    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Armed with information is a good thing. FAQ Will I void my warranty if I install your muffler? Copy and paste from the MagnaFlow website: What to do if denied a warranty? You MUST get the denial in writing and demand that they are very specific in why they’re denying the claim and in...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I think my play will be, when mine cracks, will be OK fine I will pay for the repair. $2500, no problem. Once the repair is completed I will seek a lawyer and seek damages in court. If you are found to be in the wrong for charging me for a warranted claim, you will also have to pay my legal...

    Oil spewed out of oil filter

    15 seconds of no oil won't hurt the engine. 15 minutes will. You did right shutting it down and looking into it. Your engine was oil soaked before you shut it off to do your oil change. I assume the dirty oil was synthetic as well. Absolutely no worries, your engine is fine.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I changed my muffler with the B2 "quiet" muffler. I changed the tail pipe tips also. If I crack a manifold, I expect a problem with my wonderful dealer because of it. They will dance around and say I broke the manifold because I changed the muffler. Well that's my luck most of the time...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Co-worker has 1500 Lamerie, possibly a 2020. I hear him drive by me at work as he is leaving for the day. He has a cracked manifold no question. Sad really. Truck sounds so junky with the leaky manifold. I'm getting paranoid. Whenever I fire my truck up, I listen for an exhaust leak now...

    Computer blooper last night. Is this limp mode?

    Tonight leaving the shop, whipping around the parking lot I purposely pressed the lower gear selector on the steering wheel 1 click.....Yes your on to it. Not sure if this is what happened but the odds of it happening is rather high. It's easy to thump the wheel cranking it back and forth...

    Computer blooper last night. Is this limp mode?

    I don't think so. I didn't see any other light on, on the steering wheel or dash. So I pondered a slow ride home or a nice stroll at 2:30 in the morning, if this truck won't restart. I think I just turned everything on too fast before the gauge cluster settled down. (You know how it clocks...

    Computer blooper last night. Is this limp mode?

    Last night I hit the remote starter and the truck started up as I'm walking over to it. I open the door and fasten my seat belt. This truck has no key so you step on the brake pedal and press the on button on the dash. As I do that I shift into drive as one swooping motion. I leave the shop...

    Engine Revving While Towing on Hills

    Also on the down hills (get a running start) pick up the speed a little more, it's easier to crest the next hill. Sure the motor has the ponies but the ponies will not be needed as much.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'm off today and figured I'd go for a ride in the country to a cheeseburger place I haven't been in a few years. I reset the trip mileage and off I went. Mostly 35-40 mph roads a few small hills mostly flat. I got 22 mpg average on the speedo gauge, on a 5.7! Wow that was awesome. Truck liked...

    My Rebel Bit Me!!!!

    I made it because some guy was saying I'm full of it. You know the internet and the other guy is always right. Bull, I had to show this guy he was full of it so I made the video then posted it on that website, I won that debate! I made that 9 years ago...... Grabbed my sand bag, placed it on...

    2019 knocking/tapping issue

    Spray soapy water around the exhaust manifold when cold. You will see steam blowing if you have an exhaust leak. That sound to me is the fuel injection which by my ear sounds normal. Of course I have a tin ear on a crappy phone ...

    My Rebel Bit Me!!!!

    I know it, only once....Years ago I got into a debate online about how to load it. Other guy said you can't load it inside the rifle. So I make a quick video with my phone hanging off of a shelf behind me. Almost 7 million hits.... You never know what will be popular

    My Rebel Bit Me!!!!

    Maybe try to unscrew the door lock stems and swap them for the back or replace them with something longer? Sometimes they do things for a reason. Maybe they are like that are for collision/safety reasons.

    how often is everyone changing oil

    Lube the hinges once in a while and regular oil changes are the #1 thing to do to your truck. Your engine loves clean fresh oil. Also I recommend you look into a tire dolly, they really help me not strain rotating tires. If you ever hurt your back, your finished for life.
