    Recommended tire pressure for Falken Wilpeak AT3Ws

    What's the recommended psi to run with for a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. I just bought some for my 2018 Ram 1500 and the tires have a load range of 119s, so a D1 load index. My previous tires were KO2s with the same load range and load index and I always ran them between 48-50 psi with zero...

    Nitto Ridge Grapplers or Falken Wildpeak AT3/W

    Looking to get new tires for my truck (2018 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4). I currently have BFGoodrich KO2s and although they're great tires, they never had very good traction on wet surfaces. I'm trying to decide between the ridge grapplers and the falken wildpeaks. Overall, here is what I'm curious...

    New tire question

    So I've put about 65,000 miles on my BFGoodrich KO2s and I'm now needing to start looking for new tires. I've gotten a lot of use out of my KO2s and I couldn't be happier with them, except for one aspect and that is with wet traction. They haven't exactly been that great on wet roads so I'm...

    Wiper blade replacement

    I feel a little bit embarrassed for asking how to do what should be a very simple procedure but here goes. I'm replacing my second set of windshield wiper blades and I don't know exactly why but these things are damn near impossible to remove. I don't remember having much trouble at all when I...

    Switching to Vararam intake

    This might be a stupid question but I’m wanting to switch over from my S&B intake to a Vararam intake. As I’m sure you all know, the S&B requires you get rid of the o-ring on your MAF sensor and use the supplied rubber grommet. Well, my question is since I don’t seem to have that o-ring anymore...

    loose CAI

    I went to replace my air filter for my s&b intake because the old one had gotten damaged from constantly taking it out when I was trying to get the air intake installed, trying to get everything to stay in place, etc. As I went to replace the filter, I noticed the air box was just a little bit...

    thread tap size

    How do I find the correct thread tap size for a factory 13mm bolt hole? I have a 2018 ram 1500 and I've been trying to install this S&B cold air intake. The problem is that the 13mm bolt that connects to the bracket on the air box and then bolts into the fender well will not fully tighten...

    CAI or drop-in filter

    Quick question: If I have absolutely no desire to spend hundreds of dollars on a tuner, trying to find the best one with good customer support behind it, etc. is it at all worth it to get a cold air intake for my truck or is it better to just go with a drop-in filter? I keep hearing conflicting...

    Front fender liner screws/push pins

    This is a picture of my front fender liner on the passenger side of my truck. Is there supposed to be a plastic push pin in this first picture? Also, I noticed there are what appears to be 4 screws missing from each front fender liner and it’s exactly the same on each side. Is this normal or are...

    Metallic buzzing noise

    I’ve been having this noise with my truck for a few months now and the best way to describe it is a metallic buzzing sound. The noise only seems to occur while the truck is accelerating. I hear the noise primarily in the front on the driver’s side however I have looked underneath my truck in...

    Strange rattling sound from driver's side while accelerating

    For the past few weeks, I've been hearing this very annoying metallic rattling sound that occurs when I'm accelerating. The strange thing is that it doesn't do this all the time for some reason. I've checked the heat shield(s), the exhaust system, the brake shield before the rotor and all seem...

    Hemi tick

    So this morning I started up my truck and heard the infamous ticking sound that the Hemis are supposedly notorious for. I took it to my local mechanic to see if they could take a look at it. They said that because the noise only happens at cold start, that they would need to keep the truck for...

    corsa sport exhaust

    Those of you who have a corsa sport exhaust on your trucks, how would you describe the sound? Is it as raspy sounding in real life as it is in videos or does it have more of a deep tone? I'm just wondering because whenever I listen to it, it sounds like it would be more fitting on a car than a...

    Ballast for HID bulbs

    What type of ballast do I need for upgrading my low beams in my projector headlights to HID? I'm seeing so many different choices (35 watt, 35 watt CANBUS, 55 watt, 55 watt CANBUS) and I just need to know which one is going to work the best to eliminate any possible flickering issues or warning...

    Diablo tuner options

    I’m planning on doing some performance upgrades to my truck in the near future and I want to start off with a CAI and then a tune soon after. When I look at the options for the trinity programmer from Diablo, there are two options available, unlocked pcm swap and modified pcm. I assume the...

    sporty/european race car exhaust

    This is more of a question of curiosity than anything else but is there an exhaust system out there that gives the ram 1500 5.7 hemi a sporty, almost european race car sound to it? Something in between the deep, throaty tone of a flowmaster and the raspy sound of a corsa. So far, my favorite is...

    headlight and foglight upgrade

    I'm wanting to upgrade my headlights and fog lights to either LED or HID or even a combination of the two but I'm unsure of how to go about doing it. I have a 2018 Ram 1500 Sport and so my headlights have projector lenses. From what I've read, the ideal type of headlight bulb to use for a...

    Resonator delete

    Those of you who have upgraded to a more aggressive sounding exhaust and later decided to delete the resonators, was there any annoying drone that occurred as a result of removing the resonators?

    true dual exhaust

    I currently have a flowmaster super 44 muffler on my truck and I absolutely love it. However, I am considering changing my current dual exhaust to a true dual system, meaning I would need to get a new muffler. My question is, is there any significant benefit in terms of performance or mpg into...

    8 speed transmission fluid

    M truck has the 8 speed auto and although Mopar says the fluid is "lifetime" and ZF says you should change it every 50,000-75,000 miles, I was wondering which one to go by. I currently have 60,000 miles on my truck, have never towed anything with it and keep up with other maintenance on it...

    leveling kit question

    Over the past couple of days, I've been looking at leveling kits for my 2018 Ram 1500. I know that with anything, especially things that alter your suspension, you get what you pay for. So I was wondering, those of you who have the basic 2 inch spacer leveling kit that you can find for under...

    brake fluid flush

    Hi, A couple of weeks ago, I had my oil changed in my truck and they recommended a brake fluid flush. Being someone who has never had this service done before, I decided to get a few different opinions from different mechanics and one of them said not to change it until you reach about 100,000...

    Driver's side window will not roll up automatically

    As I'm sure we are aware, the 4th gen Rams and I would imagine the 5th gens as well, I assume regardless of trim level, all come with automatic driver and front passenger windows, meaning you hold the button down for like 2 seconds and it's supposed to go down or up, depending on the direction...

    2018 ram 1500 crew cab n-fab black epyx running boards

    I bought a set of these steps about a week ago: https://realtruck.com/p/n-fab-black-epyx-steps/v/ram/truck-1500/2018/ Everyone says they are extremely easy to install; however, I am not having any such luck for some reason. The truck in the installation video has a completely different...
