^^This. There is no incentive for a car company to invest in giving customers the ability to add features like this. It's a sad truth that they're in the business to make money, not to delight customers.

That’s a good point. Was the hood liner undamaged before the belt came apart? If that happened in one event I’m wondering how your daughter didn’t notice it if she was indeed driving when it happened.

I have had it happen. Didn't hear it until the belt failed completely and slapped the underside of the hood. Before that there was no unusual noises or other indication the belt was coming apart. OP's belt is still functioning in the pics he posted.

It's not likely you would have noticed it. I doubt it made much noise. It wouldn't be like the old days of loose v-belts squealing.

I've read about that happening. I would assume pulley misalignment on the etorque motor/gen drive system (captain obvious). Have you had it looked at by a dealership?

Some bed covers utilize the top slot. The BakFlip cover on our 2020 Limited installs into the top channel. Here's a link to the installation instructions which show this...

I doubt that alignment would be covered 8 months after you bought the truck. Road hazards can affect alignment and they’ll likely say you probably hit a pot hole or a curb and caused an alignment issue. But you’ll never know unless you contact your dealership. The answer is always no if you...

It’s easy to make claims. Coming in and posting about lots of people isn’t data, it’s just you saying it. I’ve only ever seen one post where someone’s claims are backed up with real numbers. But that was one run with an OTR style CAI and one run with the stock intake. That’s not definitive...

Can you post any pics to show what you’re concerned about? We have a BakFlip on our 2020 Limited with rambox and MFT. There needs to be a gap on the sides. Otherwise you can’t open the rambox lids.

While I agree that it seems most of the vehicles that are disabled in winter driving conditions, it’s not the fault of 4wd/awd. It’s because the drivers of those vehicles who thought that having 4wd meant they could drive like normal on treacherous roads. I understand the mentality of using...

Like I said, I believe data. Doesn't matter how many people say whether or not a particular intake design is restrictive or not, or how many people drop in and say there have been solid gains with brand x intake. I'm an engineer. When it comes to something like this, I trust the maths lol 🤷‍♂️

It should work. I've removed the active air dam on three different 5th gens. In every case I never saw a CEL. Edit: Wait, the title of the thread is for active shutters, not active air dam. You will definitely get a CEL if you unplug the active shutter actuator. But apparently the codes...

That's the only potential way of any kind of performance increase, if the factory intake is restrictive. I'm not familiar with the Hurricane intake, but I find it very difficult to believe it's restrictive. Manufacturer's are trying to eke as much fuel economy as possible because of CAFE...

Adding a CAI alone to a turbocharged engine is more of a waste of money than adding one to a NA engine IMHO. What good would it do to (possibly) cool the air down by a few degrees before it's heated up when it passes through the turbos? Then it goes through the intercooler before going into...

No, definitely not. Next time this happens you should take a video. It may give them a starting point in figuring out the problem. I can understand the dealership not being able to do anything if the truck is behaving normally. After all, they can't fix what doesn't appear to be broken. But...

The amount of hassle it will depend on a few things. Has your factory warranty expired? If not you shouldn't experience much in the way of hassle as long as they have parts in stock to repair it. If it has expired you will probably have a hassle. The amount of that depends on how willing...

I haven’t tried any of the newer ones, but I used to use a leaf blower on my vehicles. It definitely works, but the air cannon I posted above is more like a blow drier that a leaf blower. It blows an adjustable volume of air that is heated. It’s much more effective than the leaf blower I used...

Since you mentioned Les Schwab I thought I’d post these up. Excellent year round performance (3PMSF rated) and fantastic in winter. Quiet on the highway but perform well in the light off roading I’ve done. I have them on three different vehicles and I love them...

We have a thread with examples of what people have done. Lots of information here… https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2019-rams-with-lifts-levels-and-or-aftermarket-wheel-tire-setups.264/
