    Into a 2020 Ram Rebel from a 2014 (4th gen) Ram 1500 Sport

    Glad it worked out for you! I too considered mounting the Noco in the rear but ended up choosing the front for ease of installation. How about a pic when you get a chance?

    Into a 2020 Ram Rebel from a 2014 (4th gen) Ram 1500 Sport

    Yes I thought the KO2's were good also. It's been over 10 years since I used them so my memory is a little hazy. When my Duratracs wear down I'll be giving Falcon Wildpeaks a try. Supposedly those are good too and much cheaper than Duratracs and KO2's!

    Into a 2020 Ram Rebel from a 2014 (4th gen) Ram 1500 Sport

    I was curious how the stock duratracs would hold up in a Northern Alberta winter and we got an early one this year (October). This is my first Winter with them and I do plenty of driving on the highway and around the city and so far I'm very happy with their performance. Really good in the snow...

    Into a 2020 Ram Rebel from a 2014 (4th gen) Ram 1500 Sport

    I couldn't agree more. While I do carpool these days I still drive the rebel to work every 2nd day (also northern Alberta). Winter started in October this year and I drove in plenty of harsh conditions so far and the stock duratracs held up nicely so far. Very happy with this truck.

    Into a 2020 Ram Rebel from a 2014 (4th gen) Ram 1500 Sport

    The 16" cord on the Noco was plenty long. I rerouted the existing block heater cable to better secure it and I do remember having extra length when finished. I also wrapped the connection (Noco to block heater plug) with self fusing tape just as an extra precaution, though probably unnecessary...

    Well thank you for your kind words. It definitely sucks when you have issues with any vehicle but it sounds like they're making it right. Hopefully you take possession by Christmas time (what a nice gift that would be). The only vehicle that I ever had issues with was a Toyota Tundra so nothing...

    Thank you and congratulations on your new rebel also. Yes the short block heater cord was a shocker and I'm glad I discovered it when I did. I installed the Noco plug on the passenger side right on the bottom so it's hardly visible. It's been holding up great so far and while I was originally a...

    Performance Pages for a Non TRX RAM?

    Yeah maybe so. Still a little odd that they never added the off-road pages in the Rebel to begin with since the jeeps had it.

    2019 Ram Rebel License plate lights

    On my 4th gen they were just bulbs for sure as I changed them to canbus led's. I never really sized them up on my 2020 Rebel as they were already led's so that's interesting that the whole harness needs to be replaced. Glad it worked out for you and thanks for sharing. I might have to take a...

    Rebel tires for winter

    Sorry, let me clarify some more. Duratracs are often compared to many other AT tires, probably KO2's the most from what I see, but the same type of questions come up on other forums like "Duratrac vs Wildpeak". I pay closer attention to people who have used both and most of those guys say that...

    Rambox pops open

    Exactly this. The alignment issues, which certainly vary from truck to truck, are usually minor compared to the functionality gained from having Ramboxes. The alignment on mine are pretty good but if the lids popped open as the OP described I wouldn't be very happy.

    Rebel tires for winter

    Falken Wildpeaks are often compared to Duratracs. Those tires are also what I'm planning to replace my Duratracs with after they wear down (which is no time soon I hope). We've been hit with an early winter here (unfortunately). Temperatures haven't been too bad yet but we've had about 6-7...

    5th Gen DRL's - What's up?

    This is a great write up. Only one difference my 2020 Rebel came from the factory with DRL Configuration: No DRL DRL Location: Low Beam My low beams were still DRL's with this setup though I thought it was a little odd that it wasn't set to "Canada DRL" or even "Optional DRL". Glad to see...

    5th Gen DRL's - What's up?

    First, you need an OBD2 reader (mine is a cheap OBD2 reader that I bought off Amazon over 6 years ago but works fine with Alfaobd). You also need a security gateway bypass. I bought mine from Amazon also. Next you need either an Android phone/tablet or a Windows based PC to install Alfaobd on as...

    Does the rear wheel well really look this strange in person?

    This! Wheel well liners should be standard on all trucks regardless of trim it shouldn't be an option IMO.

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover for 2019 1500 5'7" bed

    The way I understand this is you will only get the black cargo rails if your truck came with the factory Tonneau cover and those aren't compatible with Bak Tonneau covers (and probably more). If you have the bed utility group without the stock Tonneau cover you should have silver rails which is...

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover for 2019 1500 5'7" bed

    Interesting, I don't recall now if I had any rail clamps come with mine. I don't think I did but I'm not 100% sure.

    Multi Function Tailgate + Bed Extender NOT!

    I also ordered the parts off eBay a few months ago to make the divider an extender. It took about 5 mins to install the parts on a 2020 Rebel with no issues.

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover for 2019 1500 5'7" bed

    Glad you found the instructions cause mine went straight in the garbage after install but to be honest I didn't use them as it's pretty obvious where everything goes. My truck came with the factory spray in bed liner but you will need the weather-stripping at the front of the box regardless.

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover for 2019 1500 5'7" bed

    I had a Bakflip F1 on my last truck with some pretty bad quality issues. I was very hesitant to buy another cover from Bak but choices with Ramboxes are certainly less. I have no quality issues with the MX4 and have no problem recommending it (based on what I received). Bak has certainly been...
