    Orange ignition spark.

    When I looked up that part on Autozone's website, it says that it has a limited lifetime warranty. Maybe they'd let you get a new one? That would at least tell you if the coil is the issue or not.

    Orange ignition spark.

    Same with the coil? Was it OEM or aftermarket? What brand?

    P0456 code question

    I had it a few years ago. It ended up being some deep scratches around the metal filler neck opening.

    EPS Issues

    Dude!! Pics? I knew the internal combustion engine wasn't going away. But, its awesome to see that the Hemi will still be around. I've been hearing rumors it's going away in 2025. I knew they wouldn't do away with such an awesome engine! Glad to see that they'll come to their senses...

    Can I remove transmission fluid with my fluid pump?

    Yes, but for me it didn't work. Well, It kinda did work, but didn't help. I pumped out the fluid from the dipstick tube until it was slurping air. I confidently crawled under, removed the bolts and dropped a pan FULL of fluid onto my face. Not sure how it's possible, since I pumped out...

    Clanking noise around transmission

    Also, Since they had the belt off for the water pump work, I would look over the pulleys, tensioner and belt routing for anything obvious. The tapping that changes back to clunks, taps, etc, intermittently kinda sounds like a wire, clamp, connector, bolt head or some other random part getting...

    Clanking noise around transmission

    My first suspicion would be something in the timing cover/water pump. Maybe they accidentally dropped a tool or bolt in. If you can find a short section of garden hose or similar, use it like a stethoscope. Stick one end to your ear, and the other to various parts of the lower engine area...

    Clanking noise around transmission

    Obvious question, but have you crawled under it to look/listen. Last time mine sounded like that, I crawled under and found one of my exhaust pipes laying on the drive shaft. It was easy to diagnose, and easy to fix. Just had to replace a U bolt

    2013 Ram 1500 5.7 - Sale Price Advice

    Even if it's the cam/lifters, it would be a lot cheaper to fix than to replace. 2k for a cam/lifter job, and she might go for another 100k miles.

    Hemi Tick getting Louder

    Definitely sounds like manifold bolts. It's a common thing. I've replaced them 4 times, in 3 vehicles. My previous 2010 Ram twice, my wife's Durango once, and in my current 2013 Ram once. Next time, i'll be following the advice here and sanding them flat...

    2013 Ram 1500 5.7 - Sale Price Advice

    I did a quick KBB used truck value, using "Fair", as the condition I selected. Considering that anyone who looks at buying it is going to assume the engine is bad, needing at least a cam/lifter replacement, it's age and mileage, you'll probably be looking @ or below the lower end of this range.

    Right intermediate shaft difference between 3.21 and 3.55 gears?

    It's the same. None of the usual parts stores list a different part depending on axle ratio. They show the same part, regardless of ratio. This Canadian outfit makes units that have a pretty decent reputation. The right side shaft only...

    Cluster back light diming

    This is a common issue. It happened to me as well. There is no fix that I know of, other than replacing it. If you do a search for "instrument cluster flickering", or similar, you'll find tons of threads on the issue. I replaced mine with a used one from Ebay, and used AlphaOBD to...

    So, did you ever get it fixed?
