    Throttle controllers...

    I've used several different pedal controllers, and I prefer the Banks unit. It's not the cheapest, but it's pretty much the same price as the Pedal Commander many people recommend. The thing you need to know about throttle controllers is most are powered by the throttle pedal connector. This...

    I resisted until the moment I drove this limited

    Compared to an 05, even a current Tradesman would feel like a huge leap forward.

    What is the main reason for the sluggish feel?

    If you suspect the aftermarket intake is causing at least some of this why not stick the stock intake back on and see if there is a difference in how it feels to you? The stock intake is a factory CAI. If you are pulling in air from the hot engine bay you are doing nothing to help the engine...

    BFG KO2s getting louder?

    Try rotating your tires and see if the sound changes at all. Or even try swapping the front left tire with the spare and check the sound.

    Highway driving is bad or is it the roads?

    The 2020 Laramie did have the ORG (Off Road Group). In fact the ride quality of her Rebel is part of why I upgraded from the 2017 Rebel I had at the time to the 2020 Laramie. My point is that ride quality in the Rebel should be better than the OP is describing. If it’s not the roads there’s a...

    Highway driving is bad or is it the roads?

    It’s either the roads you’re driving on or you have a problem with your truck. My daughter’s 2019 Rebel rode nearly as well as any of the three 5th gens we’ve owned (2020 Limited, 2020 Laramie, 2021 Limited).

    ram boxes

    That seems to be pretty common. Most of the people who say they don’t like/want them have never had them. I used to be one of those people.

    ram boxes

    People like what they like. Personally, I won't buy a Ram 1500 without the Rambox option. Every Ram 1500 we've owned since 2009 has had them. It would be like buying pants with no pockets at this point LOL.

    oil drain plug and gasket

    I swapped the drain plug for a Fumoto valve. Works fine for me. https://www.fumotousa.com/f106sx.html

    5.7 etorque starter dead without warning, does this sound right?

    Did you add it to the cart? The price is shown as $197.58 for the new starter, but when I added it to the cart the price changed to $272.58 because of the $75 core charge. Add in shipping and it's over $300. Not sure if you can turn the old one in at a local dealership for a core refund or if...

    K&N or SB Filters cold air intake

    I did that on several 4 barrel cars I've owned. I loved hearing the secondaries open up at wot. :D

    Was the wrong coolant added?

    You have that backwards. Our Ram trucks (2013 and up) use OAT, which is dex-cool compatible. OP will be fine using that.

    2021 Ram 5.7 etorque water pump replacement

    Check the internet for videos. I'd be surprised if there's nothing out there on replacing the water pump.

    Etorque Sensitivity

    That was just one of many videos that are out there. There are also Mopar videos out there which say basically the same thing but I wasn't able to find them in my quick search. You're free to search on your own if you don't like that one. I get what you're saying. I misunderstood what you...

    Why Ram Brought Back the V8 Engine

    Thanks for posting that but I didn't need a video to tell me Ram brought the Hemi back because they were losing their a$$es (because they dropped it in the first place). And of course MSNBC had to push the EV narrative at the end of a video titled "Why RAM Brought Back The V-8 Engine".

    Fly and Ship to Avoid Tariff?

    Audi dropped this as well. Two years ago were going to purchase a car from Audi, fly over to pick it up at the factory in Germany, and use it for a vacation through Europe instead of renting a car. Then ship it home. I've talked to people who have done this and I thought it sounded like a...

    rust spots around antennae

    Agreed, looks like rail dust.
