    Side exit exhaust / new muffler

    Factory muffler was rusted out when I bought it so replaced it with a Speedway "high flow" a couple years ago, absolute garbage. Inlet and outlet welds both broke and I had to reweld them, now the baffles are rusted out and it sounds like I have a tin can in my exhaust. The rest of the pipe is...

    Death wobble/leveling/new shocks/track bar offset/tire pressure

    Between a few questions that I’ve had and helping some other people with their questions, I figured I would do a write up on what I did on my front end this last weekend and kind of compile everything: 09 2500 (3rd gen) with a hemi, I had instances of death wobble a while ago but it had been...

    Alignment needed from leveling (2500)?

    So I’m planning to level my 2500 but I want to double check my alignment theory. When you lift a 1500 with the IFS you obviously have to get a full alignment as your geometry (camber, toe, caster, etc) all changes through your travel so you need to reset those values for your new height. The...

    These components work?

    Local guy on facebook has some "hardly used" Rough Country 2" leveling springs for $150 (new is $200 + tax) and I was thinking of using these 5100 bils. Still not super familiar with lift components, so will these match each other? I don't know why they wouldn't but I don't really want to...

    Off road forum?

    Putting this in the "other vehicle discussion" as this is all working towards my sierra. I am wanting to slowly start building my 93 Sierra into an off roader and I've always had good luck getting good info from forums, but as many off road forums as there are I want to sign up for one where I...

    Killed by the cold.

    Regarding my post yesterday about the intermittent P0300…..NEVERMIND. -12F, absolutely did not want to start and started to wear down the battery. Couldn’t take my Sierra because the lights are having issues but it does run so I pulled it around for a jump. Got a good solid crank out of the ram...

    Intermittent P0300

    Chronological order of events…. Temp is around -6F, which when really cold it will sometimes take an extra crank or two but this time it sounded like a diesel for 6-8 sec. Pulled the key back to stop it, gave it 5 sec and tried again. After about 5sec of cranking it finally started. Cool…...

    Just need shocks for level?

    My shocks are old as dirt but I was wanting to leave them be until I really needed them. Well, I hit some snow that was packed uneven and the front shuddered terribly so I guess it's time. I plan on being cheap and just doing the fronts for now but I'm sure the rears won't be far behind. All...

    Thermostat stuck open temp

    This is for a 93 Sierra 1500, I didn't feel like joining another forum so just figured I would give it a shot here. Front end accident a couple years ago, slowly been rebuilding and its mostly street legal now. What I'm seeing now that I'm starting to drive it around some is that the coolant...

    Another diff fluid thread

    Manual is calling out 75w-90 front and rear, but I often see guys running the 75w90 front but 75w-140 rear. Not sure if different years call for a different weight or some personal preference. If I use the 75w-90 for both, how much would it take? Also, it specifically says in a couple places...

    Removing front sway bar?

    I fully expect @DILLIGAF to tell me to just throw it away but I would still like some more input. '09 2500 so 3rd gen body with 4th gen everything else, currently on 35s with no lift, tires rub a little if I'm turning and compressed but either/or won't do it. I'm debating pulling the sway bar...

    Stupid question - what is this thing

    Crawled under last night for an unrelated issue and found this. Seems to be leaking engine oil everywhere, as confirmed by my dipstick. What is it though, it's clear back between my transfer case and gas tank. I want to fix/replace it, but I need to know what it is first.

    Fuel supply issue?

    09 2500 5.7, 87 octane fuel, I've had issues since I got it where at times it would have an issues with low end torque and occasional sputtering on acceleration, and it seems like its worse when its cold. It seems to be slowly getting worse and particularly the last few weeks where morning temps...

    Manifold leak

    I don't actually have a problem, just something I would like to discuss. I frequently see on this site that if your engine tick is constant its a lifter but if it is only there for a cold start and then goes away when warm then that would be the manifold, as though things would seal back up...

    4th & 3rd gen mutt

    So for the 2500 & 3500, mine being a 2500, the 2009 models got an extra year of being a 3rd gen. However, these 09 3rd gens have the 4th gen engine layout, and I would assume trans as well. Anybody know where exactly they drew the line between the 4th gen power plant & 3rd gen drive line? Or is...

    Lifter tick after sitting

    I used to daily my 09 (200k) every day and never noticed any tick, and I still don't when I drive it consistently, but with it warm out I take the bike to work as much as I can and may not take the ram for a week at a time. When it's been sitting for a while like that, there will be some lifter...

    Spark plug part #

    Finally replaced the bad water pump and my U-joint that was about to turn my axle into a grenade, I can finally start taking preventative steps instead of just chasing issues. I want to do plugs next but I want to be sure to get a good set. I've seen on the forum to avoid amazon and ebay due...

    Upgraded steering components?

    The outer and inner ballpoints in my drag link are both shot, my understanding is that you have to replace the whole unit, not just the joints. Right now I have OEM parts in my cart ready to order, but I was curious if there were any upgrades worth doing. I do some occasional off roading...

    Joint terminology

    09 ram 2500 4wd, yes it is a 3rd gen even though its an 09. Solid front axle. The U-joint is going bad and makes a loud popping when in 4wd. Looking to source parts, some places call it a U-joint and some places call it a CV joint, what is it exactly? In don't want to order parts and get...

    5.7 chugging/ slowing down under throttle

    Hello all, I've watched from a distance for years but just now made an account as I'm having as issue I can't solve. My 08 2500 5.7 frequently has low power/torque at low RPMs. Sometimes its so bad that when I push the gas more it actually slows down. When I push more and it downshifts it...
