    Fuel Injector Summary

    I am approaching mileage to consider new injectors. Sig truck , stock 04 305hp with smjr. This truck must pass a semi annual commercial emission snap opacity test. For this test I remove the smjr programming as it creates issues with rpm ramp up. Will BBI's 0.5's pass a commercial snap test ...

    Clutch job: what am I getting into?

    Make sure you have a HD jack as used on Class 8 trucks with tilt able deck front to back and side to side. You can leave Tcase attached . Consider Southbend and upgrade to better pilot bearing. If this is a long term truck, consider hydraulics , slave and master change, as well as rear main...

    OEM batteries are junk

    I know of 2 MY 14’s and a 16 that have already needed new batteries. The OEM batteries in my 04 were changed at 14yrs , but only as I was getting nervous. The cheapest bid for the 4th Gen batteries is not going to gain any new business for Ram. Unfortunately Ford is IMO beginning to kick...

    Retractable running boards

    Bestop also makes a almost identical version. I have had for 8 yrs now. Over time pass side failed to deploy fully on occasion. (Open close door twice and all good).

    Which Power Boards?

    Best Top and AMP are very similar. Amp step original with less warranty. Bestop a copy from amp step partner trouble (afaik). I have Bestop going on 8yrs or so.

    rust proofing for new truck, suggestions?

    I whole heartedly also recommend Krown. An annual application will keep rust away OR prevent it from getting worse. Spring time application is best because spring/ summer heat really makes the accumulated salt work that is in hidden areas. I will not buy a used vehicle in my area...
