    Tranny design is stupid

    While the 8HP75 is a newer/revised design, the 8HP70 in the 4th gens is very similar, and there are some videos of that one on Youtube. Be glad that it only costs a couple hundred to change fluid/filter in these now. Back when they first came out, for a few years or more it was almost $1000 to...

    Oil Changing Issues

    I dreaded my first change, based on all these types of stories. At roughly 4k miles, I dove in and the filter came off easily with just a regular, small strap wrench. Guess the gorilla had the weekend off when my truck was built (it was built on a Saturday night).

    No lift, Hellwig Sway Bar Benefits

    +1 for what the above folks say. I have the air suspension, but no ORG, and not a Rebel.

    Air conditioning Hack

    I got a little jealous of you guys with your quarter turn ball valves, but as I said before, I'm paranoid about brass and our coolant. So I found a stainless steel quarter turn ball valve and ordered it. https://smile.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Pex-Ball-Valve/dp/B092JR2T9N Received it last...

    Air Suspension Limits

    I believe off road 1 is doable until around 40-45 mph. If you're in off-road 1 already, and go that fast, it will warn you, and then auto-lower you to normal. Off-road 2 I think is 25 MPH or so? I cannot recall. Its probably in the manual as well.

    Air Suspension Limits

    You can turn off aero mode in the UConnect settings, if you want, and that will keep you at normal height while you drive. I am assuming its a safety thing (or, somewhat related, a lawyer thing). They probably don't want you in Off-road 2 mode, at the top of your suspension limits, doing crazy...

    Steering Wheel Gear Limit Buttons

    It does, using paddle shifters. I cannot remember if it has a safety built in where it will force a shift if you hit certain conditions (e.g. over revving). The new G/T option package for 2022 Laramies and Rebels will also have them.

    2 ohm door speakers

    The JBL GX series speakers are 2.3 ohm speakers, and they make them in 6.5", 3.5", and other sizes. They are owned by Harman, just like Infinity, and seem to be a tiny step down from Infinities, although some say they sound better. Depends on your style I guess. Disclaimer: I do not own them...

    Most inflated new car price due to shortages

    Yeah, Toyota and Hyundai/Kia seem to be killing it right now in the SUV market. Average time on the lot of a RAV4 is a smidge under 10 days, I read. Probably also explains why I see them popping up on every road I drive.

    Is it possible to order a TRX?

    The big FCA dealer here seems to sell at MSRP. They never sit long either, usually about a week. They have a blue one right now, at least on their website, which can also mean its in transit. Thats how I found my Limited during the pandemic, popped on the website a couple days before it arrived...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 Differential Rear Fluid Change (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022+)

    And if you're too lazy to go check your window sticker, or you don't have it anymore... https://www.chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=XXXX Just replace the XXXX with your VIN. 👍

    Folding mirrors makes squeaks when closing, anyone else notice this?

    My driver's side one started doing this exact thing last week. I hit it with some Liquid Wrench Lubricating Oil (the current flavor of lube in my garage), and folded the mirrors a few times. This is where I learned you can only fold/unfold the mirrors ten times or so before the truck cuts you...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 Differential Rear Fluid Change (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022+)

    Not a dumb one. Couple ways. Easiest is probably put your VIN in the link below, replacing the XXXX, and it will spit out your build sheet. All your truck's features/options. https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=XXXX

    Rear Tow Hook Brackets

    Received them yesterday! Nice and heavy, beefy things, nice work! Only one tiny constructive comment: looks like some of the powder coat either got missed or rubbed off during shipping on a couple of the edges on one bracket. Not a big deal, easy for me to touch up and I won't complain, but...

    What does everyone do for a living?

    Nope, but one of our divisions regularly competes with Raytheon. :)

    2021 night edition third brake light

    Welcome to the forum! Are you referring to the Ram Airflow intake kit? https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/mopar%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Cram-airflow%E2%80%9D-cold-air-intake-system-for-ram-1500.11037/

    Best Dash Cam

    Just to be "that guy"... I will probably get gang beat for bringing this brand up, and they are definitely not cheap, but I've always had very good luck with Thinkware dash cameras. They are known to be a bit picky with SD cards, but I know for 100% fact that they can take the same Samsung...

    Rear Tow Hook Brackets

    Mine are supposed to arrive tomorrow, per the tracking numbers. Will see if I can sneak some time to install them before the weekend... :)

    So many Trail Bosses

    Lots of Trail Bosses out here as well. Lots of Rebels too, but I think the Trail Bosses outnumber them.

    What else in your garage?

    Our 2nd stall is for the wife's car, a 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the Hemi. Not as fancy as some of your other guys' rides, but she likes it. 3rd stall is for various home projects, lawn mower, snow blower, tools, etc. right now. Will have to make room eventually for a 3rd car/toy, but...
