    Locked out

    First thing I did when I picked up my truck was to put the fob inside and try and lock the truck (which it would not do). Never thought about trying to lock with the phone!

    Bucket Dirt Lockers

    I use an Adams air cannon (like metro master blaster) and really like it. Powerful, filtered and heated air make quick work of the drying process. If using a leaf blower, I would recommend a dedicated auto blower to be on the safe side!

    To ceramic coat or not?

    Xpel Dallas took care of all the proper prep on the front where I had the PPF put on. Contamination is not a problem as I'll be taking it through all the proper prep prior to ceramic being applied. Like @MrSixStrings12, I too could not find any swirls in the billet silver paint. Will be doing...

    Terrible Dealer Experiences

    Having bought several $100k (+) cars I can say that the buying experience with MB, Porsche and Lamborghini is so very different than buying at a FCA dealership. Interesting enough, Ram TRX is upwards of $100k and many FCA models are well over $50k, yet their dealerships (sales tactics and...

    Giraffe Power Washer

    I tried using my foam cannon and pressure washer on a moderately dirty car to see how it would do. Works well, but still have to use manual agitation in order to get the car 100% clean.....just no way around it. Now, ceramic coat the same car and light dirt and repeat the experiment.....works...

    Bed spray or bed cover?

    I got the factory BUG (spray-in) and added a Bedrug XLT and BAK Revolver X4s tonneau. I'm loving the combination. Regarding the Bedrug, it's soft, very durable, and easy on the knees, and reduces things sliding around with just a spray-in!

    Bucket Dirt Lockers

    Same here, two bucket wash with grit guards in both and the vertical grit guard in the wash bucket. I have many Adams products and you can't go wrong with his products....including the microfibers!! Catch a 20% off sale and pick up some great products!

    Window Tint match for factory?

    IMO, ceramic tint is the way to go. I used Xpel Prime XR Plus and really like it and it gets outstanding reviews. If you care about state laws, check first before installing the tint. In Texas it's 25% so that means the most you can tint is with 30% and still be legal. This is what I did...

    To ceramic coat or not?

    ^^^Agree 100% You can do it yourself and have some fun doing it. I've got everything ready to ceramic coat mine (Adams Graphene). BTW, there are many different products that will help you easily maintain the ceramic coating...increasing longevity. My truck will unfortantly have to live...

    Oil change every 12 months

    For all you non-Texan's (have no clue as to why), Ram Care is included with a new truck purchase and includes 4 oil changes and 4 tire rotations that is good for first two years. By my math, I'll be changing the oil every 6 months!! 😁

    Tonneau cover cleaning

    Happy to provide my thought. Have 303 on order and will share once I have some time with it.

    Giraffe Power Washer

    Ha! I'm just a normal guy that has been fortunate enough to own some really cool cars (and now truck!) 😁 I like doing my own work when I can and detailing my cars gives me a lot of satisfaction for sure.....heck, I have always mowed my own lawn! Like @securityguy said, some people prefer to...

    Chipping/Flaking Rims??

    Yep, clear coat is coming off. Rim repair person can fix this and re-clear the rim. Many of these people have mobile operations, which makes it even easier for you!

    Terrible Dealer Experiences

    Personally, I think it is appropriate to address any issues directly with the dealership and only resort to naming names on a forum as a last resort, but to each their own. I will say that when I ordered my truck and agreed on price, the SA, who my brother had a 6 year relationship with, did...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The X4s (all black with revised hardware version) just came out a few weeks ago and I'm really glad I waited to buy it, as it looks great with the night package! :p BTW, they do still make the X4 and it's about $60 cheaper. My brother has the X2 and we compared the two....some nice upgrades...

    Giraffe Power Washer

    Take a look at the MTM PF22.2 foam cannon. This is what I have and love it. More expensive than many, but I wanted to buy my last foam cannon first! 😁
