    Hemi Tick Covered under warranty - Should i fix it?

    Hey Guys. So i have the Hemi Tick. It's pretty annoying. It didn't start until about 50k miles. Cold, warm, doesn't matter - it's loud. Coincidentally at the same time it started consuming about 1/2 quart every 3000 miles or so. Anyone think it's related? Anyways i have extended Mercury...

    Low Oil?

    okay so it's been two oil changes. Here's what seems to happen. Holds solid for about 3000 miles. I mean i measure it weekly, almost daily. I note where the level sits. I measure it in the same place everytime. Fully cooled down. Then right about 3000 miles it appears to consume about 1/2...

    Low Oil?

    Thanks for all the info guys. I'll report back in a few thousand miles and over my next few oil changes. I really can't believe that all of a sudden my truck is consuming 3/4 quart of oil. Like a i said, for the last 2 years it's been steady, no consumption every time i check at fill up. Now...

    Low Oil?

    Thanks HemiHustlin! Previously i have always run standard non synthetic 5-20. Whatever was a good deal at autozone. This is the first time i have run fully sythetic 5-20, as i have developed the 'Hemi Tick' and read that penziol plat full syn could eliminate it. It did not. Yes, there was...

    Low Oil?

    Hey Guys. Would like to get some input. Went to check my oil this morning and for the first time ever, it was about 3/4 of a quart low and I'm scratching my head here. It's a 2007 1500 quad cab hemi 4x4 with only 55k miles. For the first time ever i put full synthetic penzoil...

    Spark Plug Change DIY

    Great thanks guys. So your saying to pull the hoses out of the way by pulling the bracket (that holds them) straight out of the firewall? I gave an easy tug and it certainly did not seem like it wanted to come out. I'd really hate to brake that piece. usually these types of clips have a...

    Spark Plug Change DIY

    Hello - Here are a few images. the image with the wrench in it is from the original post. doesnt' look like he had to move the 2 heater hoses (i assume thats what they are), but the clearance looks pretty tight, especially considering the boots are ~4" long - how did he clear it? and i don't...

    Spark Plug Change DIY

    Hey guys. Great write up and info! Question - the passenger side cylinder bank, very last cylinder closest to the firewall - it sure looks like those 2 heater hoses will be impossible to clear!! Ah! They sit about an inch or so above the coil pack. And they are held there by a funny looking...

    Front Diff Gasket?

    Hey Guys. Noob here. Gonna change the front diff fluid tonight. I bought a new gasket, but it looks like it doesn't have a gasket - just silicon sealant. Should i just use the silicon or the actual gasket i purchased? Hopefully the fasteners are long enough to use the actual gasket ...

    Coolant Level Low?? Head Gasket??

    Hey HLram. After thinking about it a little more, how does the water evaporate out of the system? How does it get out - isn't it a sealed system? Or is there an overflow tube that vents to atmosphere?

    Coolant Level Low?? Head Gasket??

    Thanks HLram. Hopefully your right and i'm just being paranoid thinking its a head gasket. What i really need to do is drive it more and monitor it more closely. I did check the radiator as well, as it was full up to the cap. Thanks again.
