    Proactive brake replacement at 50k? How long did your brakes last?

    My truck has almost 48K miles. So far my brakes are fine, I did add some brake fluid about a month ago, and I noted some softness and extra travel vs when I got the truck (Nused). The fluid remains clear and the small amount of brake fluid I added firmed up the brake pedal to where I prefer...

    Sun Visor broken

    All, My part from Amazon for some reason is no longer available, per the Amazon site. But in the last several months, the parts work well with the better screws I purchased from Lowes. So currently my part is not a valid part to purchase, if it comes back I would highly recommend provided you...

    Who makes the best rear under-seat storage?

    I bought my crew cab Nused last year, it has factory Underseat storage. It works great, it does not lock but I do not use it for anything other than equipment used for hauling items in the bed such as tiedown straps, cargo net, and bungee cords—these items that are not high theft targets, and...

    Any recommendations on floor covers that actually cover all the way in the back toward the cab? truly custom covers that cover all the carpet?

    I have the factory rubber floor mats front and back. My truck has the rear underseat storage option. They have ridges on the outside perimeters and do a great job at containing junk and minor amounts of liquids. These rear mats do not cover all the way to the rear wall as you asked, they are...

    2019 Ram 1500 5.7L Oil Pan Removal

    Wow, gone are the days of just unbolting the pan, getting a new gasket, making sure the old gasket is fully removed, using some gasket sealant putting the new gasket on the pan, bolting up the pan, and torquing the bolts to spec. Just WOW. Well above my tools, and skill level. BlueHemi1500

    2023 Ram Rebel GT 5.7 loses power for no reason while driving...anyone else?

    Maybe spark problems or fuel flow problems are the 2 big things that jump out. Granted there is a mountain of potential in the 2 main topics. I'm sure that if the truck were to visit the repair shop it would return with the dreaded "unable to duplicate," please remit 1 arm, and 1 leg for the...

    Bedliner indentations

    The horizontal indents are to help in building, a flat floor over the rear wheel wells. Then you have additional space that increases the width of your materials from the 48 inches between the wheel wells, and or build a second level deck to have 2 levels of storage. These can be very useful...

    Does anyone know what these bed brackets are for?

    Thank you for your response, now to get approval from the finance department, the hardest step of all as always, is getting the credit approval. :) I saved the link in a tab so, that I can order the parts immediately upon authorization. IHMO everybody should have this rack on their truck...

    Does anyone know what these bed brackets are for?

    I have a factory rack. How do you install the new sliders in the rack? I am very interested in obtaining these as I use my rack frequently for tie-downs and have wished for more frequently, these are very handy. Thanks in advance for the advice/help. :) BlueHemi1500

    275.55.20 vs 275.60.20

    Thanks all for the responses. I will very shortly need new tires so just making sure I can get the 275/60/R20 set of tires without a whole lot of mechanical work/effort. I know that I will have to make a tire size adjustment and I am prepared for that effort. I will make sure I am well versed...

    2019 brake fluid change 56k miles

    Brake fluid should be slightly light yellow opaque, but not the dark color you collected. MY Nuesd 2020, I noted the last week or so my brakes felt a little soft. I got a fresh sealed bottle of DOT3 brake fluid and topped up the reservoir and now the brakes feel so much better. The reservoir...

    Dash Lighting Brightness - Far too dim

    Could your truck have been shorted the parts due to the parts shortage associated with the Pandemic, it may have been noted on the window sticker that the parts were deleted with a credit. Just a WAG. BlueHemi1500

    275.55.20 vs 275.60.20

    Thank you for the answer. I have a Laramie and not very fancy at that. AKA just springs with the 20-inch wheels. BlueHemi1500

    275.55.20 vs 275.60.20

    Do you have any rubbing with the slightly bigger tire? I currently have the 275/55/R20 factory tires, terrible in the rain. I am looking to move to 275/60/R20 on my factory rims. I am trying to go slightly bigger for pothole/curb protection. I am aware of the calibration issue. I have...

    Parking

    Several great ideas were presented. The best Idea/solution is to find an empty parking lot with lots of space, perhaps after business hours. Practice using your mirrors as there is the potential the camera(s) will/can fail. Practice in daylight and progressive darkness. Your external mirrors...
