    Raptor liner

    Hey fellas I got a question about raptor liner. I am curious if my air compressor is gonna be good enough. I have a MI-T-M AM1-HE02-05M 2hp 5 gallon. It’s produces 4.2cfm at 90psi. I imagine I’ll have to take breaks but I was curious if it’s even worth trying it. I can plum in another 5 gallon...

    Gear wear pattern

    My backlash at various spots it’s right around .008”. It can be heard very faintly in the 60mph range. It’s a louder pickup so I’m not stressing about the noise too much but my curiosity is killing me. The humming noise goes go away when coasting at those noisy speeds. Originally I was using...

    Gear wear pattern

    I did take quite a few patterns down when I was setting the gears up and the pattern looked good as far as I could tell but I am very new at setting differentials. I’ll attach some pics of the last pattern I took last winter. What do you guys think I’m in for if I keep running it like this?

    Gear wear pattern

    Okay so I would have to shim my pinion a bit deeper?

    Gear wear pattern

    Hey fellas. Got a couple pics of the gear tooth wear in my 9.25. I was curious what you guys thought. Last winter I did my first ring and pinion. I installed nitro 4.10 gears along with all new bearings. As much as I thought I did everything correctly I’m assuming I set them up wrong. I gathered...

    Gears are humming

    I’m currently running Amsoil in it. It may be a slight bend in the driveshaft but I don’t recall it humming before the new gear install. I know things spin a fair bit faster now but even at uncomfortably high speeds with the old gears it was relatively quiet… darn thing has me stumped. I...

    Gears are humming

    Unfortunately no. I readjusted twice and installed a new set of gears but still had the same problem… the contact patters I came up with we’re looking pretty good to me but it still makes the humming noise at high speeds. Went through everything with a fine tooth comb when I changed the fluid...

    Front axle gussets

    Hey guys. I was curious if anyone knew what gussets will work with the Dana 44 CAD under my 98 ram? I was told the inner Cs were different from the jeep 44s.

    Front differential and axle assembly

    Make sure it’s the same gear ratio. There’s not much of a difference other than the brake calipers but they should work just fine.

    Rear diff at 200 degrees

    Hey guys I recently rebuilt my front and rear diff. I started hearing some gear hum during my high speed break in runs (around 65 it starts to humm). I installed 4.10 gears and heard that a little noise is OK… not sure if that’s true or not. With that I am past the short runs and are onto the...

    conflicting information about rim compatibility

    I have had 15x10 steelies on both my 2nd gen 4wd and they fit just fine. My 00 does have dual piston calipers and has about 3/8 of an inch clearance. I’ve never had a 2wd but I imagine they would be pretty similar. If it’s only the wheel your worried about I would pull the old wheel and tire off...

    Options for setting fuel sync

    Understandable, I have a feeling I got a little lucky when I dropped my cam in without setting the sync. It wasn’t all that much more of a cam though. For everyone else that might be wondering though the new Autel MX808 will set sync once it’s updated. Just make sure you get one for your region...

    Gears are humming

    Hey guys I just finished installing a new gears in my diff and im currently in the break in process. When doing my 20 minute highway runs I noticed it starts humming when I get into the 70mph range. I rebuilt my driveshaft as well with a new slip yoke but only took care of some vibration was...

    Options for setting fuel sync

    That’s my thought process in the beginning when I put the motor in five years ago. I ran it without setting the fuel sync for about 4 years with no problems what so ever. I set it last year with my buddies snap on just for piece of mind. With that said I am in the midst of tuning along with a...

    Options for setting fuel sync

    Hey guys I’m opening another magnum fuel sync discussion. My question is if anyone knows of another scan tool I can purchase that will set fuel sync. I know the snap on and the DRB2 but they are a bit expensive. I’m really looking at a autel mx808 but I don’t know if it will do what I need. If...

    Trac-lok worth it?

    The only reason I was thinking about doing it is because the winters can be a little rough at times. Other than that I might take it on some trails in the future but who knows. The truck is definitely a pavement princess don’t get me wrong. But thanks for the reply man!

    Trac-lok worth it?

    Hey guys! Hope I’m in the right place… still kind of new. Anyway I am gonna be swapping the front and rear gears in my truck from 3.55s to 4.10s. I have been thinking about getting a limited slip or a locker for the truck and not sure what is best for me. I was at the junk yard today and pulled...

    Tune problems

    Hey guys got some problems with tuning. I have a 98 Dodge Ram with a modified 318 paired with a NV4500. Going through a guy that’s helping me tune my truck with the SCT X3. My problem is that when I upload a tune it pops codes for sensors concerning the automatic transmissions. (I will list the...

    Gear ratio problems

    Thanks for the help guys. 4.56 came up in my mind as a good ratio. Another bit of info on it is that I’m only running 33 inch tires on it. I was also curious of what you guys though about 4.10 gears which would be a little better fuel economy.

    Gear ratio problems

    Hey guys Doing a bit of figuring out here and I hope I’m in the right place. I have a 98 ram with slightly modified 318. Behind that 318 I have a nv4500 I swapped in last year. It originally had the nv3500. Anyway I would like to be able to use 5th gear a little better. My problem is that it...

    4th gen 1500 mirrors on 2nd gen

    Hey guys! I’m getting tired of my stock mirrors shaking in my 98 Dodge Ram so I think it’s time to upgrade. I was thinking about getting a set of 4th gen mirrors but I’m not a big fan of tow mirrors. Does anyone know if the 4th gen 1500 non tow mirrors will bolt up to my 98? I’m not worried...

    Transfer case questions

    Hey guys! My first post here on the forum and have some questions about the NP231. I am building my 98 Dodge Ram with the 318 and I’m currently trying to swap out my NV3500 for my NV4500. I have just about everything I need including a very hard to find bell housing, however I ran into another...
