The factory TRX tires make it wider. If you put the factory Rebel tires on those wheels, with the 1.5" spacers, it'll look much better. My truck has the factory 275-70 18 on the TRX wheels. The extra width of the TRX tires really stick out.

There's another issue of a clunk going over speed bumps or wash board terrain. I resolved that issue by replacing the 4 body mounts under the A and B pillars. The parts cost was less than $100, including shipping and took less than 30 minutes to replace. I've tried making the clunk happen by...

It could also be the way your seat is set up. I never had any issues in any vehicle so I thought the same thing when I got my Rebel. It turns out the lower seat cushion angle was causing me issues. I had the front up and the rear down and my back was killing me. After someone mentioned I...

Check your lower control arm bolts. After my alignment, I found the LCA bolt on the driver side was loose and the truck was creaking when going over uneven drives. I tightened it up and the creaking went away. Like yours, my truck was fine after the level, but started making noise after the...

Since the OP used his own insurance to fix the truck, hit and run, he'd be filing the loss against his own insurance company. In theory, loss is loss and insurance is supposed to make you whole again after damages, but the risk is also there that his premiums will increase enough to offset the...

You can't file diminished value claims against your own insurance company. Since you said it was a hit n run, your insurance fixed your vehicle, even though they weren't the responsible party. You should check your state laws, but most states don't allow diminished value against your own...

Well, I hope he doesn't bring back the same Hemi we've had for so many years now. There's no reason we can't have a new Hemi. There's no reason the 5.7L should be getting 13-15mpg in 2024. Technology has proven that the V8 can do so much better, so a new Hemi design that gets low 20's would...

Welcome to the RAM world.

Sounds like you have it all set. The only recommendation I have is to also replace the sway bar end links. Since they connect to the LCA, raising the front end puts the sway bar with the factory links at the wrong angle. The new end links are longer to reach the new height of the truck.

It was when the instrument cluster was tested at the factory and run up over the speed limiter number for full sweep testing. There are posts from years ago with people getting salesmen fired by claiming that their new truck, with less than 25 miles on it, was driven up to 120mph. And, doing a...

Is this FrankieRider from Thirdgen.org?

Ok, I drove about 65 miles towards Tampa yesterday and the lights came on again. I stopped at Lakeland Dodge to see if they could tell me if I have a code. The service writer didn't tell me any codes came up, but gave me a printout stating that I have the ABS module recall that needs to be...

Here's the fixes that others have done to remove noises over uneven terrain. Steering assembly replacement for grinding/vibration when turning upper and lower control arm bolts tightened replace the sway bar end links and/or bushings Tighten the top bolt on the front shocks Verify the brake...

They do install from the top. So, what if you fabricated the larger bin with a detachable top lip? You could install the bin from underneath and screw the top lip from inside. So, it would now be a 2 piece install rather than a 1 piece from the top only install. I mean, since you're...

So, you're saying that the wave is to say "Nice Truck" to a passing RAM? What if it isn't a nice truck? I could understand a wave, a real wave and not some hand signal/gesture type thing, if you saw an old truck and you were in an old truck, to just acknowledge the old truck thing, but waving...

Lately, it seems I've been waving the middle finger when driving around Orlando. Not sure it's a RAM thing though. :D

I have a coworker from the UK. He comes to the US regularly and always asks for a V8 pickup as his rental vehicle. I think there are some in Europe that see what they don't have access to. They don't have the infrastructure in many parts of Europe to support a big truck. They can support the...

I've had the alert come and go many times now and it just cleared again last week. I removed the cover behind the rear view mirror, cleaned the windshield and then also cleaned the lens on the module. After about 30 miles, it cleared. Stayed cleared for a week, then came on for a week and now...

@PurpleRT, are you referring to the front or rear when discussing the 5100s? It almost sounds like you're referencing the front. I agree 100% that the proper way to lift the front is with the 5100s, 6112s, or something designed for front level. But, you responded when I mentioned a 1" rear...

What's not right about adding a block? Trucks get blocks for lifts with leaf springs all the time. The block goes under the rear spring giving the lift. It doesn't change the spring in any way. It just lift the lower mount for the spring up. If the stock shock has the travel to accept that...
