What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
Exhaust leaks can be a major source of power drops. I've got a slight leak on the Dodge, need to tighten it a little more, but mine isn't big enough to cause any trouble.
If you were in the Ford world you would have hit the holy grail, due to their valve timing, but Dodge's don't seem to be effected as much IMO.

I ain't got one of them fancy pants vdub tools there, but even if I did...doesn't change the fact that it was still the POS clamp that caused the leak
it was not the hose, hose is only 2 months or so old...I just just replaced the bastard earlier this spring/summer...
my screw type hose clamp fixed her right up and put a stop to the leak.
nothin little old 'murika couldn't handle
and it wasn't even a new clamp I used found it in the junk drawer of my toolbox
I toss old parts/bolts/springs/gaskets/etc (that are still good) in there for when I might need them again some day...that junk drawer has bailed me out several times.

Replaced battery cable, tightened starter motor mount bolts (lower one comes loose all the time, warped starter motor AFAIK), checked all fluids, checked lights again, tightened fuel regulator bolt, tightened exhaust manifold bolt, and filled the cab
Towing beefer to the locker in the stock trailer tomorrow, lets hope no breakdowns.
Looking at the front axle and tires, left tire seemed entirely out of whack as far as camber goes, I will double check when on some flat pavement tomorrow, but it looks like something up front is bent, might explain the terrible clanking noise heard when turning sharp left with the force on the left side, i.e. uphill turning left &c. Hate to say it but it looks like the axle might be slightly bent, or could be I am losing a tierod, or maybe both, this truck DID entirely break a tierod when we first got it, before we towed with it.

Amen, same goes for everything. I do HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and remodeling... ever seen an architect's blueprint? Omg I wish I could meet half of them... so I could givem the ol' rudy tudy
Filled it with gas, going to get the rear blocks and go get the winter beater on the trailer to bring it home on the weekend.
