    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    Yea I tend to think it’s odd that that’s the only thing messed up and I really don’t see any signs of “battery acid” anywhere on top of the tank... looks like some defective brittle plastic to me... How did you know yours was all cracked? Part of me is a bit worried with all the cracks that I...

    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    In the opinions of the experts on this forum, do you think this is from my battery Acid spill or a defective part from the factory? Also, should I replace with OEM, or is there a good aftermarket one that y’all would recommend since I have to replace anyway? thanks for all the help so far!

    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    I finally got a chance to pull the tank, definitely found the culprit, also definitely not what I was expecting. the entire white plastic top of (what I’m pretty sure is the fuel pump) has cracks all over like a spider web...

    Battery acid/Gas tank nightmare

    Ok kinda long backstory but hopefully someone has some ideas that can steer me in the right direction. I have a 2017 1500 Laramie 5.7 gas 4x4. A few weeks back my battery seemed to be on its last leg so I put in a new one from autozone. I kept the old one (another long story that would need...

    My 2007 overdue tune up

    My first and WAY overdue tune-up was a success, just wanted to say thanks for all the info I have found from all on this forum. I changed 15/16 of the plugs on my 07 hemi, and cleaned the throttle body. I ended up buying the magnetic swivel 5/8” sparkplug wrench from auto-zone. It worked...

    Fuel use

    I've ran 87 in my 07 for 103k miles now. With a real lack of maintenance on my engine (I know... i feel bad, but after joining the forum i have learned so much), knock on wood i have not had any issues with my hemi.

    will or is my pinion nut tight enough????

    A couple months ago I had to change out the pinion bearings on my 07 1500 4X4 with 9.25 axle. I know the situation is a bit different but maybe some of my ideas can help you out. I’ll start with the easy question- mine had the orange sealant on the diff cover and that was the first time I had...

    some help customizing?

    I guess I'm an oddball, but I like chrome too... However, I will say that you can also have TOO MUCH chrome on a truck. I think a level with some aggressive tires would make it stand out, (that's what I want to do with mine when I get the money down the road) I also have a blue ram with...

    spark plug boot question

    OK thanks, I went to take the first coil off and it was really hard to pry off and didn't want to break anything. I figured if I put something on them on reinstall, then next time they might not be as difficult.

    Spectre CAI and spark plugs

    How many miles did you have on your plugs LS5DodgeRam? Did you have any issues with them coming out? I am about to change mine and I know mine are way way way overdue.

    spark plug boot question

    I am about to attempt the 5.7 spark plug change for the first time. My question is if I should put any type of di-electric grease or other lube on the plug boots (coming off of the coil) after I install the new plugs? Thanks for any advice.

    Question and concern...

    so how concerned should I be about getting electrical components wet with the garden hose and soap? Hell most of everything in the engine bay is electrical it seems.

    Question and concern...

    I wanted to tune up my truck and know that my throttle body needs cleaning desperately. I began by taking off the stock air intake system. Then I got a little worried about some oil i found in the air resonator box. My question is what does this sensor do (first pic)? My concern is about...

    good or bad idea???

    Thanks for the info! Ever since I joined this forum I have acquired a huge wishlist that does not have the funds to support it haha! I do love learning a ton about my truck on this forum though.

    good or bad idea???

    Is it beneficial or a complete waste to get a cold air intake with stock exhaust on a hemi?

    tune up suggestions

    5.7 tune up suggestions?? I want to do a tune up on my 5.7 hemi that is way over-due for one. After looking at a few things on this forum, I am thinking of getting new spark plugs and doing a throttle body cleaning. I have about 100K on my engine in my 07 1500 and want to keep it running strong...

    Looking at the 3rd generation

    I believe the 3rd generation is from 2002-2008 and you can get them in either a reg or quad cab. the 4th gen (2009 and up) has the true crew cab which is alot bigger than the 3rd gen quad cab. I have a 2007 quad cab and is big enough to ride around with me, the wife, and 2 fairly big dogs

    5100 Bilsteins Installed

    OK thanks, I have about 100K on my truck, changed the stock shocks around 65k. I let a local shop do the fronts back then b/c they looked intimidating. However, when I change them again I would like to do them myself. Is there any special tools I would need or any words of advice on tackling the...

    5100 Bilsteins Installed

    Does the 06 and 07 have the same front suspension on the 4x4? I have an 07 and def need new rear shocks but may attempt to try the front ones before too long
