    Help with the ole tick tick tick

    Sorry about the financial trouble, I can empathize. Hopefully it's temporary. Your new cast iron manifolds will fix your exhaust leak, but they might also crack again in the same spot. The problem we have is: cast iron manifolds, steel bolts, aluminum heads all expand and contract at different...

    Squeaky suspension, what is this part?

    Have the bolts/nuts all been retorqued? I believe most suspension kits need to be checked with a torque wrench around 500 miles after installation. Have a look under there for anything that might be hitting that shouldn't be. As an example, the lower spring seats on my aftermarket struts were...

    Help with the ole tick tick tick

    None of the bolts were frozen on mine and I felt they came out easily. However, I have heard of the bolts shearing off, mostly on 4th gen trucks. If they shear off and stick out, just use channel locks to unscrew them. If they shear off flush, weld a nut to the bolt with a mig welder and turn it...

    Squeaky suspension, what is this part?

    Not sure if this is what happened to your vehicle, but sometimes if they torque the bolts down for the UCA, etc., with the vehicle on a lift, such as with the suspension at full droop it can cause squeaking. The fix is it put the vehicle on the ground and loosen and then retorque the bolts...

    Help with the ole tick tick tick

    Sounds like a solid plan! When you do the headers, consider doing the driver's side first, then the passenger will feel like the easiest job ever. I ended up making a couple studs to use in the really tight spots instead of header bolts. Shorty open end wrenches were also very helpful. The...

    Help with the ole tick tick tick

    When the manifolds were cracked they sounded just like the video posted by Do you have an engine shop you trust or a buddy that can lend a trained ear that could give you an opinion on the engine noise? Ah, just saw your cracked manifold post! A set of JBA headers, part #1961S-3 fixed all the...

    Help with the ole tick tick tick

    Yeah these ticks happen. Do your manifolds have the heat shield covers on them? Because the manifolds tend to split vertically right down the middle and one can see the crack, when the heat shields are removed. It happened to my 2019, as sown in the red box in the photo below. Anyways, I hope...

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    I believe I installed it properly, unless the inlet and outlet are mislabeled on the can? Or is the sintered filter not allowing flow through it? That is a fair amount of oil in that can, makes me wonder about mine.

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    So after I cleaned the throttle body to address the random drops into neutral, I installed an oil catch can on mine, assuming it must be blow by that made the throttle body dirty. In the past year when I have checked the can, it has been dry and clean. I don't know why my throttle body was...

    Steering rack question

    When I replaced the rack, yes it was indeed "plug and play". Let me know if you need any more information, like the R&R procedure, would be happy to provide it. Did yours actually seize up? I am curious because when the electronics on mine stopped working and killed the power assist, I was...

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    Try cleaning the throttle body thoroughly. It works for some of us. Mine hasn't dropped into neutral in about a 1.5 years since I cleaned the throttle body.

    Rebel only tire size referral

    This website might help, it is a calculator with visuals for wheel and/or tire changes. It helped me make some decisions with modifications to my Rebel. You'll need the following rim information from stock Rebel rims (FYI I took this information directly from backside of my stock Rebel Rims)...

    Steering rack question

    Does anyone know if the shaft in steering racks have teeth that are variable pitch or even pitch? For those with questions. I replaced my dead rack last year with a rebuilt unit, which at the the time appeared to be the only unit available in the entire country for the off road group with...

    "Shift to P then Desired Gear" Error

    I agree with Ruben-Ram5th 1500 on cleaning the throttle body. I was getting the drop into neutral fairly regularly, then on some advice I got on here, cleaned mine well over a year ago, and it has not dropped into neutral since. It wasn't even very dirty IMO. Although I've heard from others...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Looks like the Method 316 has a 5.75" backspacing which might hit the UCA. Try giving Method a call on Monday and ask if they fit. Also, 18" rims will fit our 5th gen Rams. I put aftermarket 18" rims on, and when I bought them the company was really concerned they might hit the calipers on the...

    Rear window leak

    Thank you for posting the photos of the old rear window. Is what I'm seeing in photo 0885, a crack in the upper frame and the lower frame? So both sides of the frame?

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    I cleaned only the throttle body. But now that I think about it, around the same time I also had the battery disconnected for some other work, not sure if that also affected it? Maybe a "reboot" of the computer?
