    GMauthority...take your blinders off

    Normally i wouldn't waste my breath with a rebuttal to an article posted on a website geared towards fans of a competitive vehicle as after all some bias should be expected. Just a few too many contradictions in this one to pass up. If any information I provide is proven false, I'll happily make...

    Is The 426 HEMI-Powered Ram 1500 TR Dead On Arrival?

    That's all very possible. I believe the NA 7.0 Ford rumor turned out to be the upcoming pushrod NA 7.3 that's going in F250 and up super duties. That has been rumored to be able to fit in F150 as well but i think that is all just fan's wishing they would do it...not any actual plans that it...

    Is The 426 HEMI-Powered Ram 1500 TR Dead On Arrival?

    I would not want to underestimate what team Raptor is working on. The F150 is due for a refresh around the same time the TRX will come out and although the first F150 prototype i've seen looks pretty mild on the exterior I very much doubt they are going to just let the TRX come in and eat the...

    I towed 11,500 pounds with my 3.21

    Thanks. Curious as (I'm sure you know) slightly larger OD, heavier, and wider tires will negatively impact towing. Impressive how well your 3.21 geared truck is doing. I've never been afraid to slightly overload my trucks from time to time either.

    Is The 426 HEMI-Powered Ram 1500 TR Dead On Arrival?

    I have zero source, but the following opinion: A NA 426 is all but confirmed and will be released in challenger/charger and supposedly wagoneer/grand wagoneer (or so i've read from others). The W/GW (or upcoming durango?) are on the SUV version of the 5th gen ram platform after warren is...

    I towed 11,500 pounds with my 3.21

    Maybe you've stated this elsewhere, but curious on your wheel/tire specs and if you have air suspension or not?

    TFL 2019 Power Wagon... review?

    4th gen crew cabs are a great size IMO. I think these 2019 to 2022ish? 4.5 gen HDs are going to be a real gem historically, as once they go full 5th gen and commonize cab sizes the wheelbase on the standard crew will have to grow as well to use the 1500 5th gen cab size. They may add a quad cab...

    Low tailgate causing issue with Trailer coupler latch

    Thanks for the pics. This would be difficult to remember, but you could re-latch your hitch coupler after unhooking every time. That would leave it down possibly enough to clear the tailgate when you pull away and the next time when you back up. Then reach under, unlatch the coupler, hook up...

    Low tailgate causing issue with Trailer coupler latch

    Curious why to want to back up with your tailgate down? Doesn't that make your backup camera by the tailgate latch useless? I supposed you probably loaded the snowmobile or ATV first. If your coupler latch is what is hitting, i assume your hitch has little to no drop, or you have your hitch in...

    5.7L Engine Sputtering and Rough Idle on Cold Start Up

    My 3rd gen did that, when i had a poor negative battery connection. There was also a recall for a loose ground wire a while back i think?

    LOOKING FOR

    Wait and see. I had Timbrens on my previous truck (2004 Ram 1500). Loaded up they were fantastic - no squat and increased stability. Unloaded however they were not. Typically the rubber will be about 1-1.5" shy of the axle support, so hit any bumps and BAM, axle bumps against timbrens and...

    Order 2019 vs wait on 2020

    Dodge//SRT Throws A 797 Horsepower HELLCAT Redeye Motor In A Durango...

    I think they had to mean an untouched trackhawk trans and AWD system, not the current 6.4 SRT durango's....but this is sweet

    New 2019 Ram 1500 sucks

    Do you have your seat belt buckled and doors closed? Truck will have the auto parking brake set if you do not, which would result in the issues you are describing.

    Ram Squeezing in on Silverado

    So if its not fair to compare Ram to Silverado now, when is it far to compare them? Once 5th gen rams started hitting the dealer lots (around last April or May i think) Ram started seeing record retail sales and were positive from that point onward. They also only had limited configurations and...

    Rambox Use, Tips and Upgrades

    To piggyback on this. Looks like the screws/bolts are in-line, which means a full length rail could be mounted there, so hooks etc could be located at any point along the rail. I could see wrapping a long cord or air hose horizontally instead of wound in a tight circle.

    Rambox Use, Tips and Upgrades

    One of the favorite mods i've seen is an air compressor mounted on the side of the box. I believe you have to remove the box to mount properly. Some winter when i have nothing better to do I'll go full mod mode on my rambox, removing the boxes and rear wheelhouse liners, full rust proofing the...

    RamBox Dividers - a better option!

    Subscribing to track this awesomeness. Is the inside of the box the same dimension as 4th gen? Really opens up your customer pool.

    Road noise- interior

    That is a good point, however there will still be slight vibration differences due to the cab and bed frame supports being relatively soft to absorb and not transfer frame vibrations. I didn't intend to freak anyone out. There was a design intent behind having the seal in 4th gen and early 5th...
