    Need a little help on the warped exhaust repair

    Finally got it finished. Had to re-learn a basic mechanic rule. Don't tighten anything till all the bolts are started. The other lesson that I already knew was when using a mirror to look at a tight spot to start a bolt, you must work from the mirror image. I kept trying to move the manifold the...

    Need a little help on the warped exhaust repair

    First, I am 65 years old, and still decided to try this repair..Okay I have the old manifold off (passenger side), its been resurfaced on the belt sander, and ready to install. My mistake was buying the new gaskets from an individual 30 miles away. He said they were felpro..now I know they...

    Exhaust manifold swap years.

    I have a used set of exhaust manifolds from an '06 hemi 5.7. Will they fit a 2017 hemi 5.7 as well? I want to get these resurfaced and ready to go before I remove the old ones from my truck. thanks

    Just need a little brake advice.

    I installed the PowerStop brakes last week and I am well pleased with them. Never been one to pay much attention to brake performance, noise or dust for that matter. With this late model truck I am trying to be more attentive than I was with my old beaters I used to drive. I barely touch the...

    Mopar OEM locking lug nuts for sale

    Lost my key, as I left it on the locking lug nut I guess. I'd like to buy 4 original OEM nuts to replace the keyed ones. I can borrow a key from a buddy. How much for 4 OEM's

    Just need a little brake advice.

    So...I purchased the PowerStop Z36 front and rear kit from Amazon. Based on the advice from the good folks on this forum. NOT looking forward to the install, but I have never paid to have brakes installed. At age 63 I may soon rethink this issue, its getting harder to get up and down on a garage...

    Just need a little brake advice.

    Makes sense, I never considered the effect of the tongue weight on the rear braking. I think I'd better replace all the rotors and pads as a complete update to the system.

    Just need a little brake advice.

    I've been researching the brake threads on here, and I'd like to describe my towing situation and get your advice. I have a 2017 Bighorn 5.7 and I tow a 24ft Tritoon with one set of disc axle brakes on the trailer. The dry weight of the boat is under 2900 lbs. Not sure if that includes the motor...

    Remote oil filter how-to

    I originally posted last spring about the transadapt kit leaking from I blown out pin hole in the casting, and they sent me another right away which took care of the problem. I used cheap ebay 10 AN fittings which worked well for awhile, but late this summer I've developed a small leak that I...

    Why on Earth do people want to disable MDS? (Hemi newb here)

    Why hasn't someone come up with a way to fool the computer so the MDS never kicks in? Brother of mine has a Honda van that has been "fixed" so the technology never comes into play. I pull a 26 foot pontoon a dozen times or more each summer with my 2017, about 4500 lbs I guess, and I don't...

    Remote oil filter how-to

    Followup. I called the contact number for Trans adapt and immediately talk to a very nice man. He asked me to send a picture or short video of the oil leak, which I was happy to do. He was very apologetic and said that was a very rare failure, and in fact he was going to share that short video...

    Remote oil filter how-to

    I got back to my leaking trans adapter kit today. This is a follow-up on my post from a couple of weeks ago. I tried to be very thorough. I've already pressure tested my 10 An braided oil lines on the bench. Made sure I got the oring seated properly on the block side adapter. Actually capped...

    Remote oil filter how-to

    What would be the best way to remove the metric thread nipple without damaging the threads on it should I determine that it needs to be trimmed a bit? It is possible that the O-ring had squished out as suggested in the post above. I knew better but I did not take pains to make sure it was...

    Remote oil filter how-to

    I just installed the transadapter kit and when I started the engine oil was pouring from the block adapter. Shut it off, removed the 10 AN lines and tightened the adapter some more. Topped off the oil, started it again and still pouring out. Couldn't see where it was leaking from, there was a...

    Oil filter relocation thread?

    I'd like to hear if anybody else had this problem. I'm an industrial mechanic and I should have paid attention to that o-ring. I know that often times they will be slightly bigger in circumference then the groove they fit in. At times I've had to even them out till it lays in the groove...

    Oil filter relocation thread?

    I think I've already answered my question to the problem but here it is. Finished up my filter relocation yesterday afternoon. I started it up and all was pouring out. Shut it off cleaned it up, took my lines off at the filter adapter and tightened it a little more since I didn't put it on much...

    Oil filter relocation thread?

    I'm trying to find the older thread about the trans adapt oil filter relocation kit. For some reason searching on my phone on this forum refuses to pull up any results. I've had problems with the install, and I'd rather stay with the original thread instead of starting a new one. Can someone...

    uconnect auto plays my spotify

    I keep my samsung connected to the uconnect, and every time I power up the truck (2017 Bighorn) my previous Spotify playist begins to play, and the app is not even open. This is driving me crazy and I don't know how to prevent it. I reach over and mute the unit, but after a dozen or so seconds...
