    Beamer wave, Jeep ducks, Ram ….?

    Why do you need to wave at strangers? I don't get the idea that because you own a specific product that you're part of a group or a gang.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    One month after applying the Avalon King to my wife's car, a bird crapped on the trunk lid. Less than 30 minutes after that, I hosed it off. The trunk had marring where the crap was sitting and it would not come off with a clay bar or even compound. I had to wet sand the trunk of a brand new...

    Aggressive Stance

    The spacer that I mentioned above was rear spring spacer for lift. You can remove the wheel studs and install longer studs, but I don't see the point. Taking the wheel off and retorquing after 100 or so miles in big deal. You shouldn't have to retorque them after that unless you remove them.

    Plus, I got the 1" spacers for $40. But, as mentioned, the shocks will allow for 1" additional travel, but don't provide any lift.

    Mysterious clunk and squeak in my 5th gen ram

    There's body flex over bumps or anything. The body mount design shown in the post I linked to shows that the upper 1/2 of the body mounts are part of the issue. Mine would clunk going over a speed bump straight on. The TRX owner was driving down a washboard trail. Replacing only the bottom...

    Aggressive Stance

    My garage door is a lowly 7' tall and I park in the garage every day without any issues at all. In Florida, we also have additional hurricane bracing on our garage doors that hang down into the opening if the door doesn't go high enough when opened, and I still have no issues. I have the 5100s...

    Mysterious clunk and squeak in my 5th gen ram

    Did you replace only the lower body mounts? Or, did you replace the entire body mount, including the top?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I used Avalon King ceramic coating 3 years ago and it lasted about 6 months. I need to do more on the paint correction as I noticed clay bar marring in the finish that my compound/polish didn't address. So I need new chemicals and will be doing this again. Then I "might" use Cquartz if I...

    TRX Takeoffs on 275/65R18

    Thanks for clarifying that, firemedic. I only responded to the fact that the tires will fit the rims, but didn't elaborate on the rest. As mentioned, I'm running stock tires on TRX wheels, but I also have 1.5" spacers and the Bilstein 5100 level.

    Do the Bilstein 5100 front end level on clip 4, or clip 5 with a 1" rear block, and add the 1.5" spacers and the truck will look very nice.

    Crickets!!

    Check the brake pad clips. There are many posts around this issue. I removed my pads and put high temp grease all over the clips and I've had no issues for many thousands of miles.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not just a today thing, a weekend thing for me, but did a complete paint correction, polish and detail job on my truck to celebrate it's 4th birthday.

    Back window leaks that leads to more problems than solutions

    Sometimes you need to address fixes on your own to be sure they are done correctly. There are many posts on how to fix the 3rd brake light and the rear window leak. At this point, you need to fight with the dealership to fix any mold/mildew that could be in the carpet and fix the electronics...

    My son has a Volvo and my wife drives an Audi. The Volvo windshield had a crack across it and cost insurance $2600. My wife's Audi has two chips in it and I got a quote for replacement and it came in at $2800. Here's the breakdown: Labor $399.99 Calibrations for vehicles with adaptive...

    How to replace body mounts... Procedure video?

    It's very easy to do. You need to loosen the front 6 mounts, the 4 front cab mounts and the two up front. After you loosen them to give the cab room to move, remove the two cab bolts on one side and use a jack to lift the body off the frame on that side only somewhere around the b pillar area...

    Mysterious clunk and squeak in my 5th gen ram

    I think I know your fix. I had a clunk over speed bumps that had me thinking bushings, sway bar endlinks, shocks bottoming out, etc. The fix was very inexpensive and easy to do. Another member here found a new TRX owner that fought with their dealer over a clunk when driving on rough trails...

    TRX Takeoffs on 275/65R18

    Wheels don't fit on tires so I'm not sure what you're asking here. Your factory tires will fit the TRX wheels just fine. They aren't a recommended size as the wheel itself is 9" now, so the 275 is "officially" not supported. I have been driving with the factory 275s on TRX wheels for over 2...

    Front-End Clunk/Rattle - 2020 Ram Rebel

    Another clunk in the front end that has recently been found is related to the body mounts. A few of us get a clunk over uneven roads, going over speed bumps, etc. There's a couple posts now with new part numbers to replace the 4 front body mounts. This resolved my clunk observed since new.

    Which Lift/Level?

    I may need a new pic. I thought that was taken after the rear block, but it could be before. The driveway makes it look like it's sagging still
