    Correct oil filter or not?

    That makes me feel a lot better, although I would think the larger filter would do a better job. Thanks everyone.

    Correct oil filter or not?

    I have 2013 Ram 1500 Sport 5.7L Hemi. I also have a 2016 Hemi Charger. I thought all 5.7L were the same. I have been using the 20-820 on both vehicles for the last three years. Royal Purple says the 20-820 is for my car and the 10-48 is for my truck. Should I be concerned that I have been...

    Share your catalytic converter anti-theft installations

    I am taking my grandson on an ATV tour through out 4 states. Being so far from home and not familiar with the area, I was thinking of having my catalytic removed, straight piped, and then reinstalled when we get back home. Does anyone see a problem with this? I have a 2013 Ram sport 4X4.

    Front sway bar links and bushing replacement.

    Thanks. That makes sense. Always seems to be a simple solution. I knew I would get the answer here. You guys are great.

    Front sway bar links and bushing replacement.

    I am in the process of changing the front sway bar bushings and links on my 2013 Ram 1500 Hemi. I bought a kit that includes 2 bushings and 2 links. My question is with the bushings. The bushings seem to be so stiff that it's impossible to open them enough to get them around the bar. I have only...

    Cost to Replace Exhaust Manifold Studs, Gaskets and Mill Manifold

    Just curious about your opinions. Assuming the stud is broken off flush, has anyone ever attempted the use a reverse drill to back out the stud without completely removing the manifold? I have seen some videos where the broken stud is loose enough that it seems like this could work if all the...

    DC, are you using the Archoil AR9100 oil additive?

    Another lifter/cam Question. Any PM options?

    Since this discussion is about oil filters, I have a question. I have been using Royal Purple 5-20 since I purchased my Ram 1500 Sport. I only have 42,000 miles on it and I plan on keeping it for the long haul. I have been using Fram oil filters but will be switching to RP filters from now on. I...

    Spark plug change..which plugs

    So would I have any issues with platnum plugs in my 2013 Ram 1500 5.7L? I currently have 42,000 miles on it.

    Spark plug change..which plugs

    Is this the reason my 2016 Charger R/T doesn’t require a spark plug change until 100,000 miles or 8 years and my 2013 Ram requires a plug change every 30,000? They used the platnum plugs in my charger and regular copper plugs on my Ram?

    Does anyone know what these are for?

    See about getting a car fax report. That might shed some light on the subject.

    What did you say when you saw your truck for the first time?

    I was week in the knees but didn’t want the salesman to know it.

On average what % of Hemi’s have hade the cam failure? If it was really wide spread wouldn’t there have been some kind of recall or better yet a...

    Hemi Time Bomb

    I find the discussion about overfill interesting. The reason is I recently purchased a 2013 Ram Hemi Sport. It was a single owner vehicle and was always serviced by the dealer. When I brought it home I checked all the fluids right away. I noticed the oil level was about a quart over. Maybe now I...

    Jack holder wingnut.

    Just wondering if this has happned to anyone else. The other day I was removing the jack for the first time. The wingnut was so tight I could not remove it by hand. I got out the channel locks and you guessed it, snapped it right off. I was looking for any repair ideas.

    Drop-in Vs Spray-in

    After reading all the posts and given how I use my truck I decided on the Dualliner. It was delivered last week and finally got around to installing it today. Took me all of about a half hour. The front and sides snapped in place then rolled in the thick rubber floor mat and that was it. It took...

    Bed Rails

    I just installed a set of polished stainless Weston (50-2030). It was an easy install and they look great. Installed them right over the plastic rails. They are a low profile oval style.

    Did they fix the lifters on newer 4th Gens?

    I have a 2013 Ram 1500 with 34,000 miles. I have a 2016 Dodge Charger with 70,000 miles on it. Both with 5.7L Hemi. Are these engines the same? I had a 2006 Charger with 190,000 on the Hemi and never had any issues with the exception normal maintenance ware issues.

    Are there any statistics on how many of these engines have this failure? Is it one in a thousand or one in in thousand???
