I have read several threads on removal of the Silencer Ring from the turbo intake. But this seems to be making it sound louder when ramping up for the drivers interest. If you remove the ring, will this increase:* the air intake volume ? * add more HP ? * increase MPG ? * anything besides increasing noise ?Has anyone ever try this and documented what changes happen ? Or is it only to increase the sound of the turbo ramping up ?

Are these filters just the plastic screen or are they a paper type? Reason I ask is I am doing the first trans oil change and always thought it a waste of time changing the plastic filter (screen) type.

Soon I'll be looking for new brake linings for my truck and wondered if anyone here have tried ceramic brake pads and shoes on their truck. Seeing we can pull one heck of a lot of weight, I'd like to know your opinion. I have installed these on my wife truck, but it's a 1/2 ton an she uses it more like a car with one heck of a big trunk for her shopping trips. The seem to brake better than stock, and last one heck of a lot longer. But what will they do on the Ram HD's with a large load ?

A friend called me today and said he knows of a 2003 Ram for sale pretty reasonable...he wanted to know what the issues are with this year truck. I said I have no idea but I know a bunch of guys that will...so anyone wanna shoot me some opinions and issues they have so I can try to help him out? It's Cummins too btw. He's a Chev man so it'd be a hoot to see him driving that thing..I'd never let him live it down

Do the common rails have the needle roller bearing's on the pilot shaft? I am looking to get a 04 or a 05 and just thinking what I need to replace. A truck with 130k will need a fresh clutch if anything like my 01 was.

I have been toying with the idea of dropping the front of my truck for a while now. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 1" spacer from Top Gun Customz this morning. I'll probably install it in the next few weeks when I do a diff/trans/xcase fluid change. I like the 2" level for 2 big reasons, oil pan clearance and a lower tailgate lip. I don't like the 2" when loaded because it takes more air in the bags that I need to keep the level stance, 15 psi this past weekend was barely enough and I had maybe 1200 lbs of cargo/tongue weight, where if the front were 1" lower I could get by with 5-10 psi in the bags. I also don't like how the front axle is off center, and don'…

I have already read the 2-3 injector threads posted in here in the past week or so and I think I am screwed.Let me back up a few steps... in the past 2-3 weeks, the truck (2004 QCLB stickshift) has been idling rough right as it starts up. Rough enough that it shakes the truck back & forth. for a while, this would last until the truck got warm. No smoke, no hard-start, just that rough idle.Then I took a 1000-mi highway round trip. After I arrived at the destination (500+mi), it was idling rough even after it warmed up. In fact, the warmer it got, the more it began to CLACKCLACKCLACK as I started the truck rolling. It would just clack until the truck started roll…

I just received an 05 2500 and it has some strange issues, where to start.:banghead:If you step on the throttle in neutral it acts like a sticky cable but we know there is no cable.Throwing codes P0572, P0628, P2509, and P0533. A/C works intermittently, cruise light comes on but speed will not set, seems to smoke a little more than the other one I have.Thanks for any ideas,Dale

I was wondering if anyone knows the best available fuel filter to use. I sound like to avoid installing a fass system and just use the stock system. Let me know your opinions or suggestions. I don't think the car quest filters I've been using are cutting it.
