As others have said, buy the proper tools. It will make life easier and save you money in the long run. You will end up rounding off your oil pan bolt if you keep doing it the way you're doing it. The hardest part about the oil change is indeed the oil filter removal. I personally found coming in from the front of the truck and placing my filter wrench on it is the easiest way (not that easy but better than coming in from the side and behind the engine) to take the filter off. And the truck takes 7 qts. of 0w-20 oil. However thanks for taking time to film your oil change. I'm sure it will help some folks.
Is that a standard issue oil remover contraption? Lol that’s a very good idea. I’ve had one lying around for years now I know what to use it for. Thanks
Ok, I have a REALLY dumb question & hoping you will answer me. I pulled up your video to see what it looked like under the hood of your 2022 RAM 1500. I'm not mechanical (as in I never look under the hood) & today while detailing my 2022 RAM 1500 decided to wipe the dirt & dust of some of the plastic engine parts. So, I opened my hood for the first time & there is no large plastic cowling covering the front part of the engine, (like the one I had in my Jeep Wrangler). So, I instantly thought someplace where I got an oil change may have removed it & forgot to put it back on. My engine looks EXACTLY like yours in the beginning where you show the blue funnel. I have the little black plastic cowling in the rear of the engine, but was expecting the ENTIRE front of the engine to be covered with one. Did yours have a large front plastic engine cover & you just removed it? Again, my engine looks exactly like I see in your segment where you first show the blue funnel. I hope you can answer this for me, Thanks so much !!!
My Engine has all the plastic heat deflect shields as it comes stock. Some trucks come stock with fancy plastic Engine heat deflection shields which block heat and you can actually lean on the hood and it's not hot. I wouldn't worry about that tho as long as everything and all your Engine components are there.
You have to prep the wheels Degrease them well. Wipe them down and make sure they’re super clean and super dry I’ve got black dipped rims for 12yrs now. I like this color. I’ll add a base of black then coat with this color
They where washed and cleaned then used the cleaning solution that was provided from manufacturer. If that didn't make a difference then I would just stick to Plasti dip for now on ! Hyper dip doesn't seem very durable.
I would be curious after seeing two videos showing how the internal crank pressure is increased, how much it increases. I think if the hoses are larger than the original and minimal obstruction it may not increase the pressure.
2:40 oof you took the grill out . There is a great video showing how to remove the light house without removing the grill . Looks sharp 👌 thanks for the video
Just wanted to thank you for you video. It was so much easier to follow what you did than trying to figure the instructions that kept adding extra steps. I programmed both my new fobs in under 5 minutes.
My 4x4 is a little different - the filter is tucked up by the power steering... I put 6 and a half quarts of penzoil platinum 5-30... this was my first change on this truck... good enough - had my neighbor helping out... thanks, neighbors : )
Been reading alot on the Forums and alot of comments on the 0w-40 for a very compatible oil. A 0w-40 and a 0w-20 are the same things at extremely low temperature. Both are SAE rated to crank at -35°C and pump at -40°C. At high temperature the 40 does not thin out as much as the 20, which can provide a thicker minimum oil film thickness and greater film strength, preventing wear.
So for some reason my original key slowly stopped working and I was trying to use this simple key kit to replace it but it won't work because I need my original key to work correct?
Question? I suspect my ignition switch is defective and want to replace it with one I will buy from ebay, will I be able to program the new key with this device or do I have to take to dealer ? I don't want to buy a new ignition switch from dealer because they want like 1000.00 for it and I am not 100% sure this is the cause of the problem.
