    Digital rearview camera swap with cargo cam physical location?

    The HDRam chmsl is physically different than the 5th gens because the HD trucks still use the 4th gen cabs. It will not bolt on to your 5rh gen.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The other option is to buy a set of the pass through sockets and ratchet. Then you can get a tool on the hex of the shift above the nut, to hold the shaft when you break the nut loose.

    E-Locker???

    I have a truck with a LSD, one with a lunchbox locker, and my RAM with the e-locker. The LSD works "okay" but will still allow one wheel to spin in extreme traction differences between each wheel. Which is when you would want it to be locked the most. Lunch box locker, Powertrax No-Slip...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Leave spring pressure on the strut when loosening the bolt. Will help keep the shaft from spinning. Once the nut starts to loosen, then compress the springs. As for ball joint, never use a pickle fork. All they do it destroy the ball joint boots. Hopefully you have new UCAs already...

    Tonneau cover advice

    Just my opinion, but unless you go with a full fiberglass bed cover that goes over the rails, and do a tailgate seal, no tonneau cover prevents water from getting in the bed. I have a Gator ETX soft roll up. The only water that gets in my bed comes from around the tailgate. I did install a...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Never red, they use blue from the factory on the bolts for the caliper mounting bracket, but I wouldn't use them in the caliper pins

    E-Locker???

    Not hating, but there should never be a time when you "need" LSD at highway speeds.

    E-Locker???

    If you driving on a highway, the elocker is disengaged, because it unlocks above 25mph. So no issues there.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I had built a 410 stroker and it lived a short life with a catastrophic failure over the summer. Since I would have had to buy a new block and rotating assembly, I decided to jump on the Hemi swap bandwagon. I still have another Dakota R/T this is inheriting a lot of the parts and will become...

    Dashcam Recommendations

    I've had a FitcamX on my truck for over three years now and even bought one for my wife's Traverse. They don't lost one for her traverse, but the Blazer one works perfect with a little trimming. No issues with either one. Have the app to connect to the camera is a HUGE plus. If you get in an...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Drove it to Kansas City and back to pick up parts for my 6.4 Hemi swap I am doing on one of my Dakota R/Ts.

    Rear alignment

    Centering left to right . Forward and and backward in wheel well, and pinion angle.

    E-Locker???

    Unless they changed it for 25/26 it actually unlocks at 25mph. I have not had any issues in Nebraska winters with the e-locker. Never felt that I needed the LSD to get around. 4-auto without locking the rear gets you 99% of the places you will drive on an average commute. 4-high covers the...

    Rear alignment

    It can be adjustable if you buy aftermarket control arms and panhard bar.

    Symbol of Protest badge placement?

    Are you sure that's the name for them. My build sheet for my 2020 has "symbol of protest" badge listed on it as well, and have no Hemi badge in my fender

    Brown Sludge on Coolant Dipstick?

    You would be losing coolant if one or both were bad.

    Cylinder Misfire and Potential Blown Head Gasket, Dealership Repair Question

    Personally, if you have the money for the repair, I would go that route. Unless you are just looking for an excuse to get a new truck it will cost you far more than $5k for a new truck. And having a paid off vehicle is far nicer than having to make payments again. As for diagnosis, seems...

    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    I highly discourage anyone from using cross drilled rotors. Unless you have a high end car that came with them from the factory, or are spending thousands of dollars in high performance rotors. 99% of the cross drilled rotors sold are just regular smooth rotors that have been drilled out. The...

    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    I'd recommend the Reybestos R-300 rotors. They are slotted and nice. I have them in my 99 Dakota and have been impressed. along with the Reybestos element 3 pads Akebono pads are good as well. I think they are made in Japan and are used by some OEMs.
