    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...

    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.

After looking at a few things on this forum, I am thinking of getting new spark plugs and doing a throttle body cleaning.

    Best recommendation for rear shocks??

    I have 2007 dodge ram 1500 QC 4x4 5.7 hemi. Just recently passed 100k miles on my truck. Somewhere around 65k-75k I had the front shocks changed at a local shop and I changed the rear myself with basically the cheapest shocks I could get at autozone. Front are still fine, but the ones I got for...

    rear end help PLEASE

    Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 that has been making a whining/growling sound from the rear end. This past weekend we took it apart and found it to be that my pinion bearings were shot (both the inner and outer had huge burs in the bearings). I plan on replacing the 2...
