    Best Site to Order OEM Mopar Parts

    Those above mentioned are better sources than moparoempartsdirect dotcom and/or moparfactoryparts dotcom? I will be soon ordering or looking to order a sizeable amount of parts soon.

    Sleeping in the truck ideas, back seat mattress

    @kiluakiller the crew cab DEFINITELY has plenty of room of spontaneous activity, planned activity as well. I do wonder if the pano takes away from the insulation value, though, for actual sleeping. It would also be nice if it could vent with the shade closed, for airflow without being open...

    Frame Replacement

    Never planned on selling or trading. I optioned it the way I wanted, staying on top of maintenance, I would have gave it to my son or kept it and helped him buy his own vehicle. If I'm turning my own wrenches on a fresh frame, without trying to make or beat "shop time", why couldn't a quality...

    Frame Replacement

    That's really what I was thinking, I need a garage or pole barn with a two post lift, which I don't have. I didn't turn it over or agree to their settlement offer, but they went ahead and paid the truck off. 42k, I believe, maybe minus my 1k deductible. Truck was paid down to 29k. They claimed...

    Frame Replacement

    Thank you! I believe adjuster said something along the lines of due to the high strength steel, they (Ram) don't allow heat applied to frame for bending/repairs.

    Frame Replacement

    Well, insurance did declare it a total loss. I kept it. A new frame is less than 3500, body panels- fender and hood- bumper bolt on, I could do that. I didn't have a truck with issues- leaking rear window or sunroof, eTorque battery, screen problems or any of the other things people were having...

    Frame Replacement

    Hey, all! How difficult is a frame swap, if you do it yourself? Would I need special tools and/or equipment? Background info: I wrecked my 21 Big Horn last year, Sept or Oct. Had full coverage, but I didn't much care or agree with insurance summary. Adjuster told me damages where higher than...

    G2 Caliper Paint (Timing) Question

    I'm considering removing pads, re-installing calipers (without pads) masking and painting like that. Yea, sure taking the calipers off would be the best way, but I dont wanna open my lines and then have to bleed the system.

    G2 Caliper Paint (Timing) Question

    So I got a caliper paint set, been waiting to use it. My question is about curing time/sitting time. Is it 24 hrs from start or 24 hours from finish? I'm thinking 24 from finish. If I finish at 4-5p Sat, I should be good Mon morning. Does it matter if it rains Sun?
