    Replacing starter

    Hey all, Long time no post. I tried to tackle replacing my starter today, but I ran into some trouble. Every video I watched shows only two bolts in the rear to get it loose. Mine is not coming loose, but it does have a stud as well that isn’t shown in the videos. Does the stud need to come...

    Electrical Grelim Issue

    Hi all. My 2012 Ram 1500 has been acting weirdly over the last week. I’ll be driving along when I hear a chime, the service tire system error pops up, and then changes to the driver unbuckled error. All the while, several dash lights are on, my low beam turn on themselves, my wiper blades turn...

    Trailer Sway Control or WDH?

    Hey guys, I am getting closer to buying my first travel trailer. I am staying on the smaller side between 3k and 4k pounds empty. A travel trailer group I am apart of says I might be able to get away with just the trailer sway control since the trailer won't be too heavy. What are your...

    Newbie looking to buy a TT

    Hey guys, Up to this point, I have been hauling my RZR and ATV with a 20 foot flatbed trailer. I am now in the market for a travel trailer, and I could use some help in determining what weight I should stay under. I have a 2012 1500 4x4 with the 3.92 gears. I am trying to understand GVWR, GCWR...

    Anyone with lift have air bags?

    I am looking for air bags to help with sag when I tow. Would the Air Lift bags for stock height trucks work? I have a Zone 6" lift on my Ram. I have used Air Lift in the past, but it was on a stock height Ram.

    Do Zone 6" lift kits use the same rear shocks?

    Does anyone know if the Zone 6" lift kits use the same rear shocks regardless of the 3" or 5" rear springs? One of my rear shocks is already blown, and I am looking to upgrade.

    Service 4WD Light

    Hey all, I've had my truck for 3 years now, and after a trip to Colorado in very snowy/icy conditions, my service 4WD light is on for the first time last night. I presume my connector is wet. With this being my first 4WD truck, I am unsure of where to locate the connector to check. Any pointers...

    Towing 20' Trailer...Bouncing Like Crazy

    Hi guys, I usually tow my ATV on my single axle 8x10 utility trailer without any issue. I just picked up a 4-seater RZR and rented a dual axle 20' trailer to tow both of them. Towing it empty on the freeway between 50 and 70 mph, I was bouncing everywhere inside my cab. I presume it will be...

    09-12 Canadian Rams, DRL's, and Headlight Swaps

    Any 09-12 Canadian Ram's out there that updated to the 13 projector headlights? If so, does the DRL stay active? My truck came from Canada, so the DRL's are active. I really don't care for them and have been looking at doing the 13 projector swap. The codes for activating the DRL is different...

    Finally done with my truck!!

    With the suspension at least. I got my Zone 6" lift installed yesterday! Stats on the lift: FR: 45" FL: 45" RR: 46" RL: 45 5/8" Fox coilovers with 2" of preload. I opted for the Zone kit has the 5" rear coils with nitro shocks. Pictures don't do it justice. It makes the 35's look...

    Security Camera for my 4th Gen

    I have to park my Ram on the street most days as I can't block my other rides in the garage. We have had a rash of punk kids vandalizing cars in the neighborhood. I am looking to hook up security cameras and have leaned towards motion detection ones. That way I don't use up hard drive space...

    New Wheels

    I got my new wheels in today. The tires arrive tomorrow. They are 285/75/18 (35x11.50). My front end with the Fox coilovers keeps fluctuating around 38" so hopefully it is enough clearance. Stock height was 36".

    No power to radio

    I have a set of Pyle headrest DVD players tapped into my radio's acc wire. One of the harnesses for the DVD players got damaged so I had to swap it out. As soon as I swapped the harness I lost power to my Pioneer head unit. My 2012 shows fuse M12, which is still good. The fuse on the head...

    Recommendations on enclosure

    I am looking for recommendations on enclosures for my crew cab. I am just looking for something small (single 8, 10 or 12). I lost too much hearing as a teen (2 12 JL Audio in a coupe) so I don't need window shattering bass. I know some enclosures require removing the storage bin and raising the...

    Questions for those with Fox 2.0 Coilovers

    Has anyone tried adjusting the pre-load on the Fox coilovers to get more than 2 inches of lift? I just picked up a 4x4 Ram and want to add ~4 inches up front. Another thought would be to get Bils set at 2.8 and run a 1.5" leveling kit. I've had Bils set on the top perch on other trucks I've...

    New battery...now no A/C

    Hey guys, I had to replace my DuraLast Platinum under warranty for the 3rd time in 3 years. Typically, I get the clicking sound and some lights, but this thing was completely dead. I swapped it out with a replacement, but now my A/C is not working. If any of you have swapped out your radio...

    LED Windshield Brackets - Wind Noise

    Hey all, I have a set of CJC 50" brackets on my Ram, and the wind noise is driving me crazy!! I have watched videos and lurked on various forums, but none of the workarounds resolve the issue. I have now spent a small fortune at Home Depot on all of these DIY fixes. As soon as I hit ~30...

    Towing Question

    Truck Rocking Issue

    Hi all, I towed a 6x12 enclosed trailer this weekend and had one heck of a time on the highway. Each time I hit a small dip in the road, my truck would rock side to side like I was in a boat in choppy waters. I already upgraded my rear shocks to the Fox 2.0 shocks, so I know that shouldn't be...

    About to give up...rear shocks!

    I know this topic has come up before, but for the life of me I cannot get to the nut on the top shock bolt. I am no expert but do know some things (installed my own spindle lift). I am tempted to throw in the towel at this point and pay the stealership $200 to install them. Is my problem that...

    Free .50 Cal Antenna - Pay It Forward!

    I have a .50 cal stubby antenna from Craven Speed that I am giving away. The radio reception is not the greatest with it, but it would be perfect for anyone running satellite radio. First come, first serve. All I ask is for you to pay it forward to someone else. And positive feedback too...

    Coil Spring Compressor Recommendation - 2WD

    For anyone that has installed leveling kits or installed lift coils on 2WD Rams, what coil spring compressors did you use? This is the first time I have dealt with a truck that has coil springs (used to having trucks with the 4WD Ram setups). AutoZone gave me strut compressors which only...
