Rattle after suspension work
Sorry for the delayed update. Checked front end links, turns out the driver side one had come a little loose, so retorqued that. Greased the front UCA ball joints which I hadn’t done yet (they did come greased from the factory though). Also, installed new Core 4x4 greasable rear end links... -

TRQ brake rotors
So, I've used TRQ parts before (thru 1aauto) to replace almost the entire suspension on my wife's '09 Jeep Liberty: struts, shocks, front UCAs and LCAs (including BJs and bushings), rear LCAs; as well as front drive shaft, and front and rear brake pads and rotors. The quality and fitment seemed...- Duuplo

Icon 1.5” or Superlift 2” Rear Colis?
Wish I would have came across this thread before I bought my rear springs. I went with ICON 1.5" rear coils for the Ram, converting from 1.5" motofab spacers w/ stock springs. The height was perfect with the spacers, gave me a true 1.5" lift and about 1 1/4" rake with my front Bilsteins set at... -
All terrain tires
I could also recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs, I have them in 275/65R20. They look aggressive, but not too aggressive. And they do great in the snow (NE native here). Ride quality is great, not rough at all even though they are load E rated. Very quiet too.- Duuplo

MDS vs ECO
2016 1500 5.7L here. So, two case studies from me. I started out with the Pulsar in-line module, which has several modes and each has an MDS On or Off option. Whenever I had it an MDS Off mode, say Performance/MDS Off, I would never see the ECO light turn on. If I was in Stock/MDS On, the...- Duuplo

Rattle after suspension work
Hmm… I just got my Icon rear 1.5” coils in the mail, so I will check those rear shocks bolts when I put those in. It’s actually 21mm, I remember because I just installed some Bilstein 5100s a couple weeks ago and I had to buy an extra wrench to cut down into a stubby. To me, it feels like the... -
Rattle after suspension work
I just replaced the front sway bar end links with some MaxxLinks for 1-3” lift. Haven’t had much time on them, but I think the rattle/jiggle is still there. Also, right after install, I was driving on the highway to work and experienced noticable vibration above 70 mph. Nothing below that... -
Rattle after suspension work
Thanks @mrack, I will give the wheels a shake to see what sort of play is there. Would this present a different sound/symptom or anything I could distinguish between a bad joint vs bearing? Wheel bearings usually make a grinding noise when going bad, I think. -
Rattle after suspension work
This makes sense to me as there would be more tension on sway bar and such. Luckily, I have some new front and rear end links on order with Nick@GotExhaust (sorry, don't know how to properly link profile). I will see how things are after installing end links and retorquing everything down in a... -
Rattle after suspension work
Drove all the way home from work this afternoon and did some errands along the way: highway and stop/go city driving with plenty of potholes along the way. Couldn't reproduce the rattle. Weird how it is so intermittent. I have the hemi tick from from a broken header bolt on start up, I wonder... -
Rattle after suspension work
I am planning to go over and retorq everything again in about a week after the new suspension has settled more. Could someone check my work on these torq specs: Outer Tie Rod End to Knuckle: 45 ft/lbs Front End Link to Swaybar: 20 ft/lbs (thought this seemed low, but couldn't find a different... -
Rattle after suspension work
I don't recall noticing it while accelerating on level ground, but it has only been 2 days since install. I will give it a few pulls on the way home to verify. Lol, Lincoln residents would be piqued to know they are considered unworthy of the 5-story club. :Big Laugh: -
Rattle after suspension work
One additional note: I have to go up a ramp to the parking garage at my work. I noticed the rattle very distinctly when accelerating up the ramp. I thought this odd because it’s not “bumpy”, just at an incline. It happened each ramp I ascended up to the 5th floor. -
Rattle after suspension work
Just installed Bilstein 6112s @ 2.8" (came preassembled) along with ReadyLift UCAs in the front, and 5100s with 1.5" Motofab spacers in the rear. I was pretty meticulous about torque specs and tightening everything up with suspension under full weight. I got a professional alignment done day... -
Alright guys.. BILSTEINS post your pics!!!
Anything added to the rear (e.g. spacers, taller coils)? -
Alright guys.. BILSTEINS post your pics!!!
Stock height, brand new 275/65R20s Cooper AT3 XLTs. Debadged. Bilstein 6112s @ 2.8” and ReadyLift UCAs front, Bilstein 5100s and MotoFab 1.5” spacers rear. Still have 1 1/8” of rake which is about what I was aiming for. (Some Icon 1.5” rear coils on the way.) EDIT: Measured again after... -
Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!

Can you tune a factory pcm in a 2017 ram 1500?
Pulsar advertises +30hp/+30tq on performance mode. There's a youtube vid where guy dyno'd before and after, saw +25-28 peak whp & wtq increase. I think there was actually higher gains in the mid-range. Definitely notice the throttle response, took me a couple days to not squeak my tires at...- Duuplo

Can you tune a factory pcm in a 2017 ram 1500?
Full disclosure: I'm already thinking of upgrading to a full tuner, though. Possibly wanting to do the clutch fan delete + V6 efan mod, which I would need a unlocked PCM & tuner to take full advantage of in order to adjust cooling fan temp.- Duuplo

Can you tune a factory pcm in a 2017 ram 1500?
An inline tuner module like Pulsar would be another option if you don't want the hassle of swapping PCMs. I bought one a couple months ago (~$600), simple in/un-install and gains are enough for a daily driver just looking for a peppier ride. Changes tire size for speedo correction, too. Can't...- Duuplo
