    Not taking full tank of gas

    Anyone have any ideas on why my truck isn't taking a full tank of gas? It's been topping out at 23 gallons the last 3 fill ups - and I know this isn't full because my fuel gauge isn't as high as it normally is and all 3 have been with the fuel light on. Also noticed my gas mileage has gotten...

    2008+ 4.7 Catch Can

    Looking for some opinions or advice on a catch can for a 2008+ 4.7. I read through the other thread regarding 4.7 catch cans, but the set up is a little different on a 2008. The tube that runs from the PCV to the intake is this part #: 53032856AB. I took it off and both sides look the exact...

    Evap Smoke Test?

    Got the P0456 code again and I'm at the point of building a smoke tester to smoke the evap system to find supposed leak. Where should I pump the smoke into the system at? Anything I should block off during the test? The truck is an 2008 with the 4.7, if it makes a difference. Thanks!

    Carpet Deep Cleaning

    Bought used carpet that has some stains in it. What’s the best way to get stains out while it’s out of the truck? Best cleaning solution? Don’t really care about them being completely gone, just better. Any advice is helpful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Puff of black smoke

    Looking for some help. A few weeks back, a friend told me when I punched it on the highway my truck puffed a little black smoke. I had someone else start it while I was watching and there was a light puff (blink and you miss it) out the pipe on start up. I cleaned out the pipe with a paper...

    Lifetime powertrain warranty repair

    Anybody have to utilize the lifetime powertrain warranty coverage for repairs before, and if so did it go smoothly? Curious because our 2008 has the coverage and it is burning or losing a quite a bit of oil, every few fill ups it ends up at the low fill line and have to top it off. Planning on...

    2008 4.7: Weak

    I have noticed that my 08 Ram with the 4.7 is pretty sluggish pulling a trailer. I’m talking it struggles to pull a boat back up the boat ramp (18 ft boat). Seems to take a lot of gas pedal work to get it up. Maybe this is normal, but I’m just not happy with the performance of this engine. Is a...

    AC Issues: Electrical?

    Not really sure if this is the correct spot in the forum for this, as I believe it is an electrical fault. Ever since I got my truck, turning the modes on the AC would have a really long delay and sometimes would not work at all. I am talking switching from AC blowing at your head to switching...

    Water under back seat?

    Curious if anyone else has had this issue. I have a 2008 Ram 1500. A few weeks back, I went under my back seat to get a towel I leave under there and noticed it was a little damp. Didn't think much about it. This week, we got a ton of rain, and I went back under the seat and there was almost 1/2...

    Weird Popping Noise

    Hey everyone. I am experiencing a weird noise from my 2008 Ram 1500 2WD 4.7. At low speeds (less than 10mph, usually coming to a stop at a red light or stop sign), the truck makes a slight pop. What is weird, is it does not happen every time and if I back up, you can hear it while backing up...

    2008 Ram 4.7 Tuner/Air filter

    Have a few questions if anybody can answer them. I have a 2008 Ram 4.7 that is getting anywhere from 12-14 mpg city mainly closer to 12, which for a 4.7 I feel I can get better. I replaced all 16 plugs and cleaned the throttle body, which helped a little. My air filter is due for replacement...

    Radio resetting

    The last few days about 50% of the time I'll get in my truck and start it and the radio clock will be off by a few hours. It brings it back to the screen like it is if you disconnect the battery. My radio stations are still saved though and I haven't left anything on. The first time I noticed it...

    Grill guard

    Has anyone built a grill guard for one of these trucks? I was thinking about making a heavy duty bumper for my old truck and still wanna build something but not sure I wanna do a full bumper replacement instead of just a grill guard. If anyone has built one and has plans for it let me know...

    Gearing after lift

    We recently bought a 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 with the Laramie longhorn package. We got a great deal on the truck, the only downside is the axles are the 3.21s. We want to lift the truck and put 35s on this. Is anyone on here running this with the 3.21s? I know it's not ideal Sent from my iPhone...

    3.7L Engine

    Hey all. I'm currently in the market for a newer truck cause my 01 is giving me problems. Found an 09 with the 3.7L V6. I do no towing at all so a V6 doesn't really bother me, just better gas mileage. Is this engine dependable? Any things I should check for if I go look at it? It currently has...

    Power loss

    I've had a major loss of power lately, just seems sluggish. The truck is leaking oil, and ticking sound during acceleration (never noticed it before, I'm assuming this is the pinging sound talked about on the plenum guide). I had the plenum repaired but thinking about it earlier, I never got the...

    Squeaking sound

    So after I got in the accident I started noticing a squeaking sound when getting in and out of the truck, didn't think much of it. It could've been happening before and I just didn't catch it. Well I was driving in a quiet area today with the window down and when coming to a stop there's a noise...

    Leveling kit

    So I decided I wanna level the truck to make it look a little better and I had a few questions. Rough country has two different leveling kits for this year truck. 2001 ram 4x4. One of them just has the 2.5in coil spacers for the front, and the other has shocks, coil spacers and 2" lift blocks...
