    Shorty headers for 21 ram 1500 5.7

    See attached link for some more info on cracked manifolds and some discussion on what it takes to swap the manifolds to headers. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/exhaust-manifold-leak.19634/post-451632

    Shorty headers for 21 ram 1500 5.7

    I have been happy with the AFE shorties that I had ceramic coated. No issues to date. And probably about 15,000mi on them. I can’t speak to any serious power gains as I use a pedal commander to modulate throttle sensitivity. I wouldn’t recommend them unless you have manifold issues or are going...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    The sure fix is high quality aftermarket stainless shorties. I have no more leaks. I do not enjoy spending time at the dealer or being without my truck. It’s worth the cost to upgrade on your own dollar rather than reuse oem parts that will likely crack again. I keep my trucks for 8-10 years so...

    Softopper Exoskeleton(Adarac)

    When I was planning my options with the contoured uprights, I thought it would be nice to have an underhung canopy on one side with a Yakima road shower underhung on the other side for symmetry(and functionality of course). Instead of a road shower, I went with a Joolca Nomad which just came in...

    Softopper Exoskeleton(Adarac)

    I am not sure what awning your are going to run, but it looks like you could mount from the bottom of the cross bars with the overhang that you have. My ARB 2500x2500 awning which was from my old truck with an 8' bed extends over the cab/back door just a bit, so I had to mount it on top rather...

    Rear end clunk

    If you take it to a dealer and try to get it covered under warranty I believe that they will have to get authorization from FCA to pay for the repair which will likely be an uphill battle. If you are going to pay out of pocket, then the tech should understand what is going on here. Very simple...

    Rear end clunk

    My dealer tried to tell me this was normal as well. Normal doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. I would try re-lubricating your driveshaft. 1-2 hrs and a cheap tube of Ford XG-8 Teflon grease is worth a shot. I ordered mine from the local Ford dealer and it was $12 or so. IIRC it was torque the rear...

    Rear end clunk

    I finally found time to get into this issue again and after reading posts about fords and gm having the same issue I pulled the trigger and ordered the Ford PFTE Teflon spline lube. Our shop manager used to work at a Ford dealer and said that after using that grease he never had customers return...

    Anyone have a Tradesman with the Black Appearance Package?

    That green looks fantastic with the black package.

    12in Uconnect Navigation Issues - Automatic Directions Without Driver Input/Request

    I had my GPS/Radio unit replaced under warranty a month or so ago after the truck thought it was 250miles away from where it actually was. Just this last week it has developed a new error: every time I start the truck, the factory NAV comes up with turn-by-turn directions to my office. I...

    air suspension load weight limits

    No, and neither do you, unless you’re that guy who guesses weights of people at the carnival. I see that I accidentally hit 9 instead of 8 last night. The trailer was rated at around 8000# loaded wet which we were not. On top of that there’s payload/occupant weights to consider that you don’t...

    air suspension load weight limits

    I had this error message a few weeks ago when we loaded up my truck (air suspension off road group) with a bed nearly full of fire wood, RTT and family of 3 with a dog as well as towing a loaded but dry 32’ travel trailer(~8000#) for a week long stationary trip. I was also stuck in aero mode but...

    How to disable Sirius Location Tracking

    I called Sirius customer service a while back and asked them to disable the vehicle from their system. They did not understand my request and of course tried to offer me deals to resubscribe. They said they disabled the unit but I continued to see the tracking message and the sat radio still...

    Nauset Beach Day

    Well, we are 3 for 3 with error messages when driving on the beach. No sand or deposits on the sensors. Low speed, 25mph or slower. I couldnt take a picture because the warning on the cluster is brief and my boy was driving while sitting on my lap. Both blind spot assist warning lights stay...

    Has any used a Soft Topper

    Color pallets preferences and aesthetics are subjective but I think tan might look really good as a complimentary accent color considering the blue and green tones in the Anvil paint color. Toyota has “Lunar Rock” which is fairly similar to Anvil but I couldn’t find any gray or tan softopper...

    Has any used a Soft Topper

    White and tan looks good in my opinion. I referenced Toyota Tacoma images on google to compare color combinations. Taco community loves the softoppers.
