    Clay bar how often?

    Thanks for the advise. I've been using meguiars carnibua wax for 20+ years but my wife got me a ceramic spray. Going to try that. The paint doesn't feel too rough now but thought I might clay it again before applying the ceramic. Just didn't know of there's such as thing as claying too much.

    Clay bar how often?

    Clay barred my truck last summer - first time ever doing that. Getting ready for a wax and I'd like to claybar again before waxing. Is that too soon? For those that clay bar, how frequently?

    Unpopular opinion(?): I like the 4th gen styling better than 5th gen

    I am rhe opposite of you. My 2019 is my first Ram and I love the look of it. I didnt own a Ram before the 5th gen because I didnt like the front end styling.

    Exhaust leak anyone

    I brought my 2019 to the dealer suspecting a cracked manifold on the passwnger side because i could hear the tick. They determined it needed to be replaced, along with the drivers side and informed me when done that the front sway bar links had also been replaced because they needed. I didn't...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Im thinking about installing this muffler. Any problems with rusted bolts? I have one bolt broken off in the front flange. Not sure how I'm going to remove that. In the rear you had to cut the pipe I assume?

    Rear spacers or Air bags decision?

    I dont carry heavy payloads often but I certainly want to be able to. I'm thinking adding the 1" lift in the rear may bring it close to level when adding a load. That might not even be enough though. Might sag more than an inch. So it crossed my mind to install the Airlift airbags inside the...

    Rear spacers or Air bags decision?

    This is how she looks now. Adding 1" of rake may not look too bad?

    I think I do like the 1" of rake!

    Rear spacers or Air bags decision?

    Thank you! This helps a lot. I have a Laramie with the sport hood (same as Rebel?), which sometimes can make it look nose high. Comparing to the look of a Rebel is even more helpful than with a regular hood.

    Rear spacers or Air bags decision?

    Rear spacers or Air bags decision?

    I have a 2" front level to allow room for larger tires and because I didn't like how low to the ground the front was. It looks and drives great, except when I pull a medium to heavy load. When starting level it doesn't take much for the rear sag to make me nose high. I'm trying to decide between...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I went with the same but gloss. Kinda wish I had done mat because the gloss show so many water spots after washing. Other than that I really like them. Simplest install ever.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I recently had a local dealer price out a Laramie and a Bighorn as if a new order. They provided both MSRP and Invoice. Invoice runs around 92% to 94%.

    Gas mileage of a 2021 ram 1500 5.7

    I believe idle time may count in that equation too. If that truck is truly doing 10 mpg in mixed "normal" driving there is something seriously wrong with it. Anywhere from 13 to 17 seems about average for what I've seen on this forum. I'm in Wisconsin. Got around 14 this winter and now it's...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I believe they are made in China. I read an article recently about CFMoto dealers and US manufacturers such as Polaris lobbying about unfair tariffs in the trade agreement. US govt proposing to lower tariffs on the CFMoto. Polaris is pissed off some of their parts and materials come from China...
