    Side-step for back seats

    Something like this maybe? https://www.carid.com/steelcraft/4-oval-drop-step.html Says it does not fit 2019 ram 1500 but there are other brands. I just Google "truck single step". Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Air conditioning Hack

    That sounds crszy. I've not seen a V6 ram in person but I've never heard of water cooling or heating a transmission typically there is an oil / fluid line from transmission to a cooler behind the grill. I'd trace those lines carefully before cutting anything. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Gator eFx Flip Up Review

    Looks good. I like the textured finish. I had a backflip cover on my 01 ram and the textured finish held up very well. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    License plate cover rubs tailgate

    I checked mine and it's way closer than expected. The plate from was installed by the dealer, advertising, and I might pull it off seeing how close it is. I did notice that my plate frame is almost flush with the top of the plastic plate area. Pardon the dusty, dirty truck. Note sure how to...

    Bed light install opinions...

    Thanks for that. Clearly I got the switch wrong but at least I got the 2 \ double pole part, which is useless without the double throw. Yep, swing and a miss. LOL Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Bed light install opinions...

    Do a search on bed light wiring. Someone posted a while back about using what I think they called a 2 pole switch. One position was on with cargo light, other position was always on and in the middle was always off. Think I might try this approach one day. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    over zealous back up sensors

    This.... Third time it happened to me i was backing in to a parking spot. Nothing around but yellow paint stripes. Finished parking and disabled it before turning the truck off. What good is this technology when it doesn't work properly ? Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Need Some COVID-19 Shelter at Home Shopping Advice on a CAI

    LOL way higher than I plan on seeing daily. The stock air inlet has not been an issue for street driving thus far. My previous truck was a Z71 crew cab with 5" lift and 34s. I just about sucked up water at a low water crossing or two on the ranch though. This Ram ain't no ranch truck but hey...

    Need Some COVID-19 Shelter at Home Shopping Advice on a CAI

    Thanks for the video. Good job explaining the process and showing build quality. Assuming pulling air from that high up the grill help out with high water crissings and such. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Sliding tool box

    First ive seen this so no help with experience but it seems like a heck of an idea. I wonder how well it will slide when fully loaded ? Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Raptor DIY Bed Liner.

    Nice job, looks really good. Did you spray it or roll it ? Thinking of doing this to the whole exterior of my 87 suburban hunting truck but my compressor is too small for spraying I think. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Thinking about trading for a 2020,whats changed?

    My 2019 4x4 has 3.92s and I love it. All the get up and go I could want. I just rolled 8000 miles and the computer says the life time mpgs are 19.2. I don't drive easy but not like a fool either. My daily commute was 95 miles round trip, about 60% hwy. If you have a lead foot or try to drive it...

    Tried the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax for the first time

    Yep, for the price no reason to not try it. One bottle has done my crew cab, daughters Escape and other daughters Grand Cherokee. Wife's Sequoia is next on the list but it needs at least a good clay bar treatment first. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Tried the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax for the first time

    This is what I use and it has been great so far. I've never owned a black vehicle before and I really wanted to protect paint so it came down to ceramic coating or Ice Seal & Shine. Thought I'd use the Seal & Shine until I saved up for the full ceramic. This stuff is so easy and works so good I...

    Exhaust recommendation

    Cool, thanks. So you still have the resonator between the muffler and the cats. I was wondering how much difference those 2 resonators near the tips made. Now I know !!

    What to use to get bugs off chrome?

    Will have to try that. I use Superior Products Formula 4 Spray Wax as a quick dry spray while washing the truck to help avoid water spots. 1 to 10 ratio and just mist it on as you go. https://superiorproducts.com/product/formula-4-spray-wax/ Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Exhaust recommendation

    Thanks for the clip. So the first part of the video is Magnaflow 18 with all 3 resonators in place. The second part is the same Magnaflow 18 but with all 3 resonators removed. Sounds really nice!
