    TPMS

    Winter Tires on their own rims is why I'm buying tpms units. 5 months of snow and ice where I live demands real winter tires and not those relatively useless all season. My summer OEM tires already have tpms and I won't trash those fancy aluminum rims twice a year taking off summer tires and...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    Thanks everyone for all the good info on speakers. Kickers in the dash now and the sound difference is remarkable. I had to shift the equalizer to the rear a tad to get proper balance. When I get a few more bucks, I'll be ordering rear door speakers as the idea of taking the front doors apart...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Ouch on those front pillars and big time thanks as I was just about to loosen them for wire placement and not pay too much attention to what I was doing. Hell, it's raining like hell now so I'll wait until tomorrow and good daylight before touching anything. Cheers, Ted

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Fantastic info all around and really appreciated. Interesting about the airbags. According to the ramtruck website there are 6 airbags -- the standard 2 up front and 2 along each side about where the headliner meets the side for head and rollover protection. So no airbags in the front window...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Since we're talking dash cams c/w some wonderful pics, does anyone know how I can get keyed power for a back-window dash cam? Running power from the under steering wheel fuse box sounds a bit difficult.

    Alpine 10sp - ongoing results from testing ANC, speaker polarities, wiring harnesses...

    I was getting ready to get some JBL GX302 and GX962 speakers but now I'm just confused. My build sheet says 6 speakers but I count 7 - 3 in the dash (2 in the corners, 1 larger in the middle) and 1 in each door for 4 more. That's 7! So what size is that middle speaker or is it just empty...

    Air Suspension - "Wallowy"?

    I sold my older Ram 1500 with air suspension and just bought a new 2019 without! Two winters ago got an emergency notification on the cluster stating get air suspension repaired now. Dealership said "join the club" as they had 7 other air suspension rams waiting in line to repair. Had the...

    A Comprehensive Guide to Towing with the 2019 RAM 1500 - Everything You Need to Know!

    WOW. Wicked. Fantastic. Whatever anyone wants to call this info. Many thanks as I finally have a very good handle on what I can carry and what I can tow. Really appreciated. I once made the mistake of putting 3,000 pounds of bricks and 4 male adults in a 2016 ram diesel with air suspension...

    New to this fantastic site

    I'm on my 4th Ram over the years. Moved up to the gen5 in December last year. Absolutely none of my older non-oem add-ons fit this 5thgen. But man, what a vehicle! Just wanted to say thanks to all the members who've been so informative and helpful. I was about to buy a block heater until I...

    Non Nav Using phone to start

    I gave up on Guardian 8.4n app and the Guardian app on my phone. Guardian app on the screen says I need to finish registering first before the Help and SOS buttons and anything Guardian related will work. Three phone calls to support didn't help. Downloaded UConnect app to my S7 phone and it...
