    8.4 Nav gloss black bezel work on 8.4 non Nav unit?

    Yeah, I used the app on my phone once to see if it worked and said “neat”. Haven’t touched it since and I do prefer google maps over the built in Nav. I do however enjoy HD radio and that is what forced me to this HU.

    Laramie vs. Big Horn?

    Radio surround in my Big Horn is the gloss black, not a Laramie thing for that, the radio dictates the bezel.

    Laramie vs. Big Horn?

    Same boat as @Biga, sticker on my Big Horn was more than many Laramies I seen as I wanted it equipped to my specs and I just don’t like the styling of the Laramie interior. I have had leather in a couple of vehicles and it’s something I always regretted getting. Passenger power seat as well as...

    8.4 Nav gloss black bezel work on 8.4 non Nav unit?

    You have to consider what you get with the “gloss black bezel”. HD Radio, obviously Navigation and Sirius connect services where you can use an app on your phone to start and unlock your truck. If those services don’t matter to you, then swapping bezels would probably work.

    12" Uconnect - Why?

    A couple months ago I seen a guy offloading his Skeeter / Vmax 250 being towed by a nicely lifted Rebel into an electric only lake. My buddy looked at me and said, “You think he’s making up for something”. ;)

    12" Uconnect - Why?

    I’m usually a tech guy too but passed on wanting a big screen this time. I’ve had many aftermarket head units in past vehicles and even installed computers in a couple of them. After the initial wow factor, it just becomes a source of audio / control. As long as it sounds good, you’re happy and...

    LED lightbars?

    Dam you! Now you’re making me go out and spend more money! ;) How did you handle the switching? Tie into factory or add a switch somewhere in the cab?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Took it to the dealer for service. I had this odd chirp coming from my brakes. It sounded just like a suspension squeak when hitting bumps but then I noticed a pattern where if my brakes were lightly applied, no odd sounds. When the brakes are lightly applied, it picks up the slack if you will...

    Any deer hunters?

    I go in and out of the desire to hunt. Fishing is my thing, can’t get enough of it. If my brother didn’t have a cabin that we all go away to I doubt I’d be out today although I am hugely greatful to my brother for buying the place. The ability to still get our dad out (72) and some life long...

    Any deer hunters?

    Back out this morning in Sullivan for Pa Rifle. A lot of shots from surrounding mountains, none on the one I am hunting yet. Feels good though, temp is just right, a little breeze and my coffee is hot. I have a leftover scrapple and egg on rye from breakfast that I packed for a mid-morning...

    5.7 Weird Lag when Accelerating??

    What was the temp where you test drove it? But no, this does not sound normal except maybe a cold start on a very cold day like today in Pa.

    Ceramic Coating?

    Scratches, blemishes, etc. Orange peel is a different beast and could actually require repainting.

    Ceramic Coating?

    Typically the price includes paint correction. Just check with your detailer.

    Ceramic Coating?

    Worth it or not is a really hard thing to determine and a very individual thing. It’s like asking someone whether they hand wash or go through a car wash. Each person has their wants and needs. My truck is ceramic coated, I like how easy it is to clean, how the water runs off of it for easy...

    Automatic Braking while Backing up?

    Thanks. I did see that in the online manual but was not sure if that was specific to the advanced safety group option.
