    Ram Rebel/Warlock Grille Nameplate

    Got a 2016 Rebel recently with the mustache looking grille, and for some reason the ‘RAM’ lettering that goes on the grille was missing. OEM wise its out of stock, on backorder and have been told the supplier isnt making them anymore so I’m kind of out of luck unless any of you folks happen to...

    Unloaded '06 and Loaded '16

    Ended up picking up a new truck, so I'll be starting up a new thread to keep track of BOTH my trucks and maybe I'll actually keep up with it lol So my older truck is a 2006 Ram 1500 sitting at around 220k miles. Started out as a base-model single cab short bed with the absolute powerhouse 3.7L...

    2WD Front Suspension at Different Angles

    My apologize in advance as I know very little about 3rd gen suspension lol So I got under the truck today chasing a suspension pop and I noticed something new—the angles for the upper ball joints are different between the two sides. Basically, the hole for the upper ball joint in the spindles...

    Dead 4th/5th gen Instrument Cluster

    Or more specifically, just the buzzer/chime module off the PCB board. Its a weird request I know, taking apart a perfectly good cluster would be a waste so I’d rather see if any of you guys have a broken one laying around collecting dust. Needless to say theres not many people selling or buying...

    3.7L Headers?

    Its not what you’re thinking So one of my exhaust manifolds has been leaking ever since I’ve had it. I thought it was simply broken manifold bolts, but yesterday I looked up in there and it seems to be because there’s a dime-sized hole in the manifold right at cylinder 6. Of course I’d rather...

    OEM Aux Switch Dimensions

    I'm here from the 3rd gen side to ask a favor. Could any of you guys with the OEM aux switch bank get the width and height of it for me? Since there is zero aux switch bank options for the 3rd gens that I remotely like, I thought I'd give the 4th gen switch a look. From the pictures I see it...

    3rd Gen Grab Handle Fix DIY

    After years of prolonged use, a few days back my passenger side grab handle gave out. I decided to take a couple of pictures and write a how-to on how to fix it in case anyone else is looking for some answers First off, these things usually break in 2 ways- the first being the entire crevice...

    Want to Level

    Howdy y’all, I’m finally deciding to go thru with some new shoes for my truck. Specifically, I’m gonna go for 33x12.50r20s on some -24 offset/4.5” backspace wheels. From what I’ve read it seems these wheels and tires will fit without rubbing on a level Whats the best way to level a 2WD? I have...

    Cluster warning lights don’t work

    So I’m planning on replacing my instrument cluster anyways, but thought I might as well see what yall think about this. Ever since I bought this truck most of the warning lights didn’t work. Brake light, ABS light, check engine light, among others. From running AlfaOBD thru the truck...

    OEM Power Windows and Locks- The Almost Complete How-to

    I promise I'll add pictures here pretty soon! Also I should note that power locks are not currently working, I'll update the thread when I get them functional. To start this off; No, this is probably not worth your time. Unless you have deep connections to your truck (or really enjoy not having...

    Restoring Heavily Faded Plastic

    Howdy yall! Its my first time popping in here from the 3rd gen section, looking forward to spending even more money on my truck for detailing products (my wallet isn’t looking forward to that though) The main reason I’m here is I have two new door panels to put in my truck. Long story short...

    Running Wires to Doors

    I'm in the middle of a big wiring project and I have just 1 question; How do I get wires into the A-pillar so I can run them into the door? I have 12 different wires I'm trying to run into the doors and I'm not sure of the easiest method to actually get the wires into the pillar.

    Check Engine Light Out

    Just like the title says, ever since I got this truck the check engine light has been out. The only way I ever know it throws codes is through a scantool. Also, the 5 MPH notch on the speedometer is out. I'm not sure exactly why because I thought the entire cluster was backlit by just a few...

    My '06 Build Thread

    Figured after all this time, I'd make one of these lol Bought the truck in Vernon, Texas back in November 2016. Base model ST 2WD with 106k miles on the lil 3.7. It had a couple of lights out and vandalized with spray paint, but $5,500 later took 'er home. This is my first vehicle so I'm still...

    Which Tail Lights to go for (and some electrical questions)

    My old tail lights are about to kick the bucket, so I'm shopping for some newer LED tail lights. I'm not wanting anything too fancy, just smoked black housing LEDs. I'm also trying to spend less than $150 them. I hear anzo is pretty good but they're a bit out of my price range. Is there any...

    Body Mount Bushings

    So my truck has developed a creak from the front end. It creaks when I open a door or get into my truck on the same side (open the drivers door, drivers side creaks, open pass. door, passenger side creaks, etc.) and I’m kind of suspecting body mounts. Even if they’re not the culprit, they...

    Looking at a 2012 1500

    Wanting some opinions on a truck for sale by a private owner close by; 2012 Ram 1500 ST 2wd with 76,000 miles, 3.55 gears. Asking 16,900. It has a Hemi and overall looks in great shape. It says its an ST but the weird thing is 1. It has color-matched bumpers and grille, which I didn't think...

    4th gen Center Console with 3rd gen Seats

    I apologize for the lack of pictures, I took some of the install long ago but it seems theyve disappeared Before anyone attempts this, I have to warn everyone that I did this on a standard cab, ST with zero power options. This may vary significantly based on cabin size, trim level, model year...

    4.10s or 4.56s

    On the stock 3.55s my v6 hates headwinds. In fact, pretty sure it hates anything except a tailwind cuz it upshifts into third gear all the time. Not sure who the birdbrain was that thought 3.55s would be even remotely acceptable for a shrimpy 210 HP motor to push a 5,000 pound truck around, but...

    (Maybe) A 2006 3.7-5.7 Swap

    So I’ve had something placed in my lap the past few days. A wrecked 2008 1500 2wd with a hemi at a local salvage. So I’m considering buying the whole truck and (possibly) going thru with an engine swap at some point. I know that based on the 2004 v6-hemi swap thread, the 3.7 and the 5.7 dont...

    Another "V6 Exhaust Grumble" Thread

    After taking a spin in my friends Silverado 5.3 with a custom exhaust, I'd love to have something new on my 3.7 v6 RCSB to give it at least a little grumble. I'd preferably want a dual-straight pipe out exhaust. I've heard a Flowmaster 40 with dual-straight pipes and it sounded amazing, but I'm...

    Custom Gauge Face/Needles Questions

    I'm kinda interested in buying a custom gauge face in the near future (When my wallet is equally interested) so I'm wondering if anyone on here has done it themselves. I'm also wanting to figure out how hard it is to remove and replace, because the only write-ups I've found are about replacing...

    Thinking about an Aftermarket Stereo

    So my aux port has kicked the bucket as of about a week ago and I'm left with about 1 or 2 reliably clear radio stations out here in the boonies..needless to say it gets old pretty fast. I've always wanted an aftermarket stereo and (as a search has shown me) it seems very complicated depending...

    Rattles from Everywhere

    So we bought my truck used about 8 months ago, and while there were multiple problems with it, it runs great. Everything is okay except the suspension (specifically, front suspension) just rattles and doesn't handle bumps as good as I think it should. I plan on replacing the shocks ASAP after I...

    Is Cruise Control Actually Plug-n-Play?

    My '06 ST (With the mighty 3.7 V6) has the little black thingys on the steering wheel instead of cruise control switches. To put it simply the truck doesn't have the switches installed. I've heard about 28 different responses of "Plug-n-play!" to "It'll work but it needs to be flashed by the...
