Oil sample extraction...how are you doing it?
I bought a little manual pump kit like the enclosed today to try to extract through the dipstick. I had enough tubing to bottom out in the dipstick. It wasn't getting anything to speak of. So I tested to make sure it was working by sticking the same length of tubing in a bottle of spare oil & it...- buddy guy

New tires, TPMS and tire pressure
I'm getting new tires Tuesday to replace the SRA's. While still a passenger type tire (not LT) they do have a higher max pressure rating than the SRAs (SRAs are 44, new ones are 51). So I guess a few questions: If the new tires are run at say 45lb vs the 39 lb on the door jamb for the SRA's... -
Carven exhaust tips-clamp bolt torque?
Be damned if I can find what the bolt torque is on the carven clamps on the old interweb. Anyone before I drive down the road & merrily drop a tip?- buddy guy

exhaust drone...mood? discouraged
After having an MagnaFlow 22" muffler that I loved the tone of but hated the 1500-2000 rpm drone level for the past year, I decided before my long road trip this summer to try to tackle it. I asked for recommendation from the installer and he advised to put a resonator in front of the muffler...- buddy guy

rear coil spacers-well now what:)
So I decided I wanted to have a bit of rake back on my 2018 Ram 1500. My initial plan was to go with a replacement coil, only to get a bit of added height. I contacted Tuff Trucks and they recommended the 1223VT I think it is called based on my perimeters. Added rear height but no towing, rarely... -
Let's talk about square vs round tires?
I hope y'all know what I mean. It strikes me that some tires (and I think they tend to be AT or MT tires?) look very flat across the top and almost a 90% angle drop to the sidewall. And damn..they always catch my eye. It gives them a beefier look to me. Now I'm curious if there are certain... -
seat belt latch issue
2018 ram quad cab here. found out a few weeks ago that my passenger side front seat belt is having an issue. it won't just click in like it should. the tab easily goes into the slot, but you have to hold the red button down, put the tab in, then release it to latch. so basically it won't... -
Drone-seems to me to be an easy way to check if you have it or not
i look forward one day to installing a no drone muffler and yes, its my issue, but drives me nuts to read no drone posts without a clip given its kind of a holy grail thing....and not a cheap thing to change out if it has to be welded and you can't do yourself. anyway, i was driving to work...- buddy guy

Suspension geometry & wear and tear- impacted by lifts and....
when i was thinking about taller tires this morning, my mind started to wander down a few more paths on correcting suspension issues. So beyond the impact of levels and lifts and ucas i thought about the following: -wheel offsets-does changing the wheel offset affect angles...and wear and tear... -
2500 rear coils on a 1500
I was looking at various coils to get a bit of a lift .5 to 1 inch on my 1500. I was wondering if a 2500 coil would fit, would it lift a bit and how would it ride? Seems like the cheapest option if i could find on craigslist etc. Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk -
Corrosion Free for Canadians fyi
I read a thread yesterday (couldn't find today) where someone talked about how they ordered it direct with a spray gun from Corrosion Free in Ontario, I think it was. May be the cheapest way to buy it but given I'd apply it no more than once per 1-1.5 years I did some more searching and found it... -
NEW WHEELS COMING THIS WEEK!
I hate the chrome clads (even though i think they are a better looking wheel than many stock out there) but everyone has them, they are too shiny. contemplated all black but wasn't crazy about them with my delmonico red, then i looked at black with silver accents (chrome?) but also saw a grey... -

Finally, a car wash I am happy with!
Because of my protective film, I can't use automatic car washes and honestly, I think you can do a better job getting at the whole truck with a hand wash, but I hate the mess and waste of water doing it in the driveway and its so hard to find a good wand wash thats roomy enough to get around... -
the "joy" of new lug nuts fyi
So after Wild one found some Gorillas with lifetime warranty on Amazon for his 2014 Ram 1500, I ordered some for myself. Amazon said they did not fit on my 2018, but did fit on his. We compared notes and I figured that was an Amazon error as it can happen. both the originals and the Gorillas... -

Bilstein 5100s-2.8 vs 2.1-a bit of a new perspective for me
i've read many user debates and discussions here about the need for UCAs or not if leveling to 2.8 using the 5100s, but have a slightly different bit of info here. i read with interest on a post the other day, that, if i read it correctly, 4 wheel parts won't install 5100's without you... -
Canadians..where are you getting your rear coil spacers from?
And for anyone who's reading posts on my budget leveling plans, just...shuddup. lol ps-I will install my Bilsteins first but I'm likely looking at .75 to 1 inch max spacers (btw. I read info that appeared to come from Daystar on a resellers website that said a 1.5 inch spacer doesn't actually... -
