    Replacing cracked head

    A couple years back, I picked up my 03 Ram 1500 4.7L with a dropped seat in the Pass side head. I replaced it with just a junkyard head off an 02 4.7L and it was fine. Well that got me another 40,000 miles before that head cracked too a week ago. I'm going to order a worked over head this time...

    Front IFS compatability

    Drove out a couple hours today to pick up some out of a 1500 from a junkyard. Only got one out, but I compared it to a durango one, and they are not the same. The mounting points are different, I didnt have time to dig further, but they look about the same otherwise. Edit: to add, I do not...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    I passed California emissions testing. Thank God above he didn't crawl under the thing.

    I completely forgot to post my results! I did end up fitting a box under the passenger seat. The box is 0.35ish cubic feet sealed, and works nicely with the 8 inch sub I put in it. The box ended up hanging back into the rear foot area more then most would like, and it can probably be...

    Front IFS compatability

    Does anyone know the difference between the C205FD IFS center section in the Ram 1500s, and the C205F center section in a Durango? It's almost impossible to find a wrecked 4x4 sheep where I am, but I can find a few Durangos. Reason being is that I want to have a few spares to keep in my...

    Rear axles the same?

    Im going to just wing it I think. As for the axle itself, are the shafts good enough, or should I consider something like Yukon axles? It would be much easier to change them while the diff is apart, but the budgets already not looking good. I'm currently just going to have the 4.56s...

    Rear axles the same?

    So I'm putting 4.56 gears in my 03 1500. I also have a 06 laying around in need of some rod bearings. Can the 06 axle bolt up to an 03? Both are Chrysler 9.25 axles. Reason being is that my 03 has a 3.55 ratio stock, and the 06 has a 3.21, so might as well upgrade that truck for free...

    IFS upgrade

    Does anyone know if its easy/possible to swap the chrysler 8.0 IFS unit out for something stronger? I'm going 4.56 gears to help out my 35'' tires, but I feel like its going to break in half when it even hears about rocks. I dont really want to go full Solid axle swap on it, may as well get...

    Stronger front axle shaft

    Yes, IFS. Didnt know the 1500 MC had a solid axle. I do off road a bit with it, but mostly faster trails, desert style. It was the first time I tried rocks with it, and it snapped almost immediately. Looking at the break, its all porous and looks like it was made of cast iron... There's...

    Stronger front axle shaft

    Does anyone know if they make stronger axle shafts for a ram 1500? I snapped one this weekend, and I'd rather not just put another stock one in if its just going to break again. Part number is C205F, its just a 6 inch shaft that sits in between the diff and the half-shaft

    TMR Delete doesnt seem right.

    So I finally went and did the TMR delete mod to my 03, and I'm not sure if its right. Specs: 4.7 eng 545RFE trans 35" tires, 3.55 Axles So mine's a single ECU/TCM with 4 plugs. No standalone TCM. I believe the standalones are the 45RFE trucks. After some googling, there is a...

    I'd rather keep the back seat storage and foldy flat plasticy thing™ though, I use them both all the time. I have split seats in the back though, I suppose I could just do one side, but it sucks the smaller one is on the drivers side where I mostly put stuff.

    Where the hell do yall put a subwoofer in a 3rd gen quad cab? I'm getting tired of the random autozone sub floating around in my back seat area, but I can't live without some form of base. I know theres kits to go in the back seat storage, but I like those and already have a bunch of "stuff"...

    What is wobble?

    3 inch lift via keys for the front. otherwise, stock IFS. It was fine after lifting it though. The front tires are nearing their end of life, but they were fine maybe 5 months/ 15,000 miles ago, rears were replaced with some used ones and balanced not too long ago.

    What is wobble?

    Rear shocks are going, it hops a little when going over a speed hump. Tires have not changed, I would assume they are still balanced.

    What is wobble?

    So what exactly is deathwobble? I've got an 03 1500 4x4, and I'm trying to track down a slight wobble at high speed. I'm not sure when it started, but earlier this year, I took the truck up to 108 and it was stable, couple weeks later found out a front hub was ready to fall off though. Oops...

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    California/831 I only got the fenders off the junkers, but meh. Hopefuly the hood, grille, bumpers, and bed will fit from the 06. Also I discovered the new head I installed has a damaged intake valve. Just doesnt end.

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    Well, so unfortunately, my sort of local junkyard JUST put out a ram of the correct color and year Monday, earlier this week... Also this 06 pretty much just needs a cylinder head, timing kit, and a clutch, so I probably will just fix it. Now the problem is I have an extra truck and have...

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    I have two mostly complete trucks, parts wouldn't be an issue either way. I'm mostly looking for getting the most out of it, build the best from the two sort of deal. Still on the fence about it, but a manual just sounds like more fun. Bad luck though. Picked up the truck today, its a ST...

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    Cool, thanks mate. Also, I'm assuming I would have to use the Manual's ecu as well?

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    I won't be out to it until tomorrow, I'll check then but I'll be putting it together then, will there be differences in the cab looms?

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    I would keep the 03 Trans, but I figure it would be easier to convert the drivetrain to manual then convert the cab to auto

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    Yes, I will keep frame and engine from the 03 because 4x4 I'm mostly worried about if the manual transmission will bolt onto my transfer case

    Ambitious 03-06 auto-manual swap

    So I got a parts truck 03 1500. By the time I got it, it had no body panels or rear axle. I replaced a head on the 4.7 and threw an axle in and it drives about. The problem now is, I can't find any dark gray panels for this thing for a reasonable price... So my idea is I'm going...
