    Brown Sludge on Coolant Dipstick?

    You would be losing coolant if one or both were bad.

    Cylinder Misfire and Potential Blown Head Gasket, Dealership Repair Question

    Personally, if you have the money for the repair, I would go that route. Unless you are just looking for an excuse to get a new truck it will cost you far more than $5k for a new truck. And having a paid off vehicle is far nicer than having to make payments again. As for diagnosis, seems...

    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    I highly discourage anyone from using cross drilled rotors. Unless you have a high end car that came with them from the factory, or are spending thousands of dollars in high performance rotors. 99% of the cross drilled rotors sold are just regular smooth rotors that have been drilled out. The...

    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    I'd recommend the Reybestos R-300 rotors. They are slotted and nice. I have them in my 99 Dakota and have been impressed. along with the Reybestos element 3 pads Akebono pads are good as well. I think they are made in Japan and are used by some OEMs.

    Vararam Air intake

    Lol, yeah, was kit having fun in the snow. Aftermarket front bumper really opens up the engine bay. But, there was very little in the Vararam, which some people had concern about .

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The stagger is because the track width is staggered from the factory with the front being 1/2 wider overall, so 1/4" on each side.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Has to be different based on the wheel/tire package. On my Built to Serve, 3/4" front and 1" rear set the sidewalls of the factory 275 width tires flush with edge of fender flares. Now that I'm on 35x12.50s they poke out about 1/2". Which puts the edge of the tread blocks about even with...

    Vararam Air intake

    You aren't force feeding air into the intake. Even with the shutters open. The engine is only going to suck in as much air as it needs. And that comes from in front of the radiator. The grill shutters are not a restriction. I left the radiator shroud on mine, kept the RAM lettering, and...

    Vararam Air intake

    I've had mine for over five years. Verified improvement in 0-60 time over factory. Plus, IMO, it's just the best looking intake available, especially if you do car shows. Only issue I've had was the install thin "gasket" the filter sits on, in the base, shrunk a little and had a gap which let...

    Ram 1500 coolant smell

    Can't remember if I updated this thread or another. Over 75k miles on my truck. Overflow tank topped off once because dipstick was dry. That was at like 30k miles . Coolant still full, dipstick clean no build up on it. And I still get the coolant smell on a hot engine every now and then...

    How to tell if my mirror works with auto dim high beams

    Sounds like you got it figured out. I'm not a fan of auto high beams. Turned them off in every car I've driven at night that had them.

    Hoping I am not screwed...

    Eye brows are fine. Not as much water used and easier to contain it and keep it from getting in drivers side kick panel area.
