    Stereo Harness 2019-UP DODGE RAM 4-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER HARNESS W/ CONVERTER WITH ANC

    I used a cheap ANC bypass harness off Amazon cut in half, hooked up to a Kicker Key 200.4 mounted on the bracket the ANC was mounted to.

    Paint Coating Choices

    After doing ceramic, I don’t think I’d do it again. It still gets fine scratches, but you can’t buff them out without removing the ceramic.

    Increasing Payload in RAM 1500 with air suspension?

    You will not safely tow that trailer with what you want. The tongue weight will put you way over on payload. You say you don’t want a 3/4 ton truck, but your want list necessitates it.

    Towing - Best gear ratio

    I have a Hemi/quad/4x4/3.92 and get 9-11 towing a 4000lb 9’ tall travel trailer. I tow between 60 and 70, but notice a drop the faster you go.

    subwoofer sound upon entering.

    Mine does, too. I don’t have a sub, though. I think it’s pretty common.

    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!

    It is a thing. The exhaust pulses, and the cat is attached to the exhaust manifold. This is a very well known failure, and Nissan did nothing to address it. https://www.titantalk.com/threads/cat-pieces-getting-sucked-into-engine.436464/

    Ever owned a Titan? I don’t think they are any more reliable than the big 3. Cracked exhaust manifolds has been a problem for them since day one, and the placement of cat converters means when they go bad, the pieces get sucked back into the engine.

    I don’t know if your friend had mud tires or aftermarket exhaust, but my 5.7 with 3.92 is by far the quietest vehicle I’ve owned. It puts my wife’s Audi to shame.

    Blackstone oil analysis, high iron and copper only have 22k miles on engine

    I don’t know that the added protection is needed. I also don’t know if any changes were made when they made the change. I do know that VVT engines are very particular about the oil used. It would be interesting to do a study on engine failures with different grades of oil, but I’d wager 99%+ of...

    Blackstone oil analysis, high iron and copper only have 22k miles on engine

    Why stop at 5w-30? Why not 20w-50? It offers more protection. I will install what the engineers deemed my engine needs. If I am wrong, I have a warranty to cover me.

    Anyone have similar issue with 2022 RAM V8 HEMI eTorque surging when coming to a stop?

    Mine is standard Hemi, not etorque. The lurching is going to rear end someone someday.
