    P0303 code

    Alright. About a month ago my 1998 ram 1500 popped up with a p0303 code. I got this code a couple years ago, cleared it and it never came back until a month ago.

    Help with accelerating noise!

    Hello, new to this site so hopefully this goes to the right place. I’ve tried contacting many dealerships and the place where I purchased this 2008 Ram 1500 from is super shady and does not have a good reputation for repairs. So I don’t trust them to diagnose and fix the issue. So anyway, while...

    Long tube Headers and what to do for cats

    I have a broken manifold bolt so obviously the best thing to do here is to upgrade to long tubes when that manifold is off. I plan on doing 1 3/4 JBA long tubes but I sadly live in the few counties in my state that requires emissions. While trying to save some money here, my thought was to put...

    Engine hours

    Curious about the hours on my engine. The info center says 3,660 hours. Is that a lot for a 2011 with the 5.7l? If my math is correct that equals out to about an hour a day for the year. 3,660 hours÷9 years old = 407 hours(round up) 407 hours per year ÷ 12 months to a year=31 (again round up) 31...
