    2015 Ram Sport Headlight Replacement

    I don't know much about the Perde brand but they are running OEM bulbs, 9012 and 9005. I would choose them over aftermarket headlights running H7, H1 or H9 projectors which tend to be weak with a terrible beam pattern. I'd run HID in the low beams (projectors) and LED in the high beams.

    Help shed light on Headlights

    I also have a 2015 Ram that I'm in the process of building a set of custom headlights for. In the meantime I needed some better light output so I added some HID bulbs and ballast. I picked up some NHK 9012 bulbs off eBay for $32 and I used Hylux 2A88 canbus ballast and the output is amazing. The...

    2nd gen tranny in a 3rd gen?

    What your asking is if you can swap out your 545RFE to and older trans such as a 46RE. It can be done and has been done by many who race their 3rd Gens because the the 46RE can be built to handle more power. Its not cheap and I don't think it's what you're looking for but check out Cope Racing...

    Fake Bighorn ?

    It sounds like the body shop are being A-Holes. Many years ago I put Thunder Road emblems on my 2004 and the Thunder Road was an appearance package that didn't come out until 2005. When my fiancé was sideswiped in the truck, the body shop replaced the RAM 1500 and the Thunder Road emblems on the...

    Squeaky suspension

    I also have a 2004 1500 4X4 that had the most annoying squeaking in the front suspension. I tried spraying and lubricating everything and never really got it to stop. I ended up rebuilding the whole entire front steering and suspension, now its as quiet as it was when new. Upon disassemble I...

    AlfaOBD programmed a replacement Key fob ok but it stopped working

    Key fobs are one of the things that I will always buy genuine OEM. You can usually find them new on ebay for around half of what the dealer would charge.

    Phoenix Automotive 13" 2013-2018 Android 10 head unit

    That looks nice but I'd be concerned about it being sold running on Android 10, which was released almost 4 years ago. Android is up to version 13 now, will this unit be updated? Also, how long does Phoenix offer support and software updates? Another concern, the link that you provided shows it...

    Like somebody else already mentioned, now would be the time to swap in a 6.4, especially if you can do the work yourself.

    Evap codes

    Never had any problems taking the fuel. However, if I try to top it off after the pump stops, sometimes it will trigger a check engine light.

    Evap codes

    I was getting code P0442, Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak). From what I've read people were suggesting to replace the gas cap, the vapor canister purge solenoid, the vapor leak detection pump and hope for the best. After initial inspection I didn't find anything and...

    Is Rambox still available on Limited?

    When the 5th Gens were first released, I asked the Ram rep at the 2019 Philly Auto Show about the availability of the Rambox. He said "the Rambox will be available on the 1500 with the 6'4" bed starting in 2020". Well its now 2023 and it is still not available. On the 4th Gens, you could have...

    Firestone Alignment specs suck?/Caster adjustment?

    I have 2004 1500 but mine is a 4X4. I recently rebuilt the whole entire front suspension and I was told that a Front Alignment Caster Camber Kit is usually required to get a proper alignment on these trucks. I purchased the kit off eBay and installed it before I took it for alignment. I also...

    Heater Core Hose Question!

    There's no valve in the heater hoses. The temperature is controlled by the blend doors which are inside your HVAC box under the dash. The coolant tank on the 3.7 is pressurized with a radiator cap. As far as the heater return hose going to the coolant tank, thats just the way it was designed.

    2004 2500 5.7 coolant reservoir help

    I have a 2004 1500 with 5.7 and it has the same NON pressurized coolant reservoir (52028836AB) as the OP. After some research I've found that the early trucks could have came with this setup but it was replaced with a setup that combines the coolant reservoir and washer fluid reservoir into one...

    Signing papers tomorrow…2 decisions to make…

    The Big Horn has some great value packages if you're looking for an affordable truck. However, I've found that once you start adding individual options, you're quickly above the starting price of the Laramie trim. I've seen Big Horns priced well over 60K and you still cant get leather seats or...

    AC/heather issuies

    If your blower is on running on high but there's no air coming out of any vents I would check recirculation door. This can be accessed by removing the blower motor. The same thing happened to my 2004, the recirc door fell and was completely covering the blower motor opening. If that's the case...

    H7 headlight bulb to 2007 harness adapter?

    What type of aftermarket headlights did you purchase? Are they projector or reflector? Also, I think you meant 9007 bulbs, because that's what your OEM bulb is. That being said, a H7 bulb will not fit in or work in place of a 9007. They do not share the same base and the H7 is a single filament...
