    Who knows about the TPMS?

    I bought wheels for my 2014 ram and they came without tpms sensors in them. I went to napa auto parts, they had the best price at the time, had the new tpms sensors install along with tires I had bought. Drove it a few miles and the correct tire pressure showed up on the EVIC. No issues. It...

    First Tow Impression: 5200+# Travel Trailer

    Timbrens and a weight distribution hitch/anti-sway create a very pleasant tow vehicle. I have been using the same set up on my 2019 laramie and I previously had it on my 2014 express.

    A year and a couple months in my Limited review

    Wow, that is really low gas mileage. I bought a 2014 quad cab 4x4 with a hemi, 3.21 gears new and I traded it in when I had about 45k miles on it. At that point I was averaging around 18 mpg everyday driving. It was about 65% highway and 35% city. Strictly highway was around 21 hand calculated...

    Horrible resale value? Lost $16k in 30 days.

    Thats actually not a bad price for the tires, wheels, and lift. The problem is that they will never make a difference in the bottom dollar value of the truck. You would definitely have to find the right buyer to get some money back out of those extras. Hopefully you will own it for a long time...

    Four Wheel Drive Auto 4WD Auto

    I use 4wd auto when it rains hard, no noise or sounds. It is quiet just as it is in 2wd. They are trying to rip you off. It really angers me when I see dealerships trying to do that to customers.

    First Impressions after towing, trailer sway, tire load index and rating

    I tow with a 19 laramie crew cab 4x4, 6.4 bed, 18 in wheels stock, 5.7, and 3. 21 gears. The first time I hooked up my 30 ft travel trailer, the rear end sagged. I installed timbren suspension helpers for the rear end, had them on my 2014 ram with 3.21, 1500, it fixed my sagging issues. It sits...

    Great traction in bad weather

    Here is a demo that i found very descriptive of the 2wd, 4wd, and auto 4wd. Though not inclusive of snow and ice, it gives you a good idea of how the system manages to work through the different settings. I have no doubt that the driver makes a difference also. I do not know when or if he is...

    Nice set up. Looks like you have it nicely leveled with your weight distribution hitch.

    First tow with new 19 Ram 1500 Outback 268 RL TT

    I drove a 2014 quad cab express 4x4 with the 5.7 and 3.21 gears. My trailer with water tanks full, came somewhere near 6k loaded. With no suspension help, it sagged a lot. But I replaced the rear suspension rubber bump stop with timbren suspension helpers on the truck. Then I set up my...

    New owner with short Bighorn review

    I bought my 19 ram aug 2018, the gas mileage for me started around 15 mpg from new hand calculated. I drive about 80% county roads and 20% city. About total of 20 miles a day. Highway driving at about 65 mph gets me a 21mpg highway. My truck currently has 12800 miles on it. When my 2014 hemi ram...

    Is your truck a 4x4? If so, which 4x4 set up do you have? Elocker, limited slip, open differential? Did you use 4x4 when you were in the sand?

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    Ok, I see what you are saying now. You are talking about the speaker rating of say 4 ohms at 30 watts RMS. I work on electronics and I hadnt seen a speaker's ratings expressed as rms without impedence reference in the statement. It was 5 years ago since I last installed subwoofer amps in my...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    What do you mean by 30 rms? Are you talking about an amp or are you talking about the impedance rating? I have never heard speakers referred in this fashion.

    5th Gen 4 Auto Transfer Case question

    Over all, I think the Ram made a fantastic balance with an excellent dry pavement on the road vehicle, and a capable 4 wheel drive set up. Everything is a compromise. My ram tows well, very comfortable on the road handling, and good 4x4 wheel engagement during bad surface conditions. I would not...

    Towing Sanity Check

    I tow a tt that is 30 foot from the rear bumper of the trailer, to the tip of the hitch. It is about 10 foot tall. Weight loaded and ready for travel is about 6500 pounds. I towed it with a 2014 ram express, quad cab, 6'4" bed 4x4, 5.7 hemi, 3.21 gears. I put timbren rubber pads that would keep...

    Sumo Springs on 2019 Ram 1500 4X4

    I had timbrens on my 2014, and I put them on my 2019. I do love the difference they make.
