    sounds like a squeaky belt

    Being a 2014 replacing the serpentine belt is a logical place to start. Even if it doesn’t fix it, your probably about due for a new one anyways.

    Turning turn signal mirrors into Running Lights

    Boost auto sells kits to do what your wanting. Expensive but they’ll do what your wanting, it can’t be done with just Alfaobd, at least not that I’ve ever heard of.

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    Correct gasket on the correct side, just completely backwards.

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    I don’t think it’s a head gasket or bolt thing, even the cheapest china gaskets should seal and last at least a little while. My guess is some debris is stuck in there, or like mentioned I somehow got the gasket backwards or on the wrong side. Just a thought, do any of the manifold bolts go...

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    I triple checked but we’ll see when I pull it off.

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    Got it all back together, was filling it with coolant and it started pouring water off the drivers side manifold lol. Somehow the head gasket didn’t seal at all there, at least that’s the only thing I can think of, hard to see that area. There are no coolant hoses or anything in the area...

    Question on Bilstein shocks

    If your truck stays mostly on pavement you’ll probably be happier with the 4600s, I’ve never had them but I hear they are softer then 5100s. Pretty sure your assumption on the circlips is correct, pretty sure I’ve read the same thing elsewhere but can’t find it now. The 6112s and 5100s have a...

    Question on Bilstein shocks

    Yes. You can set them as high as 2.1” without needed to upgrade upper control arms. Or if you want to keep it stock, the second lowest snap ring on the 5100s (0.7”) is what you’ll want

    2013 Ram 1500 5.7 - Sale Price Advice

    Probably $4k, could try for a bit more. Less if you want to sell it quickly.

    Warlock Lift Explanation - Read this before lifting/leveling your Warlock's

    You need angle correcting upper control arms to run bilsteins at the highest setting. Generally 2.1” and under is the limit for stock arms. If you were to install the stock arms they wouldn’t last long and would probably ride poorly, the ball joint will be constantly maxing out. Kind of...

    Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    That just says to set the crank and cam to 6 and 12 like a dozen other threads and videos. My problem is I can’t get it to a perfect 12 and 6, and I don’t know if that’s normal or not.

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    First a little backstory, truck is a 2011 1500, 5.7 hemi obviously. I bought it as is, wouldn’t idle, died every time it went into gear, had generic misfire codes. On disassembly I found a snapped valve spring on #5 intake, which explains those issues. I ended up removing the heads to replace...

    Custom overhead aux switches, Ford style

    These switches are rated for 20A at 12v, or 10A at 125v. Drawing under 10% of that rating, I see no concern for failure. I’ve already been using them to power my lights for about a year, all I’m doing is changing the location and eliminating the distribution block since it’s quite excessive for...
