    Hesitation or slight jerking at light throttle

    Last week my check engine light came on and the truck was driving a little funny. At light throttle around town it was sort of hesitating, weird to describe but almost felt like it would if it were sputtering. You can hear and feel it running funny. Engine light came on, went to advance auto...

    Heater hoses don't want to budge

    Attempting to do a heater core flush on my truck and the hoses do not want to budge off the fire wall. Trying to figure out the best course of action to get this done without accidentally damaging something. If I try to use a hook or something to reach back and pry them a little, I'm worried I...

    Basically no heat?

    2016 2500 6.4 I got the truck at around 35k miles, has 60k now, and the first winter I noticed it had shit heat. If it's really cold, the passenger side will give a little warm air and the drivers side blows cold air. Would this be as simple as flushing the heater core?

    Inside tire spins when taking off and turning

    So I've been noticing when I take off from a stop and turn left for example, on dirt the inside wheel will spin and on pavement you can feel it spinning/breaking traction a bit. Anything to be concerned with or just normal? 2016 2500 6.4 auto, 6.5" lift, 37x13.50r20, 4.88 gears

    Noise after regear

    2016 Ram 2500 6.4 In June I had a local shop install 4.88 gears from nitro. During the break in period I noticed the gears making noise. It's tough to explain but it's only there when I'm coasting at speeds around town, I can't notice it at highway speeds. It's a noise you can feel similar to a...

    Stumbling/hesitation low speed light throttle?

    2016 2500 6.4l auto I noticed this past week that under real light throttle my truck felt like it was sort of stumbling/sputtering almost. I figured it was from getting gas at a random gas station, still 89 octane which is what hemi fever tuned it for. So I got down to the last couple gallons...

    Oil change interval with redline?

    Curious what you guys are doing for oil change intervals in the 6.4 I switched to redline 5w30 per som recommendations here and the truck runs great. I was just curious if I still need to do every 5k or if it's safe to go longer

    What gear oil to use with regear?

    2016 Ram 2500 6.4 Swapping out the gears for nitro 4.88s. The shop is using nitro gear oil initially. I know at 500 miles to change the gear oil. Should I use nitro gear oil which is 80w140 at that point as well? Or go with a different weight oil from someone like ams?

    Synergy Steering brace gets a thumbs up from me!

    I put a Synergy steering brace in my Ram yesterday and it definitely helped to tighten up the steering on the highway and reduced the wander quite a bit. My lift came wirh sway bar drop brackets and used the factory links, but the brace wouldn't work with that set up. So yesterday I swapped out...

    Disappointed with professional ceramic coating

    Last fall I had my truck buffed, full paint correction and professionally ceramic coated. Definitely has not even come close to what I expected. Initially it had great shine, but it never seemed any different than just a freshly waxed truck. Fast forward 18,000 miles and I finally decided I...

    2016 Ram 2500 6.4 big horn Recently put in an RBP 6.5" Lift with transfer case indexing ring.

    2016 ram 2500 6.4 big horn 6.5" rbp lift What do you guys do about the 5th shock when lifting these trucks? I believe it's called the anti power hop shock by Mopar, or anti axle wrap shock. It still fits.. But it's definitely extended more. Is there a longer shock? I've heard its a super...

    Is 5w-30 redline the way to go?

    It seems redline is the obvious choice but I've seen posts both recommending 0w-20 and 5w-30. Which is the way to go? I'm in NH, so the truck is seeing plenty of single digit and negative Temps. Need to change the oil, and I'll be changing it again before summer

    Cab doesn't get very warm in below 0* temps

    So I've noticed my truck really doesn't get very warm inside when the temperature gets real low like single digits or sub zero. Totally fine when it's around 30* I checked and it is not low on coolant it is right above the minimum line. Is this common? The main reason I noticed was because my...
