Ride is rougher than stock, but not bad at all. I have the rears at 40PSI and the fronts at 45.

Had a Carven muffler installed but unfortunately the black exhaust tips didn't fit. I spoke with Carven and they are aware of an issue with some of the 19-20 tips that went out. They are sending a new replacement set. I didn't buy the exhaust from them I got it through American Trucks. I have been trying to reach American Trucks all week and no luck by phone or email. Carven tech support has been awesome. BTW the truck sounds INSANE! I left the resonators, just closed the weep holes in them. I'm not sure how to upload a video or I would.

Which Carven did you get? I watched a bunch of videos before installing the Competitor model, and they all sounded very aggressive. I was actually worried that it might end up being a bit too loud. But after getting mine on, I will say that revving when parked sounds great, but while driving it is a little underwhelming. It doesn't have the same rumble of my previous trucks. I am very seriously considering switching to a Borla full exhaust.
If you have a youtube video of yours, I would love to see it.

I believe the only one available for the 5th gen is the competitor model. I must be getting old because it's perfect for me. I'm working on a video.

Finally got my exhaust done. Replaced the factory muffler with a Borla 40353 and removed the rear resonators. Sounds great! I'll post a cold start vid tomorrow.
Mine is sitting on the floor in the truck right now, just trying to get someone with time to install it. Let me/us know how it does with MDS, concerns of drone without the rear resonators. If you can, get a couple of revs in on the vid.

I don't use MDS (always use the gear +/- buttons to set max gear to 8 as soon as I put it in drive), so the MDS drone wasn't/isn't a worry for me. Just on the short drive home from the shop yesterday, it was nearly stock quiet cruising at 45-50 mph in 8th gear even with the windows down. Have to run a couple errands today that will require some interstate time, so with the 3.92's I'm anxious about how it will sound cruising at 70 at about 2k rpm.

Same here, I always run in tow/haul, so not too much of a concern for me, I know others have asked and expressed concern. I'm leaving my rear resonators on for the time being and see how it sounds with them on and the weep holes plugged. Hope to get to my install within a few days.

Installed a Tazer DT and started messing with some settings not available from the factory. Turned off the driver seatbelt chime, set mirrors to auto fold at shutdown, recalibrated speed for larger tires, and made some adjustments to lighting (turns as DRL, fogs remain on with high beam).

Might be worth getting for the auto mirror folding option.

You can turn the seatbelt chime off without the Tazer, I turned mine off. It's been a while, but going from memory, set start button to run (do not crank engine), buckle and unbuckle 3 times ending on buckled and you should get a chime (an indication that it worked) and you are all set. To reverse it, do it again. May want to youtube it, but I think that's right.

Thanks Dookie, that’s good info.

There’s a long list of other features on the Tazer of value to me. It’s unfortunate we don’t have the ability with our infotainment system to make these adjustments... seems there’s so much more we could do if only the options were available.

As for now, the Tazer opens some of these options I can’t achieve otherwise.

I have the TazerDT and I love it, I do a lot of things with it. But I can see why FCA don't let you do this kind of stuff in the infotainment screen. Some dummy can go there and do stuff he shouldn't be able to do.
