    Switch install on dash for light bar

    Used a regular light bar wiring harness with a relay and wired direct to the battery. I dont like having to find a small switch to turn the bar on/off so I want it to my high beams. I cut the wire that leads into the relay as the trigger, and hook that up to my trigger source. On my old truck...

    Switch install on dash for light bar

    How do you want the light to work? Turned on by a switch manually, or auto as in when you turn your high beams on? Here is my switch’s in my dash. The 2 position switch controls my light bar. The switch actually just controls the relay so I have an override to make the bar not work, but the...

    18in rims that fit over caliper

    My 19' Bighorn came with 20" chrome rims. I dislike big rims, and really dislike chrome. When the 20" tires were shot, I ended up buying a set of brand new factory take offs with new tires, still with the little nubs on them. I painted the rims black before putting them on the truck.

    Whine from my e-torque

    Dropped my truck off at the dealer this morning and the tech heard the noices. Parts were ordered. 3-4 more weeks…. When I first posted originally I searched and found out about a 8yr 80k hybrid warranty and what was covered. I can’t find that now. Anybody have a link for me?

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    @Shifts And Grins Fab , I have this in my Ram, and my buddy likes it a lot. He just bought a 24’ Sierra though and I’m struggling to find a light bar bracket mount for him. Do you know of any kits that will work on a sierra?

    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    This is not my 1st vehicle, and I have not had rust issues on any of them, including my Tacoma that was know for the frames rusting away. I take proper care of my vehicles, but how am I supposed to take a hose and hand wash it in the winter when I live in a area that is regularly sun freezing?

    I traded in a 13’ Tacoma crew cab sport for my 19’ Ram Bighorn. In the 200k I put on the Tacoma I spent less then $1k fixing things, not counting tires, oil, brakes. I traded it in because while the thing had been great I was worried about something coming since it had the miles it did with...

    Whine from my e-torque

    Cool, you should be as silent about it as you say it is for you. Nobody cares you don’t have etorque

    Whine from my e-torque

    I have a 5.7 Hemi with E-torque. I’ve had the truck about 1.5yrs and other than the exhaust rumble it’s very quiet. Starting a week or 2 ago I have a whine that sounds like an idling super charger kinda. It is rpm based meaning as I get on the gas it increases, but doesn’t always exist. Popping...
