    Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise

    Definitely not lifting the new one, if anything I’ll be doing a leveling kit just for a little more clearance on the front especially since I bought a 2wd Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise

    Wanted to give an update on this for any future thought. So i sold the truck and bought a brand new 2020 ram sport Laramie. But i knew the driveshaft thing would be an issue. I bought a used driveshaft from the scrap yard, put it in, and all of the sudden the noises were gone. My assumption is...

    Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise

    Spoke with a drive shaft company here in Houston and they made a good point. If the driveshaft is out, it means the gears aren’t moving in the transfer case but when it’s back in, the gears have something to move them when free spinning. So I’m just gonna take it back out and make sure to put it...

    Front Driveshaft Grinding Noise

    I have a 2011 ram 1500 with a 6 inch lift. 3 years ago, I kept hearing this grinding noise while driving and it would get louder if I was driving along a wall or barrier on the highway. A shop I took it to said it could be the front driveshaft, so they removed it and I never heard the noise...

    2011 Ram 1500 transmission

    It goes to the high rpms even when i get close to home and I’ve been driving for a good 15-20 minutes. I’ll have to pay attention again next time I’m driving. Battery is pretty new as well, it’s probably just at a year old! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2011 Ram 1500 transmission

    For the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed my ram getting up to high rpms, for example like 3000-3200, stays at the rpm for awhile without shifting. Sometimes it will shift, sometimes I have to let off the gas and give it gas again for it to shift. Truck has 134k miles on it! Also, the other...

    Pro Comp Prorunner Struts & Shocks

    Thought I would post a updated photo of my truck with the new parts! Love the pro runner shocks as they ride smooth and they gave my front end the 2 inch face lift and changed the whole look of my truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pro Comp Prorunner Struts & Shocks

    Yeah that’s a big reason why I want to do it is for the full 6” lift up front, but also I found out awhile back my front driver strut is leaking and you can hear the squeaking noise when driving the highways on the bumpy roads. Hopefully I’m gonna get it done within the next couple of weeks...

    Pro Comp Prorunner Struts & Shocks

    I’m about to order new struts and shocks for my 2011 Ram 1500 and a buddy of mine recommended the new pro comp prorunner shocks/struts. My truck had a 6 inch pro comp lift and he said these new parts will bring up the front end 2 Inches to get the truck leveled finally. Anyone have any...

    2011 Ram 1500 transmission rebuild

    Been noticing my truck shifting really hard and down shifting hard as well. It’s got right at 131k miles and I bought it when it had 66k so i have no idea what has been done to the transmission before me. Is this something that could just be serviced or is it possible that I may need a...

    Automatic tow mirrors with auto fold!!

    My 2011 Ram has the chrome mirrors on it and I’ve considered upgrading to the chrome tow mirrors. Does the auto fold work on my year model truck or is there an adapter that allows them to work?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    anyone got a fix for the dreded running board coming off?

    This is where mine broke at. Buddy of mine said he’s fixed multiple of them at a truck shop he use to work at. They would just hammer it flat and weld a big washer around it to help support it again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fox Box Question (I searched before posting)

    I ordered my fox box from the car audio shop that did my subs and the box came in in just 3 days. Box was perfectly fine and they knocked out the install fast. I bought the dual 10” box ported and had them put 2 10” Phoenix gold subs with a Phoenix gold 1100 watt amp. System bangs loud as hell...

    Questions for those who have a body lift...

    Every shop I’ve ever gotten a quote from all said the same thing. That it takes damn near all day to install the body lift. And I’m just trying to wonder how the hell does it take that long but they can throw a 6 inch lift with tires and wheels on in 2 hours!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY Bolt on/easy to do performance upgrades

    Definitely looking for better throttle response and for sure some more pony’s. I’m going to be ordering the s&b cold air intake soon. And probably after that get a tuner. I know just with those 2 items it’ll be easily $700 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
