    Which models have active air dam and grille shutters?

    The air suspension models don't have the air dam. They acomplish the same thing by lowering the whole truck at highway speeds. The air dam would be redundant.

    Tire pressure for 22” wheels

    Pretty sure that 39 PSI is higher than what's recomended for my truck with 20" wheels. Think mine is like 35 not sure off the top of my head.

    Looking at used 2019+ Ram 1500 hemi 4x4's to occasionally tow a 6000 lb travel trailer in the mountains. Most have 3.21 axle, will that work?

    That's well below the 8,000 lb towning capacity of the 3.21 trucks. You should be fine.

    Is the Hemi truly flawed by design?

    This and you have people out there running the oil wight their grandpa told them about instead of what the manual says. Add to that, the Internet is famous for a hand full of people with problems seem like everyone has the problem.

    Did Chrysler Fix the Hemi Tick for 5th Gen?

    Cold starts are where the 5w or better yet 0w comes into play. There isn't much difference between 5w30 and 5w20 in that scenario becuase the oil is behaving like a 5 weight.

    Did Chrysler Fix the Hemi Tick for 5th Gen?

    A tick for a couple seconds at cold start is normal. All the oil has drained to the pan and it will tick till the pump gets oil up there. The trick is to use oil that will get there and start lubing the fastest. That's why most engine wear occurs as cold start.

    Did Chrysler Fix the Hemi Tick for 5th Gen?

    Engine tolerances are designed for the oil weight the MFG recommends at a specified operating temperature. The exception is if you are say racing(maybe towing) which subjects the engine to greator then typical operating temps then a thicker oil might be a good choice. As oil get continuously...

    Did Chrysler Fix the Hemi Tick for 5th Gen?

    I had a Jeep Cherokee with a 3.2 Pentastar that I traded on my ram. It had 70k miles on it with no valve train noise. But I always ran 5w20 Mobil 1 from the first oil change. I will do the same with my Ram.

    Correct harness for dash speaker replacement?

    I used the connector off the factory speakers. It snaps off with a clip. You must unsolder or cut the wires going to the speaker. Then solder the new wires to it.

    Horrible Smell coming from The AC

    This happens to a lot of vehicles with "auto" environment controls. The evap coils stay wet due to how much the AC runs. There is cleaner you can get that will kill to mold off the coils. Set your system to manual and make sure the AC is off and and the vent is on to let the coils dry to help...

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    This! I can't remember the last time I used a CD. I have access to damn near anything ever recorded on my phone. I did however use CD's in my 07 Vette but only becuase it didn't have an AUX :( so CD was my only option. I hated fooling with discs again. Upgraded it to aftermarket just to...

    Headers and a Cam?

    Ouch that sucks! Best I can find out is they have to phyiscally modify something inside the ECM to unlock it. Maybe you just got a booger-ed one. Everone is very top secret about how to unlock ECM's. Guess there's just too much money in doing it. I swear the DOD can't keep a secret this...

    Dealer flashing ECU?

    I've only had my Ram a couple of weeks. I'm curious, have any of you noticed the dealer cheacking and flashing(updating) the ECU TCU whenever you take it in? The reason I ask is, previously I had a 2016 Jeep Cherokee and every time I took it in for anything they always check to see if there...

    Headers and a Cam?

    If you get your ECM unlocked I suggest going through HP Tuners. HP Tuners will just unlock it. Diablo unlocks it then re-locks(so to speak) it so only they can tune it. Or so I've read.

    Best CAI

    IMHO the best is the Mopar ram air CAI. But it's stupid expensive. :( The Vararam would be a close second. But I don't like how they handled the breather. It should be part of the intake not just have a little filter slapped on it.

    Intakes, Exhaust and Tuning

    Many tuners desensatize the knock sensors(only thing I can think of that would be called "noisy sensors"). Which isn't really a good idea, mine were desensatized for a while then after more research I put them back to stock. Turning off torque management improves performance no doubt, but it's...

    How much blow by is too much?

    It won't build up on the intake valves of the HEMI like a GDI engine will. But a catch can is still a good thing as long as you maintain it. I put a new intake manifold on my Corvette C6 (port injected LS2) and the old intake was full of crap from the PCV system. Yes you could see it was...

    2019 RAM 1500 hellwig swaybar

    Best I remember, it doesn't turn black instantly. It takes some time so check on it the next day or so.

    No, the stuff I'm talking about actually converts the rust into black primer.

    Tune needed after installing CAI?

    Nope, you're fine. Even if you add a cat back you will still be fine.
