    Will Fram XG2 fit in my 2013 - See Pics

    Ahh, right those are the Endurance filters right? They are the same as the RP and Amsoil filters? Didn't know that, cool. Badger, what makes it such a pain to change, just the clearance and spilling oil everywhere?

    Will Fram XG2 fit in my 2013 - See Pics

    Ok...Ok...Ok, I know, it's been beaten to death, but I figured I'd just throw these pics up to see what everyone thinks. I have the electric power steering in my 2013, but I think the rack was changed on later models as there is still a bunch of room on top of my rack, so depth of filter isn't...

    Synthetic Motor Oil Poll 2017

    Thanks Burla, didn't read everything....read just about everything and a good portion of it was posts of yours, on multiple sites. I did read about that Penzoil UOA program, that would've been cool. Well I basically came to the same conclusion that PP would work just fine for a 1yr/low mileage...

    Synthetic Motor Oil Poll 2017

    Ok, I've been reading just about everything I can about synthetic oil and filters pertaining to the Hemi on this forum, other forums and bob's.....I've basically narrowed it down to using either PP or PUP 5w-20 and a Fram Titanium filter which I was able to get a hold of a few that still have...

    RC N3 2" Leveling struts installation

    I didn't. Only sway bar end links, tie rods and upper ball joints.

    RC N3 2" Leveling struts installation

    Got the RC leveling struts in.....finally, winter didn't cooperate. In any case, someone told me I should drive it for maybe 100 miles or so to let them settle in before getting an alignment. Any truth or logic to that? 100 miles isn't gonna kill my tires, just wondering if it's worth the...

    Preferred/Best drivetrain fluids

    Yeah I will probably just throw 75w-90 in it, no idea why they spec 140 for a 1500. Any quick way to tell if I have a LSD?

    Preferred/Best drivetrain fluids

    My manual shows the spec for my rear diff spec for 1500 models is 75w-140 and front 4WD specs 75w-90. I was gonna put the 90 in both, do I really need the 140 if I never tow and only lightly haul stuff periodically? Manual also says only the 44-44 xfer case needs Mopar xfer case fluid. All...

    Less Heat Drivers side then Passenger side on my 2013 Ram 5.7

    I just went through this, same year truck, 2013 Hemi. Dealer tried everything before finally just replacing the heater core, which fixed it. It's pretty common and changing the heater core is the fix. Not an easy job, luckily I wasn't paying for it.

    Preferred/Best drivetrain fluids

    Thanks for the responses. I guess I should've clarified some things earlier. Yes I have the 6spd trans, so need ATF+4 for an RFE. Not entirely sure which xfer case I have. My truck is an Express, doesn't have Auto 4WD....only 2WD, 4Hi and 4Lo. I just assumed it used the same ATF+4 as the...

    Preferred/Best drivetrain fluids

    I have a new to me 2013 1500, has about 77K on it and I want to do all of the drivetrain fluids, even though they say they are good to 100K. Wanted to see what people have found works best in the diffs, xfer case and trans.. I know the Trans will need ATF+4....is there any particular brand of...

    2013 with HOAT coolant in it?

    Build date is 5/13, so kind of far into the 2013 build cycle, which is why I am even more confused and don't trust what anyone says just based on color.

    cost of service

    I asked the dealership what it would cost to do both diffs, xfer case and tranny fluid and filters.....they told me $1200.

    2013 with HOAT coolant in it?

    Thanks Burla, I read that other thread as well, lost of good info in there. I'm still totally confused on what the hell is in my truck, other than it is without a doubt orange, not pink at all and definitely not purple. It's 100% orange no matter what temp it's at. Dealer parts guys and tech...

    Ram 2012 door lock issues

    My 2013 sometimes just locks on it's own. I'll unlock to grab something out of it, close the door and all 4 doors and the tailgate lock....no idea why. Sometimes it's right when you close the door, sometimes it's a few minutes later. Used to leave the key in the ignition if I was just running...

    2013 with HOAT coolant in it?

    Let me start out by saying I know this has been discussed a million times, I have read hours of stuff on it and still cannot figure what I have or what to do. So everything I read says that starting in 2013 OAT is what was used. My coolant is clearly not purple, it is orange, not...

    I stupidly put windshield washer fluid where the coolant goes

    The OP has probably already taken care of this by now….but last week I dumped G05 in my coolant reservoir, about a pint in is when my brain decided to remember the OAT and HOAT thing. Still can’t figure out what the hell is in my 2013, OAT or HOAT, in any case I bought an $8 transfer pump from...

    RC N3 2" Leveling struts installation

    Came back to ask the exact question above. Life happened, A LOT, in the last 2 months and never got to this, gonna do it this weekend. Same question on breaking the upper ball joint loose though. Have seen and heard a lot mentioned about not hitting the aluminum spindle with a hammer to knock...

    Brake Pads

    Thanks for the info. I don't think I need any of the higher end drilled and slotted stuff though, the truck never tows anything and just basically goes around town, some longer trips to ski mountains in winter. Have never really heard of the Power Stop products until recently, so I wasn't sure...

    Brake Pads

    Looking at the Power Stop Evolution Geomet Coated Kit (rotors and pads) on Rock Auto for my 2013 1500 Crew. Want something coated to deal with winter and the truck also sits a lot, gets driven like 3K miles a year. Have read a lot about Power Stop here, all different kinds, wondering if anyone...

    RC N3 2" Leveling struts installation

    When you say disconnect UCA, you are referring to the upper ball joint, correct?

    RC N3 2" Leveling struts installation

    Wouldn't the knuckle flex enough with the axle still fully connected? Will adding 2" cause me to need that much more flex to get the new strut in? Not asking that argumentatively, just asking as someone who hasn't ever put a 2" bigger strut in.
