Careful here, some states have passed laws against having a "sound device" that is not in keeping with the vehicle. Mainly for sirens but I know a guy who had a train horn on his motorcycle (in California). He got pulled by a cop and they made him cut all the wiring right there.

Also, stay off these forums and the RAM website........sometimes ignorance IS bliss.

You are costing them $$$, and they want you to start paying them instead of them honoring the warranty. That's why they are offering you the additional incentive. Your truck is paid for and the value loss will start to slow down. Not to mention new truck payments and insurance that will probably...

Here's my V1 mount. It sits on a base made from wood and covered in black leather. Uses the plug for power.

I've had Bakflip's on my last2 trucks. On either one, the only time I get any water in the bed is going thru a car wash, and then it's barely anything. We get rain by the bucket full here in S/E Texas but the bed stays dry.

Their website shows no kits available for the RAM's. Edit...They do carry some lines and not others.

I hear you about the drilled rotors. I used the slotted ones on my old Sequoia when towing a pair of SeaDoos. Had to really lean on them 3-4 times and didn't notice any discernible fade. Now I occasionally tow a 24' trailer weighing 6,500+- lbs. One of the fronts is starting to warp. 80k miles...

Thanks guys. I now have something to do when I ignore the family Xmas afternoon after the goodies are opened.;)

Need to replace front rotors & pads. I've had good luck with Power Stop in the past but it appears they are now made in China. EBC is made either here or UK. Never used those though. Is there another source I should consider?

The dealer will probably ask for your VIN in order to get the correct glass. I thing I paid about $125 for mine installed. And I'm not going thru one of those car washes with the spinning brushes ever again. That's what cracked mine.

I'd try an adjustment first, but the housings are different also. Just a rant----I wish it was a requirement that if you get a lift, a headlight re aiming is required. I can't tell you how many times I've flashed someone and get flashed back with their highs - it's always a lifted truck. If you...

No problem, it's kind of difficult to realize others intentions without a crystal ball (mine fell off my desk and shattered in the 1994 Northridge, Ca earthquake) My background goes back to the 1960's (I'm 73). Every vehicle I've ever owned has had some sort of performance modification, until...

No sarcasm intended BL. In my experience, modifications are a continually evolving process: I was just trying to caution you to stay away from something that in my experience, is a do-nothing part; it does nothing to add power or fuel economy. You will defiantly lose fuel economy if you use the...

True, but the OP seems ready to take a jump to headers and possibly a cam. He already has a throttle body spacer, exhaust mods and a CAI so he's on his way.

I had one on another vehicle......IMHO, it's the most useless way to spend y our $$. All it does is change the ratio between pedal and throttle. I'd spend the money on a good aftermarket tune that optimizes whatever you want to.
