    New Ram owner

    Don’t drive it like a grandpa. Enjoy the HEMI. It’s made to take a beating. I found that enjoying the drive gives me about 2 MPG less if I drive it the way I want vs. babying it. Just live a little and enjoy the new truck! :D

    Welcome! Great looking truck! :)

    Add OEM remote start...?

    Sadly not. I moved into my new house with a heated garage if I really wanted to warm it up before going out. :) I may still do it in the future, but I haven’t got much reason for it at the moment.

    Who Leases? Who Purchased?

    Lease to buy. The wife and I weren’t in the financial space to be able to make the purchase. I leased mine coming from a ‘17 leased truck. They took it back 10 months early to get me into this one and I only had to pay $250 for the privilege. I put $2k down and pay $350 a month. Purchase price...

    Break In Procedure

    Oh, for sure, I know. I think it’s the extra noise that plays with your mind more. :D This rig isn’t for power really, I have my truck for reliability and comfort. The Vette or potential TRX down the road will be the “fun” part. :)

    Break In Procedure

    I’ve always gone with the light throttle at the beginning, until around 100 miles, and then mixed driving with some redline pulls once warm for the next 400 or so. Then I have the oil changed. Everyone has their preferred method, and that’s mine. I love to stomp on the throttle to hear that HEMI...

    2021 Backup Camera Dead

    Electronics have a finite lifespan... some less than others. It’s normal in that regard. At least it’s a super easy fix that you could do yourself in 15 minutes if you really wanted to.

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    If I did my calcs right from the parts list... the swap should be around $1500 all said and done...?

    Exhaust

    Noise is very subjective in many ways. I was originally a little concerned that my Borla S-type would be too loud, but how wrong I was. It gave me the throaty, mean-sounding and about the right loudness that I was looking for. I certainly wouldn't want to **** off my neighbors anymore than I...

    POOR MAN’S REBEL: 2019 TRADESMAN BUILD PROJECT

    Premium lights would be on the list for me. I modded mine as I was left very disappointed with the look and the light output from factory. Since changing mine, it’s a totally different looking truck and it just looks amazing! Worth the $2k swap alone for its looks and how it makes the roads...

    Full Polish & Wax - How Much?

    I think I’d be comfortable doing it by hand, definitely not with a buffer. Thank you, guys! I’ll look into some polishing compounds mentioned and maybe spend a weekend in the garage. Time to fire up the gas heater... :D

    Full Polish & Wax - How Much?

    I’m far too newbie at that to attempt it on my truck. I’d rather pay a pro than totally screw up my paint. :(

    Full Polish & Wax - How Much?

    Hey guys, While washing my truck this afternoon, I noticed I have a lot of light surfaces scratches that I can only attribute to brushing snow off of my truck. While it isn’t a huge deal, I take pride in having a good looking vehicle and it bothers me that my paint already looks so poorly in...

    LED Headlights and AlfaOBD...

    I haven’t had any issues with mine. Doesn’t matter it there’s an error if they keep working, right?? Clear the errors and see if they return, as said. Truthfully, I think you’re worried about a nonissue. My dealer never mentions anything about codes or errors regarding my lights.

    Any Issues/Regrets so far?

    My only regret is not speccing it out with more gear. I’m totally happy with my truck, though. Wouldn’t drive anything else. :D

    Terrible evening....

    Sorry to hear that, dude. It’s for this very reason that I run a dash cam in my vehicles! I see far too many morons that shouldn’t be allowed to ride a bicycle, never mind drive a damn car! Yeah, because driving around the block at 25 and making sure you can stop at a stop sign is enough to...

    Reliability of factory LED headlights/taillights

    Depends what they cost and whether or not your truck is in warranty. :D

    What fuel for 5.7

    I mean, truthfully, if you’re worried about “wasting” $5 on a filled tank, you’ve got much bigger financial issues. ;) I get my gas at Costco and always get 93. For the sake of 20 cents a gallon... I’d rather have that extra peace of mind! I like to give mine a good beating, especially with my...

    Welcome to the family!

    1500 Laramie to Wrangler

    I wouldn’t go either. Look at the bigger picture. Once this all blows over... you’re back to wanting a truck and will end up getting one again. Stick with it and let her put a smile on your face when you drive. :)
