    Rear End Shudder - LSD Lockup?

    Hey guys, in a previous post I had mentioned a stutter/shudder at low speeds (0-15MPH.) I've heard U-joints or the 2-piece driveshaft's "carrier bearing" as being possible causes. However, before I go disconnecting the driveshaft or any other heavy-handed task, I thought I'd see what you all...

    Just got her home! Couple quick questions...

    Hey guys, I think I may know what's causing the shudder at low speed (0-15mph) - the U-joints and carrier bearing for the driveshaft! My mechanic thinks the pinion angle may be off from the lowering kit, which accelerated the wear of these two items. Any thoughts on that?

    Aftermarket Radio - Factory Amps?

    Are there any wiring harnesses that will allow the use of an aftermarket radio with the factory Infinity amps? If not, what radio came in these trucks originally? I'm currently undoing a rather poor installation of some crappy Kicker amp and BS Kenwood head-unit (the dude straight up used...

    Buy? Yes? No?

    Ronnie, I hear you're legendary around these parts. Ya know what? That might actually be what it's doing; "hunting" gears that is. I took it out a few hours ago and it did seem to act better if I gave it more throttle from a dead stop - I'm guessing these engines don't like to lug, nor do these...

    So, I just got my 2005 quad cab home. On the 225 mile journey, I noticed a couple of things - 1) The coolant temp fluctuated between 195 and 205 and would rise to 210-215 after shutting the engine off. 2) The transmission stutters a little at low speed / from a dead stop (does okay...

    Buy? Yes? No?

    Hey guys (and gals!) I'm fresh out of a 2012 Hemi RAM and looking into quad-cab SRT's. I've found a 2005 with 95,000 miles at a good price. My question is, provided maintenance was upkept, would you guys be scared of a truck with those kind of miles? I know for a lot of engines, 95k is no...
