Sold my 05 quad-cab a little over a year ago, but thought I'd stop on by and see how things were. Now tooling around in a Procharged GTO - it's a neck-snapping good time, but I do miss the 10.

- clean title - 92,xxx miles - southern truck its entire life (no rust) - overall 8/10 - $25k obo I'll post more pictures as time allows.

Call me dumb, but the '05 service manual mentions 8.75qts of oil as the "oil service quantity" and 10qts as the "engine overhaul quantity." Is this to say a recently "rebuilt" engine needs extra oil for the first few hundred or thosand miles or something? Ronnie, I'm sure you know the answer!

Here's a link to my Google Drive, where you can download the 2005 Dodge Ram service manual. It's an 8,000+ page beast, that covers all Rams from that year, including ours. Have fun, and enjoy! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wpDxk-yf8eH_cl7qIpX2WdZYEe7ilO7I/view?usp=sharing

Hey guys, I was wondering, what causes severe rust or "panel rot" on 3rd gen Rams? My truck seems to be 99% rust-free, but I've noticed others aren't so lucky and have seen many 3rd gens with rusted out wheel wells, etc. I've even heard guys claim they keep their trucks clean as a whistle and...

Hey, guys! I finally got around to reinstalling my front brakes. That said, every thread I could find on here called out the big, 18mm caliper bolts as being 130 lb-ft of torque, which seemed kinda high, but hey. The hex bolts that hold the (2) caliper halves together I couldn't find the spec...

Dude, I'm fairly certain I'm the first to even attempt removing these mothers - and they ain't giving it up! Copious amounts of WD-40 and a 250lb impact wrench did nothing. Ratchet and hammer did nothing. I didn't have much room to pull, but "The Negotiator" (5ft steel pipe) did nothing but...

Not that it really matters, but I noticed today the driver's side fender is stamped "MOPAR" along the upper lip, where as the passenger side is not. Both look about equal in their age, as does the surrounding components that connect to the fender. Can anyone pop their hood/bonnet and see if...

Hey guys! Of course within (2) months of owning the truck my driver's-side front caliper decides to lock up and nearly burst into flames - I mean, it was smoking like a Waffle House parking lot! That said, I've ordered a couple rebuild kits from JTSVP. My questions are: 1) How difficult of a...

I was watching random SRT-10 vids on YouTube, when I came across this very sad, badly beaten 2005 quad-cab. However, once I dried my tears, my jaw hit the floor - over 300k miles on the clock! Do you really think the 8.3L is that tough? Can it really soldier on for that long? Here's the link...

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...

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...

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...

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...
