    Getting new tires next weekend 225/75R16 vs 245/75R16

    So just as the title says, my tires are shot so next weekend I'm going to go tire shopping. Currently I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler 225/75r16 tires on the truck. I'm not going Goodyear again. I had similar trash on my old Ranger and they're pretty much the same trash on the Dodge. My...

    Recommended trans filter and cooler kits?

    Just as the title says. I'm going to have to drop the pan on the transmission again to replace the pressure solenoid. Before I do that I'm planning on installing a separate transmission cooler and a filter kit with a check valve. I've been looking at Perma-cool but I don't see anything in their...

    Voltage at OBDII port and Gauge don't match battery or alternator.

    Edit: I'm pretty sure I've solved this. I was just chasing what turned out to be a garbage gauge problem. Just as the title says and I'm chasing my tail over this one. This is where my voltage gauge usually sits (for the year that I've owned it): As of today it's been sitting like this...

    Thinking about a shift kit.

    More specifically I've been thinking about getting the Transgo SK TFOD-Jr Shift kit from here: http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/A500_A518_A618_42RE_46RE_Transmission_Shift_Kit_p/500-00054931a.htm I've seen where some people seem to swear by it. Any opinions from you guys?

    Lighting advice

    It's getting about that time of the year again. Time for me to budget replacing these terrible headlights I have on the truck. Good news is that I don't drive at night often so I didn't have to use them that often. So I've seen on other forums where people seem to recommend these for my truck...

    What relays engine RPM to the ECU?

    I've noticed this issue before and never really put it down to a specific issue until today. There are some times when I'm at WOT the truck won't shift. Instead of shifting it will hold that gear until it bounces off the rev limiter. Today I had my bluetooth scanner hooked up and Torque Pro...

    Hindsight is always 20/20

    Who would have thought that my brother-in-law had no wire management skills. So I have been trying to track down some strange issues for a while now. The truck seemed to behave when the ambient temps were in the 70f range but 80-90f the truck began to act strange. The torque converter would...

    TPS issues?

    So I've been going over this for a while now. My truck is a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.2l and automatic transmission. The issue I've been chasing down is I know something is amiss about the TPS. At idle it procuces between 0.62 and 0.66v. when I check the Factory Service manual for the...

    What is your choice of plugs?

    I usually use NGK because they stay close to factory spec. This time around I went NGK V-Power. I've seen where people on other forums swear by Champion Copper plugs. What's everyone's opinion? I'm actually asking because my truck has been doing some weird stuff for a while now. It will seem...

    TV cable too tight?

    So I've been chasing this problem down for a while now and I think k I may have found it but a second opinion would be nice. When I got this truck there was about half throttle play in the throttle cable. I fixed it and in the process seemed to over tighten the TV cable because a full throttle...

    Strange Oil Pressure Sensor Twitch

    So I know that I shouldn't trust the factory dash oil pressure gauge. I also have plans on installing a mechanical one here in the next few months as well as a mechanical Tach since my truck doesn't have one. The Oil pressure gauge issue that makes me want to replace it is that it tweaks. I...
