    crown vs ziebart rust proofing

    Northen Ontario here and like others have said our roads are salted like it's going out of style. Have had Krown applied annually and my 2016 Ram 1500 is still in amazing condition for it's age. On that note, please never ever under any circumstance get Ziebart on a vehicle ever again. May as...

    Shutter on acceleration

    Sorry I haven't been active here lately since making the post. Hectic work season with all of the forest fires in Canada this year. Long story short, I have decided to trade my truck in. My truck has been fully paid off for a few years now and I was able to talk a dealer into giving me 25.5k...

    Shutter on acceleration

    Nothing yet. The mechanic at the shop dealing with my truck told me to keep driving it until something completely breaks or my transmission grenades since he said it doesn't seem to affect drivability. Not really the response I was looking for.

    Shutter on acceleration

    Hello everyone. Have been experiencing a shutter lately with some stranger properties I’ll list below. Little bit of a long post but if anyone has any insight into what I could potentially look into I’d love to hear it. Vehicle info: 2016 1500 Sport 4x4. 124,000km/77,000miles. For the last...

    Serpentine Belt Life Expectancy

    2016 1500 Sport, had around 90,000km/56,000miles when I noticed a hole through the original belt and a few torn ribs. Still not sure exactly what caused the hole. Luckily caught it the day before I moved and was towing a trailer.

    Mopar vs Weathertech mats

    I have had front and rear Weathertech mats in my 2016 since the day I bought the truck. 7 years later now and not even the slightest bit of curling in them. They sit fit excellent. I do remove them regularly to clean and wipe down and I can never get them back to looking brand new and perfectly...

    ABS Light and Service ABS message after moving from heated garage to outside

    Hello everyone, been awhile since posting here. Here is the situation. My mother just purchased a brand new 2022 Ram 1500 Sport. She hasn't fully taken delivery yet but received a text from the dealer that the ABS light and service ABS system message came on the dash after moving the truck...

    RP 20-820 are gone, what do I do now?

    Do not purchase from this site, it's a scam site. Quick google search running the site through scam detectors, and checking reviews which 100% of reviews state never receiving parts ordered, as well as looking up the address on the website coming up as a residential home.

    Upgrading to headers--few questions

    Good evening Lamarsh. So to break this down, starting with the shorty headers. Don't cheap out, go for something quality like JBA or Kooks if you can afford them. Other cheaper brands have a terrible rep for cracking. As for performance you will be perfectly fine with the rest of your system...

    PCV valve

    I changed mine out just as a routine maintenance item when I added a catch can at around 40,000km. O ring was cut and about to tear apart completely so I am glad I checked it

    My exhaust manifold bolt saga

    The best thing you can do if you don't plan to upgrade to shorty headers(this will eliminate the problem fully forever) is to check how true the flange is with a straight edge. Throw it on a belt sander or have a machine shop do it for you. Once warped they shouldn't warp any further and break...

    Header Bolts Dealer replacement procedure

    I'll throw my 2 cents in as I just recently had to deal with a broken stud on the passenger side (95,000km) so I luckily still had my powertrain. I talked with a service advisor and the tech doing the job for a bit before leaving the dealer while they did the work. They fully acknowledged the...

    Ability to handle snow

    I would just like to chime in and say that the chances of 6-8" of snow causing a belt slippage which resulted in your low battery charge are VERY slim to none, as well as cold temperatures. Living in far northern Ontario and having driven through 2+ feet of snow on the roads at speeds higher...

    Moes Performance - shipping to Canada

    Welcome new guy, fellow SSM ram owner here. It's handy being right on the border being able to use that system, when the border is open of course lol

    best engine mods for more power

    Have you already purchased the rough country lift? If not, can I please steer you away from it. Rough Country is absolutely bottom of the barrel trash. How they ever got a name for themselves is beyond me. You'll have nothing but headaches with it. If you haven't already, get an oil catch can...

    Are the Current Hemi motors still eating Cams and Lifters?

    Simple answer, yes the cam/lifter problem is still a thing and can affect even the 2021's they use the exact same 5.7hemi that has been used since 2009. They tried new needle bearings in 2016 which was suppose to the be "fix" but it wasn't. Best thing you can do for your engine is maintain it...

    Best A/T Tire

    I’m a little late to the party but I have been running Goodyear Duratracs on my 2016 for 70,000km now. I live in northern Ontario where we get an insane amount of snow and they have performed amazing. As they wear down though they do start to get noisy but nothing the radio can’t handle. Will...

    Exhaust Manifolds and Extended Warranties

    Good morning. Short answer is no, the exhaust manifold issue has not been fixed, the 5.7 hemi design and manifolds are the exact same even on 2021 ram trucks. As it is not a safety issue in anyway requiring a recall they will never look into fixing it. I myself never buy extended warranty on...

    Optional Oil Filter?

    Royal Purple 20-820 oil filter. Hands down the best filter you can use for our engines

    2019+ Holding Value extremely well

    While not a 5th gen I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 that I check often and just kick tires with dealers. My truck is very clean and well maintained with 93,000km(57,000miles). My most recent trade in offer from the dealership was $27,500. I only owe $18,200 on it so not too bad I would say.

    Hole in Drive Belt

    No damage to any of the pulleys thankfully. Quick 5 minute change at least nothing major before I move
