    Siphon transmission fluid

    I screwed up and put too much fluid in after changing out the filters, etc... Now I'm getting the P0871 code and I need to pull some out. Heard that you can siphon some off, but what would you use for that?

    35X12.50R20 vs 285/60R20

    Not finding any information about this so I'll ask. As the title says, I'm wanting to discover if the 35X12.50R20 will fit a wheel that easily accommodates my current 285/60R20's. Clearance isn't an issue on my 2500. Just want to make sure the tires can be mounted before dropping cash on them...

    Vin questions

    So a friend's 2007 RAM with the VIN 3d7ks19d77g831666 says it's a 1500 but it's quite obviously a 2500 mega cab. The rearend has a 10.5 and the front is a 9.25. Does this sound correct? We're trying to find more information about the truck so that we can re-gear to 4.10 but I want to make...

    Steering stabilizer

    Truck has a 2.5 inch level. It's perfectly aligned and balanced. My only irritation is when I get over 60mph, I notice some vibration in the steering. Nothing crazy, but I'm needing to check the steering stabilizer for sure. I'm about to add the steering box bracket to stiffen things up as...

    Skyjacker BlackMax shocks

    I can't find any information in regard to whether or not these shocks are adjustable. I'm sitting just a tad lower on the rear passenger side and looking for options to correct what annoys only me.

    Looking for advice

    I pulled the trigger and upgraded from my 18 1500 Bighorn to a 2016 2500 Lonestar with the Cummins. Got the truck with only 61k on the odometer and it was deleted already with the four selection switch, a lift, and aftermarket rims. Got it with an all encompassing warranty that doesn't care...

    Sway bar end links

    Is the RWD 1500 equipped with these end links? Having trouble finding information on this. I have just replaced my rear end link with a Moog. The dealership is trying to claim that the looseness in my drivetrain is from the front end links so I'm replacing all of them in an attempt to prove...

    Pulsar

    Considering getting a Pulsar because I really don't want the hassle of doing a full tune since I'm only keeping this 18 another year or so before moving up into an HD. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the axle settings to change it to read a 4.10 properly?

    Lifter tick and check

    Was told by an FCA tech about checking the top of the motor for a screen that may potentially have metal flakes there and to take pictures before taking to the dealership. He said that if the metal is in that screen, they will replace the motor since it means there's aluminum everywhere. Does...

    Revolution 4.10 ordered from Moe's

    Just installed the 4.10 I got from Moe's. What a difference coming from a 3.21!!! Thankfully, since I know the owner of the shop I only had to pay $300 for the install and the 500 mile oil change. I can't wait to tow with this setup now. It's already such a huge difference driving in our hill...

    Door panel parts

    I need to find the round plastic piece that trims the door lock on top of the door panel. I also need the push locks for the door panels. Some of mine have disappeared thanks to my mistake. I just like to maintain the look of my truck. Ty in advance for any and all pointers.

    Timbren DR1500DQ

    https://timbren.com/blog/products-page/dr1500dq/ These fit 4th gen 1500's. They literally replace the stock bump-stops. I've used them for about 7 months and upgraded to a new airbag system. I hauled a TT and these completely eliminated any and all squat while firming up the ride and...

    3.21 to 4.10 -- The continuing saga

    So I'm for sure going to pull the trigger and install a 4.10 (very much considering a LSD at the same time) and my wife thinks that I'm wasting my money. I haul a large camper and we live in hill/mountain country and this would be a big upgrade. How in the world do I explain that I'm not just...

    Changing gear ratio

    When I swap from the 3.21 to the 3.92 in my 2wd, what else do I need to supply (bearings, etc..) to the shop? I know I can save a good deal purchasing the parts myself. I want to add a high end oil to the rear end at the swap too. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

    Gear ratios and towing weight capacities

    I've been searching a lot and still have yet to see real numbers for towing capacity using the ZF using different rear ends other than the 3.21 and the 3.92 that are factory options. I know the 3.92 effectively adds the ability to tow about 2k more than the 3.21. What does the 4.10 do for you...

    Muffler delete, drone, and Carvens

    I did a full delete. It's a mind blowing experience. When I crank up the truck, every dude in a parking lot turns around to see what kind of beast just made all that noise. Every lady that happens to be around smiles at me. My wife doesn't find that part amusing in the slightest. My main...

    Compressor kits

    I've been doing a bit of digging to find information on different compressor kits. I have airbags, but I'm price shopping the compressor kits. The problem I'm running into is that the vast majority of the info is about Air Lift brand stuff (expensive). I can't even find adequate info on the...

    Muffler delete issue

    I love the sound of the muffler delete, but I'm faced with an additional issue. With the 8 spd, I'm constantly sitting between 1.7 and 2k on the tach and it's absolute hell on our ears with drone. I have to manually downshift to keep it just over 2k so that it doesn't drone us to death. This...

    Muffler delete

    Pulled the trigger on a B2 Fabrication delete kit last night. Can't wait! I'll post a video of the mean sounding exhaust when it gets here. Was about to buy a Carven comp before I found this delete and heard it. Played it for my wife and her eyes lit up. It was like the old days when we were...

    Sloshing sound

    Does anyone hear the fuel in their tank sloshing around when the truck is quiet and you're moving? Whenever I brake or accelerate especially going up and down the mountain we live on I notice that I hear sloshing quite a bit. Right now my tank is about half full. I guess I'm just a little...

    Carven Comp

    I have a 2018 Crew Cab and I do a bit of towing with a travel trailer. I'm wondering if anyone feels like there's a lot of drone when sitting at 3k on the tach if you're pulling up a hill. I love the sound of the comp and I live in the sticks so I could care less how loud the truck is in my...

    CarID

    The products were shipped quickly, but the customer service is terrible. Everyone has a thick accent and is hard to communicate with. They also make it ridiculous to return something. It was so ridiculous trying to return my unused Dashmat, that I just ate the 60 dollars and kept it. I will...

    MDS

    I have a 2018. I've read quite a few times about MDS, throttle response, fuel economy, engine noise, etc.. Here's my experience with the system. After almost 4k miles, I see absolutely no fuel mileage advantage. I still get about 15 mpg or less here in the hill country. Might help someone who...
