    RAM RMT or keep what I have

    Sorry! This one is priced just a little over $55k, the TRX that is being built is over $80k. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a TRX with the 6.4L, but I can't fathom paying that much for a truck! I paid over $40k for my current truck when I bought it brand new in 2010.

    RAM RMT or keep what I have

    It looks like they have the Prospector and Prospector XL, both use the 2500, which I don't want to go with. Also, I didn't find any that are near me to look at. But thank you for the info, I never heard of RMT either until I did some research on it. ;-)

    RAM RMT or keep what I have

    What are AEV dealers? Sorry not familiar with that acronym. Also, I know RMT isn't factory installed, it is just a package, but I was looking at an upgrade. I feel like if I'm going to trade my truck in, it should be for something better. I appreciate everyone's feedback so far, lots to think...

    RAM RMT or keep what I have

    Hey guys, I need some advice. I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 4x2 that I have modified a bit with headers, cold air intake, throttle body spacer, new rims, upgraded the seats from cloth to leather, new deck and speakers. I love my truck, bought her brand new but, I'm thinking about a 2022 RAM with the...

    Shorty headers

    The worst part of mine was the oil dipstick tube. The guy who replaced the headers the first time, weaved it through the headers and lost/broke the o-ring that goes on the tube into the block, so he used black RTV instead. Longer story short, couldn't find the o-ring or one that would work...

    Shorty headers

    No more ticking! She sounds great, but still need to retighten the flange bolts. I have a video where you can hear her, but need to shorten it.

    Shorty headers

    Headers installed this past weekend, they look nice! Def better than the other ones that were rusted. Forgot to take before pics.

    Shorty headers

    Nice! I haven't heard of Gibson before, but I didn't see them offered for the 5.7L. My options for shorty headers that work with my engine are: JBA, aFe, kook and BBK. I ordered the aFe ones, which will hopefully resolve my exhaust leak issue! I will post how they work and how easy they are...

    Shorty headers

    Yes those are the exact ones I just bought.

    Shorty headers

    I bit the bullet and purchased the aFe shorty headers, we will see what they are like when they are on....fingers crossed no more noise...aside from the magnaflow sound that should be there!

    Shorty headers

    I also, think the guy who installed them didn't install them correctly. He is a friend of my brother's, but owns a shop...meh, it was free. Mine is a 2010 with almost 110k miles, sadly I've had to let friends borrow her while we worked on their Fords, and they drive a lot. Anyway, good that you...

    Shorty headers

    Thank you for the info. I read around last night about the JBA headers, and I'm not the only one who has been told these headers warped after being on the truck. Now, with that said, the guy who installed the headers did not use the gaskets that were purchased for the exact reason that I had a...

    Shorty headers

    @16WhiteQC I took it to a shop yesterday and they pulled out the gasket that was there and replaced with the original gasket, which is metal, more like the Fel Pro gaskets everyone talks about using. And although the noise is not as loud, when I accelerate, or punch it, you can hear the tick...

    Shorty headers

    I have read many threads on the broken manifold bolts and replacement headers. I have JBA shorty headers on my truck now, after having the dreaded Hemi tick due to broken bolts. After replacement, there is another leak, but on the drivers side now. According to the exhaust shop, the gasket...

    How to DELETE the Active Grille Shutter System

    I'm actually having to change out my thermostat this weekend, truck overheated yesterday when I got back to work from running errands. So I'd be curious if there are any downsides to installing a lower temp thermostat vs. the 203 degree that is recommended. Also, how do you know if you have...

    Oil ?

    Reading online it shows that using 5-30 in the 2010 4x2 will cause an MDS error until it's changed back to 5-20, but no other info. Was wondering if anyone had run into this problem.

    Oil ?

    Did anyone that switched to 5-30 oil have an MDS error? I have a 2010 hemi and am hesitant about switching due to an MDS issue.

    Thank you much!

    For those that don't think the cabin air filter mod is worth it...

    Will someone share the link for the mod? I have a 2010 1500 Hemi with no cabin filter and live in texas...

    Exhaust suggestions

    I did MagnaFlow on mine and it sounds great. The guy at the shop thought it would be too loud cause I'm female.... the louder the better IMO, as long as its doesn't sound like crap to begin with :-)

    5.7 hemi tick

    I use Amsoil 5W20 in my 2010 1500 with 5.7 hemi and have had the tic for a while, which goes away after it is warm, but has been taking longer to go away than previous. Will be checking the exhaust bolts to see if there is a leak. Will also be switching to 5W30, as that seems to be an easy...

    Help! Truck stalling issue

    We actually didn't change the oil pump, it was a huge hassle and not enough time and space in the garage to get it done. Coolant is good, checked all fluids and all are good and at correct levels. Stalls when idling, oddly stalled the other day when I was pulling into a parking spot. I...

    Help! Truck stalling issue

    Ok since last post... She has stalled many times, but no codes any longer. My brother thought it might have been fuel related, so pulled the fuse, reset and ran for 100 miles. Took a few days but stalled again this morning :( Any and I mean ANY HELP is greatly appreciated!
