    diminished value claim

    You can't file diminished value claims against your own insurance company. Since you said it was a hit n run, your insurance fixed your vehicle, even though they weren't the responsible party. You should check your state laws, but most states don't allow diminished value against your own...

    New head of Ram...

    Well, I hope he doesn't bring back the same Hemi we've had for so many years now. There's no reason we can't have a new Hemi. There's no reason the 5.7L should be getting 13-15mpg in 2024. Technology has proven that the V8 can do so much better, so a new Hemi design that gets low 20's would...

    5100 Leveling Bighorn BTS

    Sounds like you have it all set. The only recommendation I have is to also replace the sway bar end links. Since they connect to the LCA, raising the front end puts the sway bar with the factory links at the wrong angle. The new end links are longer to reach the new height of the truck.

    Top speed 192km/h?

    It was when the instrument cluster was tested at the factory and run up over the speed limiter number for full sweep testing. There are posts from years ago with people getting salesmen fired by claiming that their new truck, with less than 25 miles on it, was driven up to 120mph. And, doing a...

    ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required

    Ok, I drove about 65 miles towards Tampa yesterday and the lights came on again. I stopped at Lakeland Dodge to see if they could tell me if I have a code. The service writer didn't tell me any codes came up, but gave me a printout stating that I have the ABS module recall that needs to be...

    Expanded in floor storage?

    They do install from the top. So, what if you fabricated the larger bin with a detachable top lip? You could install the bin from underneath and screw the top lip from inside. So, it would now be a 2 piece install rather than a 1 piece from the top only install. I mean, since you're...

    Beamer wave, Jeep ducks, Ram ….?

    So, you're saying that the wave is to say "Nice Truck" to a passing RAM? What if it isn't a nice truck? I could understand a wave, a real wave and not some hand signal/gesture type thing, if you saw an old truck and you were in an old truck, to just acknowledge the old truck thing, but waving...

    Beamer wave, Jeep ducks, Ram ….?

    Lately, it seems I've been waving the middle finger when driving around Orlando. Not sure it's a RAM thing though. :D

    Stellantis CEO Resigns

    I have a coworker from the UK. He comes to the US regularly and always asks for a V8 pickup as his rental vehicle. I think there are some in Europe that see what they don't have access to. They don't have the infrastructure in many parts of Europe to support a big truck. They can support the...

    ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required

    I've had the alert come and go many times now and it just cleared again last week. I removed the cover behind the rear view mirror, cleaned the windshield and then also cleaned the lens on the module. After about 30 miles, it cleared. Stayed cleared for a week, then came on for a week and now...

    Aggressive Stance

    @PurpleRT, are you referring to the front or rear when discussing the 5100s? It almost sounds like you're referencing the front. I agree 100% that the proper way to lift the front is with the 5100s, 6112s, or something designed for front level. But, you responded when I mentioned a 1" rear...

    Aggressive Stance

    What's not right about adding a block? Trucks get blocks for lifts with leaf springs all the time. The block goes under the rear spring giving the lift. It doesn't change the spring in any way. It just lift the lower mount for the spring up. If the stock shock has the travel to accept that...

    Beamer wave, Jeep ducks, Ram ….?

    Why do you need to wave at strangers? I don't get the idea that because you own a specific product that you're part of a group or a gang.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    One month after applying the Avalon King to my wife's car, a bird crapped on the trunk lid. Less than 30 minutes after that, I hosed it off. The trunk had marring where the crap was sitting and it would not come off with a clay bar or even compound. I had to wet sand the trunk of a brand new...

    Aggressive Stance

    The spacer that I mentioned above was rear spring spacer for lift. You can remove the wheel studs and install longer studs, but I don't see the point. Taking the wheel off and retorquing after 100 or so miles in big deal. You shouldn't have to retorque them after that unless you remove them.

    Plus, I got the 1" spacers for $40. But, as mentioned, the shocks will allow for 1" additional travel, but don't provide any lift.
