    66rfe valvebody failure

    Boys and girls if you don’t believe the valvebody in the rfe has issues then let this be proof. This is from a co-workers truck that was acting fine then decided didn’t want to shift past 3rd gear. Thought at first it might have been the solenoid pack but as soon as we dropped the pan this is...

    Water pump/ radiator leak

    Not sure how but I just returned from a 2000 mile round trip from Florida and both my water pump and radiator have started leaking. Im going to be replacing both this week when the parts arrive. I think I’m going to just go ahead and do the thermostat and housing while I’m at it. I actually...

    Thuren King steering stabilizer

    Installing a new Thuren king steering stabilizer this week. From what I’ve read it should help with road wondering I feel when I get into the grooves in the road. I believe my factory one is worn out and with 35’s it should firm the steering up a bit.

    Revmax thermal bypass

    For those thinking about installing the thermal bypass on the transmission dont wait just do it. It’s an easy swap out. Takes all of about 45min to maybe an hour to do so. This is the second truck I have installed one on and I believe it is a must have for controlling the temperatures. I lost a...

    2016 wagon front end

    Well I started the last couple of weeks just doing a simple thuren spring and shock leveling kit and ended up needing to replace a whole lot more. I knew I had a bad ball joint on the passenger side that I started to replace but found a bad u-joint also. Truck felt as if it was in 4wd when you...

    Thuren 1.5in level shock question

    Just installed the Thuren front springs and shocks and need to get some clarification if possible. The instructions say to only tighten the top pin nut on the shock 3/4 turn from the moment you touch the top plate if you have the hard material bushing. 2 turns if you have the soft material...

    2500 Front Axle nut?

    What is the deal with the confusion on 4th gen 2500 front axle nut size? You cant make heads or tails on what is the correct size. It varies from 34mm up to 44mm or 1-5/8 up to 1-11/16. My god it will make your head spin with all the different sizes. How is this even possible to have so many...

    Doing the Power stop pads and rotor upgrade

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pwr-k5458-36 Just ordered the powerstop z36 tow and haul pads with vented and slotted rotors. The one thing besides the transmission in this truck I have never really cared for are the brakes. I have 161k on it now and the rotors have never been replaced that...

    6.4 hemi engine noise normal?

    https://youtu.be/Bt3DOly_7e8 Maybe its nothing to worry about but I can’t find another 6.4 with the same sound coming from the engine. It kinda sounds like a sewing machine working to me. I really can’t tell if it’s coming from the engine, exhaust or maybe even the bell housing area. Really...

    66rfe sonnax line pressure booster installed

    Like the title says I have the sonnax line pressure booster installed. Ive had it installed in for a week now and I can say I feel it does very well when the trans is under heavy load or heavy acceleration. It will firm up the shifts and feels not as soft going through the gears. You don’t...

    Ordered a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks

    I just ordered a set of front and rear bilstein 5100 shocks for my 2015 ram 2500. I figured at 155000 miles it is overdue for a set. I put a leveling kit on about a year ago and have been wanting to put these on so I can do away with the shock extension. Never really liked the idea of putting an...

    6.4 exhaust manifold project

    Getting ready to tackle the passenger side exhaust manifold. Didn’t take long to find the broken bolts. Both bolts on rear holding heat shield are broke. From what I can see so far they are at least not broke flush with the head. I plan on spraying them down with Kroil the day before I start...

    Solo performance MR400 on 6.4

    Finished installing the solo performance mr400. Ordered from gotexhaust about a week ago and came within 5 days. It sounds amazing with very little drone inside the cab. Being that my truck is a 2015 I had to cut one of the clamps off but no big deal since the new one comes with it’s own. Total...

    Trans gasket

    For you guys that have used a rubber gasket for the trans pan. Did you also use any silicone to help seal the pan? Getting ready to swap out fluid and bought a new rubber gasket and most videos I watch have people using just silicone only. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    L.E.D. Tinted cab lights

    Had some condensation in two of my cab lights from over tightening the screws so ordered new tinted ones. See how they hold up. I reused the rubber factory seal pads and screws as the new ones were made of foam. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Engine temps when cold outside?

    What coolant temp with the 6.4 is everybody running at when it’s say in the 20-30 degree mark? I’m asking because I have yet to see my temperature get above 185. This is while driving around town and driving on the freeway for an hour drive. And when it gets up to that point it stays there...

    Upgrade to 6.4

    After a long debate with myself I have finally decided to trade the 2011 ram in for a 2015 ram 2500 tradesman with the 6.4 Hemi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spark plug change

    Finally got around to changing the plugs today. Other than the fact they were almost double the gap they really look pretty good. With 218000 on a 4.7 I was expecting oil coated around them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Truck will not start! No codes?

    Well I have a 2003 with the 4.7 that just recently turned over 200,000 miles. The truck had been running great until now. When I left work today it ran normal with no problems but when I shut it off to run into a friends house for about an hour or so it would not run when I went to leave. It...

    Newbie from Ohio

    It's an 03 with the 4.7 and 4x4 with just over 200000 miles on it! Needs some minor work but runs great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
