Dad Joke Alert for old guys: What do you call a line of Easter bunnies hopping backwards? A receding hare line........

If I recall the 2009 ecu had extra security and there was a program that was loaded before the efi-live tune was loaded to open the gateway. You may want to check your tune writer to see if they accounted for this. I only run on stock power setting and the truck runs so much better.

I think the set up in the picture would work that clips to the rim. Thanks for the post.

Hoefler, I can't even reach my fingers through the rim to unscrew the cap on the inner valve stem. The air hose extension is not an option.

Yes I have an older 15w-40 engine. I figured it was a good time to post about this since motor oil was the subject.

OK, need some advice here from you guys who know. Last week I borrowed a trailer from my brother to bring home a load of fertilizer. The trailer I borrowed has dual wheels. Before I left on my trip I checked the air pressure on the trailer tires and of course they needed air. I couldn't get...

So does anyone have an opinion on Mobil Delvac 1300 blend 15w-40 oil? I have always used Valvoline 15w-40 conventional oil with 5k oil changes. The Mobil is much cheaper priced ($12.37) at my local Sam’s Club than what I can purchase the Valvoline oil. I can also get Rotella T4 ($15.66) for a...

Here is a link to the radio install in my 2009 truck. The Kenwood radio (dnx577s) does everything you're looking for. I have mixed thoughts about it because I find the various menu's a chore to get through to get what you want. Changing radio stations is not the easiest as the buttons are...

For those that bypass the WTS, isn't the grid heater still cycling after the truck has started? The grid heater in my old truck will cycle until I get out onto the road.

I have the light load button on my old truck. There is a technique for changing the load status. Turn the ignition on (no start), adjust the pressure and push the button. During the winter or on a long trip with no trailer I use the light load setting. 45R/60F. It makes quite a difference in...

About every 3 years I flush the brake fluid and service the caliper pins.

Watched the video. I understand the reasoning behind moving the catalyst next to the turbo. It seems like a lot of extra heat under the hood to bake and make brittle wiring and the other components under the hood. I hope Ram can move a lot of air under the hood. Also their banter about...

I have a basic factory radio that you can have for the cost of shipping. It worked well before I removed it.

Definitely a video worth watching. Very frustrating seeing all these counterfeit parts. I have bought Baldwin oil filters from Rock Auto when they were on sale in the past. Now it makes me wonder what I have been purchasing. Where does Rock Auto get them and then sell them much cheaper than...

I should buy a lottery ticket. My truck batteries are 7 years old here in December 2024. I can tell they are getting up in age. I do allow the grid heater to cycle and the truck starts quicker (less revolutions) than if I bypass the grid heater cycle. My local battery guy told me to always...
