    Anyone running without engine cover

    Is the 5.7 engine cover important for performance? Or can you run without? Just curious if running without will keep engine temps down.

    8 speed transmission change kit

    I felt nervous as heck before doing this procedure too. It's not as bad as it sounds. Also, before going thru the gears to move fluid turn off ESC.

    8hp70 heater bypass

    Removing the front driveshaft took the most amount of time for me. PB Blaster for an hour soak then hit it with 18V DeWalt impact gun. Factory used a ton of blue threadlocker on each bolt making them tough to remove. I'm sure an air impact will not have any problems. Good luck.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Installed @caulk04 ZF thermal bypass. Pic taken after installation so no pic of the new valve. Sorry.

    Fluid Change after many miles?

    Change it. Your truck will thank you. I picked up a used 2016 Laramie with 142k. No records of transmission fluid change on carfax so it was first on the diy list. I read similar info as you about the dangers of changing fluid at high mileage but felt the benefits of new fluid out weigh the...

    two possibilities...(1) envy, (2) jealous. or a combination of both.

    Check your intake manifold bolts

    What about the valve covers? Do they typically loosen as well? They look to be composite as well. I haven't checked mine yet.

    Check your intake manifold bolts

    Thanks @Wildone I just bought a 2016 with 140K miles. Intake bolts were very loose. Tightened to spec with torque wrench. At least one to one and a half turns on each bolt.

    Parasitic drain

    I am experiencing a similar issue with battery drain on a 2016 Laramie. After the truck sits for 3-4 days when I start it up, the battery light is on and remains on for 45-60 minutes of driving until the alternator charges battery, then the light turns off. Alternator is working as the voltage...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Traded for a 2016 ecodiesel Laramie with only 53K miles. Same color, same 44-44 TC (oh well) and same options. 3.55 rear diff and hopefully 10-15 more mpg. I spend a lot of time on the freeway running 75-80 mph. One observed advantage is the transmission pan is not obstructed with exhaust...

    Shocking info ZF Fluids...

    I used blue cap fuel efficient Amsoil fluid when changing pan/filter at 75K miles. My truck seems to shift better. 6,000 miles and smooth as can be.

    Ram Classic Flowmaster American thunder direct fit muffler

    I have the American thunder on my truck. Sounds great. Very little drone, if any, even when towing. Sounds like a grown up truck but not too loud in the cab. Have had several comments when cranking it up.

    Tire Recommendation

    I am on my second set of the Michelin Defender's on a Laramie 4X4. Don't know that I have ever heard the tires, even at 85 mph. Excellent wear (75K+ miles on first set) and great wet weather traction. If a highway tire is what you need most of the time, you can't go wrong with this tire IMO.

    2001 Ram 4x4 Sport Restoration

    Can't wait to see the final pic's. You have motivated me to drive mine until it dies, then do the same thing you have done. Hopefully it will be as old as yours when this happens. Great work!

    Switching to 87 octane?

    We have up to 93 octane in TX....don't have any air quality issues to my knowledge so not sure what you mean by your statement. Wife's car requires minimum 93 octane. I run ethanol free 90 octane in my Ram and get better gas mileage and performance.

    Just hit 375k miles...

    Excellent! Looks like you have taken great care of your truck. I hope my 2016 makes it that far as well. May I ask what type of oil you used and OCI's for the past 12+ years?

    TPMS issue - Tech advice please

    I have 86000 miles on original sensors...seems like the only time they don't work and send a service signal is when I get on the toll road. Must not like the toll road transmitters.

    Biometric handgun safe

    Magnet for sure. You can orient gun with barrel facing down underneath passenger seat or underneath drivers seat, whichever you prefer.

    Biometric handgun safe

    I purchased and installed this Locker Down safe. Upgraded to the touchpad for an extra $50. Excellent safe, fits like a glove into console w/o the need to modify anything.

    OEM Brake Pad Life Expectancy

    Hi everyone. Back in the spring when covid had us locked down, I performed all the maintenance possible on my truck. I purchased a set of powerstop rotors and pads and after inspecting my original pads and rotors, they were in great shape with 3-4 mm of pad remaining all the way around at...
