    What did you do to your Ram today???

    A lift would make it easier. The brake lines were at max stretch that I was comfortable with and the springs were still compressed so I had to take the calipers off. I think the track bar was the limiting factor for droop but didn’t want to mess with it. If you are putting the truck on a lift...

    Bed Utility Group Rails and Tonneaus

    Without ram box it’s a standard clamp on the bed rail, the bug rails don’t interfere.

    Where does this plug into? Loose connector underneath the dash

    Looks like the trailer brake controller harness. Do you have a trailer brake control? If not, it should be taped up.

    Pre-wired trucks?

    Some things are still prewired, but less and less with each model year. With the amount of computers and body control modules in these trucks, even if you have the pre-wiring you are probably missing the BCM for that function. The bed light harnesses are typically there, but cheaper to go after...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Added airlift HD airbags to the Rebel, hard to see because they are black. Major PITA as with the axle at full droop with shocks and sway bar disconnected the springs are still compressed. Even took the brake calipers off and couldn’t get the axle to drop further. Used a ratchet strap to...

    Select Heavy Electric?

    Hmm, not letting me select the trailer tow menu with a right toggle, just shows current brake pressure and gain and light electric? Might have to fiddle with it some more next time I hook up.

    Select Heavy Electric?

    Have a ‘21 Rebel, factory ITBM and can’t find the menu to select Heavy electric brakes. Any suggestions? Trailer is 7600lbs loaded and at full gain in light electric the brakes barely grab. My previous truck, 2012 Hemi that I towed with last weekend had no issues at all, and could get the brakes...

    Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

    Very similar to my setup and I’m also building an over tonneau bike rack this weekend. Have a pack and play door for shoving bikes I to the back of the trailer, but hate it, so going a different route. Hoping to have the setup pictures on Canada Day long weekend.

    Do I need to change my factory 18s if....

    There was another recent thread on this. The steering knuckle doesn’t clear the 18’s.

    Too much for a half ton truck?

    Forget GCWR, not achievable in the real world. Take your payload, subtract 12% of the loaded weight of the trailer, subtract 100lbs for hitch and then you have weight for passengers and cargo.

    Too much for a half ton truck?

    12% of 8100lbs is 972lbs. Find your payload on the yellow sticker, subtract 1072 lbs for tongue weight and average WD hitch weight and see what you have left. Whatever is leftover is for the weight of all of your passengers and anything you put in the bed, can of the truck, glovebox, centre...

    Steering Wheel Does not turn the same left to right

    A quick adjustment of the tie rods should fix that. Do a search on YouTube for how to centre steering wheel.

    ecodiesel driving experience

    Picked mine up today from the dealer. Build date was May 18, 21. No issues with get up and go and averaged 9.9l/100km (23.76 usmpg) on the 1 hour drive home in 50/50 mixed city/hwy. not bad for a rebel with 3.92s, and I wasn’t babying it either. Kinda weird to see the neighbours heads all turn...

    2021 Ram Rebel Orders

    And update to the post above, received June 9, 3 months less a day from ordering. Showed up with a blemish on the hood that looks like a poorly touched up factory fix. Dealer said it’ll be fixed whenever I can spare the time to bring it in. He’ll try paint correcting first, if that doesn’t work...
