Be careful mix matching thuren and carli. The shocks are valved specifically to their coils. Thuren goes and extra step in allowing you t9 further customize based on your needs. So stick to same company shocks and coils. Long arms are supposed to be the cats meow but the 3"Carli long arms have...

I have the smittybuilt and am pleased with it thus far. A day around Moab with 2 air ups. Probably 10 to 15 minutes to air all 4 35's from 28 ish psi to about 48. My needs aren't super demanding so for me the smittybuilt is great. It does seem to take longer to fill the 4th tire then the 1st...

It's that much because they don't just replace the injection pump. If in the case of a no start or suspect contamination the volume control valve on top of the pump is removed and inspected. If metal, def or any debris is found then you need. Lift pump module, injection pump, injectors, driver...

37's look great. Really want to put some on my 04 2500 but for me I would want to regear and many other things to make it all work well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

So much to like with your truck! Are those 37's on there? If so, what do you do with your full size spare? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

t.Sparks, OK that's awesome. It was the synergy kit I was referring to. Thanks for clarifying your wobble stop solution, sounds like you found a solid answer to your steering looseness. Excited to see your build progress. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

I'm not an expert on steering stuff, but you may want to fine tune your wobble stoppers. You do want some deflection in your tie rod while turning or it may bind. Assuming those wobble stoppers are large enough to clear the tie rod stud you may have excess force on the tre bushings leading to...

Oh I am jealous. Larger shocks have been on my wish list for some time now. I like my thuren valves 2.0's but some thing that could be a little more supple without getting too hot or blowing through the travel would be great. Sure the 2.5's are great but will you ever wish for 3.0's???? That's...

D45, while I acknowledge you went through such a terrible experience and have heard of similar stories from others. I have never seen it happen in person. All these unit bearing trucks can have issues and I've seen some really bad ones I've never had a total failure. My truck has had 37's ( mall...

Dor also has more then a few complaints when it comes to lead times, communication and assembly error on his part that has given people grief. Worth doing a search on the subject and making a decision after that. You may be able to use some of Thuren fabrication's 2" soft ride coils. While yes...

Spare tire under bed swinging a little bit? Sway bar mounts or end links, trackbar joints and steering parts cause the most noises and odd feelings. I'll ask if the truck was running during your loose parts check. I've found for me that truck not running, brakes applied and fast side to side...

I have 35x12.5 r17 on my 04 ram 2500 diesel. I also have a 3" lift kit and would love to run 37's but the list to "do it right" is a lot. The 35's work very well for what I do which is mostly pavement and some Colorado trails which can be rocky and narrow for my full size. You may be surprised...

I'll be sort of referencing your blog here. Depending on your setting your smarty can be somewhat of a culprit. When I take to the mountain grades, especially steep dirt roads I've found it best to go into 4 lo. The gear reduction helps as a mechanical advantage when climbing with less throttle...

I have a suncoast rebuild kit in my 04 Dodge Ram. Their triple disc converter, red clutches (eagle I think), valve body, and think it's a tcs billet input shaft. I have found that my truck with this transmission is sensitive to tv cable adjustments ( my trans does not have the motor on the side...

I would wonder if injectors have been replaced ever, and if the transmission has ever been rebuilt or replaced. I have not seen many cummins engines make it to a million miles, closest has been 900k+. The ones that seem to get that mileage are long haul tow vehicles ( ie rv trailer transports...

Haha, always love these articles. Doesn't actually address all problems. Injectors, ficm, turbo actuators/turbos themselves etc. Not all people can delete egr's so you can still have valve issues. Personally I like these engines though, they help pay my bills ��.

whew what a read. Really like your set up overall. The shell lights are nice, just the right amount of brightness. I will say that you've done some excellent mods to help your engine, but in my experience (with few exceptions); 6.0's aren't fully bulletproof. I forget if you did the pop ( high...

Sometimes things happen. If your ever had to remove the camshaft (think inner timing cover gasket) then your now faced with removing the motor to get pushrods out or removing everything on the driver side of the motor in order access the tappets to hold them up off of the cam. I only mentioned...

Nice looking project. Not sure what motor mounts your using ( hopefully something based off the factory cummins/dodge from 2nd or 3rd gen trucks) but may I suggest making sure you can get your pushrods out of the motor in the truck. Some conversions have the motor back and somewhat high and make...

Nice rig. If you're going for a full on bed cage then shock placement on the axle probably won't be your limiting factor. I'm assuming your atlas springs have enough travel to warrant some big bad bypass shocks correct? Lots of ideas out there for tire carriers. Found lots of different ones for...
