I wonder if it's the proximity settings keeping the truck awake and eating batteries. This, battery issues, is happening across all oems

Kinda liking this stainless works. I dont think Id do anything to my truck other than down pipes though, not looking for more sound

You may as well have used the tailgate flap and cut it at the MFT seam or even got the 4th gen bedrug and cut the tailgate flap

My battery has a made in Malaysia sticker on it, I've had no issues yet but when it does fail, I'll get an East Penn made battery

I bought the one for the 4th gen, fits perfectly. Listing states that it doesn't fit ramboxes but that's a mistake. Make sure you get BRT09BXK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XPQO2G?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 Also, the above bedrug now has the cut outs for the tie downs and the...

OEM klipsch is likely different, the infiniti QX80 uses a similar system and the speakers look the same. I'd guess the copper color is only for the home speaker where you actually see the cone. I'm sure it licensing too but it does sound better than the HK; ironically, the HK speakers are more...

Driver door speaker developed some kind of distortion in the last few weeks and got progressively worse over time. Took it to Ram since the truck is new but they wanted to keep it for 2 days to diagnose and order the part. I aint got time for that. Ordered the part from another dealer that has...

Saw it a around 1200 miles, cleared it with my scanner and haven't seen it since

FYI, digital dash

A turbo engine isn't creating any more heat idling than a N/A (none turbo) engine

I think it's more likely that turning up the 5.0 to near Mustang levels will have negative drivability consequences in a truck. The mustang is far lighter and can have more aggressive N/A cams and tune than you could use in a heavier truck that also has to tow and haul heavy loads. The 5.7 HEMI...

Another thing, someone brought up the F150 with the 5.0. The F150 5.0 V8 makes 400 hp and 410 Tq. In the mustang, the 5.0 is rated at 480 for the GT and 500 for the darkhorse with 410 and 415 Tq. This is exactly my point with the car engine vs the same engine tuned for a truck, an 80 to 100...

Ram installing the 6.4 into the 1500 is a lot different that a DIYer in their driveway and there absolutely would be development costs to put it in the 1500 just like there was with the Jeep The 6.4 would need to be certified in the 1500 chassis and it would be detuned from the car application...

The jeep is a lot lighter than a 1500, 5000 lbs vs 5500-6500lbs. The jeep 6.4 isn't the same as the car 6.4, 470 vs 485 and in a heavy 1500, it'd need another cam and tune revision and possibly another compression change which would likely cost another 20-25 hp. Then they'd need to get the...

Sounds like a valve slapping the seat or a rocker arm slapping the salve stem both because of a collapsed lifter, ergo, a bad lifter. If you're inclined, you could take the valve covers off and check for a loose rocker arm and that will tell you where the collapsed lifter is. You'll need to...
