    Banks derringer +1.8

    I've never heard of a dealer willing to drop a tune in and do an emissions delete for someone. I think you should buy them some pizzas! I'd love an update after it's all done.

    Driver's side engine foam removal: Help needed.

    That looks like the fancy henn clip. Interesting that your pipe looks different from mine (I have a 2018).

    Driver's side engine foam removal: Help needed.

    where did you loosen the hose from? From the hose clamps, or that fancy Henn fitting? I hesitated trying to remove the intercooler pipe from the hose clamp as it looks like it would be almost impossible to slip it back into that stiff rubber sleeve.

    Driver's side engine foam removal: Help needed.

    I had some time over the weekend to sneak under the hood of my truck to finally take care of removing the insulating foam pads. As others mentioned before, the passenger side was a breeze and only took a few minutes to do. The driver's side however, seems to have some sort of magical grip on...

    Timber Grove enterprises

    This shot is with the bags fully inflated while checking for any air leaks. This kit that I purchased is made specifically for the BDS suspension system that I already had on my truck.

    Timber Grove enterprises

    I have Timber Grove bags under my truck. Installation was relatively simple, 100% bolt on. Quality of brackets and bags are really good, and the customer support is outstanding. The bags really help when towing and when carrying heavy loads in the bed. I've stuffed a weeks worth of camping...

    Thanks for the reminder. I need to go ahead and do just that!

    So close then had the door closed on my fingers

    At this point in the game, it may be wise to hold on to your stock ECM for trips back to the dealership. Having a tuned get overwritten by a tech who disregards a request not to do any updates would be catastrophic in that your tune would be lost for good.

    Airbags for towing

    Echoing the recommendation for Timber Grove air bags. The install was 100% bolt on and I was able to complete the installation in my driveway. The owner of Timber Grove is very responsive through e-mail and was able to give me feedback on questions I had very quickly. The bracketry and bags...

    Caught fire driving down the road. Guess i am not the only one.

    I agree. A quick google search led me to this: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2014-15-ram-1500-ecodiesel-recalled-for-stalling-and-fire-risk.html There was a recall for early ecodiesels because of fire risk - had something to do with the battery harness shorting out.

    35×12.50x20LT grapplers

    33"s and a nice leveling kit make the truck very well proportioned. When contemplating a small lift and tires, I highly considered Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts for the front, a set of ICON upper control arms, Bilsteins shocks in the rear, and ICON coils in the back. This would net about...

    Ram lift kits?

    Great looking truck! Those Fuel Hardlines are really nice, and would have been my choice if I went aftermarket (I mounted my 35's on OE Laramie wheels). How's the ride on the coilovers up front? I have a 6" BDS lift on my Ram but went with Bilstein 5100s instead of dropping the coin for the...

    My 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel caught on fire

    Can anyone explain to me how it would damage wiring and connectors that lay under the foam? I'm not disagreeing, just wanting to learn. Is there a significant increase in how loud the truck is without the foam?

    My 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel caught on fire

    @TC Diesel I was under the hood of my truck and was wondering about that foam insulation.... Is this what is catching on fire on some ecodiesels?

    Hypothetical modification question

    I found the GDE tune itself made the truck "louder" - not substantially so, but it is definitely noticeable.
