    2021 5.7L Muffler question re. size/configuration

    I had the B2 Fabrications muffler delete straight pipe but left on the rear small resonators and factory tips for almost two years on my truck. It was aggressive, sounds badass, except for when MDS kicks in and at certain RPMs. Sometimes it just sounds like **** and drones bad, you can feel the...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I hear you but I’m not going to suffer until FCA does something about it. The dealers won’t do anything unless FCA issues an official recall. I’m not holding my breath for that.

    Air conditioning Hack

    I used thread tape on the Male Pipe threads for the adapters that thread into the 3/8” valve. That’s it.

    Air conditioning Hack

    I’ve been running the ac hack with 100 degree plus temps and believe it has made a positive difference in the cooling capabilities of the truck. I don’t have an air temp thermometer to test the temp with the valve open and then closed. I can say that I finally get cool and feel comfortable...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I have a 2019 Ram Bighorn Sport that has unsatisfactory a/c. I took it to my local dealer at the end of last summer 2019 and they claimed to have found/replaced a cracked a/c valve and charged the system. Now that summer 2020 is heavily upon us here in SoCal I’ve noticed that whatever they...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I’ve seen some posts in here stating the trucks are pre wired for the sub but don’t quote me on that. I guess the sub would mount behind the back seat, there should already be a space for it. As far as the amp I think it would work. You’d just have to do some more research. Maybe somebody has...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    The speakers in the dash are wired off the front door speakers I believe with hopefully a crossover or a resistor. There are only 4 sets of speaker wires coming out of the stock amp under the seat. I wired into those and all 6 speakers work and sound fine. Now the amp pushes the speakers and I...

    19 Ram "Lemon Law Success"

    I think I found the issue with my truck being randomly dead. I found a missing nut on one of the positive wire connections at the fuse box in the engine compartment. The positive has a jumper (flat metal not wire) over to the post next to it but there was nothing there to hold it down. It wasn’t...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I have the 6 speaker with 8” screen system and wanted more volume. I ended up installing the Kicker Key amp under the driver seat. It’s easy to tie in under the driver seat because that’s where the stock amp is located. Just wired out of the factory amp and went into the kicker key and then out...

    19 Ram "Lemon Law Success"

    Thank you. The issue doesn’t appear to be a dead battery but something else causing the truck to not power up at all. The dealer couldn’t find any codes or any issues while they had it. They flashed and updated the computer hoping that would solve the issue. I won’t know if that solves it until...

    19 Ram "Lemon Law Success"

    My truck has died overnight two times now after having it three months. I just recently got a check engine light, my scanner says it’s for an evap leak. I don’t understand why Ram hasn’t stepped up to try to solve the issues and train the deal ships on how to properly take care of the truck issues.
