    Gale Banks responds: pedal monster vs pedal commander

    If you wanted to know why the banks pedal monster is superior in every way to the pedal commander, watch below. Gale Banks has a very funny response to some marketing from PC, little dramatic but its all truth and a great watch. Nobody should be driving with the pedal commander if you value your...

    TazerDT HDMI input: anyone add a trailer cam to uconnect?

    I just saw this hdmi av kit from TazerDT. From what I can see, it allows you to plug in any hdmi source and have it appear full screen as an option in the 8.4 UC, instead of viewing the backup cam you can view the hdmi source. So that got me thinking, is there any way of running a (preferably...

    Preferred engine choice: 6.4 SRT or 3.0 turbo or...

    I'm curious. Two of these options aren't coming anymore or ever will, but theoretically if you could purchase anyone of these engines tomorrow with at most a $2000 surcharge over the 5.7, which would you pick?

    LED's and Projectors: morimoto, vland oem etc

    I've never been happy with the headlights in my truck. It came with halogens, I upgraded to Morimoto XB Hybrid (gen 2, not the more expensive Morimotos). After using these for a year, I'm not happy with the light output. My issue is that there is a very sharp cutoff line; below it you get lots...

    Disabling DRL's in Canadian trucks

    I upgraded my lights from halogen to morimoto xb hybrid led's. These come with their own bright white accent strips serving as DRL's, and so I need to turn off the DRL's on my Ram because otherwise the morimoto headlights will flicker on and off several times. In USA you guys have the setting...

    Swapped out my halogen's for Morimoto Hybrid

    These are the LED's our trucks should have come with IMHO. I ordered my truck with the halogens but wanted to upgrade to LED's because I was getting tired of the low light output. Much nicer now. these are the cheaper Morimoto's, these are "hybrid" not "XB". They are called hybrid because they...

    adding oem air suspension

    Anybody done it? I kind of regret not getting it. I factory ordered my truck and was concerned about keeping my payload up for my travel trailer, but I ended up getting more payload then I need lol and now I'm wondering what it costs to add it back in. I'm guessing it would be cheaper to add...

    Bought tires, now I'm worried.

    I bought new tires. Originals were 275/65 R18 116T Replacements are 275/55 R 20 113T. They are Michelin Defender LTX M/S. So I went from an 18" inch rim to a 20" rim, which is fine. Bought new rims as well. But I just realized I dropped from a 116 T to a 113 T, and I'm not sure how that is...

    Ram, please give us the 6.4!

    They just put the 6.4/392 into the Jeep Wrangler of all things. I'm happy for them, but I would love to have the 6.4 in my 5th gen too. Why do they keep us out of all the fun? 470 HP and 470 lb/ft of torque would be a great option to have for guys like me who want a nicer towing experience...

    sumo springs - little review

    I haven't seen much information on this forum regarding these helper springs. I have a trailer + WDH that is sitting level, but the stock shocks feel to bouncy while driving, and the bounce is what I'm trying to reduce, not trying to carry more than my payload. So I purchased the sumo springs...

    hellwig swaybar and towing

    I have a Hellwig swaybar, and it has the 3 settings to control stiffness. Just wondering what other members here are doing for towing larger loads, is it better to have it on the softest setting or the stiffest? My guess is the stiffest setting, but wondering because when I go over a bump in...

    Kia, incredible mpg

    My parents have a 2019 Kia Forte with the CVT transmission. It's daily driven, pretty much all rural/highway, I've seen it better than this but thought I'd share it with the forum to give us all something to dream about. Incredible what they can eke out just standard gas engines these days...

    Is the Hemi truly flawed by design?

    This guy does some detective work and sort of confirms what rumours have been floating around; the cam shaft is starved of oil, especially at low rpms (<= 1500). Lots of idling kills the cam + lifters. The cam is only getting sufficient oil when the RPMS spin up and fling oil around. I'm...

    ran my hemi hard today, she did NOT like it

    I'm kinda worried about the ole girl. I was getting onto the freeway and there was a short onramp and lots of traffic so I leaned into it pretty hard and fast. It revved up and downshifted as normal, but it really made a loud crackling noise for a few seconds while it was at 3000 to 5000 rpms...

    what is this ticking noise?

    Anybody know what that ticking + high-pitched squeaking sound is? I'm hearing it in my engine and it's kind of driving me crazy.

    minor annoyace with auto park brake

    I recently discovered that the park brake can be automatically set whenever shifting to park. That's awesome, love that. However, when that's enabled and I shift to Park, the truck "dings" and flashes a message on the dash saying "park brake is automatically being set". I can handle the message...

    replica wheels from ebay

    I'm thinking of maybe getting some replica wheels off of ebay. Anybody have a (preferably informed!) opinion on those wheels? Is it all cheap junk made in China that will disintegrate on the freeway (kidding) or any other dangers or problems like hard to balance them or whatever?

    anyone else's bed move independently from the truck?

    Was going over a bumpy road the other day, and happened to look out my drivers side mirror; noticed the very back of the box/bed was sort of wiggling independently from the cab. Is this normal? I don't mean they're going in separate directions, not that bad, but definitely noticable on larger...
