    Sway bars

    I expected that too, and I do understand the mechanics of sway bars well. But we noticed no reduction in ride quality The Hellwig 7709 sway bar only has a 7/8-inch diameter. It's not as big as some of the other the bars Hellwig makes. The one they sell for my 2003 Ram is 1 1/8-inch. I...

    Sway bars

    The Hellwig sway bar with shipping is going to be around $300 or $200 if you are current or past military through AAFES Exchange online: There are some minor quality issues, but they are minor and don't affect performance. Hellwig is very good to respond to questions as well. You can read...

    When are you doing your first oil change?

    Because we trade vehicles every two or three years, we normally let the dealership do all our oil changes so it will be in the database. That seems to look good when trading. Normally, we wait until we get something in the mail from the local dealership telling us it's time and including a...

    Cargo divider with no rambox

    I went another way. My Laramie doesn't have Ram boxes but did come with the BUG. For a bed divider, I lucked out. Since this truck came with the bed package, it has the rails and movable tie-down points in it already. In my pile of ever-growing junk, I had a new cargo net for a Chrysler 200...

    Thinking about switching to RAM -objective opinions.

    Similar fuel mileage here on stock wheels, stock suspension, and the 3.92 rear end in our 2021 Laramie.

    Thinking about switching to RAM -objective opinions.

    Being a Ram owner is just like being in love. No one can tell you your're in love, you just know it. Through and through.

    Do you ever start to get out of your truck without turning it off?

    Not the Ram. But I did leave one of our Chrysler 300s cars running a couple of times. Once I came out of the grocery store after shopping almost an hour and there it was running. That one convinced me to start paying closer attention and making sure it was shut off. I didn't have this...

    Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

    We've been trying out our 2021 Laramie with the Hellwig 7709 sway bar installed. Here's our impressions: There is a noticeable improvement. I had worried that there would no difference at all. That's not the case. The Hellwig sway bar does in fact work. We have considerably less sway in...

    Spare Tire (theft prevention)

    Pretty good idea. I have some smoke grenades now that might work. If I can get my hands on some CS grenades, we might have ourselves a good plan. But even colored smoke and CS grenades get really hot, so I'm thinking that should be put on the other side of the heat shield and triggered with a...

    Siriusxm renewal

    I usually get pretty good reception as long as there is not a mountain to the south of me. There's a place on I-30 near the I-30/I-530 exchange in Little Rock where Granite Mountain is right to the south. And that makes reception spotty in my 2003 Dodge Ram. I had a factory receiver with...

    What does everyone do for a living?

    At my day job, I am a process safety engineer. I also have a side business where I provide environmental consulting and industrial hygiene services. I basically provide the "heavy lifting" to other consultants. If they run up against something too hard or that they don't have the credentials...

    Carolina Squat banned in own state

    If this is the case, then why is the new law specifically against squatted trucks? If what you say is the reason for the law, then the law should create an objective standard for vehicle visibility. And all vehicles that don't meat that standard would be deemed as unroadworthy. Have you ever...

    Siriusxm renewal

    For the last couple of years, $60 a year seems to be the "real" price if you threaten to walk. Normally, I call or chat on their website and say that their service costs too much for me. They respond with several deals that I reject until we get down to around $60. Of course, they will want a...

    Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

    I believe this is the left rear wheel speed sensor lead for the ABS and/or traction control. All four wheels have one. In the first picture you can see it after I moved it up off the sway bar. Here's a photo with the original sway bar. Notice how the lead is against the sway bar which is...
