Feel free to PM me "is this still available?" so that I can respond "yes" and then we can never ever talk again after that. You know, like on Facebook Marketplace.

SOLD 6/25/24 I designed and fabricated this bed cover for my truck (2021 Ram 2500) because I couldn't find anything like it for sale commercially. It is for the 6.4ft standard bed. It is plate aluminum over a welded steel skeleton and it can carry several hundreds of pounds on it - probably...

Yes Oh, good call! I'll have to drive a couple counties away to find a hill tho :D

I couldn't tell you. We've only had it for 5k miles, I rarely drive it, and my wife is not exactly a reliable witness when it comes to this stuff. I can tell you that the only codes it has are Evap codes (P0456, P0440, P0443) and I just replaced the purge valve (it was also ticking) and it...

That's why I posted it in off topic. Didn't make sense to go seek out a durango-specific forum and create an account just to ask one question when odds are good that someone here knows the answer.

I think I am approaching this from the wrong end. Instead of replacing injectors to rule them out I should try to rule out lifter tick. I will try flushing the engine and running some of that lifter additive. If the sound changes at all then I'm probably barking up the right tree and it's a...

Wife's 2015 Durango with 105k miles is making a ticking/tapping noise. I thought it was lifters so I brought it back to the used car dealership (bought it a few months ago right at 100k miles) and when I came back to pick it up they said it was the injectors, which I called b.s. They said they...

Interesting. I will have to educate myself about this. I remember something about cabin noise cancelation but I assumed this was something to do with the speakers. I never would have guessed there's some strange counter-wiggle jigglebox mounted on the truck somewhere.

2021 6.4 hemi, I've had it a few weeks now. When I drive without the radio on I find myself at many points of my drive thinking there is someone hiding in my blind spot. When I try, I can't totally put a finger on what is fooling my senses, but I think I am getting a hint every once in a while...

Sorry I vanished in the middle of the saga, life happened, this project went on hiatus several times, but I just finished it. The 200lb lift struts I originally used proved insufficient once the aluminum was installed and I had to modify the strut geometry and upgrade to 300lb lift struts...

I want a bed liner, I suppose what would normally be a spray-in compound, but something I can roll-on with a paint roller. It's for a bed cover I'm making and I would like it to match the truck paint color as close as possible. Anything like that exist? I've found color match bed liner but it...

Yeah that's pretty much my feel for it too. The bed cover itself shouldn't be a problem. But before loading a bunch of weight on it I'll want to investigate my options for supporting it from the frame under the bed.

You're probably right, but I'm not sure we (I) should read that much into their rating. After all, manufacturers of supercharger/turbo kits advertise their horsepower gains without any mention of the upgrades you'll most likely need to make to the drivetrain in order to handle the extra power...

Thanks. That would be about 30lbs

Thanks! You might have a different opinion if I provided closeups of my welds, which I won't be doing. And payloads are more like suggestions than rules, or so I heard. Hey, I like that idea. I was thinking the aluminum is going to get scratched and ill have to just practice the art of not...
