    Whats the first car you drove/learned to drive on?

    71 Ford Galaxy 500 station wagon for me. Seems like it was about 30 feet long. Only drove that once at 14 when my parents didn't know i took it for a spin. At 16 when i had my license it was a 76 Jeep Cherokee 2 door. Rust bucket but I loved that beast

    Poor fuel mileage after new tires, a flowmaster 40 series exhaust, and a k&n air fliter?

    My experience with my 5.7 hemi was: larger, heavier, more aggressive tires lost 2-3 mpg. Rplaced stock muffler with Flowmaster Flow FX gained back about 1 mpg. Averaging around 17 mpg, although declining recently I believe from switching to winter blend fuels. I have not recalibrated the speedo...

    Best Muffler only swap?

    I installed the Flowmaster FX about a month ago. I believe it has the sound profile you're looking for, but price is approaching $400 everywhere I looked. Like you I didn't want the raspy sound. Look on YouTube for sound samples. There are A LOT of options, but under $200 will be tough.

    Out shopping used advice wanted please!

    I bought a 2019 used in Oct 2020 with 24k miles. Two years later it has 55k miles. Both exhaust manifolds have been replaced and that's it. That's not particular to just 2019's.

    Massive auto insurance increases.

    Yowza, some of the rates I'm hearing are bordering on unbelievable! How much difference does the state you're in make? I am insuring 4 vehicles - my 2019 Ram, wife's 2020 Kia Telluride, 23 year old son's 06 Toyota Corolla, and 16 year old son's 2012 Mazda 3. All for about $3600/year. Liability...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    First time I've ever done any aftermarket exhaust. I'm not used to being able to hear the exhaust at all. It's not too loud, or too quiet, and there's no drone. Just not sure I'm going like hearing it every time I push the gas pedal down. I will say that I'd like a deeper tone when cruising at...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Replaced stock muffler with Flowmaster Flow FX. It's not exactly what I was hoping for but maybe it will grow on me.

    Not impressed,pretty disappointed

    My 2019 also had a broken bolt on the flange where the muffler connects. The remaining part stayed in rhe muffler flange. Temporary fix was a c-clamp, but rather than drill out the old bolt I'm taking it as an opportunity to swap out the muffler for an aftermarket to take advantage of the 5.7...

    Leveling Kit with Stock Wheels & Tires

    I have mopar mudflaps front and back. I think that's where it rubs. Handles the tire size just fine, but as far as towing the only thing i pull any distance is a 5x8 utility trailer with an atv. So nothing heavy. MPGs run around 16. Been as high as 18 this summer. I don't feel too bad about that...

    Leveling Kit with Stock Wheels & Tires

    Only rubbing is at full **** in reverse and go over a bump. The ride is stii very smooth but I think the front feels like it has some roll with the lift. Others have suggested the hellwig rear sway bar may help that. I too am thinking of lifting the rear an inch. Either ORP springs or a spacer.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ive been paying $5 for a few years. They make you call them to cancel, each time I've called to cancel they've offered me the $5 price. I wouldn't pay more, it's probably not even worth that to me.

    Tailgate ajar light

    My 2019 Laramie does not have it, although my build sheet says it does. Dealer says didn't come with it (bought it used). This was before I obtained my build sheet, haven't been back to dealer since. I suspect I could turn it on with Alpha OBD.

    all weather floor mats for crew cab with the in-floor storage bins?

    I like that they cover the sill plate. My OEM do not. They butt up to the sill ans make a collection point for debris.
