    Decided on the Ram, now need some help with the options :-)

    The way I see it a lot of the options are personal preference but... a couple things you mentioned have merit. The longer wheel base will add stability when towing but could limit your GVWR, I’d check those numbers. Trailer tow group... read up on some posts here concerning the group or just...

    2" level kit installation help

    I haven’t installed them on my Ram yet but have on several other vehicles. I have a cheap set of compressors from auto zone and they’ve yet to fail me. Go slow and a turn or so on each side at a time both compressing and expanding.

    My Mods to my new 2019 Laramie Sport

    Got to ask if the N-Fab steps came with the correct mounts or did you have to modify them? Reason I ask is that I ordered a set of the Podium pros only to find out they fit the 2019 classic only and when I talked to N-Fab they said the Predator Pro steps is all they have to fit the 5th gen...

    Mototrend 2019 GMC Article

    I was one of those “GMC loyalists” until July. Honestly not only was I a loyalist, I had turned my nose up at Dodge for many years. The blah factor of both the 2018 and 2019 GMC’s coupled with how far RAM is ahead sold me. As I said, I had turned my nose up at Dodge/RAM because of reliability...

    What would you do?

    A good dealer is worth a couple thousand $$ IMO. I’d see if your dealer of choice could get that truck for you, dealers trade inventory all the time.

    A/C Performance

    Has anyone Paid much attention to the power shutters when you start the engine when it’s been sitting (cooled off) vs when it’s been running? I was showing the truck to some coworkers after work... I started the engine, popped the hood and after about 5 minutes I heard them move. Or at least...

    USAA $1K discount

    I think my dealer used my USAA $1000 rebate but I’m not certain. In negotiations we agreed on an amount with all rebates I could get applied. Specially told him $45,500 OTD with everything included; TTL, rebates, etc. The dealer did tell me you couldn’t stack the $500 military and the USAA...

    2.5" MOTOFAB LEVELING KIT! PICS!

    I’d have zero concerns with the strut spacers (not preload spacers) and UCA’s and will be the route I go when I make the leap. That is unless someone going in blind proves my thinking wrong

    BedTred Impact Mat - ETA unknown

    They are making it, check’s in the mail but not in the mailbox just yet. I’m holding out for the bedtred ultra, fits just like the Bedrug but has a smooth finish vs carpet. I’ve had the Bedrug in the past and the bedtred is easier to clean. No idea of durability though, this one will be my...

    2.5" MOTOFAB LEVELING KIT! PICS!

    I’ve pushed the limits on a Tacoma and ended up breaking the ball joint out of the UCA. If one was to keep it on the road you may be ok but articulate it at all and you’re in danger of being stranded. Nothing says you should have listened to Dad like walking 5 miles out of the woods in the wee...

    Starting to consoder noy buying a new Ram

    If you look at the ratio of forum members (~1320) to the number of problem trucks (guessing 25-30) were seeing less than 3% of the trucks being problematic. Not to say there hasn’t been more than 25-30 trucks with issues but many of the issues were quickly resolved by dealers (such as my center...

    Chrome door sills???

    Just confirmed that on my Laramie both are chrome/stainless. Has to be a mistake.

    A/C Performance

    Right at 90 here today in Ohio, as always the system blows ambient temp until you get airflow over the condenser then it cools. When I get up to 35-40mph it blows cold. Works ok for this area but I’d hate to have this in the south.

    N-Fab podium steps

    N-Fab is going to make it right. They are going to pick them up and exchange them for the Predator Pro’s. Super customer service once I reached out to them. When I get the Preds on I’ll give a review with pictures.
