    Looking to Mod my new Longhorn for MPG

    Honestly only thing that may help would be a bed cover. I don't have one, but would like to get one to hide stuff, any added fuel efficiency would be nice. I have a Borla S type and my mpg's tanked hard and stayed there. Sounds best at hard acceleration, but it's too expensive now.

    When is the DT due for a mid-cycle refresh?

    I've had a Chevy before and it just wouldn't compare to my Ram now. 2016 Silverado Z71 with a 5.3L. Loved the look of the silverado from the outside, interior was nice but all GM interiors are always identical each cycle and it gets boring fast. But overall the engine, transmission, suspension...

    Yeah, left hand is channels, right hand is volume and source.

    Trying to change xm favorites channels on steering wheel?

    You mean the up and down buttons on the back side of the steering wheel? if so there should also be a small round button in the middle, between the up and down. Middle button flips through your favorited channels.

    Largest Tire Size on 2019 Ram Laramie (no lift)

    285/60r20 is 33.5x11.2. Can't go much wider with stock wheels as the inside of the tires will touch your upper control arm. Unless you add a small spacer.. I would assume the 33.5 would fit stock no lift or level.

    20x9 295/60 ... 0 or -12 offset?

    I think it just varies depending on what people drive and how much they want their wheels to poke out. I personally like my wheels to be flush with my fenders on trucks, but in the past I've had jeeps with 17" wheels, -18 offset. Some vehicles to me look better with wheels that poke, while...

    CARVEN Muffler Replacement + HEMI eTorque + NO ANC = MASSIVE DRONE

    What rpm are you cruising at when you have the drone? I have a Borla S type and do not have drone. However I typically stay in 8th gear or the highest gear it allows when at cruising speed. So 55mph and above i'm in 8th, and rpm's around maybe 1600, don't remember exactly. But if i shift down...

    Borla Atak on 2020 Ram BH

    Yeah I asked for replacement parts but they would only want to reimburse for repairs. Found a shop but could never find time to go. Been about 9 months now and hasn't damaged anything, so I'm not too worried.

    Dealer recalibration for 275/60/20

    I had mine recalibrated at my dealer. Called before and they told me they can do it for $150. I went to 295/65r20 and my speed is now pretty perfectly matched, and same for my gas mileage.

    Borla Atak on 2020 Ram BH

    I have the Borla S type. Mine is even closer than this. Sometimes i'll hear it bump into it when moving slow and turning hard left. But I ended up wrapping the area with some exhaust tape to keep the noise down lol. Borla said they'd reimburse me if I had a muffler shop fix it, but I just never...

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    I don't have the HK, but I have the Alpine and I think for a stock vehicle audio system it sound pretty good. I have my bass set to +8, and find it's balanced pretty well. Of course it probably only dips to maybe 38Hz so it may sound boomy, but that's what you get with a small form sub with...

    Hard to find solution to weird noise ( dying whale)

    More I think on it, bad fan clutch maybe or bearing. I'm not even sure if our trucks have electric fans or clutch fans. Quiets down when no wind forced into it like when driving. Even slow speeds you'll get a lot of wind pushed through front end, could be it's putting the fan in a bind.

    Hard to find solution to weird noise ( dying whale)

    So the sound stops at 15mph but resumes right away when you press the throttle to start driving again? And it's the same sound, same volume, and doesn't vary with speed or rpm? Can you tell if the noise is coming from underneath you or in front of you? I wonder if it could be wind related...

    Bolt on no cut exhaust options???

    I agree with others, I think any of the catback systems will be bolt on. I have a Borla S type and didn't need to cut.

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers, Readylift 3.5 SST

    I've been looking into fox 2.0's for a little while now and have searching for some feedback, appreciate you posting. Can you describe how driving feels now compared to before? I had fox coilovers on a silverado and the ride was massively improved over the stock rancho shocks it had. Alot better...

    Tires

    Had the nittos for about 1.5 years. Put about 25k miles on them and they were still like new. Spent a good bit of time offroading, forest roads, woods, mud, gravel, rocks. Plenty of traction in 4wd, mud no issue. They were just as quiet at 25k miles as they were on day one.

    Tires

    I've had a few different AT or hybrid tires and found I like the ridge grapplers best. Toyo RT's weren't great in the rain, BFG ko2's we soft and got noisy quick, but the Nitto ridge grapplers I had were quiet, had plenty of traction in all terrains, and took lots of abuse without ever having...

    Electrical problems

    With a multimeter you can check the resistance of the alternator, though without knowing what a good alternator's resistance is it may not say much to test it. If the truck is off you can check voltage at the battery. Start the truck and test it again at the battery to see what the system...

    Electrical problems

    When you have this happen and see 11.6V at the battery, how are you testing this? With a meter at the battery? If so, does it remain at 11.6V if you disconnect the battery and test again? If you have low voltage at the battery while it's connected, then you should disconnect it to test it...
