    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    Definately a great kit, well constructed with quality parts. The nice thing is that there are no holes to drill to mount the remote filter and no modifications to the truck, so if you want to remove it (or install it on another ram) there will be no indication that it was ever installed. I also...

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    The kit I installed is mfg by PacPro. I'm not sure how to attach a link, but if you google it, it will take you to the site. This is a really nice quality kit that fits perfectly with no leaks.

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    If one plans on keeping their Ram for awhile, it is definately worth the cost to install an oil filter relocation kit; so much easier, and NO mess!

    Repaint a New RAM?

    OP; I would definately first try wet sanding / polish before anything else. Keep in mind that wet sanding can also "level" the paint quickly depending on the detailers process causing a difference in the surface finish (orange peel). When I correct paint blemishes, I use a semi soft block / pad...

    Replacement wipers

    Thanks for the link; some great info for sure. The OEM blades on my truck are 1.5 years old and were starting to leave lines as they wiped. I did a lot of research and narrowed it down to the Icons and Valeo 900 series; finally settling on the Icons. I had Icons on my 14 Ram for a short time...

    Can't remove one hex head screw to install mud flap

    Is this on the front or rear mud guard? There are clips attached to the fenders that the screws go through; sometimes the ears that hold the screw threads cut into the screws when they are installed forming a groove in the screw threads preventing it from backing out. It's not common, but when...

    Replacement wipers

    I purchased the Bosch Icon wiper blades earlier today and am getting ready to install them now. Both sides required part number 24A, unlike my 2014 which required "A" for the drivers side and "B" for the passenger side. I removed the passenger side first and compared the OEM to the Bosch. There...

    What to use to clean dash in a leather upholstered truck?

    With larger areas to repair, it will be necessary to inject adhesive in multiple areas. Keep in mind, there will be small pin holes left where the needle was injected, and due to the large area being repaired, will most likely be noticeable. However, if you take your time, the repair will look...

    2020 Rams sits low driver's side

    My 2019 1500 sits the same way regardless of the tank being full or empty. I will be interested myself of the cause.

    What to use to clean dash in a leather upholstered truck?

    Adhesive can be injected via a thin needle into a raised section of leather or vinyl and rolled out flat. The key here is to make a few punctures with a small sewing needle in the raised area to release the trapped air. By using a small sewing needle, there will be little, if any, adhesive that...

    Let the fun begin!

    I would have the dealer replace the door catch, or at least lubricate it. Years ago, I had a Suburban with barn doors. When the weather dipped into the 30's, the doors would not close; turned out water was getting into the weather strip through the tiny vent holes (to allow for compression since...

    Let the fun begin!

    Possible the strike on the door jamb is adjusted too far inward and not allowing the door latch to fully catch when the door is shut; especially when it's cold and the weather stripping is firm. When the door is closed, is it flush with the cab, or is it either in or out slightly?

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    It's a MightyVac extraction pump. I use a 3/16" o.d. tube for the Hemi, as the 1/4" tube that came with it was too large to get past where the dipstick tube attaches to the engine block. I'm going to order some 4mm i.d. x 5mm o.d. tubing for the next oil change, as it will allow a faster flow of...

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    I bought the Valvomax drain plug, but didnt install it as I use a vacuume pump to extract the oil from the dipstick tube. I Called PacPro direct and the kit was shipped to me within a few days from the west coast.

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Oil pressure is perfect. I did have to add an additional 24 oz. of oil as I used a larger filter, and the addition of hoses. Looking forward to the next oil change!

    Laramie Longhorn wheel insert color

    I purchased the truck a year ago this month, and when doing the oil change and tire rotation a few weeks ago just noticed the paint damage on the wheel. If I were to take it to the dealer, they would most likely claim that I did it when rotating the tires. It's on the edge of one of the lug nut...
