    ORP springs on 2wd CC

    i don’t believe they will fit but someone may correct me. i’m sure it would be cheaper to do an inexpensive coil spacer for a 2wd? i’m sure those can be had for 50-100 dollars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

    i work from home 3 days a week (on 4/10 schedules) so my truck will sit sometimes for 2-3 days at a time. i’ve had zero issues with battery drain, the tazer seems unobtrusive. ive had it about a year now, with no issues to mention. i did just pull it and plug it into my computer for the first...

    2021 1500 Power Running Boards

    i went with amp. managed to order them via amazon prime. they were something like $1620 after tax. i installed them myself, with no issues. i would be happy to take pics and measurements so you could compare to the functionality of amp vs. mopar. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Adding OEM Front Camera?

    bummed to see this probably wont work for the non-nav 8.4. i went ahead and enabled with my tazer, going to wait some time + a few keycycles to see if i get lucky, but i’m not optimistic. i am glad that i didn’t order the parts until i confirmed i could enable, though. jealous of you guys with...

    5th gen Ram 1500 push to start issue.

    sounds weird, but did you replace any of your truck’s lights with LEDs? ive heard of that oddly causing key interference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    i’m pretty pleased with it! i’ll try to sell the tires and sell my chrome wheels to make up for the expense. shop said it would be about 80 bucks to get them swapped and mounted, cant beat that Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hill Descent Control

    ive used it once, in the hills of arkansas near eureka springs. it works well enough. had to put it in 4low to get it to engage, and i was impressed by it. i doubt i’ll need to use it again for a good while, its mostly flat in setx. here’s a vid i uploaded of using it. not much to see other...

    3.6 "feel" related to sound deadening?

    its going to seem like low-hanging fruit, but have you checked all of the motor mounts? i know its unlikely that they are worn out, but i would give each of them a once over to make sure they’re all good to go. failing motor mounts cause very strange vibrations. your exhaust damper idea was...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    found some wheels i thought i could clean up on marketplace today. ended up grabbing all 4 wheels and tires with 14k on the set, for $400. rinsed em off, degreased, and ceramic coated them. hopefully finding a shop to swap my factory AT’s & TPMS over to these wheels today and getting them on the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    my truck came factory with these. super handy for adjustable tie downs. i have some plans in the works to build a folding awning mount so i can get an awning on the truck. quick ipad sketch on what i’m thinking. i have some notes somewhere on some fasteners from amazon that will work with the...

    How reliable are 4th gen Dodge Ram 1500’s?

    8 speed is a solid transmission. they run a fluid heater on them, so trans temps will throw you for a loop at first if you ever watch that sort of thing. the hemi has been a tested and reliable motor for years. they love to pop manifold bolts and the exhaust will leak. a small percentage have...

    Any regrets not getting 4x4

    working from home in setx, had to get out after work finished yesterday to check on my parents and in-laws. on my way home i slipped around a little, mostly just taking it very slow on the roads and not driving much. 4wd-auto has been a nice peace of mind, but i could manage if i had my old 2wd...

    How do you get your oil changed?

    i did DIY 6-10k on my 4th gen, and that oil filter is a pain in the ***. I’d do my 5th gen if i had an oil relocation kit, but i tried out the lube shop my father in law brings his CTD to and they charged me 108 bucks for royal purple full synthetic. I usually spend 60 bucks on my own to change...
