    Difference between Steering Gear and Front Suspension Skid-plates?

    I believe you have figured it out. There are only 3 skid plates total.

    Underside noise, dealer can't figure it out

    Do a search on here for "front end clunk". There are lots of threads on this sound you are describing. The most common cause seemed to be loose sway bar end links. Others talked about cab mounts being defective. When I put tow hooks on my truck I checked the sway bar bolts since I was already...

    Green Lines Across Screen Backup Camera

    I had it happen once after a night of heavy rain. When I tried it a few hours later it was fine and hasn't done it since. This was probably over a year ago.

    feels like im pulling a trailer

    Sounds like you may have a brake dragging. Check to see if any wheels are unusually hot after driving a few miles. The other possibility could be something binding in the rear axle.

    Rear end bump

    Your truck is a 4th gen since it is a Ram classic. The 4th gen Rams were known to have a "bump" when coming to a stop if the gas tank was not full. I previously had a 2013 Ram and it did it, and back then the Ram forums were full of posts on the matter. It is caused by the fuel sloshing front in...

    Windshield Wipers suck.

    I have put Bosch Icons on our vehicles for years... many times within a week or so of buying a new vehicle.

    Will 2500 flares fit on a 1500?

    2500 is still a 4th generation body, 1500 is a 5th generation. My last truck was a 2500, and it is shaped totally different than the new 1500. I don't think they would fit.

    Weird whistling noise after I turn the truck off

    Mine does this when I had the AC on- I think it is just the system shutting down and re-setting. It has never caused a problem in the 2 and a half years I had the truck (bought it new). The truck is my daily driver and has 17000 miles. I read posts on here in the past about guys trying to get...

    Are the led healights worth the $1,000 upgrade cost?

    After seeing what people on here spent after the fact for LED headlights, taillights, fog lamps, wiring harnesses, and tearing apart the front end to do the swap, I think $1000 is a real bargain to get everything from the factory. When I ordered my truck most of the ones on the lot didn't have...

    What color is this interior?

    If it was the "diesel grey" interior the headliner would be a light cream color. If the headliner is black (which is actually very dark grey) the interior is black, which also looks like a very dark grey. Your interior is black by definition, even though it may not look like it.

    Misleading? It’s on me at the end of the day but still...

    When I ordered my truck the online build and price said I could not get the bed utility group or rear wheelhouse liners if I got the black appearance package. When the dealer tried in the showroom, it allowed both to be ordered. The website is is known not to agree with the actual dealership...

    Mine is white too, on a black truck.

    PXJ Diamond Black Crystal P/C touch up paint?

    They have it. I got a bottle of it as part of my truck purchase. It even has a clear coat section on the bottom.

    Black OEM Exhaust tips..

    The WD40 cleaning usually takes me about 2 minutes, and they do look nice afterwards. I have been using this trick for years on exhaust tips.

    Black OEM Exhaust tips..

    I use WD40 on an old rag , it cleans off any tar spots and baked on grime and shines them up nicely.

    Changing Side View Mirrors from Tow to Standard?

    There are lots of older threads on this topic. Some members went with factory parts, and I believe there are some aftermarket kits as well. The cost can run over $1000 if I remember correctly.

    Tow Hook Installation

    I sprayed those bolts with WD40 a few days before, and then used a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar, and it still didn't budge. I got my 6'-4" 240 lb son to help and he struggled with it, but finally they came out. We did have the truck up on ramps for more working room. There is a thin retaining...

    Dealer dented my truck

    I have had PDR done on many vehicles over the years and every time I was impressed with the results. The dents on the OP's truck look repairable to me. Try to avoid the bondo/repaint repairs if at all possible- you will have a whole new set of complaints then.

    3.55 vs 3.92

    When I ordered my truck I was interested in the 3:55 as well. The problem is, you can only get it with the V6. 3:21 and 3:92 are your only choices with the 5.7 Hemi.
