    Whelp, I have a water leak

    Yes, there are drains in the track. I hit them with a can of computer duster air since I don't have an air compressor. ( ☹ maybe someday) Anyway, it's been fine ever since.

    Anyone from PA?

    I'm in South Eastern PA, Chester county more specifically. And I like getting the truck dirty, been going to the Krawlin for Cops event at Rausch Creek the last couple years. I just registered for the 2022 event yesterday. I'm not super active on FB but I'll check it out.

    Sheriff’s Power Wagon

    With ONE of their Power Wagons? How many do they own? Having one is awesome... Having more than one is just plain old epic... And they're on 35's??? I'm working for the wrong PD. Lol

    Intermittently Won't Start - Single Click, No Crank

    I've replaced countless starters in Subarus for the same problem. Turn the key and get a single click. Turn the key a few more times and get more single clicks. Turn the key again and the car fires right up. The solenoid in the starter has power and ground but it sticks. After a few turns on the...

    Navigation Deactivated?

    I bought my 2012 ram new in 2012. My factory nav still works and I've never updated the map.

    My 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4 x 4 is chewing up front drive shafts, CV shafts, and differentials

    Silly question, but are you sure the new front diff ratio is the same as the rear diff ratio?

    Do I Need New Shocks With A Level Kit?

    I added a 2" HBS level to the front of my 12 ram right after I bought it. I used the original shocks which are still holding up just fine at 46k miles. If you're OK with buying shocks, I would recommend skipping the spacers and leveling with 5100 bilsteins. I went with spacers because I...

    Failure to yield and now new 21 Limited

    Glad everyone was OK. Did the car hit the jeep that was stopped at the intersection? I bet the driver needed clean underwear either way.

    Squeaking sound after replacing cv axle

    If it squeals when moving, check to see if the backing plate got bent and is touching the rotor.

    Wheeling Rausch Creek 6/5/21

    I drove up to Rausch Creek this past Saturday for the Krawlin for Cops event. The guys with the Power Wagon were there again and we got to wheel together. Great group of guys, and my son and I had a great time! The truck did great this time around and I'm looking forward to doing it again next...

    Harmonic balancer bolt

    I've used the breaker bar on the frame rail trick before (not on a ram though) and it worked. If you do, just make sure the handle of the bar is on the correct side of the frame rail.

    Getting rid of stale "funk" in cab

    My thoughts as well. My truck developed a stale funk awhile back. Not overpowering but definitely noticeable. Shortly thereafter I reached into the storage bin under the back seat to grab a ratchet strap and found the bin soaking wet. My leak was due to clogged drains for the rear slider. I...
