    Getting a good signal from Uconnect for aftermarket audio?

    Has a product come out that allows us to get a great signal from the Uconnect (12") that can be sent to amps? This is the first vehicle since the 90s that i havent put an awesome system in and have missed it since buying this truck 4 years ago.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    What other real options are out there to make some more power aside from forced induction? Are there engine rebuild kist (392, stokers?) that make 100+ hp and/or torque that might be a safer route? for example, would rebuilding the engine with a 392 kit for x dollars with forged internals get...

    Whipple has a 5th gen ram etorque version coming out in 3-4 months. Direct quote from Whipple.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    I dont understand all the acronyms (yet) but i do understand that a tune is critical. If I went the SC route, I would 100% have a shop thats familiar with Rams do the install and tune. Such a shop is yet to be found.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    Are these trucks built to handle 6 lbs of boost as a daily driver? I'd love to start at a solid 6lbs and when the bug bite, know that "going to 8, 10, 12lbs would require forged internals, a beefy transmission, etc".

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    This thread really did get me to start considering a TRX. I'm on a few call back lists when the 2024s open for order. I'm not a gear head and find I do less and less work on my trucks as I've gotten older; just not as much fun as it used to be (not to mention technology in these things!).

    are we talking colling for the SC (whipple) or engine since they both have their own cooling systems?

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    Part of me mentioning this on here is to get all kinds of view points on forced induction options. Im in my mid 40s and make great money; its not necessarily the cost of all this, its understanding the full scope of whats at hand. Im reading articles and taking notes; some things I thought...

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    These are the things that concern me. Hoping some that have gone this route (even on a previous rig) can chime in with their experiences.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    Ive always wanted a turbo/supercharged engine and the way the industry is going, it seems everything will be electric before long. While im ok with electric, in my opinion, theres a lot that needs to be worked out (charging reliability, towing range among others). That being said, i think ill...

    Chips on bumper

    I've got a ton of chips on my front bumper. Would you spend the time to fill all these in yourself with touch up paint, bring it in to a shop for a repaint or something else?

    Any links on replacing the starter?

    Spent 2 hours screwing with it this morning before I just had it towed to brakes plus. They took care of it in no time; it was definitely the starter.

    Any links on replacing the starter?

    Got stranded at work today; truck drove in fine. Went to leave, tried to start it, heard a click and no turnover. All electronics work, voltage is correct, battery is a 3 month old AGM. got about 57k miles on it. Based on some reading here, seems to be the starter. It's cheap enough to just...

    Nothing but a click on start...

    Sounds like I'm in a similar situation. Replaced the battery 3 months ago with a good agm one. Drove to work fine today, went to start it up and come home, got a single click sound but wouldn't turn over. All electronics work. Waiting for the tow truck to drop it off home so I can mess with it...
