Microguard is made by Wix I've heard. It sells for $5 a piece. O'Reilly is not around here so I can't say.

What you put on in 3 months, I put on in 3 years. Every one has different roads to and from work. I happen to be 3 miles from work now. 5.7 barely warms up in the winter. I change my oil twice a year because of all the moisture in it. It doesn't get hot enough to burn it off. Synthetic oil is...

I've heard lifter tapping for a couple seconds on my Ram the other day on start up. Sounded like my 2015 Jeep with the 3.6 V6. Now that was a noisy engine! People claim they are great engines, but noisy. I never had issues with the 3.6. Some people are just too sensitive to engine noises. If the...

Could be an oil related problem. some people don't change it like they should. Could be supplier issues with heat treating of various parts also. 1 push rod slips by over or under hardened.... I think It's really if you have rotten luck and get a bad one. GM has had a lot of issues also. I ran a...

2021 1500 is not on the list. I guess they didn't have a complaint yet? I wonder how many engines are defective?

MDS does make more sound with an after market muffler. You could turn the MDS off as your cruising if it bugs you. Simply press the + - buttons on the steering wheel to kick the tranny out of the highest gear. MDS will stay off until you restart it, then you will need to do it again if you...

Park it out front, ride the bike to work... Nah that's just stupid advise. At work the other day the lawn care company cuts the grass. I go out after work my truck is trashed with grass clippings all over it. I wasn't happy and complained to the office the following day. I'm sure nothing...

Pretty truck

They screwed on a black filter. I got my mirror out and it read Microgard. If I found an orange Fram on the motor, they would have had issues. Fram looks nice but that's it.

My dealer gives me free oil changes for life ( to the original purchaser) a perk to buy from them. They don't use synthetic in the free oil change perk. They put a sticker on the windshield next change is 6 months or 3000 miles what ever comes first. They didn't even put a mopar filter on it...

90% of drivers fall under severe duty. ie short trips, idling, stop and go traffic, pulling a trailer etc. The owners manual specifies a different oil change interval for these types of drivers, me included. I do it every 6 months and I do about 6000 a year or less. Engines are expensive, oil...

Many will just use conventional motor oil. It's best to change your oil every 6 months unless you're sure they are using synthetic.

Beautiful truck

Hydraulic jack with a piece of wood would work. Just flex it a little. Being metal you will bend it slightly then back it out to see if it's better. Done this with an old 52 I restored years ago. After all the welding on the cab, the drivers door wouldn't fit. I put a jack and pressed out the...

I answered my own question. How to remove tailgate.

Dealers all suck. In my view if it's not broken stay away. Can these tailgates be removed like the old trucks? I know Fords and chevys of years ago you just lower them down remove the chains and they pull away, I don't know if the new Ram pulls away like that. I imagine they are removable but I...

Hello everyone. I washed my truck yesterday and noticed a 1/4" gap on my left hand side of my tailgate. The right side is nice with an 1/8" gap. I'm happy with the truck and won't bother anyone with this fit, but check your trucks to see if you also have this gap. My truck is a 2021 1500...

Mine is a 2021. Lasfit bulbs are what I use up top. I have no issues

Cylinder Head Material: Aluminum Cylinder Block Material: Cast-iron I assume the 5.7 exhaust manifolds are cast iron? Aftermarket headers are either cast iron or machined stainless steel correct? I wonder if they added a thick steel spacer plate it would stiffen the manifolds so the problem...

Computers. Sometimes at work (on CNC machines) you got to shut them down and kill the power, then let them sit dead for several minutes. Then power them up and turn on the computers. Functions won't work and gremlins appear until you do. Our modern cars have many computers on them. Anyone of...
