    Upper Control Arms - Quality Concerns

    I ran the KSP's on my F150 and they were great. Came with poly bushings and zerq's all around.

    2” or 2.5” level. Please help me decide!

    Agree with this^^^^ I went with 1.5" and there's 1/2" rake left and no need for UCA's.

    HK system lacking , next step.

    Trying to compare and contrast audio sound quality on a forum is difficult at best. To subjective. What one person hears is totally different than the next. Some ears are far more sensitive than others. Having said that there is no comparison in resolution from XM Sirius XM @ 48-64 Kbit/s to...

    HK system lacking , next step.

    You might ask the dealer about checking your software revision. I know there was an update that specifically dealt with the low output level of the H/K system. At volume 22 it should be rattling your rear view mirror and unless your into crazy loud music it's plenty loud at that level.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    If you cut through all the entertainment here I think you'll find there really isn't much of a difference in fuel mileage for either side. I have 3.21 gears and avg. 19.5 on summer gas (mostly stop and go) and 18 so far on winter fuel. I know my buddies 3.92 geared Ram is very close to this. I...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    After reading your last two posts I feel I have not choice but to hop in my anemic 3.21 geared Ram and go "Thelma and Louise" myself off a cliff. Before I go I'll just post one last parting shot.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Polarity is reversed on all 4 6x9’s from the factory with the H/K system. Most are reversing polarity back to normal. You should take the time to read through previous posts on the subject. Great info to be found…

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Dead fush in the rear and maybe a hair outside on the front. Studs had at least 1/4” room all 4 corners. No need to trim studs with 1” spacers. did a thorough measurement to be sure.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Direct from CDT for the 6X9's. Yes, stock subwoofer was fine for my needs. Many here are disconnecting after installing the door speakers but mine sounds fine. Wouldn't bother trying to add poly fil or any other mod to the the factory sub. It's a pain to access and the Juice isn't worth the...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Ah, got it. Never considered it when I did my CDT swap. Changing the 4 door 6X9's transformed the system for me. You might be pleasantly surprised as many others have discovered. The stock amp drives them with plenty of authority. Would be nice to have full DSP control but just not worth...

    2021 Big Horn 5.7L eTorque 121 miles

    My post count is dismal so here goes: Maybe try not mashing the gas pedal on your new truck til it’s broken in… does that help?

    Just picked up a 2022! I have a etorque question.

    Mine did the same thing for 200-300 hundred miles after I bought it. Almost never kicked in. Once I drove my normal routine trips for a week, it works 99% of the time regardless of AC/heat fan speed etc.

    2019 Limited - Need help with tire selection - downsized from 22" to 20"

    I’m fine with it. The heavier ply tires kill the ride quality for me. I have no problem towing my 7500lb boat on the lighter ply tires.

    if you have a hemi etorque

    Don't notice engine braking, MDS, or start stop. Shifts smooth as can be and get's way better gas mileage than the truck it replaced. I'd buy etorque again in a heartbeat.
