    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Left cracked at around 45k and now the right at 67k. I want it fixed but doubt I'll spend the money to fix since out of warranty. Pitiful they cant get it right.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    My left manifold cracked in the 30k mile range and had it swapped out. Either a design flaw or the people that are casting these things are producing a lower quality product. Hopefully it won't happen again. At 52k miles now.

    Hemi Exhaust Manifold bolts

    I love my ram trucks and would still purchase again hands down but it is crazy that they cannot get a true fix to the manifold issue whether it's the bolts, gasket, or manifold itself. The 5.7 hemi design is old as the hills and should be fined tuned by the engineers by this point. If it...

    Hemi Exhaust Manifold bolts

    He showed them to me but heck if I can see if they could do anything to help. I have worked alot on farm trucks and tractors and never seen anything like this. Evidently the manifold is different on these 5th gens as all of our past hemi engines never had cracks etc just gaskets and broke bolts.

    Hemi Exhaust Manifold bolts

    Ended up being a cracked manifold!! There are some strips or bracing that the tech said they added on the 19's+ that the bolts go through that are meant to help alleviate the bolts breaking. Not sure how it would make a difference but that's what he said. Hopefully the new manifold will last...

    Hemi Exhaust Manifold bolts

    Going to be taking mine in this week for what I believe is leaking exhaust manifold. Irritating that this new of a truck is doing it. Every hemi I have had has done this.

    Damn Trailer Bounce....?

    I towed a 10k skid loader on a receiver hd equipment trailer and it was harsh on the 5th gen to say the least. Hemi and trans was okay but just not enough truck. I know weight distribution hitches make a big difference but I question that if it takes something like that then the trucks...

    Damn Trailer Bounce....?

    I've had a 4th gen and 5th gen ram 1500 and both have bounced what I consider noticeable towing. I think it's just the nature of the trucks rear coils regardless of air as my 4th gen had. I'm use to towing with 1 tons on the ranch so I'm use to a rock solid setup on the ram ton trucks. Having...

    Moto fab orp truck

    Thanks. Hopefully dealer will figure out Monday. I'm afraid its associated with the brake pedal issue. I didn't have it aligned as tires are about worn out at 32k. Truck drives as before lift and doesn't seem to be far out of alignment. Having a 6 foot bed just worries me since the mopar lift...

    Mopar 2 inch lift cause warning light?

    Is it just the mopar kit causing problems with the 6ft 4in bed trucks?

    Moto fab orp truck

    Just installed a 2 in motofab spacer in front and rear of 2019 orp 6,4 bed. My truck has now started showing service electronic stability control and service trailer brake controller. Is this related to the leveling kit? These lights came on 2 weeks ago (before install) and cut off after...

    Rear spacers install

    I am getting ready to install 1.5in rear coil spring spacers on my 2019 1500 org. Does lifting the truck by its frame yield enough travel of the axle so that the rear coils can be removed or are spring compressors necessary. I haven't found any good install instructions. Thanks
