    E locker vs fluid friction modifier

    I did not add the friction modifier to mine when I changed at 50k. No issues. That's mainly for the limited slip differentials.

    Headers

    Even with unequal length headers and the OEM manifolds there are still separate tubes. This is literally just square tubing with holes cut out and brackets welded on. Run.

    Stake hole tie downs search

    Cut a hole in the middle first then slowly go to the edges to find the metal.

    Cooper Rugged Trek question

    You have an AT/Mud Tire driving on wet roads or snow. They're going to be bad. If you want to stick with the tires, throw 300-400 pounds in the bed any time it precipitates, or get a set of dedicated snow tires for the winter. I have Cooper AT3's on my truck now, and they've been great for over...

    Vararam Air intake

    Don't know if it's the different grilles, but on my Rebel the shutters absolutely blocked airflow to the scoop, especially since I left my shroud on to also keep the RAM lettering. Behind my grille there's a plastic insert everywhere except the central portion, so most of the airflow comes...

    Vararam Air intake

    I've had a mine a few years. Had to cut my engine bay shroud a bit to get it to fit, and I removed the top 3 slats from the Active Grill Shutter so air could constantly flow into it. It looks good, but the water catch underneath has torn off since it was just rubber held on with a couple plastic...

    Pole Barns and lifts

    Extremely jealous... If it's going to hail I have to move crap out of my garage just to cram the truck in there. Otherwise it's in the driveway 24/7 whether I'm working on it or not.

    Pole Barns and lifts

    Don't have a pole barn like you're looking for, but I do have a QuickJack lift system big enough for the truck. It's nice for large work/repairs/maintenance, but the jacks are so heavy they're not great for everyday stuff. You don't want to drive over them, so you have to get them out of the way...

    Stake hole tie downs search

    I bought Bullring tie downs for both front and rear. They have a kit that accounts for the difference in the plastic, although you'll have to cut a bit. Looks like they've been acquired by speedstrap, so that link above go to mine. Make sure you get the proper year.

    Spare Tire Advice..what are most doing when running bigger tires?

    Agreed. Think I got a Nexan or something like that from Discount Tire when I bought my Discoverers.

    Spare Tire Advice..what are most doing when running bigger tires?

    When I moved to 295/70R18's I bought the cheapest AT tire in the same size, had them mount it to spare wheel, then crammed it up under the bed. It'll fit if you jam it in and maybe kick it a bit. I didn't remove the heat shields, but if I go to 35x12.5 I'll probably have to and maybe grind the...

    Low tire alert, check engine light

    Without the code that goes with the CEL you're not going to get any answers.

    4 inch bds air ride lift garage

    It's one of those where I KNOW it'll fit in the garage, but I'm always nervous when I move it in there.

    4 inch bds air ride lift garage

    I barely fit in my 7 foot garage with a 3" lift and 35's. The shark fin is REALLY close. I won't go in any public garage under 7'3" just to make sure I'm safe.

    Are you happy with your Ram??

    The VK56 is freaking bullet proof. I loved that engine even though I only got 13mpg. With headers, exhaust, tune it pulled that 6000 pound truck harder at 160k miles than the Hemi does in the Ram. I doubt Nissan will ever get back into the full size truck market. They may try to make the...
