    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Yup, correct - I have been using the MOS2 for a while now. I hear the ceramtec is good/better, but I've been pleased with the MOS2. Why change what works well?

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    I posted a few of my (wifes) Pentastar analysis somewhere - here it is again (and the 2nd one at 40k is the first one I have on this engine). I've not sampled it the past few changes, but it is due for an oil change this weekend and I will. The copper does seem high. Mine has consistently...

    Special Laramie GT seats

    That is a nice interior. I still think my 12 is nice, but then I see pics like these... Sorry, I'm not any help otherwise. :(

    Front diff mounts broken

    There is a small "slider" in the front driveshaft. It just needs compressed. Push the driveshaft towards the center diff. It'll compress.

    Oil Filter Thread

    Then my Ford would take the same filter as my Ram. Ooh...I hadn't ever thought of this. Putting this onto 'next parts order' from dealer list. Thanks!

    5th Gen Seats into a 4th Gen?

    This is the PWM controller I bought, FWIW. There are many on ebay that appear to be similar...but I can state this one works. :) https://www.ebay.com/itm/113381467085

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    My wife says...that's all I'm good for. Oh, that and shoveling the driveway.

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    Perhaps I bond my grounds? Or do I ground my bonds? Crap. Thats another argument. Maybe we can discuss what oil is best? Crap, that won't be better. I got it. Which tire is best?

    Interior squeak ***update*** fixed

    You can try polyethylene tape as well to put between two parts that are squeaking. I used some of this at various locations in the cab. it works well. https://www.amazon.com/WOD-Polyethylene-Transparent-Tape-Aggressive/dp/B07JF1RDWN

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    Well, I also have a 2012 Ram. Guess what...I have the same thing. It only seems to come through the front passenger door speaker. I thought it was the aftermarket radio, amp, etc - wasn't. After getting super duper shielded cables, moving them, different amp, etc, it is still there. I...

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    There are a few posts after this one (linked below) that have the analysis. It was the Castrol Edge; and the PUP is doing better than the Castrol (but the wear was fine with Castrol as well). FWIW - It was at 110k miles I switched to PUP from Castrol; I think I implied it was 100k earlier. My...

    AC shuts off when idling in traffic

    I'll bet you that the active aero grill shutters are stuck closed. If you were to physcially remove them, I'd bet your temps drop dramatically.

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    I've been running M1 0w20 and M1 filters for the first 75k miles; switched to castrol 5w30 + MOS2 with SRT filters for about the next 25k miles, and running PUP 5w30 + MOS2 with Royal Pruple filters for about the last 30k miles. Somewhere in this thread about 3 (?) years ago...Burla compared...

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Another from my Ram 1500 w/ 5.7. I forgot to do one last oil change - so the last comparables are from roughly a year ago.

    BW 44-44 to BW 44-45 Swap

    Do you have the security bypass cable for the 2018+ trucks? I think it was 2018 when that was implemented on the Ram.

    5th Gen Seats into a 4th Gen?

    I assume the same HSM is in the '13+ trucks as was the '09-'12 trucks.... I added pictures to my prior post. Basically, the outputs of the 4th gen HSM are ~+10vdc (low) and ~+12vdc (high). Take those outputs to the input of a PWM controller. On the 5th gen fans, cut the wire to the fan...

    5th Gen Seats into a 4th Gen?

    So, I got the cooled seats working. I used a PWM controller to make it work. The output from the 4th gen HSM goes to the PWM controller, and the output of the PWM controller goes to the 5th gen fans. I had to wire the fans directly to the PWM controller - since in the 5th gen, the fans have...

    AC shuts off when idling in traffic

    Does your truck have the aero grille? The one with the flaps that close at highway speeds? If so, any chance they are 'stuck' closed? If your efan is working, that's the next thing I'd check.

    I swapped Corsa for Borla Touring now that I have LT's, here is my take.

    I put a Borla resonator on my truck (I'm running the 24-in magnaflow), but had drone at the same RPM. The resonator really knocked down, but not eliminated, the drone. I'd say it's probably 70-80% reduced. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bor-401343

    8 speed swap

    The anticipation of your swap is awesome! I know you've talked about wanting to do it for a while, and now to see the pieces coming together...I'm excited for you!

    8 speed swap

    I wrapped the cooler lines over the top of the transmission, going reward (as you see in the pic) and then on the other side brought them to the front, and used heat insulating fiberglass. I'll grab a pic this evening on the other side for you.

    8 speed swap

    I never installed the neutral bracket. Never felt the need, honestly. I actually used the location to install the transmission cooler thermostat. I think you'll be plenty fine without it if your new transmission doesn't come with it.

    8 speed swap

    I have a 2019 1320 stock file - if your email is still the same as it was last year....the file is in your email now. Otherwise, shoot me a PM with your new email and I'll send it your way.
