    80mm Throttle Body

    I guess I should've clarified, what's the OE ID (inside diameter), but by the photos, I'm guessing something like 70-72 mm if the wall thickness is around 5-6mm. I'll check out the thread, thanks!

    80mm Throttle Body

    Neat - what's the OE diameter? Hows the custom intake system look?

    RMT Overland

    Thanks for posting that, always good to see new ideas on the market! I think the Mr.T's-Haircut roof racks are growing on me, the side profile is nice, the front could use a lightbar to break up the flatness

    Carpeted Wheel Wells

    my .02 if you look into how sound deadening works, the frequencies you're hoping to cancel for road noise are on the lower/bass spectrum. I'd bet a square patch about 1/3rd the size of the wheel house applied to the largest flat area (middle section) would cut a huge amount of sound by not...

    Whats the first car you drove/learned to drive on?

    Great question - thanks for the memories! '69 Super Beetle - my dad called on his brick motorola phone to tell me to look outside .. he was rolling up in a $500 more-rust-than-paint beetle that we got to work on together for a bit... I can still smell the paint after all these years

    My CB Install

    Old technology replaced by older technology haha, love it! (I'm a Ham myself, so I can see doing the same thing perhaps). Where'd you mount your antenna? *EDIT* man! posted near the same time

    Map Update availability

    Hey I get the frustration - and echo this 1000% it might even shame all automakers into actually updating their maps and would enlighten buyers before purchasing their '2019' that the maps are '2014'... which, my '14 acura has what, '12 maps and no AAuto/Carplay... now that's annoying to have no...

    Map Update availability

    I hope you do all of the above to raise awareness of the issue - I agree it's ridiculous that built-in maps in vehicles are always outdated. That said, if this is your first vehicle with built-in Nav, then I can understand why you're upset. I'm on my 4th or so vehicle that had nav options and...

    Shell rotella gas truck oil

    came here to post this video - Project Farm does some good independent tests; Amazon Basics oil was a big surprise also.

    2020 ram wobble

    If you want to be taken more seriously, post up more details (ie speed, driving conditions, wheel/tire combo, current mileage etc) Maybe you should.

    Inexpensive bed mat for RamBox

    Got one of these at my local feed store - they make an 8' one also Bulletproof and thick enough to toss metal w/o any worry of dents etc

    1st oil change was a PITA!

    Since this thread is alive again - anyone considered an oil filter relocation kit? Yes, there's another thread out there, but it's been dead long enough not to resurrect it, thought i'd see if anyone in this group has considered/done it

    Exhoust Electric Cutout installed and sound

    Someone tell me how impractical this is - I'd like the sound/fumes of a cutout to exit the tailpipes. I know that valved exhausts exist, however the base 'quiet' exhaust on a valved system is still louder than OEM (and for the sake of my passengers, I probably need to stick to OEM volume)...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I wonder if scoring the bottom or even a clean cut (bandsaw?) with a flexible hinge of waterproof material (like the strips used for a Tri-Fold cover like Lomax) would keep the floor protection while allowing an easy flip-up that doesn't snap back at you

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Interesting... makes sense to save from leaving fingerprints on the edge (though I have clear edge guard), but do you have protectant behind the holes in the rings? or are your nails eventually going to leave scratches there similar to how they occur in door cups? ... dude. Mine were...

    Electric parking brake issues

    Note to self - that's a good idea (it's on Auto for now)

    Another really inane feature...(Tire Fill Alerts Disabled)

    Clearing two things up from above - 1. the TPMS sensors are battery operated - there's no charging while in motion 2. The TPMS Sensors 'sleep' when no motion is detected to save battery life 3. the Sensors will transmit PSI data 'live' to the dash if they're awake after a drive - that's how...

    Another really inane feature...(Tire Fill Alerts Disabled)

    I haven't even seen that option on the Rebel 8.4 setup - all my imports had the feature though. Will have to check the build sheet

    Theft deterent?

    hidden kill switches are great for after someone gets into your ride; but something to keep them out might be aftermarket alarm leds or even a keypad like this - granted if someone wants to take a vehicle, overriding this isn't impossible either *edit* one alarm system add-on I heard helped was...

    What's the No. 1 thing that disappointed you the most about your truck ?

    So I finally settled on 'one' thing I strongly dislike after a year of ownership - the hokey programming of the system - this covers pretty much all electronic parts which seem to be a consensus of 'failed attempts' I deactivated rear braking because it's a joke the stereo glitches often. but...
