@Brokedownbutgood I know it's not the proper way to do it but it was a judgment call I made and I stated that. But I appreciate your feedback and the statement for others that will do brake Services
Yeah the existing pads had just as much material as the new ones and the rotors were like new with a year of driving. I'm light on the brakes and live in mostly flat region.
Install caliper once again, fully tighten the two 13mm bolts and make sure that the 18mm nuts are turned back as well insuring everything is tight.
Reinstall tire, lower, torque.
Follow ebc's driving recommendations for brake in instructions.
I opted not to have my rotors milled because of my...
30k on the factory oem pads but according to Ram's service and maintenance intervals on the app at 30k it's due for front brake pads, I figured it was time for an upgrade anyways. When I've got any significant payload or a trailer in tow I can tell more in the braking performance than any other...
I do agree the install would be much easier with the hs kit but it's just a straight stacked plate air cooler, also no fan?
The thermostatic valve on the dj kit is what makes it the most properly functioning cooler available. Not to mention the available hd upgrade.
So fan, thermostatic valve...
Elm327 Bluetooth adapter for $20 and torque app on android. Cheapest and extremely effective plug and play and a great place to start if you feel you need a full blown adapter.
I Used to run a 7" galaxy tablet in mine for it but it's not necessary for me really though I check things occasionally
The
The system that dj built is thermostatically controlled so it only opens at 180° and still runs at only 10% open before that to promote flow but still helps warm the oil to correct temp
Yeah but they only last about a year and a half here, between using them and moisture it's just a solid steel wire inside they end up breaking at the common twist points. But i'll agree aside from longevity that those gear ties are very nice
On factory Goodyear sr-a's 3/32nd's of wear granted me almost 20k highway miles though on this tire I'm sure it would be a little faster even with a lesser revolution of a larger tire. That extra usable tread on the Stt pro isn't likely to go to waste on mileage and longevity. I think for this...
A can't decide between taking a 50K mile rated all year AT tire with milder tread but exceptional winter performance. Or going to a highway mannered very aggressive MT tire with cold weather capabilities. I'm going to a 10 ply 34 that has already been decided so measurements will be according...
Even with Geno's solid brass drain plug draining the housing is still not perfect. The housing was still vapor locked and half full of fuel after draining when I opened the housing to replace the filter
Do not purchase champion syngold from Auto anything. It is not the European low saps formula that meets Chrysler spec though it shares the same bottle and weight. Auto anything sells champion oils part number 4431. 4436 is spec for the truck
I was borderline between severe service and regular maintenance so I opted to do the fluid change on my 3.55 limited slip at about 29k and 1 year old.
Ram differentials do have drain plugs which is very helpful! Located to the passenger side behind the casting for the fill and cover. But it...
