    FRAM filters quality

    Back few years ago, FRAM filters were known for flaking fibers of the filtering material. Today I bought one of their filters for V6 RAM in our family. That's the worst one I have seen in a long time. Look at that "peach fuzz" in the second picture. Never mind the oily spots, it's from my...

    High gas prices - better deals on trucks?

    I wonder how rising gas prices will affect large truck and SUV price tags this time around. In early 2000's when oil price went up, everyone wanted hybrids or small economy cars and dealerships were offering great deals on gas "gazzlers". Maybe a good time to buy one of them in the near future...

    Is there a 65RFE to 8HP70 swap guide?

    Just as the title says: Is there a 6sp to 8sp transmission swap guide available anywhere online? Would really like to see one, as I am (and many others) are looking to do in the near future. I'd pitch in to help offset cost and trouble for recording the process. We have a few really good...

    Stored DTC

    Do stored codes clear after a few drive cycles? Something as simple as when an ignition coil left unplugged and engine started, MIL popped up. The engine was shut off and the MIL cleared successfully. But, if one scans for DTC's, the same code is displayed as "stored". No rough idle, the engine...

More pronounced in passenger side. I hear metal tap when moving the wheel side to side, feels like...

    9.25 ZF trutrac, direct install?

    Thinking of adding Limited slip to my 2014 3.55 rear end. Debating whether to get OEM Anti-slip or new Trutrac. Both from Moes. OEM seems to be a direct install. What about Trutrac? Direct replacement of open diff carrier or anything else needed? Also, your opinion which one is better for...

    Enable 2nd prime 65RFE, worth it?

    Considering turning on 2nd prime gear in 65RFE in 2014 HEMI. Is it worth it for a daily driver, since 2nd prime is so close in ratio to the third (see below)? Getting HP tuner soon. Watched a few videos on youtube where people did that, but didn't seem that there's a whole lot of difference...

    Hub centric rings.

    I purchased new Pro Comp wheel/tire combo from 4wheelpart. PC AT Sport 285/70/17 on PC 45 Proxy wheels. The store balanced them. All good, except when hit about 65-75 mph, the steering wheel get a little shimmy. Not bad on a very smooth stretch of a hwy, but much more pronounced on a rougher...

    Different shocks front and rear.

    So, I leveled the truck with Rough Country 2" leveling coilovers. It looks slightly nose high. I decided to lift rear with Eibach 1" lift springs and RC 0-3" shocks. The shocks were on a backorder till mid May, now that's been pushed to June... My question is, should I wait or order Eibach rear...

    Manifold to Cat gasket.

    Does anyone know what kind of a gasket goes in between exhaust manifold and catalytic converter on RAM 1500 HEMI? I have exhaust leak in that area. Before I tear it apart I'd like to have everything ready.

    Post manifold bolts replacement finding

    As, I had mentioned before, two months ago my 2014 5.7 snapped both sides manifold bolts (two per side). I had a small local shop take care of the issue. They removed the bolts (all of them, according to the tech working on it), belt sanded the manifolds and reassembled all, for $758. Truck has...

Cruising on a HWY, fan is on second setting, temp dial right in between blue and red. AC is on. Noticed that, momentarily, warm air out of vents became cold and...
