I jacked up the front end and the wheels turn without noise or issue. With the wheels on the ground the pump makes an awful racket, and no turn unless the truck is moving.

2003 1500 QuadCab 5.7 4x4

the noise sounds like over pressure then, might be a blockage or the rack & p.

1.25" spacers installed at around 3am last night... Neighbours weren't too happy at me cutting studs. Just needed a bit more road attitude on the truck.

Looks great, those mirrors sure turned out nice. :waytogo:



Thanks I'm liking the fact the bumper now breaks up all the black in the front but I did leave the little piece on top of it black to blend that a lil better

Do t you abuse your red one towing stuff?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't abuse it, the most I tow with it is the blue truck to some long distance shows, other than that, I haven't towed much a regular half ton couldn't handle, but I do get my use out of big red

What you thinking of adding? I want to add to my collection of one weather it be a ram or something else. But a nice 4dr hemi ram wouldn't be bad

I hope it's a let 80s Ram 50. It'd tuck in the garage nicely, and they look sweet slammed.

im thinking ill buy another ram, since I have 2 quad cabs and one reg cab maybe ill buy another reg cab ram :favorites13:

well big step in the black truck was made this past weekend, I got a replacement motor for her and spent all day yesterday tearing the motor down and replaced all gaskets, plugs, coils, oil and sensors since its out of the truck anyways, also went through and thoroughly cleaned the motor from top to bottom including the throttle body so it looks almost new again, and just for fun, I stuck my company's instagram logo on both valve covers :naughty:

Got my new hood shocks in the mail today, not the brand I ordered, but will try anyway. Will put on in near future - its drizzling & is to rain all day & tomorrow.

So will not be cleaning out shed/garage today either so my new to me winter tires will stay in the back seat (covered with garbage bags)

Also I was looking to buy some kind of tire stand or storage rack, im instead going to put another shelving unit & put 2x4's across & put tires on there.

& amazon gives weird answers to "not brand I ordered"
