    What part is this? It's not attached

    V6 3.6. I went in to get the plugs changed in the winter. nothing at all has been wrong with the vehicle. Has been running well. I popped the hood today to clean the intake and this piece is already out. Maybe the dealer didn't hook it back up. It's dirty now. What does it do? Should I plug it...

    Bluetooth upgrade

    I have a basic radio 2014 ram 1500. Picture from a jeep, but it's mine exactly. I'm just looking to add Bluetooth. I have a donor (image also included) from a 2017 promaster 2500 for 80$. Does it have Bluetooth? I do not have the microphone rear view, would this part work instead? Do I need...

    Mileage drop over time

    Ok, I'm willing to admit, I just have no idea what's going on and I'm willing to admit I may be a victim of snake oil. My mpgs have been steadily decreasing for about 30 000 kms. Here's what I've done to my 2014 3.6 (it's got 120 000 km) New sparkies 5000km ago. K and N drop in filter (used and...

    OAT ph

    This week I had one of my first issues with the truck. *Knock on wood* I had a small exhaust leak from a rusted and snapped bolt on a coupler on the exhaust system. First, wow did that ever change the back pressure; it drove with a dead pedal and sounded terrible. Second, it was an easy fix but...

    Rear Bilsteins

    I've been searching for 45 minutes now. I cannot seem to find any information on rear adjustable bils. I have 17inch rims with stock size tires (BFG - TA KO ; original yeah!). I want to keep the rims and tires because I love them. I want to give the truck a little facelift when it's time to...

    Box size and caps

    Looking to buy a used cap for my 2014 1500 quad cab. It has the 6'4 box . Would a cap from a 2005 2500 with the same size box fit? Did the box size change at all?

    2014 to 2018 TPMS

    Long story short, I want to trade my 2014 17 inch rims for 2018 17 inch rims with a different tire. Same rims, same truck, different year, different tire. Would the TPMS sensor work in both vehicles? Was there a change between 2014 and 2018?

    Can I tow this legally?

    When I checked the tow rating for my truck there is a difference between max towing in 2014 and 2016. I don't think there were any revisions to the truck during 2014-2016. Why with the same gear ratio, 4x4, cab and engine can I magically tow 500 lbs more. Does this mean my 2014 can tow that? I'm...

    Etorque bolt-on?

    I want the Etorque. Bad. Ever since this concept came out this year, I think it is amazing. It will probably be the future of hybrid vehicles. It's simple, assist the gas engine with an electric engine; and this isn't the first time this has been implemented. This will clearly help gain more...

    Windshield wipers

    Just letting you all know, the book may say 22" wiper blades, but 24" fits no problem and does a great job at getting all the way up your windshield.

    3.6 sparkplugs

    Going to change mine out this summer. Need some advice. I've only ever changed plugs once on my old truck. Is it easy on this vehicle? I'm going to go with the best, as spending 5$ extra per spark is worth it for longevity to me: NGK Iridium ix. My issue is there is a discrepancy between the...

    Lt or p tires for v6

    I'm sure this question has come up before. I want to replace my oem tires for my '14 v6 3.6 with 3.21 gears. The thing is great on gas and I would like to keep it that way. I have been looking at lighter tires so I'm leaning towards p rated (came with the truck) but I also want something that...

    Mileage update - v6 3.6

    Hey guys. I added a throttle body spacer a few weeks ago and wanted to share the progress. I feel as though I'm getting more torque off the hop and better mileage. It's holding 8th gear easier on the highway too. Here's a link to the video a took today just going through the computer based...

    Throttle body spacer - v6

    I just installed an econoaid throttle body booster (spacer) this weekend in my pentastar v6. It works great! I towed 2.0l/100kms better than normal (maybe 1 mpg). But when i took the trailer off and let it go light, wow did it ever wake up. Throws more "hit the back of your seat" torque off...

    diffoil change - type and warranty info

    I'm coming up on my maintenance period to change the diff oil. I do all oil changes myself and have not done a diff oil change on my new ram yet. I want to change it as I do offroad, tow often, and haul often on long trips. My question is, can I use a different brand of gear oil, like rp or...

    Electronic oil and coolant gauge temp always at 40c

    On startup when the truck has been sitting in minus weather (the last week here has been consistant -10c to -20c, the coolant and oil temp start at 40c, but the trans temp matches the outside temp almost perfectly. Is there a reason why my electronic gauges both read 40c? Does anyone else's...

    Anyone else own and use a diamondback tonneau cover? What kind of accessories do you have for it? What do you haul on top with it? I've used it to haul couches, beds and mattresses, kitchen tables and a canoe. I'm looking to see what mods I can do to it to help with space organizing and...

    It gets cold and we get lots of snow and ice around here in mid-western Ontario, Canada in the wintertime. I have a diamondback tonneau for my truck that has a rubberized ring in between the bed and cover in order to keep it waterproof. Great concept and I can atest it keeps the water out...

    Lift kit, Leveling kit or body lift?

    I'm interested in giving a meaner lifted look to the truck. I've searched this forum a hundred times and can find info on bils, rough country level and big lift kits. I'm worried about the trucks overall life and whether the bolts and joints hold up with these. My question, what about a...

    looking for new mudflaps

    I have always wanted to install some mudflaps as they keep the stones and mud down and keep the body from chipping and rusting over time. I saw some at canadian tire today (yup I'm a canuck) and they have some cheap ones for around 20$ a pair. The thing is you have to drill into your body for...
