    Verified torque values

    Every time I work on something new on my truck, I’m looking for the torque specs, and have a difficult time finding them. I’ve been keeping track on the ones I find, but I’d really like a one-stop place to find torque specs so I don’t have to rely on unverified info. I’m looking for torque...

    Wanting to buy an OBD-2 tool for my 2019 Ram. Innova 5610 or ICON T7?

    I only own Macs and Apple devices. Running Parallels is too restrictive in functionality, so AlfaOBD won’t work well for me. Thanks for the reply though. I appreciate the suggestion. All the best, Glenn

    Wanting to buy an OBD-2 tool for my 2019 Ram. Innova 5610 or ICON T7?

    I've been reading up on them, but I'm starting to find that Google AI is likely skewed to companies paying for the advertising. They say that the Innova 5610 is better for Rams, Jeeps, and Toyotas (I have all three) than the ICON T7. Any experience with either, and can you make a...

    2019 - I need a new grill. What dealer / brand / type would you recommend?

    Grill in that link looks good… but it’s missing the RAM emblem in the middle. Haven’t seen that available separately. All the best, Glenn

    2019 - I need a new grill. What dealer / brand / type would you recommend?

    Something flew threw my grill and knocked a tooth out (the R in RAM was gone). Banged up the Active Shutter System, requiring me to take the whole grill off to repair it. I'm hoping my repair works out. I'll find out when I start driving it again tomorrow. In the meantime, I've epoxied and...

    Swapping radiator this weekend, any advice?

    I know this post is a few years old, but assuming you replaced it a long time ago, I was hoping you could shed some light on how easy / difficult it was. Surprisingly, I have a leak in the exact same spot you did - a few inches below the top hose. I can see it bubbling right there when the...

    Which sway bar links to get.... (2019 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie)?

    I bought the Suspension Maxx ones for the front. Installed them yesterday. All the best, Glenn

    Need help installing the dust cover that goes over the front differential drivers side shaft seal

    35 mm axle nut socket attached to several long 1/2” extensions and smacked with a rubber mallet a few times seated it perfectly. All the best, Glenn

    Need to replace lower ball joints. Would you replace the ball joint or lower control arm?

    It’s not. I replaced that this year when I did the CV shafts. And I rebuilt the one that came off so I have a spare if I ever need it. All the best, Glenn

    Which aftermarket CV shaft would you recommend?

    Ordered the Trakmotive this evening from RockAuto. Thanks for the replies.

    Which aftermarket CV shaft would you recommend?

    Thanks. That's what I was leaning towards. My truck isn't lifted.

    Which aftermarket CV shaft would you recommend?

    My Ram remanufactured CV shaft I replaced earlier this year leaked from the boot closest to the hub and got grease everywhere. Under warranty, they shipped me another remanufactured one. The splines are too loose, so it won’t lock in place, and it wobbles worse than the original one I...

    Need to replace lower ball joints. Would you replace the ball joint or lower control arm?

    LBJ needs to be replaced. Knuckle will just flop to the side with no tension at all if the UBJ and tie rod are disconnected (noticed during CV shaft replacement). Truck also makes a clunking noise from the passenger side. Not sure if it’s the LBJ, bushing wear, sway bar link, or something...

    Need to replace lower ball joints. Would you replace the ball joint or lower control arm?

    Looking at Rock Auto - LBJ's are available by themselves (Suspensia or Delphi), but would require me to press them out. I don't have the tools necessary to do so, but I think if I looked at Autozone, they probably have something I could rent (maybe). I'm also seeing lots of complete Lower...
