Attention: TDR Forum Junkies To the point: Click this link and check out the Front Page News story(ies) where we are tracking the introduction of the 2025 Ram HD trucks.
Thankfully I have Weathertech mats, but the title says it all…
These drips are happening while the truck is sitting.
I am assuming that they are refrigerant system oil leaking from a leaking AC/heat exchanger or connection.
I will pull the AC fuse to prevent the compressor from running without...
Over the weekend, I changed the oil/filter and ALSO installed the ValvoMax drain plug that has been waiting in the shop.
I had wrestled with the decision as to whether to buy the Fumoto or EZ Drain from Genos, but settled on the ValvoMax and I am extremely happy with that decision!!! Bought the...
The ABS light on my 2005 4x4 has been lit in my truck for awhile now.
It happened out of the blue and I have not paid attention to it becuase I am no fan of ABS systems and there seem to be no braking problems with the truck.
I finally got around to checking the DTC with a Smarty POD code...
Torque Test Channel gives An excellent overview of fake vs counterfeit and how if a price on a tool seems too good to be true, the tool likely isn’t real DESPITE actual appearance and labels!!!
Pulled the old SBC clutch today and found the rear main seal seeping.
After gently prying out the seal and in the process of gently cleaning up the case and crankshaft with brake cleaner, I can see and feel some extremely, very slight markings on the crankshaft seal surface.
After cleaning the...
Trying to decide if its a good idea to take the time and trouble to first pull the TC off the G56 in order to make removing and reinstalling the G56 for the clutch replacement more manageable ( in other words, easier to align on reinstall)
All ideas welcome, with priority given to those from...
Im getting ready to change out the SBC Con OFE clutch on my 2005 to a Valair organic DD and will need to change the G56 transmission fluid as well.
Ive been running Trans Coolers and an extra quart of Mobil Delvac 50 for the last 50k, but what is the preferred lube or combination of fluids for the...
While in this day and age I use only Fleetguard, and sometimes Wix filters on my on my truck, I do often use Napa Gold filters on the other vehicles I own and service and have been well served by them over the many years.
The YT video is made by a auto repair shop owner and is NOT meant to...
Prices for oem parts has gotten SO high that I am wondering if the Gates serpentine belt/tensioner kit is up to par...
Obviously I would still buy them from Genos, but I am curious if anyone here running them have updated comments on quality and longevity of these parts??
Pretty much what the title says. :(
Today in town, as I hopped out of the truck to get lunch, I used the master door lock switch on DS door to lock up the truck.
And NOTHING happened.
I figured that the master door switch wiring had finally failed, so I used the key fob to lock the doors...
I sure am hoping that Ram is NOT gonna start doing things like this, though I'm sure that it's possible they and many other vehicle manufacturers already are :eek:
The South Bend Con-OFE clutch that I installed in my 2005 G56 12 years ago is finally slipping. Despite throw out bearing noise and a jerkier engagement from the Con OFE discs, it has been a decent clutch until I inadvertently (read distractedly) slipped it going up a steep hill with a heavy...
A distributor that I like no longer carries Donaldson Filters that I use on my 2005 upgraded fuel, power steering and coolant filter systems.
He is recommending direct fit crosses with filters made by Luber Finer.
ALL opinions on the quality of Luber-Fiber filters are welcome.
ALSO, any...
I have a chance to purchase two complete sets of 4th gen wheels in excellent condition for an excellent price.
While both are 8 x 6.5 lug pattern, The Tradesman wheels are supposedly 18" and the the Night Edition wheels are 20" wheels.
Any advice at all appreciated on
1) direct fitment...
On the road right now and rear pads just started grinding on rotors. (My bad)
Would like to replace them ASAP with OEM Mopar Premium Brake Pads but all that info is back home on the desktop computer.
Anyone have the part # for them ??
PLEASE NOTE that I am NOT interested in any other...
