    Took the Output Shaft / Passenger side CV shaft off (together). Can’t find Output Shaft replacement

    I gave up on separating the CV shaft from the Differential Output Shaft and removed the whole thing in one piece. Even if I get them separated, I have a good feeling the teeth on the Differential Output shaft are worn / rusty, so I just figured I’d buy a whole replacement Output Shaft to go...

    Can’t get passenger side CV axle OFF. Can’t get drivers side back ON. So it’s parked for now.

    I tackled the CV axle / front hub bearing change today. Instructions were fairly straightforward. Got to the point that I needed to remove the CV axle from the passenger side and it’s not coming off. I squirted Kroil into the CV axle splines with a syringe and in no time it was moving and...

    Changed my sway bar bushings today. Looking for factory torque specs, if available.

    Changed out my sway bar bushings today. Searched the site and found torque specs ranging from 21 to 63 ft lbs, along with references to two to four ugga tugga’s. 😆 Anyone know actual factory specs? I went with 30 for now. Had to go get a burger, so it had to get torqued to something.

    I was concerned with Rock Auto - I should have been concerned with Mopar.com National eStore.

    Bit of a rant. Gotta get this off my chest, because I just feel like whining a little this evening. 😆 On 3/9/25, I placed my order for two Axle Half Shaft, Remanufactured, from Mopar.com National eStore. Today, I get a notice that my order was cancelled. No explanation as to why. Just that...

    Placed my first order with Rock Auto. Keeping my fingers crossed

    I needed new front wheel bearings / hubs. Mopar would have been over $800 for both sides. Rock Auto was about $575. I have never used them before, but people on here seemed to love them, so I took the chance. I probably shouldn't have checked their reviews before ordering, because it was a...

    Would you trust a factory Mopar "remanufactured" CV shaft?

    I need to replace my CV shafts. They are clicking - especially the passenger side. When I shake the left one by hand underneath the truck near the transfer case, I can see quite a bit of movement where it connects to the transfer case, and it makes a clunking noise there. I priced CV shafts...

    Quality stock-height front struts I can install myself on my 2019 Laramie 1500 4x4

    I'm looking to replace my factory front struts. I don't want a lift. I'm not a off-roader. This is my daily driver truck that I use for hunting / towing a boat. I saw several ads and suggestions for Bilstein B8 5100's, using stock springs. But I don't have access to a spring compressor, and...

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    I did a search, hoping I’d come across something, but nothing really answered my questions. Saw a couple of “PITA” references to changing the back 4 on the drivers side by the brake booster, and that’s my main concern. So hoping someone has experience with doing this. Mine is not the hybrid...

    Thinking of getting a tonneau cover….

    I want a tonneau cover, and I’m narrowing down my choices. I have a 2019 1500 Laramie 4x4 with the 5’7” bed, not Rambox. I have dual Swingcase boxes installed, and that narrows down my choices as well, as some don’t work with those. When I launch my boat, I usually go from the side steps to...

    Oil Cooler failed (leaked)

    So I was due for my 60K transfer case service, and right about that time, my check engine light came on. I got the OBDII test done, and it turns out it was a bad thermostat. Reset it by disconnecting the battery and it was fine for a day before giving me a check engine light again (I always do...

    New 5th Gen owner that just realized this section was here

    I was about to post my first classified ad, and saw the requirement for number of post (which I figured there would be a rule about that - that's normal these days), but I hadn't seen the new member introduction part. So I've been clicking away at all the survey posts (where I live, what type...

    Who makes the best rear under-seat storage?

    I have had three Quad Cab trucks before my current 2019 Crew Cab, and this is the first time I don't have storage under the rear seats. I saw the DU-HA underseat storage and got very interested. Then I saw that DU-HA has a locking version, and that seemed really nice. But I read a couple of...

    Where can I purchase the door insert cup holders?

    I didn't think to check if mine from my 2014 would fit in the doors of my new 2019, but they probably didn't anyway. At least that's what I'm telling myself. :LOL: Anyway, my truck didn't come with the little foamy inserts that go in the pockets of both doors. I'd really like to at least get...

    Trying to identify my upper interior color - Is this Diesel Gray?

    I just purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4. It's a Brilliant Black Crystal exterior color, and the interior leather is black. But the upper portion - the columns, headliner, and visors, all are a grayish color. I've looked up the colors my truck came in, and all it says is Black or...
