I agree with this. I personally don't mind going this route but I'd prefer just to get a new hook. Like you said though, those links hold some serious weight.

I just need to find one that fits that isn't absurdly oversized for what I am towing lol

Will they fit through the hitch? Not my favorite way to go about it but I guess it can work.

I think it's normal. I can try the defrost later but on auto mod, once it switches to any sort of heating, it directs heat to the floor. I believe the premise (and I am not being sarcastic), is heat rises. I think with the defrost it doesn't direct all of the air entirely to the windows. It...

Same. Had a JGC, no issues. I really would hate to have to go with pear shaped or standard quick links.

Well, I agree, should be hooked from the bottom up but I can't because the spring keeper won't retain around the hitch. I always cross like you said. Do you have a pic of which hook you are using? This would really help. Like I said, I just can't get the spring clip to engage around the hitch.

I dunno man. I consider myselt a pretty smart person and I cannot seem to get the spring clip/keeper to engage around the hitch. Am I missing something here? It's not about the time, I just can't get the keeper to engage. I really don't even care about buying a new end hook/clip. I just prefer...

It's been an ongoing issue it seems. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/safety-chains.21757/

Possibly. Interestingly, enough, seems like Chevy/GM/Ford all did the same thing. See below. It's just slightly annoying I might have to buy these additional "shackles" to hook the safety chain hook to. Shackles or hooks? I might be mistaken in saying "shackles" but I have the below hooks...

The kit itself is only $65? I guess the rest of what they charge to replace in the dealer is labor?

Does nothing. I am not saying it's right but if someone is stealing your truck/car, you leave your home to confront them with a firearm, and then shoot them? You're not going to need your truck because you're going to jail. Maybe in like 2-3 states you may get away with it. Even then, you'll be...

Anyone have any luck finding shackles to fit the early 5th gen hitch like below? I know it sounds dumb but it would make me feel a little better knowing I have the shackle locking all the way into the hitch.

I am severely OCD (actually, serious, not joking) and I debated this lol

I definitely sympathize with some of those things. However, these are like as basic as it comes. Granted, the original design and/or bolts they use suck. However, it's like basically the same principal design since the muscle car era of the 1960's and maybe even older. But yes, there is a...

How we ended up in this spot in 2023 is beyond me. We're 3 years post-COVID. Workforce is (for the most part) back to work. How there is a shortage or rudimentary metal exhaust manifolds is beyond me.

I find it super funny that the pic/video on their site is actually of them using it on a 5.7L. You can see the steering rack. Thanks Mopar lol. I might have to get one of these.

I believe that's what I was thinking of. I know many years ago I had been using Mobil 1 religiously thinking it was full synthetic but then being really disappointed when I realized it was not. This is good info. I'm keeping an eye on it just for the simple fact its a common known issue. The...

Eject lever. JK, jack knob for jacking the truck up.

Well if that's the case, it did nothing for the hemi tick. So we can put that to rest lol.

You might be right. Back a couple years ago, it was in-fact not. It was "synthetic blend." Now the new one is "Advanced Full Synthetic."
