    Was looking to see if a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7 throttle body will bolt up to a 2005 dodge Ram 1500 5.7? I have my old 2011 throttle body sitting in the garage and the 2005 ram through the red lightening bolt. I ripped apart the intake and cleaned the throttle body which helped the bolt stay off...

    6” lift spacer on a levelling strut?

    Good day folks, I wants to run Thai by any of the Forum lift gurus out here before I do something dumb. I have looked around and I have seen that you should never stack lift/levelling spacers on each other. One option that I heard of was using a longer strut/coil over with a spacer on top to...

    Throttle body

    Can a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7 throttle body fit on a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7? I saw a few different throttle bodies online that say they could fit 03-12, then some 2005-2012, and finally 2009-2012. Kind of confusing.

    Am I done building my truck now?

    I come to realize (most of us does) that once you add a part to your truck, it never really ends. I mean it doesn’t matter if it a costly Preformance part, or a simple inexpensive add on. I think after my upper control arms and front shocks arrive, that’ll be it for me as I have more money into...
