better mpg. The only thing I wouldn’t be happy with is when I start it up in the morning or step on the gas pedal to go fast. Hearing my hemi roar is worth it

    Worth replacing 5.7 hemi engine?

    I just had my lifters and cam replaced last year at a dealer. It was only 5,400 vs 10k for a new motor.

    I had my cam and lifters replaced after #5 went bad at 135k miles on my 2016. I now have 175k miles and it’s still going strong!

    P0305 Cylinder Misfire, Flashing Engine Light @3k rpm HELP I tried a few things

    I hate to say it but this is exactly what my truck did when my lifter went bad and ate my cam. Except I was on cylinder 3. It’s been 50k miles since I had them all replaced and a new cam and the truck runs great. Just wasn’t cheap

    Pentastar vs Hemi, which should you choose?

    The only reason I would buy the v6 is for the easy oil changes. Other than that I pick the hemi all day. Just hate changing its oil because it’s a messy business to that oil filter off and out.

    Cam failures or not. How many miles have you gone?

    2015 1500 5.7 Hemi..... p0308 & p2099

    Man I know this isn’t what you want to hear but I had air fuel mixture code and a bad cylinder 3 misfire above 2500 rpm. My lifter was destroyed and ate my cam up really bad. Cost me 4500 at the dealer to fix because that’s a little outside my expertise. Been 20k miles since the cam and lifter...

    Cylinder 3 misfire help...

    I didn’t get pictures of the lifters but they did replace all of them. As for oil I used 5w-20 castrol edge full synthetic and k&n oil filter changed about every 7k miles. (I drive a lot of highway miles) I had both hemi ticks for a while. Got the exhaust manifold bolts replaced also. She runs...

    Cylinder 3 misfire help...

    I really hope it did. Unfortunately I had to have the dealership do these repairs as it’s a little bit outside my mechanical expertise but they claimed everything looked good. I guess time will tell if anything is else is damaged in there from the metal.

    Cam Failure Poll

    2016 ram 1500. Mine is going under the knife on Wednesday. 130k miles is when It started. Always changed my oil around 7k miles with Castrol edge full full synthetic 5w-20 and a K&N oil filter. I put mostly highway miles in the past 3 years of ownership with some towing of my 6000 lb travel...

    Cylinder 3 misfire help...

    Hello everyone. I have a 2016 ram 1500 5.7 hemi with 130,000 miles. Recently my truck started throwing a P219A code of air fuel mixture imbalance. I knew I had a bad exhaust manifold leak so I had both sides replaced with new exhaust manifold bolts and gaskets at the dealer. Fixed my exhaust...

    Codes P219A and P0305, erratic down shifts and high fuel consumption

    Did you ever get this resolved? My truck is doing the exact same thing. I figured it might be my horrible exhaust header leak. Got all my bolts and seals replaced and I still get the check engine light and driving simile to your truck.

    oil change interval

    I change my oil about every 9k miles on my 2016. Full synthetic with a k&n oil filter has kept it happy for 130k miles no engine problems. Well just had both sides of my exhaust manifold bolts replaced so that wasn’t fun but hopefully she’s good for a while.

    Smittybilt M1 rear bumper on ram 1500

    I’ve never backed into anything with my rear view camera but I’ve been in my fair share of not at fault accidents. But yes it probably will cause carnage to what ever it hits!

    Smittybilt M1 rear bumper on ram 1500

    I honestly don't know how ,much it weighs but it is a good 50 pounds heavier than the stock bumper for sure.

    Smittybilt M1 rear bumper on ram 1500

    Well after getting rear ended last year I finally found the bumper to replace my factory painted bumper. The Smittybilt M1 rear bumper is amazing! I got it on sale for around $800 and it includes reverse led lights. It was super easy to install and I love the way it looks. Good luck to the next...
