    How much have you spent on mods?

    That sounds expensive.... Do you know what that would cost? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    How much have you spent on mods?

    I'm a little under $1000 after almost 3 months of ownership. -added passive entry to Bighorn (BTS) -bedrug bed liner -graphene ceramic spray "coating", not really a mod, but it was money spent on the truck -moral patches for seats -door sill protection Still planning a Sentry CT tonneau cover...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Wash and Adam's Graphene Ceramic "coating" spray applied. I noticed it's a different animal compared to some silicone based hydrophobic coatings (like F11) and that gives me optimism that it will have done good durability. I'm hoping for performance that's midway between a silicone detailer and...

    While installing passive entry I noticed this on the inside of my door panel. I thought it was neat. They seems to be pretty excited about BTS... A bunch of exclamation marks!!! And TRX? What's that referring to? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    What rear seat cover are you buying?

    I have an old one from Duluth Trading. It's not designed for the Ram (it's generic fit), but fits well enough. Not sure if they still sell them. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Completed my passive entry install today. It was alot of work, but well worth it in my mind. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    Update... It's working! Still not in my uconnect menu, but it's working as expected. Is it possible to program it to automatically lock when you walk away from the truck (without pushing the handle button or the fob button)? Thanks to everyone that put the work in to future this out. It was...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    I completed the install this morning, and currently have my battery unhooked.... I planned to change out my rear door handles (not adding passive entry to these doors, but I want them to match my fronts). Then I realized that I never ordered rear door handles! How dumb. Does anyone know the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Nope. I highly doubt you'll compete with the mpg of your f150 (I came over to Ram/Hemi from an F150 3.5 ecoboost, and I'm a solid 4-5 mpg worse). Especially when you add some heavy options.... Mpg is by far the worst part of this truck in my opinion. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    I'm planning to do this job over the weekend. I assume it'll take me the majority of a day, but I'm curious how many hours this took for those of you that have completed the job? Also, how do I replace the back door handles? I am changing handle color so I need to replace the rears, even...

    Did you install yourself? Looks pretty good! Do these include heat? Ventilation? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Tonneau Cover Pics

    Can you post some pictures of where/why it leaks? That cover is at the top of my list, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. In have ramboxes, so it might be a little different. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Fuel Economy

    Yup. I have that setup (BTS) and I'm struggling to maintain 16 at 65-70mph (and less as I increase speeds to around 80). City is about 14 or lower. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I mostly agree with you. Even in my disagreement, I agree with part of your comment. You say that a person who traded when they bought doesn't know their true price. In many cases that's true, but in mine and some others (I assume), I had fully negotiated the new truck price and agreed on that...

    Several great people on this forum figured it all out. There are complete threads with what you need to order and how to install. I'm about $430 into it, and I think that's all it will cost me, but I haven't jumped into the install yet. This included everything needed because I didn't have...

    I agree that those are the only two options I'd like in addition to my truck (at least that's all I'm aware of, so I definitely don't want to spend time driving a limited to discover the world of expensive things). I'm in the process of adding the passive entry, so that list of wants gets a...

    I just feel lucky to be part of the BTS club. I wasn't even searching for a BTS... It is simply the truck that happen to meet my specs and price. I had to drive 9 hours each way to get it, but it was very worth it. Now that I have a BTS, the only way I'd consider a different RAM, is if I found...

    If the black is harder to keep clean than the patriot blue I would NEVER have a clean black truck. I love my patriot blue, but it's the most difficult color too keep clean that I've ever had. (I have had several white trucks and a bright blue one, so this is my first dark color in a long time)...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'm not claiming you're wrong (in fact, you're probably right)... But there's one thing that doesn't appear to be included in your thinking: residual value. The ED costs more up front, but it retains some of that value a handful of years later when you sell the truck. This will effectively...
