    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!

    Remember: You can add most options to your truck once you buy it. So if you like the Laramie but not happy with missing a few options dont sweat it. My Rebel did not have Adaptive cruise, Blind spot mirrors, and some smaller options. But it does now, easy to add after the fact.

    How to: Add Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, FCW & Auto Hi-beam to Ram 1500

    Installed ACC with a used module I got from ebay. Works great, but still need to do 1 more bleed to allow parking brake to grab better. Easiest part was swapping out steering column switch and also HCU was really easy also. Can't believe it was worried about the install after reading how tough...

    How to: Add Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, FCW & Auto Hi-beam to Ram 1500

    I am going to install my ACC on Friday. Quick question: Can I do it in 2 stages??? Can I do my steering wheel switch on Thursday, then do my HCU/ABS on Friday???. Is it still drivable???? Or will I need to do everything on the same day.??? Thanks for any help.

    35 avg mpg

    Not been on forum for a while, but had really good mileage this summer. 1301 KMS and used 109 liters of gas to refill tank.(1 Tank of gas all highway) Converted it would be around 33MPG I believe. I did change out my Goodyear Duratrack to a Good highway tire, and for sure it helped.

    Woble at highway speeds

    Goodyear makes a pretty ****ty tire, but so does Bridgestone for the ram. Just from what I have read, so dont shoot the messenger. I removed my Goodyear Duratrack the same week I bought my truck. I wont run a Goodyear tire on anything, let alone a bicycle. Happy with the Continental HT tires I...

    GDE tune review

    I hope they get it figured out. I had 295,000 KMS on my 2014 eco and besides replacing tranny at 220,000 Kms It ran perfect. I really want a tune as I just payed off truck, but I dont want problems. Glad to see some honest reviews, sugar coating a problem helps no one.
