    Black lugs: which did you buy.???

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/24-Pc-2019-20-DODGE-RAM-1500-BLACK-OEM-TYPE-SOLID-LUG-NUTS-14x1-50-1709DBK-/392122246552?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 I bought these... 2 sets actually. Currently out of stock so you may need to ask if they'll come back in stock, or find an equivalent. They are very...

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    Yeah I've read/watched that marketing info but as far as I can tell it's outright BS. How does one tune a system to a genre of music? Maybe there are certain nuances to EQ, but the bass being completely screwed up even when listening to country music doesn't seem like it hit the mark to me LOL.

    2021 Ram improved dash speakers?

    You can for a few hundred bucks and hours of work. My advice though, just unplug it for free with 5 minutes of work.

    Clear Film or ceramic coat?

    As mentioned, each does something different. You will never need to PPF the entire truck, unless you are going to otherwise beat the crap out of the paint (off-roading, poor washing technique or brush auto washes) and want to keep it nice. I'd at least PPF the front bumper (if painted) and the...

    Do I have to carry the key everywhere?

    You can lock the fob inside the truck with Sirius/Uconnect Guardian, no faraday bag required. Truck can tell if the fob is inside or outside the cab, so people can't just walk up and unlock the truck by touching the handle. But, that's not secure (equipped thieves can just clone the fob signal)...

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    Glad to hear it's improved for you guys. I took the hard route, to not much benefit, prior to knowing that the 6x9s can function decently by themselves. Spent several hours installing a PAC interface, amp, and running wires to feed the factory sub with a clean signal (didn't want to lose any...

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    You don't have to remove carpet or anything. It's a 5 minute job to disconnect the plug. Release the rear seatbacks using the string behind them (only applies to reclining seats I believe). Pop the 4 (?) plastic clips to release the rear wall carpet, and tug at the passenger side corner to pull...

    Limited Leather dash delamination.

    I've never seen any extended "warranty" that covers trim or cosmetic issues. If you're still under 3/36 warranty, it's covered. Otherwise you'll have to fight for FCA or your dealer to goodwill it.

    What fuel for 5.7

    Make your own (if you have the patience). Guesstimate how many gallons you need to fill the tank, then fill half with 91 and half with 87... takes a minute longer to do, but saves a bit of money vs pure 91 and gets you to 89. Always fill with 91 first though... otherwise you lose some 91...

    What fuel for 5.7

    I love Costco and almost exclusively fill our vehicles with their fuel because it's cheap, good, and fresh... but there in no way increasing octane by 2 points raised your MPG that much. Other factors were at play. If you use their Citi Visa, indeed. Only downside is you get the cash back once...

    eTorque impact on mpg

    The RAM engineer in Matt Maran's video awhile back claimed 1.7 ounces of fuel is burned in 90 seconds with a HEMI... so 1.3 ounces per minute. He also claims "most" people are stopped for about 15 minutes per day. He must be taking an average including dense city folk who are in gridlock...

    Uconnect 5

    Definitely don't think it's worth waiting for at this point. Nobody knows what is happening with the screen - are they upgrading the 12", axing it completely for the 10" like the rest of the lineup, or just loading UC5 on the 12"? And what happened to Android Automotive (not your phone) which...

    Carpet cut short

    I've had a few of these trucks and they've all been like that unfortunately.

    Ventilated seats

    What? I thought RAM said they were adding vented seats and some other tech features to the Rebel for 2020 since it made no sense to leave those features out... weird they haven't made good on their word. I have had 0 issues with the factory wireless charger and think it works great (except for...

    New HEMI Etorque Hood Badging for 2021?

    Good grief that looks terrible, especially on the sport hood. I really hope they weren't stupid enough to put the blue font on trucks with black appearance packages. And you guys actually want that badge? Mind blown... and this is coming from a guy who has owned Tesla's and loves...

    Auto high beams are useless

    There is. It's in the housing with the camera. There's no way you could have ACC or emergency braking without some type of distance and speed measuring device.

    Tie rod Fell Off?

    Since when does Discount Tire do anything besides... tires and wheels?

    Anti-spin differential

    I've driven trucks with and without, haven't really noticed a huge difference. Traction control mimics it with braking the slipping wheel, but I'm not sure how effective that is compared to LSD. My rear wheels still spin pretty easy when wet even though I have LSD - if they're both spinning, LSD...

    2021 Ram 1500 Laramie vs 2021 GMC Sierra Denali

    How do you go from a Big Horn to a Denali? Not exactly equal price points there. Anyway, the Chevy/GM redesign was a failure. Whoever was in charge of that project was hopefully fired. They look and ride like a truck from a decade ago. RAM has raised the bar. If anything, a new F150 might be a...

    So this happened today.

    I agree it's the mower's fault for hitting the truck, but hanging your rear end out over the grass isn't cool either. Grass obviously needs mowed, and parking your rear over the grass/beyond the curb isn't worth the damage that you just experienced. But if you can't park further up without being...
