    Dodge  Ram 2500 Sway Bars

    Hi Everyone, I am really liking my 2020 2500 but the roll stiffness is too high for my intended use. (moderate towing, highway driving and mild exploration off pavement) I've seen front sway bars available from Carli and Thuren but I haven't seen anything for the rear. Im my mind, keeping...

    Wheeling and Exploring in MT

    Hello all, My wife and I are originally from the west (WA/ID border for me) and have been living in New England for 5 years. Both of us would like to move closer to "home" but the Coeur d'Alene area seems to have gotten crowded and expensive. This has peaked our interest in MT. We are...

    Anti Gel and Lubricity testing of common additives

    I'm not sure if you guys have seen this, but it seemed like interesting testing to me. Do you think the tests are valid? I've never heard of Hot Shot's secret, but the testing makes me want to try it: EDIT: I just realized that he didn't mix each additive in their proper ratio... he...

    Can you help me ID this alternator

    I think my 1HDT alternator is dead and I'm hoping to buy a replacement. From reading on here, I know that there is a "little" and "big" style of alternator for 1HDTs. Unfortunately, I don't know which one I have and I think it looks like the label is gone. I grabbed some pictures of the...

    Did I blow up my turbo?

    Bad news for the old cruiser today. I was driving home and I floored it to pass a garbage truck before a merge. I accelerated past without issue, then noticed a weird howling noise. I got home and tightened all my hose clamps, thinking that it might be a boost leak. That didn't fix it. Here's...

    Noise from waste gate?

    Hey guys, I recently installed a PDI intercooler, and I am loving it. I am running 22psi out of my Gturbo as well. Today, on my drive to work, there was an accident so I had to take a new route that involved back roads. I had to deal with a lot of high throttle acceleration and hard...

    Costway Fridge

    So, I am not an overlander. With a 3 year old and another on the way, I'm probably a way off from any real camping experience. But, I do have a cabin and typically take an Igloo Playmate cooler. My wife mentioned that she wanted a bigger/better cooler so we could take more food up there. So...

    I have a 1HDT converted FZJ. It is the standard 12v, having the positive battery terminals tied together. Batteries are Diehard Gold AGMs. The other day, I tried to start the engine. The engine momentarily turned over, then stopped. I cycled the key and it fired up great. This morning, I was...

    Winch Solenoid in 1HDT engine bay

    I'm finally getting around to wiring up my winch. Ideally, I'd like to have it in the engine bay and out of the salty roads out here. Looking under the hood, I'm having a hard time finding a good spot to mount it. Do any of you guys have suggestions as to where you've mounted yours...

    NOOB question. How to tighten 1HDT alternator belt

    Hey guys, I am getting some squealing from my alternator belt(s). I see this adjusting mechanism here: Do I loosen the bolt on the right then tighten the adjusting bolt to increase tension? Please forgive my noob question. I just want to do it right. Thanks,

    Dual Battery Winch Question

    I'm getting ready to hook up my winch and wanted to double check with you guys before I did anything. Looking under my hood (1hdt with dual batteries), it looks like the positive terminals of the batteries are tied together and each runs an independent ground. This makes me think that it...

    Oil on Manual Boost Controller

    So, I am running a Gturbo Grunter at 23psi. Today, I noticed that the turbo sounded a little different, so I decided to check the turbo hoses. When I looked under the hood, I found this: Do you guys think this is related to blowby because of high boost? Should I be worried? My rig is...

    Is this smoke excessive for cold start?

    Hey guys, My wife drove the Landcruiser today, which gave me a chance to look at it from the outside while it was running. I noticed that, when she started it, there was a little white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then, when she accelerated onto the road, I saw this: Is this smoke...
