    Broken tailgate hinge…replacement tailgate or fix?

    Hit a big dip at the ranch and found the passenger side of my tailgate hanging off. Looks like the metal hinge (the circular metal part attached to tailgate) popped out and is tweaked. Now any little bump without my ghetto temporary remedy (pictured below) and that side of tailgate will jump off...

    Cheap SSBC 4-pot big brake kit $600

    Selling a very well used 4-piston front big brake kit off my 2008 ram 1500 4wd. These should fit any 3rd gen ram 1500, and I believe they fit earlier 4th gens as well but not certain. These brakes have over 200k miles on them (~100k on rotor rings, about 5-10k on pads) and have served me very...

    Best front brake calipers for ‘08 half ton?

    After over a quarter million miles on my SSBC “xtreme” 4-pot front brakes, have decided to go back to stock-ish brakes. Of course my factory calipers have long since been lost, so will have to buy a set of new or reman calipers & brackets to go along with pads & rotors. Who makes the “best”...

    Limited slip options?

    Been a while since I looked into this, but what are the current options for a limited slip in the 9.25 rear of a 3rd gen half ton? Have had Detroit truetrac for some time, and though it has been reliable (over 120k miles abuse), I’m not a huge fan of the way it operates. Was almost too good at...

    Truck is a 2008 ram 4.7 6spd with 420k miles.

    Lifetime powertrain warranty with discontinued parts?

    This is more a question for what’s coming up in what I expect to be the not-too-distant future…skip to last paragraph of you don’t want to read the back story. I have a 2008 ram 1500 4.7 4wd 6spd with 415k miles and the original lifetime powertrain warranty (zero deductible, no clause for...

    Truck is a 2008 ram 4.7 4wd 6-speed. Installed the brake & clutch pedal covers from an SRT10 ram back when I bought the truck new.

    Truck is an ‘08 1500 4wd 6spd with 405k miles…been getting a clunk at times in the steering wheel when turning at low speed, but the clunk feels like it’s right behind the wheel as opposed to in suspension. Also my steering wheel is now a little wobbly on the column, with some “bad wheel...

    ‘08 4.7 oil level rising

    My 2008 ram 4.7 6spd has “only” 398 k miles, and last week I noticed the dipstick was about 1” higher than full, with a smell that resembled the gas/oil mix used in weed eaters. Had about 4500 miles since last oil change, so went ahead and changed oil again. Now about 500 miles later, oil level...

    Is this a good idea? HD leaf springs with flip kit...

    Still torn about what to do with my rear suspension. 375k miles on the truck (08 4.7 qc 4wd) and current setup is original beat-to-hell leaf springs with McG 2” drop shackles. I’d really like to retain a reverse level (stock front, 2” rear drop) and the easy solution would be new replacement...

    After 350k+ hard miles on my 2008 qc 4.7 4wd 6spd, decided it was time to redo the entire front suspension. Went ahead and replaced front spindles (mopar), all control arms/tie rods/sway links & bushings/etc (moog), struts (Bilstein), and steering rack (mopar reman). Was having our ranch...
