    Duplicolor retro red metal specks paint on the switch bezel. Pretty close match to Rebel burgundy accent interior.

    Sway bars

    Many of the complaints involved the middle of the 3 adjustment holes being oval that, in some cases, needed grinding to open up. First thing I checked on mine, which were fine. Used Mobil1 red to grease the bushings. Noticeable improvement in cornering stability.

    Cheapest way to change ecodiesel oil ?

    I've read that in other forums. Might explain why no one around here has it in stock. One WM rep in the auto dept said she hasn't seen it in weeks.

    Cheapest way to change ecodiesel oil ?

    I've been trying WM for the Quaker state now for several weeks. "Out of stock" is all I've seen. Can anyone confirm they are still carrying it? On another forum they said the Fram oil is made by Amelie.

    Line-X to the skid plate

    My LineX guy said he'd have to remove skidplate, extra couple hours labor. Ended up using Rustoleum Pro Undercoating, 2 cans. Very happy with result.

    2.5" Lift/Level - Opinion of my Selections

    Just installed the 5100s on my Rebel with the Mopar UCAs. Two reasons: increased articulation, digital angle gauge showed 4deg increase over OE, and stock appearance (dealer hassles). Also could not get the UCA bj to release with 5lb sledge to knuckle, then fork. Had to modify my HF bj tool...

    Bilstein 5100

    Did the 5100 install over the weekend. This thread very helpful...thx to all. Much of the following probably redundant, but here goes. Decided to go with the Mopar lift kit UCAs. Two reasons: 4deg gain of travel over OE UCA (per my digital angle gauge) and stock appearance (no hassles...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Finally got a several day period where didn't need to drive the Rebel. So I leveled the truck with Bilstein 5100s (5th ring) along with Mopar lift kit UCAs. While I had the tires off, blacked out the OE wheels with the TVD decals and black lug nuts. Also installed Bora spacers, 1.25" rear, 1"...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Had my side glass done yesterday. XPEL XR ceramic 70 rear, 35 front. We talked about doing the windshield in the 70, but I'm worried about the effect on the HUD and also using my prescription Maui Jim polarized. He said same thing about the RAM windshield, must take serious precaution with...

    Newbie eco questions

    Not new to the diesel world, owned a Kubota diesel backhoe for 24yrs. It's the most reliable machine on 4 wheels I've ever owned. One problem in 24yrs, hardened/cracked fuel line. Not real good for trips to town or freeway driving however, so decided to buy a diesel better suited for...

    Changing themes in mine (Rebel) doesn't change the cluster backlighting on the two main gauges.

    Cluster backlight change?

    I've seen a couple pix on here of 5th gen instrument clusters with blue backlighting. Searching a bit, seems that only comes with the Limited. Has anyone had their cluster out and removed the plastic rear cover to check/change the cluster dial backlights?

    DIY Tire Lift

    Stock tires on my new Rebel are bigger/heavier than anything else I've dealt with before. Needed something to help my aging back deal with them. Browsed the interweb and put a tire lift idea together using scrap metal, plus a couple rollers off Amazon, with an older HF floor jack. Parts: a...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Decided to add red RAM grille decals and finally got around to darkening the skidplate. Used Rustoleum Pro Undercoating, 1 1/2 cans. Very happy with results, good match to bumper/grille. Removed the tow hooks to coat the skidplate and coated them with Rustoleum red peel coat. Before After
