RFE to stock 5-speed stick shift swap/questions.
Hey, all, I recently saw a manual ram in my local junkyard. Kinda got me curious on what it would take and what I'd need to pull off of it to make my truck a stickshift. Also wondering how those trannies hold up in a performance application (meaning, would it be more worth the time to try...- Drunken Hamster

Problems with truck, looking for insight.
Hey, guys, finally got around to posting this. There are several things wrong with my truck that I want to iron out, so I'll get right to it. -Got a P0071 the other day. Ambient Air Temp sensor. Dunno how this affects the truck, should I be worried? Would the fix be to just get a new sensor...- Drunken Hamster

Is there any all in one sound deadener?
Specifically some that's as good as layering the cld, ccf, and mlv yourself? Also, is there a climate insulator type of thing that sticks on and can work with sound deadener, or, better yet, an all in one that's good AND had climate insulator on it, too? Sent from my magic 5-inch- Drunken Hamster

Any way to body drop without cutting and custom fabrication?
Perhaps a lower profile body mount bushing or whatever like the opposite of a body lift? Just wondering if it's at all possible, and if so, would it net an inch or so? Sent from my magic 5-inch- Drunken Hamster

HD Guys, Is The 66RFE A Good Transmission Unlike The 65/545/45??
Reason I'm asking is because if I do a trans swap in my 3rd gen as a part of a performance build, I WANT a TRUE 6-speed with decent ratios and the ability to hold some good power. From all of my reading and deductions thereof, a 66RFE seems like a good choice. Good gear spread, true 6 speed...- Drunken Hamster

Intermittent bulb out light, right side brake light confirmed not working when it's on...
Pretty simple, I've started getting lamp out warnings for my rear passenger brake light.

LKQ truck, is it patriot blue? Please confirm.
I need to know because it's in a further lkq than I'm willing to drive for a "no" and I need the left front fender for my truck which is patriot blue. It looks too dark to be that blue jean blue, but it also looks just a tad light to be patriot. Maybe it's the sun. I need an answer today. Last...- Drunken Hamster

Passenger vents blow hot, driver's not as cold, no zone control...
So, last weekend shortly after doing my spark plugs and installing shorty wires, I fired up the truck and turn the air on as I normally would and when on a test drive.

Cheapo paint jobs...
Since I want to part with my truck for fair worth, and 3 grand is too much to spend on paint and body, I was initially thinking that I could perhaps paint and body the truck myself.

34"-35" tire for a 24x10?
