    What (or who?) do you guys use for undercoating / rust protection?

    It's tacky, I didn't notice really any drip and I put it on pretty heavy. Get one of those tube attachments for the sprayer, helps get into the frame and nooks and crannies. I'd take the spare off. Fluid Film smells bad, best way I can describe it is sweaty locker room. The smell goes away...

    What (or who?) do you guys use for undercoating / rust protection?

    I did fluid film myself. It takes a day and you need some gear. Way easier if you have access to a two post lift. I didn't, so put it up on Jack stands, rinse out the underbody, then spray. I'd do it before every winter.

    Random cabin beep after oil change

    I did my first oil change at 5000 this past weekend. Filled with Amsoil sythetic 5W-20 and changed the drain plug to a Fumoto valve. Used an OEM Mopar oil filter. Everything is fine and dandy, much smoother engine meaning I really needed an oil change. Oil pressure is normal, varies between...

    Mopar chrome bug shield review (Mopar 82215475)

    I got it from $150 shipped from a dealer in Arizona, cheapest I could find online. It is a Mopar part so you can get it from your dealer too, I'm sure it'll be more that way though.

    Mopar chrome bug shield review (Mopar 82215475)

    TLDR: Solid and looks good when installed, but you'll need to modify the parts to make it fit right. As prep for summer road trips I wanted to get a bug shield on. I couldn't find any photos online of the 5th gen Mopar chrome shield installed on a 5th gen Ram, so I bought one sight unseen and...

    Fiat Chrysler recalls 182K Ram pickups; power steering can fail

    Heard the term recall. This affects all 2019s or what?

    Slight “chugging feeling” when backing up slowly

    Not going forward, but when I'm on the brakes reversing slowly and within park sensor range of an obstacle, it chugs. I always assumed it was the computer braking, not a transmission issue.

    Spacers on top of front air struts to level and maintain ride quality?

    From what I've read so far, just putting a link on the front will make the ride harsher. Some folks have tried putting a lifting link up front and a lower link out back to achieve the level. Not hitting any error codes requires tweaking the link height. It's also really the OR settings that...

    305/55-20 or 295/60-20... Decisions Decisions

    Yep, at least one person's done it before, and I plan on doing the same: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/spacers-on-top-of-front-air-struts-to-level-and-maintain-ride-quality.5574/

    Great traction in bad weather

    Your LSD helps. Those with the ORG (that's me) have tires that aren't as capable on the road, and obviously the locker doesn't do anything at highway speeds. Honestly if it weren't for aesthetics and ride height I would've gone LSD without ORG. If I'm honest with myself I spend 99% of the time...

    Rambox bed divider/extender, officially no longer an extender

    Ah I'm behind the curve on this. I have a Rambox with the BUG but I never followed up on the bed extender part. I got a bed divider yes, you're saying there is a couple more parts that will convert it into a bed extender? And the mopar bed extender is a different part? Does that work with the...

    ECO mode, fuel saving mode not working

    You have to manually turn on the ECO mode notification via UConnect to get the dash indicator to light up/ ECO mode is activated, there's no way to disable it (I which you could because it'd be the first thing I turned off). It's just you need to enable the notification to get the green light...

    Is there anything that you “ regret “ adding to your Ram ?

    Kinda regretting Rambox. They're small on the 5' 7" bed, and there aren't any off the shelf products for mounting a carbine securely in there. It also means I can't put a cap on without permanently losing cargo space.
