    Detroit Truetrac for ZF

    Finally got my detroit locker ordered. Got it from Drivetrain america. The shopping cart price was cheaper than summit and if you join their email, you get a 5% coupon. So about $50 cheaper and free shipping. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

    Disappointed in rancho quicklifts.

    I went with rancho to avoid upper ball joint issues. After 10 months the lower isolator broke. Its glass filled nylon not urethane. The lifetime warranty is a bunch of crap. Rancho does not do warranty claims. You have to go thru the dealer. So buy somewhere reputable. I bought from amazon...

I go to Ace because they go through the Hillman group. I noticed chinese and taiwan made bolts. One location was in the process...

    Raising Running Boards

    I have not had anytime to examine the brackets on my running boards, but has anyone raised them or does anyone make a bracket to lift the running boards? Seems like they hang too low like a pair of old man balls. I hit them just going over curbs.

    Have you guys seen newer Chryslers? I got a Durango as a loaner and it did not have a gas cap, just a filler hole. I am curious if anyone has retro fitted a Ram to have this filler. https://goo.gl/images/Rkwcsr

    Will shocks fix the bouncy ride?

    I have a 2014 Express, bought it used. This looked and smelled brand new. The truck rides smooth but there is some bounciness to the ride. Nothing terrible. Most people don't notice it, but it's something that no other car I have ever owned had. It basically feels like the rebound in my shocks...

    Remove frame ballasts?

    I took those big heavy ballasts off my frame to paint. I don't like the color of rust. Oh boy! these things are heavy! Is anyone running their truck without these? if so any major side effects?

    Sorry for the stupid question.... Is it safe to launch in 4x4 with the a 2014 tradesman quad cab with the 5.7 8 speed?. My truck feels faster than my G35 and I want to get it to the track. Currently that open differential sucks for launches.

    Plug n Play back up Camera

    I have seen a few "plug n play" back up cameras that work with our stereos and do not require programming. Has anyone some insight on these? The dealer is going to charge me $130 for the programming. I figure I could save that much alone by buying a "plug and play" one. Integrated...
