    Why Doesn't The Fuel Door Lock?

    I don't have to worry about that (not that she would do it)... Mine moved back in (a few years ago) and now driving my Tahoe, credit cards, etc.....just wish she would stop watching QVC and HSN all day long (yep, she doesn't work either, which is no big deal). Always something at door from them.

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    I agree, we spend enough on these trucks and most of us didn't buy these trucks for the fuel mileage or the type of fuel they use. If that was the case, I would've gotten a 'Prius" (NO!!!). Besides, this is a weekend truck/toy for me since the govt gives me a take home car. Got the truck...

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    Been using 87 for the first 2000 miles (it's what the dealer put in anyway) and seems to run fine under normal driving but slight hesitation during WOT (i.e. passing). Changed to higher octane and seems to run a little smoother during WOT. Still gets crappy gas mileage on the Rebel but seems...

    Show me your brake calipers

    Here'e mine with painted red calipers. One with before and after Running Boards installed. I have black painted calipers on my wife's black Tahoe. It's more subdued and doesn't pop like the red, so I went with the red on the Rebel. Red on my daughter's Cherokee Trailhawk too (matches the red...

    Side Step / Running Board Recommendations Needed...

    I just pushed the nut in and started turning while applying some pressure. Eventually it bites and start to thread. I had one which required a little more pressure but got it in. I guess you can also use a knife or something similar to scrape off the excess at the tip to where the nut will...

    Post your Rebel pics!

    Calipers are painted with G2 Caliper paint (Tire Rack has the best price at $43). They are very durable (compared to Duplicolor caliper paint that start to chip after a year). I painted the calipers on my other vehicles and they are still holding after 5-6 + years (no chips, etc). Lockbox is...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    G2 Caliper paint. All 4 wheels off, vehicle on jack stands or lift, and paint. No need to take calipers off. Fairly easy. It's just time consuming, especially the prepping. G2 Paint cheapest at Tire Rack for $43. Once the paint and activator are mixed, you have about a good 3-4 hours...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Thanks. I looked at other running boards and went with these with the bed liner coating. I'm glad I did. They are fairly heavy and solid. They were back-ordered so it took about a month before I got them after ordering. Easy install (just crawled under and installed...only need two size...

    Side Step / Running Board Recommendations Needed...

    I went with the Go Rhino RB20. Easy Install and looks great. It's also quite wide, which I do like (less likely to get door dings from those parking lot idiots, especially car owners). I got it with the bed liner coating (cost a little more but I think well worth it).

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I don't mind tinting certain things. Headlights and Tail lights are not one of them. Just preference. Besides, since they are illegal in VA, gives the Police reasons for a stop (don't need the headache). I try to keep them close to legal as possible. A friend of mine (who has a new 2019 Ram...

    Bed Step Install Doc and Pics

    Everyone seems to be back ordered. Found on eBay for $300 with free shipping (Just Search for Mopar 82215289AF and there's only one vendor that has a few left now...it's the new version as I confirmed it with the seller) By the time you pay for shipping at the other sites, it's pretty much the...

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    Just want to find out what fuel grade people are using. I have the 2019 Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi (no e-Torque) and the manual recommends the 89 octane but 87 is acceptable. Trying to figure out if I should use the recommended 89 octane or the 87. What is everyone else using? Thanks.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    How difficult was it to replace the letters? I have the black letters for the Rebel but haven't replaced them yet.
