    Trans/TC or something else?

    Gonna get straight to it and I'll do my usual blabbing at the end... I've been having a few things going on lately, need some input before I start literally throwing parts at this thing. I'm also not totally sure if any of it is related but I believe most of it is. 2004 1500 5.7l 2wd 9.25" 3.55...

    Diablosport P2 Platinum Tuner Vin Lock?

    Hey everyone, I'm bringing this here cause I just can't seem to get a hold of Diablosport in the off time I have... So I bought a Predator P2 platinum for my 04 5.7l Ram a while back, immediately wound up with a botched Diablo tune. Guy on the phone said the P2 platinum tunes do not work for the...

    Idling/coasting problem

    So I'm selling my 04 1500 and I've fixed most of the problems I've encountered, but I have one more thing I wanna try to fix. When the weather started getting real cold around the end of December and into January, when the truck warms up and I come to a stop, it idles below 500rpms. If I touch...

    Rear end whining

    So there's been a whining noise coming from my rear end that has gotten worse over the last year and as of today its loud enough to concern me. Could this be the pinion bearing in the rear diff? I've read these are a common issue. Truck is a 2004 1500 2wd with 3.55 rear. Thanks for any help.

    Need an intermediate steering shaft

    The lower u-joint on the steering shaft has a fair amount of play in it and it's got my steering real sloppy. Anyone know of a reputable place to get the lower intermediate steering shaft? I've seen a few online but I'm not sure who I can rely on.

    Truck won't start after successfully installing Diablosport 87 octane tune

    I bought the Predator P2 Platinum for my 04 5.7 ram 1500, updated the tuner, installed the 87 octane tune successfully, now my truck won't start. After the tune installed it cleared DTCs, and after being told everything was successful I unplugged the tuner and turned the ignition on. Heard...

    Speedometer 4mph off after tire/wheel size change

    Put new and taller tires on my 04 1500 5.7 yesterday and she's reading 4 mph too slow. I'm pretty sure the 20" dodge chrome clads that are on it arent stock... My door says there are 17s on it. Rear diff gear is 3.55. I went from 285/45R20 to 275/60R20. It feels just a tad bit more sluggish in...

    My engine light came on a while back (code p0111) so I've been dealing with my IAT sensor and this odd wire... Here's the video explaining.

    Popping while turning either direction

    Let me start off by saying I have all new upper control arms and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel hub/bearings. Within the past week and a half my 1500 reg cab 2wd has developed a popping noise while turning the wheels and now it's pretty loud. It happens sitting still and moving but...

    Slight engine noise. 04 5.7 hemi.

    1500 reg. Cab 2wd if it helps any... But my motor (I assume) is making a slight chat noise. It doesn't happen at cold start... About halfway to operating temp the chatter starts, when the motor is at operating temp the noise quiets down a bit. It follows the sound of the exhaust. I've replaced...

    I Need pointers on flushing coolant.

    So I bought an 04 single cab Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi about 6 months ago. To be honest, I've never owned anything like this and the most I've done to it so far was new exhaust system (headers, pipes, etc..) and of course the oil change. My fan clutch went out so I pulled it and now I wanna go...
