    Powerstep Installation

    For people who have done this install, how tight to the truck do your steps sit when retracted? Mine are very even, but there is a pinkie-finger gap between the truck and the step when retracted on both sides. That seems fine to me, but I'm curious if that's nominal or not.

    Ceramic Coated Tradesman

    I was quoted locally for two different products, Ceramic Pro and Ceramic Lite, which are two different formulations. And two very different price points.

    Powerstep Installation

    Yeah, that would have been easier I think. Even would have made the board installation easier as the step mounts kept moving while I was trying to get the t-nuts centered.

    Powerstep Installation

    I finished installed the AMP Research power steps today on my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie, along with the manual override switch. I started at 9:30 and finished at 2:30, which included two trips to the parts store for a few things (a step-bit to install the switch, and a M8x1.25 thread die)...

    Powerstep Installation

    I ran into an issue on the first step of installing. I removed the harness backet and removed the bracket from the part. I attached the replacement bracket to the part, but for the life of, I don't see a way to orient the cable harnesses and part to fit the hole alignment they want. Was...

    Improving the handling

    I installed the Hellwig sway bar and was frankly surprised how much difference it made. I already thought the ride was pretty good, but body roll is far less pronounced now. A worthy (and simple) upgrade IMO.

    spare after new tires?

    Awsome. Build sheet says full size spare, and Ebay has a ton of single tires available in the right size. Only question, as you say, is whether it will fit with the shields.

    Cap/topper options

    ARE told me directly that the CX Revo was suspended until at least the end of March, due to an issue with the rear door. This was 2 days ago.

    Making Progress De-Chroming Limited

    How did you deal with the chrome bumpers? I asked a local paint shop and they didn't want to deal with them.

    spare after new tires?

    Updated to new wheels and 295/70/18 tires. I believe my spare is 245/65/18. That's a pretty big disparity between tires and spare (about 4" I think). Do I need to consider a cheap spare that is close to the same size, or am I good as is. The tire place is telling me I'm fine for short...

    My AMP powersteps were just delivered so I'll be doing the same here this weekend.

    34's and 3.21

    I have 34" and 3.21, no issues. I can't tell the difference, but I don't spend a lot of time dropping the hammer at stoplights either. Tows my 14' loaded cargo trailer up and down hills and through the snow just fine.

    Steering no return to center (left turns)

    Yeah, that's basically what I did and that was effective enough that he was able to experience the issue to some degree. Enough to make a guess at the problem, but we'll see how it develops as more people have it checked out and we get more data.

    Gas mileage on the 2019 5.7 hemi without etorque

    this is close to what I am seeing as well, same setup. Larger tires haven't really changed that for me. But I'm not very far (only 600 miles on the truck so far) into it either.

    Steering no return to center (left turns)

    I took mine in this morning. The truck was well warmed up (I can confirm the issue does not occur on a cold truck; at least not mine) and I was able to repro the issue myself. Rode around with the technician and while the conditions were not ideal for a "full" repro, he was able to experience...

    Steering no return to center (left turns)

    I have mine scheduled for the dealership shop tomorrow. I'll let you all know what they say.

    part # for toggle switch groups?

    I suppose I could go old(-ish) school and drill/fit a switch, but... man, I was hoping for something cleaner. Thanks for the info :-)

    Damn I want that cap right now.

    Steering no return to center (left turns)

    That's pretty much exactly how mine feels.
