    Clunk and Grind???

    I was reading on either the 2500 or the TRX site that they are also experiencing this clunk on the front end when coming off curbs, or off roading, etc. They mentioned the body mounts as a fix fopr some of their trucks while others mentioned that the issue is with the front Bilstein shocks...

    Trans down shifting delay

    2021 Rebel with 8 speed trans and I have the same issue. When slowing to a stop sign, the trans shifts down to 3rd and hangs. If I apply throttle, the trans slams into 2nd or 1st based on speed. The truck shouldn't still be in 3rd or 4th gear at 5mph, but mine is.

    Clunk and Grind???

    Ok, I just installed the new Energy Suspension sway bar bushings tonight. While under the truck, I verified the tie rods are tight, the SuspensionMaxx sway bar end links on top and bottom were tight, the brake caliper bolts were tight, the lower shock mount bolts are tight and the front body...

    Rearend clunking

    Had similar issue on my 2006 Silverado. It was the drive shaft u joint. They replaced it with a new nickel one that addressed the issue and it never happened again. I wonder if the play in the yoke is causing this clunk.

    Clunk and Grind???

    Maybe this weekend I'll disconnect the endlinks altogether and see if the clunk is still there. If so, maybe the sway bar is hitting something when the truck articulates some.

    Clunk and Grind???

    I should state that I also had the driver side axle replaced due to the CV boot leaking. This was done when the alignment was done, so I should go back and verify torque settings on all components. I've also been researching this and found a few possibilities. I haven't done these yet, but...

    Clunk and Grind???

    Like many here, I've had a clunk in the front end when going over a speed bump with the wheel turned slightly from center. I didn't worry about it too much before because I ordered the SuspensionMaxx sway bar endlinks. I leveled my truck with Bilstein 5100s, added the sway bar endlinks and...

    Ram Body Tilt?

    I'm pretty sure my truck was even from side to side until I got an alignment done. I remember measuring front and rear after doing the Bilstein 5100 install and I was even front to rear and side to side. Now my truck is leaning 1/2" lower on the driver side. Can caster adjustments cause this...

    Here's what the TRX wheels with stock Rebel Duratrac tires looks like at the UCA.

    TRX 18" wheels on 2024 Limited

    The bead locks are the same specs. Mine are from the Ignition Edition, so they aren't full black, which I'm not really a fan of, and they aren't full silver, which doesn't fit the look of my truck. If I find bead locks, I may grab a set, but I like the ones I have without paying for custom...

    TRX 18" wheels on 2024 Limited

    The 1st picture is with factory Rebel tires on TRX wheels with no spacers. This is the distance on the UCA. It's closer than I like. The 2nd pic is of the tire poke. It's not bad at all as the tread is still behind the mudflap, so i don't get trash or mud all over the side of the truck.

    SOLVED! Unable to Calibrate FCW/ACC After Adding 6" Suspension Lift on 37's...

    I wanted to update once again and say that my alerts are back on the dash. I popped the covers off and checked the angle, which was still the same, so I figured the truck angle wasn't level when I originally set it. Maybe close, but not level. So, I leveled my truck by using a 4' level on the...

    TRX 18" wheels on 2024 Limited

    I added spacers when putting the TRX wheels on my Rebel. I put stock 275/70-18 AT tires on the rim. Without the spacers, the tire was close to the UCA, so the spacer helped. Now, in one discussion, it was mentioned that the 9" rim and the 8" rim have the same backspacing, so the distance to...

    Proud new owner of a '22 Ram Rebel

    I live in Florida and get similar mileage as SD Rebel stated. The 3.92 gears are probably the biggest culprit in the ECO mode not engaging. Driving at 30mph in my neighborhood, on mostly flat ground, ECO turns on, but immediately turns off when any change in grade happens. When traveling, I...

    36k miles manifolds cracked

    Is there an easy way to check for a cracked exhaust manifolds. Can't see anything from the top or through the wheel well, so I'm thinking the cover needs to be removed to see it. Correct?

    Auto-Tilting Outside Mirrors

    Is the auto tilt user programmable? My 2006 Silverado got fitted with 2006 Tahoe mirrors. The Tahoe mirrors would tilt down when backing, but when tilted, you could adjust the angle and it would hold that setting for every time you back up. You could also set it for driver only, passenger...

    Rebel Tires for Highway

    I've seen many complain about vibrations in their trucks. Years ago, my Silverado became victim to the frame shake after I replaced the tires. I had the E rated BFG AT KO on it at first and decided to lessen the unsprung weight and went to D rated BFG AT KOs. After that change is when I...

    Gloss black badging

    And be sure that it's compatible with plastics so it doesn't melt them!

    Rebel on TRX wheels and tires

    275 or 285 series tires on the TRX wheels work just fine without spacers, but the spacers give it a slightly more aggressive stance. I have the stock tires on TRX wheels with 1.5" spacers.
