    275/60 or 285/60

    My 21 Bighorn with Bilsteins leveled in front rubbed with 285/60r20 10 plys and weld fortress wheels until I used heat gun to flatten liner. Comes out to 33.5. I think wheels are 10 wide.

    Eco mode mds tick

    Ping is whole different thing, I would run premium to make sure and some good fuel system cleaner at 2x recommended dose. Rislone 4732 32oz is cheap and does good job, I put 20 gallons in tank and run about 16oz of the Rislone, can feel difference after tank gets near empty. Plus will clean...

    Eco mode mds tick

    If audible when driving I would think exhaust manifold again or oil used. On my 05 5.7 Durango, 13 Ram 5.7 with MDS and 21 5.7 I have now, never hear any tick. Could be from type oil. I've always used in hemi engines need/like moly, penzoil ultra platnium and 8oz lubeguard biotech to add extra...

    2021 ram 1500 6 speaker upgrade

    My 2021 DT Bighorn Base 6 speaker uses 6514, was built Dec 2020. Infinity or JBL in rear sound good, both are about same or are(same company) just get ones in lowest ohm like 2.3. I have jbl 3 way GX series. Front, I had infinity 3.5s in for a week, wasn't liking them, in previous Ram with...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Maybe as a temporary fix, if you find where leak is, use some butyl tape to stop leak, warm it up and will stick forever. Is cheap, same stuff people use to seal rv roofs. Could put water with some color in it to see leak better or tape top and put pump on it to pressurize it a little so leaks...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    When buying a new house in 2021 my first no was a hoa. No way I would ever live in hoa. Found nice homes in hoa, but too many rules makes you feel like it is not your own, is almost like renting. Ended up buying a farm house on 2.5 acres in a rural seperation area. Can have cows, chickens, goats...

    Which Oil Should I Purchase (Canada)

    In my 05 5.7 Durango and 2013 qc Ram 1500 5.7 always used Penz Ultra Platnium, with 8 oz of Lubeguard Boitech, they also sell same stuff for cheaper in different packaging called lubeguard heavy duty. The hemi likes higher moly levels in oil. For long time only using Puraltor boss 20k oil...

    Question about subwoofer box

    Sucks, not many options, seen cheap $120 american sound sealed dual box, a $400 nicer upfiring dual 10 with port, but is 2.2cf airspace. I would like to find a single 10 or 12 ported box around 2cf. I had more options with my 13 Ram quad cab. I don't want a slim sub.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I did use the 6514 speaker connectors and were correct. I double verified. Cool part about the infinity amp is it can be used as a stand alone dsp, when I do have a sub and another amp, I can use the rca sub outputs on the infinity and set everything up on the dsp, only need to run a wire to...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I didn't know that. My last Ram had the alpine system. The infinity amps dsp has clipping indicator and each channel has a gain. Just finished installing the kenwood 6x9s, so all speakers done. Initial thoughts it sounds much better, so much misinformation, people say get the metra 6515, but...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    Ended up getting the Kenwood 6x9 3.5 component set. Still need to install the kenwoods in the front doors. I wired up a infinity dsp amp, found one factory refurbished for $79, so thought, might as well try it. If I decide not to use it as a amp, It works as a line driver and has outputs for...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Removed puck and put Bilstein 5100s on a couple weeks ago. Then got rub, so been out today with a heat gun, etc giving clearance. Did not rub when puck was on, but was inch higher, I wanted about 1 inch lower in front to help squat when towing, the bilsteins in front have one notch it can go up...
