    Changing color of truck?

    Cost of a full repaint is Approx 6-8500.00 if done properly. That truck might look good with the Walnut lowers, ( Which they are not making yet in Longhorn) If you have the painted bumper group, repaint bumpers, wheel flares and lower doors, fender, box should be about 2500.00 to 3000.00

    Ticking noise when started cold, 2 seconds

    Thanks everyone for your input. I am going to dump the oil and change the filter. I have always run Mobile 1, so I hope this does the trick. I normally run then to 1000 miles and dump the oil and filer. Change again at 5000 miles and every 5000 after that. No math involved. I am still trying to...

    Yes it is the same inside dimensions. I did mount it the other night and make sure it is pulled back to almost touching the gate when closed. The front mount holes of the slider almost do not contact a flat surface and there is some bracing that I BARLEY missed when drilling the 1/2 inch holes.

    No Ram box, I have the regular 5.7 box because I installed a LEER topper.

    The slide I mentioned comes out 100% of the bed. Most slides only come out 70 %, I think the photo shows it fully extended. These things are awesome, would not have a pick-up without one. The XL after the model number gives it the full extension. Be careful when ordering that you get the same...

    Opinions on bed liners

    I have had mats, bedrugs and spray in liners. They all work good depending on your usage. I like having a topper but do not like crawling up and into the bed to retrieve all my stuff. So I installed a bedslide a few trucks back and really love it. This one is a Cargoglide CG1000XL and going into...

    2019 ram 1500 bed bolts

    OH NO, Are you going to have to cut a window in the bed rail to get at the nuts? Seems like a issue the factory should look into. Something that new should not have a RUSTY BOLT issue. Good luck.

    Factory Rims

    I had stopped a guy in the parking lot yesterday with a new limited and he had 20 chrome rims without the inserts. I asked if those were the rims he got with the truck, he said yes with a puzzled look on his face. I like the rims pictured and may have to swap out the rims I am getting. The...

    Longhorn two tone rugged brown/walnut

    I tried for two months ( 6 separate dealers ) to order a Longhorn in black with walnut two tone. I finally gave up and ordered black with the painted bumper option. Rumor has it there is a problem with adhesion of the walnut color. Must be a chemical issue with the paint supplier.

    Factory Rims

    The rims with the inserts are 22 and the non inserts are 20. Just saw set of 20 rims on a limited yesterday and was surprised. I did not know you could get the old school chromeys.

    Gas mileage on the 2019 5.7 hemi without etorque

    I ordered a 3:21 just for that reason. 392 is for towing or the drag strip. 4-6 miles per gallon difference. I am still waiting for my longhorn. 2-3 weeks out is the last I heard yesterday.
