    Would like a higher PSI for my engine oil, options?

    I'm hoping to see if there are a few options or course of action I can take.

    A new engine it is! LOL

    Long story short, original engine (5.7) with 165K mils on it started developing the inevitable "tick" and it didn't go away after replacing the exhaust bolts... So drove it for a bit and as I was preshing on the gas one morning it started shuttering and sputtering and code came up with CEL. Had...

    Vehicle speed sensor going bad?

    It appears the speedometer on my 14’ Ram 1500 2wd with a 5.7 Hemi automatic has a mind of its own. This only happened recently almost every single time I’m on city streets or freeway, and only the speedometer drops for a split second (thus far the RPM gauge reads properly and never drops) and a...

    Hit the brakes!

    This being my 3rd Ram and experiencing brake fatigue on my trucks (especially when towing in certain mountain ranges here in California) I decided to go with the Powerstop rotors and extreme pads. I've had this same setup on all of my Rams and I gotta say I really like them. One note that I...
