Many improvements have been made to the Steering System of Dodge Ram trucks. From the factory the steering of these trucks quickly deteriorates and drivers often feel a gradual loss of responsiveness and overall control. The tie rod system is a crucial part of your vehicles steering system as it transmits force from the steering center link to the steering knuckle forcing the wheels to turn. The tie rods are responsible for turning the wheels at the same rate and in the same plane as each other. Without properly functioning tie rods, the front tires would turn at different rates and in highly worn cases in different directions. In 2003 to 2009 years, Dodge incorporated a tie rod system that is commonly referred to as Y Linkage. The design of this linkage allowed for the front tires to toe in and toe out independently as the suspension is compressed and relaxed. This causes the driver to feel slop, wander, bump steer and in some cases the infamous Death Wobble as a result of! This d...

Dodge Ram trucks, specifically the diesel versions, are known for poor steering handling. Often owners of new trucks are pleased, however over time the heavier diesel engine (when compared to the gasoline engine) contributes to greater wear on front end components. This creates a sloppy, unresponsive feel that virtually every owner experiences. Source Automotive and Solid Steel Industries were the first to design a solution to a large contributor to the wandering problem. This innovative thinking generated the first Dodge Steering Stabilizer . The Dodge Steering Stabilizer provides additional support to the frame and steering box where the factory design falls short. This stabilizer firms up the flex in the frame rails that is felt when driving. This flex is made worse by the heavier diesel engine and often by over sized tires and lifted suspensions. Frame flex contributes to a mushy, sloppy feel as the truck drives down the road. The second location that the Stabilizer supports is t...

Modern diesel engines require compressed air to operate most efficiently. This compressed air is created by the use of a turbocharger. Turbochargers have been utilized in many applications because of their reliability, efficiency and ease of use. By design, a turbocharger or “turbo” uses the air flowing out of the exhaust to rotate a turbine wheel. That turbine wheel is attached to a compressor wheel via a shaft. The compressor wheel pressurizes the air and thus increases the density of the intake charge. This increase in pressure forces more oxygen rich air into the cylinder and provides the engine the ability to burn more fuel as the engine RPM increases. As the engine RPM increases, so does the RPM of the turbo. In fact, turbos used on dodge diesel trucks can have an RPM of up to 125,000! This design is different from that of a “supercharger” which is mechanically driven from the engine, often from a belt that is connected to the vehicles crankshaft. This process is often referred...

Source Automotive has redesigned and greatly improved the factory track bar for Dodge Ram Trucks. Track bars are bars that are attached to the frame on the driver side and extend to the axle on the passenger side of the truck. They are designed to keep the front axle centered underneath the truck and prevent the axle from shifting back and forth from the driver side to the passenger side. Just imagine the front axle shifting while driving at highway speeds towing a trailer! The track bar can make a significant difference in the handling of the vehicle. From the factory the 1994 to 2002 model year Rams came with a track bar that incorporated a tie rod end on the frame side. When the factory designed tie rod end wears out, the only solution available is to replace the entire track bar. Source Automotive and Solid Steel Industries have designed a high quality eyelet end which utilizes graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings that replace the tie rod end. In order to make this functio...

People invest in automobiles to experience liberty. Nobody wants to be tied up to a lamp post for their whole life. It is the most natural human tendency to be free, to challenge speed, to ride against the wind. Some of the fun living loving persons do not even restrict themselves to the man built roads. They exceed their perimeter and drive away to the horizon whether there is road is or not. It does not matter how far you can go under limits, it only matters how far you travel beyond limits. There are so many unexplored corners of the world waiting to be discovered by enthusiastic people like you.
