    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm in Ohio. They asked for a pic of the truck and a pic of the vin tag. I could have taken truck to the local manheim auction for them but I could not be without a truck. I paid a fee and they had a guy drive my new one from Louisiana to me and picked up my trade. AND they beat the trade...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Score another one for Mark Dodge - my new 24 limited is arriving today. Easy deal - 20% of msrp and more for my trade than any local dealer offered. Local guys were no more than 10% off. I was a little nervous since I had not bought like this in the past, but I'm a believer now.

    Has Ram fixed some of the common issues with these trucks?

    Getting my new 24 limited delivered today from MARK Dodge and trading in my 2020. Has Ram fixed some of the issues with these since 2020? Factory subwoofer sound, whistling noise, exhaust manifolds - you know them all. I'll obviously find out soon, but figured I'd see what the consensus was.

    Aftermarket subwoofer options? Don’t want to lose storage

    If you are just adding subs, then unplug the factory SUB. You should be able to reach plug under the seat near the base of the sub enclosure. Pull the cover out a bit, and you'll see a small white plug about 1/2" square. Leave the factory amp connected to power front speakers.

    Aftermarket subwoofer options? Don’t want to lose storage

    Power should not be a problem - I am running a JL HD 1200 on subs and no problem. No the PAC will not 'shut off' factory sub - you'll need to physically unplug it.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Both sides got repaired last week. All looks and sounds good. Total was $890 of which I paid $100 due to ext warranty. We will see how long these last......

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Well, I guess I am in this boat too.... Exhaust seemed real loud on passenger side. Truck has 65k on it. Dealer looked at it 2 weeks ago, head tech walked out to my truck and instantly said both sides were cracked. Parts not available until end of June. Luckily, I have an extended warranty.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    I'm glad to hear my info was so well received by many. I have been kicking around adding some tweeters up front, but time has eluded me. Let us know how the infinity's sound - that may be the trick. It's amazing the difference in sound the upgrade makes. CDT and FaitalPro owe me some...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Metra 72-6514 if I recall correctly. These will plug into truck harness and speakers. So no cutting wires etc.

    Wind noise

    I have finally found the solution to my trucks teapot wind noise. My 2020 Limited is out of warranty and I wasn't going to take it to dealer. I tried all the various fixes and nothing seemed to work until I used dynamat at the base of the drivers A-pillar. It's tight, so I have a bunch of...

    HK system lacking , next step.

    Sounds to me like you have the software issue many were complaining of. Mine gets plenty loud and with the changes I've made - sounds pretty good as well. The stock speakers are really bad and for the cost, the faital's and CDT's are a very worthwhile upgrade. Albeit, I am never happy to...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Stock amp gets plenty loud and sounds pretty good. Speakers will make the biggest difference in sound. DSP would be nice, but for my use it sounds great and I don't have the desire to go further down the sound rabbit hole in this vehicle.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    It's been long enough I honestly don't remember if mounting depth was a concern. I know I wanted a midbass as I have separate subs. Yes the 3" would handle highs.
