    If You’ve Tried Everything Diagnosing Your Suspension’s Squeak and Still Can’t Figure It Out, Try This

    I have been running down everything on my suspension for well over a year. I was hearing what sounded like a little chirp, convinced it was a metal-on-metal squeak, whenever I would go over bumps in the road. It was driving me nuts. I had checked sway bars, shocks, shock bushings, spring...

    Whining/Growl Noise - Differential/Wheel-Bearing/Transmission (output shaft)

    For the last few thousand miles, I have noticed a whining/growling noise. It happens under acceleration/coasting/deceleration from 20-140 MPH (haven't driven faster). The noise does not change with load nor engine speed, it only changes with wheel speed. The vehicle is a 2013 Ram 1500 4x2 with...

    Removing 8HP70 TBV for 8 Speed Swap

    So I am in the middle of replacing my 65RFE with the 8HP70 and need some help with the TBV. One of the threads I read about an 8 speed swap showed that they removed the entire thermostatic housing and tapped the two connections on the side of the transmission for the cooler lines. I don't...

    392 Pan Gasket & Oil Pan Replacement Questions - 4x2

    I apologize in advance for the novel... I have 2013 Ram 1500 4x2 with a 392 swap. After the initial engine swap, there was a small oil leak coming from either the rear main or the oil pan. I had the shop replace both the pan gasket and rear main seal since I had to pull transmission anyhow...

    2013 1500 - swap 65RFE for 66RFE?

    I have a 2013 Ram 1500 2WD Sport that I bought new in 2013 and has around 166K mi on the transmission now. I wish I would've waited 6 months for an 8-speed but I needed a new vehicle and no dealers had any 8-speeds in stock early 2013 MY. Background: Truck has been daily for the past 8 years...
