A head gasket only pays 9 hours, somebody is trying to screw you. Plus its actually easy work

What year of pickup

The vm engine is a fiat/chevy. Multiple reason why there isnt a v8 cummins in a ram. Mostly mpg, nvh, and $$$$

Did you remember to run a intake bolt through the ground wire?

The way I personally have found and understood a bad fca was a rythmic miss/tic that will come and go. Now if you have the ability to watch your set point and actual, you can find bad cp3, lp, and even fca. Lp can easily be checked by a flow test and so can the cp3. My pickup is getting...

I put a raptor on my 02 and for some reason would hard start but would eventually start after awhile. I happend to pull the cap and heard air rushing into the tank. So I left the cap loose and never had a problem. Sold the pickup so I never got a chace to figure out what vent was plugged. The...
