    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    Finally got around to changing them this week at 103K miles. The spark plug tool mentioned worked great for all but two plugs. No way to get it to fit the two right near the brake booster. I had to put a spark plug socket in the hole, then attach a short extension, then a swivel adapter, and...

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    The instructions on Iridium plugs specifically say not to gap them because they are pre-gapped and the iridium center anode is much more fragile than standard. I’ve never heard of Rock Auto. I generally don’t buy from places I’ve never heard of because there are so many fake online “stores”...

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    I’m sticking with Iridium. My truck is a 2019 and has 102k on it. All the best, Glenn

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    The fender liners won’t give me any better access. It’s the brake booster that gets in the way. The fender liners are below the level of the plugs, so it won’t give me better access.

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    Will do. I’ll try filming the back 4 if I figure something out better than I’ve seen on YouTube. Even with the special tools, I think these are going to suck to change…

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    Awesome. Thanks everyone. Just purchased it. I also got a 100 position, swivel head ratchet today too. That should help as well. All the best, Glenn

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    Yeah, that’s the one I found. It’s different, but fairly close. I was hoping for some tricks / tips for the back 4 on the drivers side, but these vids don’t offer much I didn’t already know. Thanks. All the best, Glenn

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    Those are the ones I was looking at buying from Autozone.

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    I did a search, hoping I’d come across something, but nothing really answered my questions. Saw a couple of “PITA” references to changing the back 4 on the drivers side by the brake booster, and that’s my main concern. So hoping someone has experience with doing this. Mine is not the hybrid...

    Thinking of getting a tonneau cover….

    Just purchased the MX4 from Amber @ Realtruck. Thanks for the replies! All the best, Glenn

    Thinking of getting a tonneau cover….

    I did find a better comparison here. Leaning harder towards the MX4 https://realtruck.com/blog/bakflip-g2-vs-mx4-folding-tonneau-cover-comparison/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwr6wBhBcEiwAfMEQs49uqDxjX1NR8YnUVPrRLpO29moyEKkcfsxYGlOjiS23O82a4aWJIxoCQZsQAvD_BwE

    Thinking of getting a tonneau cover….

    I want a tonneau cover, and I’m narrowing down my choices. I have a 2019 1500 Laramie 4x4 with the 5’7” bed, not Rambox. I have dual Swingcase boxes installed, and that narrows down my choices as well, as some don’t work with those. When I launch my boat, I usually go from the side steps to...

    Ram 1500 active grill shutter issues

    Thanks! How long is the extended warranty on the AAD? I’m pushing 89K right now. My extended warranty on the drivetrain expires at 100k, but the AAD probably isn’t part of that. All the best, Glenn

    Removing auto air dam and codes.

    Does removing the AAD have any negative effects on the truck (handling, gas mileage, etc...)? All the best, Glenn

    Ram 1500 active grill shutter issues

    Having the issue with the AGS on my 2019 Laramie. Thanks to this post, I'm trying the "unplug the AAD" route. I just disconnected the battery and will let it sit to reset the codes, and then I'll reconnect and take it for a drive. Out of curiosity - if it is the AAD, what does deleting it...

    Oil Cooler failed (leaked)

    Dealership technician didn't know there was a dipstick either. In fact, they still claim there is none, and that I'm mistaken (even though I just verified it does exist). I can't bash him too hard, because I didn't even know about it either, until you all told me about it. Wait... Yes I can...

    Oil Cooler failed (leaked)

    I didn't even realize there was a "dipstick" until you posted that. Thanks! Just went check it, and mine does have the dipstick - and it's dry. So it's not registering anything in the tank. I've contacted the dealership about it. Waiting to hear back from them, since nobody in the service...

    Oil Cooler failed (leaked)

    So this morning, I wanted to check all the fluids myself, to ensure I didn't see any contamination. Oil was clean. And clear. I mean, really clear. Not used to oil being super clear like that. I was expecting a light amber color... but it's at the level required - and it was installed by...

    Oil Cooler failed (leaked)

    They eventually saw it that way as well. I had to push back twice, but the bill came down to just the $100 deductible, plus my transfer case service bill, which I already knew the price. So it all worked out. Hopefully, this is the last of my issues with this truck. Never had that fail on a...
