    Brendan Schaub flips TRX in the desert

    Didn't seem like it was fun. Too much money, not enough brains. I would say it also looks like it hurt financially but I imagine money isn't as much of a concern to him.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The one dealer I do not like has a habit of charging people diagnostic fees if you don't have the work done there. They tried to pull that my rear window, which my preferred dealer actually got covered after under warranty. It's remarkable how dealers can vary so much.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I watched again, and you may be right. However, they still should have realized there was an issue an fixed it.

    Anyone ACTUALLY running 5w-30 or even 10w-30? Thoughts? Experience? Any REAL TRUTH to throwing a code running higher weight oil (no conjecture please)

    It's a sad world we live in where they won't provide a physical owner's manual anymore because they like to change it at-will, to suit their liability/need.

    Anyone ACTUALLY running 5w-30 or even 10w-30? Thoughts? Experience? Any REAL TRUTH to throwing a code running higher weight oil (no conjecture please)

    To this point: Did they change the owners manual? Someone recently recommended I switch from 5w-20 to 5w-30. I vaguely remember in the owners manual there WAS (not any longer) an oil viscosity chart based on operating temperature conditions. Mysteriously...I can't find it. As you know, the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Seriously? That's glaring. I'd probably try and find another dealer to start. Beyond that, lower rear bolt on the manifold. Pull the exhaust shield a bit. If it moves? Stud is broken. First generation manifolds it's usually the stud. Second generation the manifolds just tend to crack. I told...

    Camber nonsense

    Just an update, while the truck was in the dealer for the exhaust manifold I had them align it. It was STILL out from the prior shop. I kind of saw it was. Mavis - Did basically nothing. Private Shop - Only fixed, essentially, general alignment. Dealer - Got it all right. Toe-in was off. Like...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Nothing I did, but finally got my passenger side exhaust manifold fixed by the dealer. It feels like I'm driving a new truck. Not from a performance standpoint but I'm now no longer embarrassed to fire it up in public with the godforsaken ticking noise. Now I have just some normal valve/lifter...

    Recommendations: External add-on lights

    I've been looking at them and the Oracle light bar for my front grill. What boogielander posted looks killer. But for the prices, it's a lot. I know he does a lot of serious offroad and overlanding. For me, it's more trying to make sure I can see around me at 4am at a desolate boat ramp in the...

    2025 Parts

    I'd be curious to see if the passenger side display could be retrofitted to the 5th gens.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I have the stock size but replaced with KO2's. So probably 33's.

    Fold down rear seat mod tutorial

    It will not. I was nervous because I thought the car seat straps for my son's car seat attached to the seat back. They actually attach to the firewall.

    Fold down rear seat mod tutorial

    I typically only need to put a semi auto shotgun or bolt action rifle in the back seat. It seems like there would be enough room. Just trying to figure out how I would fabricate a bracket.

    Fold down rear seat mod tutorial

    Has anyone figured a way to mount a rifle/long gun rack behind the rear seat against the firewall?

    I appreciate the input. I am going to take some time and go through this. Definitely some sticker shock on those light prices. I definitely want to make sure I put something on that is quality for sure.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I'm about 2000rpm at 75 mph with the stock tire size so it seems right.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Appreciate it. Seems to be about normal.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I have the Rebel with 3.92's. Just out of curiosity, what does everyone with 3.92 turn for RPM at about 75 mph? Maybe it's just the fact I haven't been on the highway in a while, but, I was doing 75mph today and noticed I was turning 2000 rpm. Seemed a little bit high from what I remember.

    Gear oil choices for 3.92 LSD

    100% normal. What was said about the e-locker on drive pavement is false. As long as you go in a straight line on dry/firm ground with the e-locker, it's not an issue. What you are experiencing is normal. The axle is locked and the inner or outer wheel, around turns, can't keep up/grip the same...
