    Need recommendations on cv axles

    I need to replace my cv axles and had planned on just going to the dealer to get a pair. The price at the dealer is 320 each. From everything that I see I can get a pair for just under 200. Not the cheapest by any means. Just a descent price over an in my eyes obscene price at the dealer. I...

    Clear coat coming off

    I pulled the stock fender flares and wheel well covers off my Ram to have some work done. Put on headers and new wheels and tires. I had some 1.5” wheel spacers made also. I realized that some of the clear coat under where the original flares were is coming off. I have the new pocket flares and...

    How do you all jack up your lifted trucks

    How do you all jack up your lifted trucks safely? I Have used my floor jack on blocks and I do the same with my jack stands. I don’t like doing that and can’t afford an actual lift at the moment. I like to do a lot of my own maintenance, but hate having to block everything up. I am just...

    Oil filter

    I’ve never went for expensive oil filters before but everyone I know around me that has Rams tell me to go with a K&N oil filter. First I’d love the thoughts of you all on that. Second what’s the difference between the Hp-1017 and the HP-2010, other than the obvious length difference? Is there...

    Alerts pop up randomly on dash

    I’ve been having some lights and system alerts popping up on my dash and the little readout screen lately. The warning signal seemingly randomly dings, and then warning lights start popping up. They are always similar and go in this order. Service 4 wheel drive system, and the ‘service 4 wheel...

    How do I find my gear ratio

    I bought my truck used and I am not quite sure on my rear gear ratio. Is there a way to find that out? I've heard that you can look it up by your vin. Anyone know if that's true? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Muffler recommendations

    So I got my JBA 1 3/4" longtube headers installed a little over two weeks ago. I also purchased and installed the Y pipe by JBA. I already had a custom exhaust that consists of a single 3" in dual 2.5" out Dynamaster super 10 muffler. I did not have dual exhaust originally so had everything from...

    2012 1500 front wheel bearing going. I think...

    I think my drivers side wheel bearing is going bad. I've had a slight wobble that I had thought was going to be fixed when I had the Equal taken out and weights put back on. It was immediately better but I still had a slight wobble going down the highway. I'm now getting a squeaking sound coming...

    Header, throttle body, and intake. Need suggestions...

    So two of my manifold bolts on the passenger side have snapped, and I want to pull them before I snap an entire side. I figure if I'm going to the trouble I may as well add headers. And if I'm doing that I may as well do a throttle body, spacer ( not sure if it makes a difference if I'm adding a...

    Thoughts on keeping a magnet on your differential.

    Got to thinking about the magnet idea that some of you all use to collect some of the metal flakes before changing fluid. Is there any reason not to leave a magnet on there all the time? I have one that I picked up the other day, right next to my drain plug. I am changing fluid this weekend...

    Replace sump filter seal when changing tranny filter?

    So do you guys replace the sump filter seal when you do a filter change? The guy at the dealership didn't say I had to but it comes with all of their sump filters. Also the directions say not to put it on the neck of the filter and install it that way. The tech told me to use a seal driver...

    I'm trying to order my differential oil and am having trouble making sure I'm buying the right thing. Info: 2012 Ram 1500 4x4, lifted with 35's. i have no owners manual because I bought it slightly used so I'm not 100% sure what it recommends. I tow and haul a descent amount and run my...
