    What Fuel is everyone using?

    I understand how the engine works. I have been tuning PCMs/ECMs since like 2007. Based upon the info provided to me, the engine will run fine on 87. The PCM may pick up a bit of knock, under extreme conditions (like my previously mentioned high-speed pass), and will retard the ignition timing a...

    The DT Achilles Heel (If your having problems read this)

    Excellent info. Thanks so much for sharing!

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    What sort of "compression issues"? Your PCM may have pulled spark timing. Or may have dumped boost. But I assure you, nothing happened to the compression. Aside from that... nearly all boosted engines require 91 or 93. Why were you running 87 in a turbo'd engine in the first place? I would...

    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    Went and tried it again. This time I took the fob almost to the other end of the house. Waited several minutes while I was working on something else. Reached in and opened the door. Nothing. Strangely enough, I received a vehicle quality feedback questionnaire today. Absolutely blasted CFA...

    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    Okay. Maybe I need to try it one more time. The fob was a good truck-length away when I opened the door. Maybe I need to carry it to the other end of the basement, and wait a bit longer. Build sheet lookup tool? I was able to save a PDF of my window sticker, but I'm guessing you are talking...

    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    Rolled the window down just enough to reach in. Locked the doors with two presses of the fob. (Got the "horn and lights" ACK.) Took the fob into the garage, away from the truck. Went back out and reached through the window, and pulled up the lock button. Opened the door. I was greeted by...

    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    After playing with the fob and door locks, and after having consulted the user guide, I must conclude that the security system (you know... the one that blows the horn and flashes the lights, when someone breaks in) is NOT included. IN A $48,000 TRUCK! WHY NOT?! All the hardware is there. Why...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Just got my controller (and rear wheelwell liners) today. I've been calling around for prices to get the controller programmed. Everyone is quoting between $129 and $179. 1 hour. (One dealer quoted $250, but that's not a surprise. They're one of those "bend you over" stealerships. Always have...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    Looks like the number has been superseded again. Latest I've seen is 82215278AE. Appears to interchange with AC and AD. Just ordered one today. $189 for the whole kit. Also ordered the factory splash shields/wheel well liners for $159. So... big whoop... right? Shipping is free. Most everyone...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My Big Horn Sport 4x4 Crew stickered at 48, 450. I got it for 36K out the door, with my 2005 Silverado 2WD crew in trade. I don't think I did superbly, but I don't think I got boned, either. :D This was 5 weeks ago, before they instituted the current discount program.

    Lame question about fuel tank....

    What was the level shown on your gauge, when you ran out? That's a little disconcerting. Even more so, that two gallons didn't help.

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    I've only run a few tanks through mine, but I found that 87 doesn't provide as much power when I'm passing on a 2 lane road. The engine just seems to go flat at higher revs. I'm (correctly or incorrectly) blaming that on "knock retard" - i.e. reduced spark advance, due to octane induced spark...

    DT Service Manual

    https://www.techauthority.com/en-us/products/81-370-19074-SUSB is currently showing "out of stock". Lovely. Edit - As Tom488 already mentioned, they also show a https://www.techauthority.com/en-us/products/81-370-19064-SUSB, which is in stock. States that it's for a "2019 Ram Pickup"...

    Looking for a way to lower the front

    That looks great! I'll have to look into that. Edit - Will it work on a 4WD? I don't necessarily need all the ground clearance. Just don't want to get stuck. :D

    Inyati sprayed in bedliner completed

    I got mine done at Truck Specialties in Cartersville GA. $350. (Beat Line-X by a solid $100). I got a nice emblem, instead of a sticker. :D I don't mind the emblem. If they're proud enough of their work to attach an emblem, they're proud enough to let their work speak for itself. (They do the...

    Spray in bedliner and step bars.

    The mods have commenced. :D Just purchased a spray in bedliner for $350, and Westin step bars for $340, installed. These folks beat Line-X by a solid $100, and the liner seems to be essentially identical. I hope nobody minds if I give them a plug. I am not affiliated, just impressed. :) Truck...
