    Built to serve - Suspension

    Sounds correct, it's supposed to be 1" taller than stock.

    33X12.50X20 on stock Black Rims

    Milestar Patagonia are complete garbage, especially if you plan to take them offroad. Maybe they will hold up ok on the street, but here's what can happen when you take them wheeling. The tread starts coming off. Seen this on multiple offroad vehicles in CA.

    33X12.50X20 on stock Black Rims

    275/60/20 seem to be the most trouble free size to run 33's. I haven't decided if I'm going to stick with 20" or go to 18". If I stick with 20", that's the size I'm going to get (no lift or level). Might try to get a set of Rebel 1" suspension take offs (or BTS). I like that height. Other sizes...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    Subscribing because this is happening to me when it's hot out in my '23. Most of the time I can't listen to USB on my ride home. So there's no other ports in the truck that might work when it's hot out? I'll try to get them to replace the usb hub when I take it in for it's first service. I'm...

    USB Audio - Not remembering last song played

    Update on my system: I had an amp, sub, and line converter installed and now it oddly will stay on the same track I leave it on. It often loses that I had it on random, but I'll take it. Not perfect though, because now I HAVE TO leave it on USB, or it will lose it's place. So if I am playing a...

    Can you help me with my Jeep?

    I would look for a driveline shop in your area. Call them and see if they can fix it. Many can rebuild a driveshaft. If you can't find one and want to order a new one, I would get one from Tom Woods. I just received a new custom DS for my 06 wrangler, it was $339. They would just need the...

    Sad times, 2450 layoffs coming to the Warren plant.

    I also don't really see the need to have two trucks that are so similar. Makes sense to eliminate the classic. With inflation during the Biden term and post Covid, makes sense that less people want to commit to a new truck. I bought a fairly no frills new 2023 about four months ago and the...

    Truck Bed Slots

    My previous truck was an F150 with a nice spray on bed liner, nothing yet for the Ram. I had a 2X6 cut for the similar slots and it's too short (only by an inch or two). Just checking to see if it fits put some new scratches back there. Since 2X6's are now more expensive than they used to be...

    Shifter Autocorrect

    I do this at least a few times per week in the morning when I get to work and haven't had my coffee yet... The most annoying part is when it goes to ACC mode. If you hit the start button again just once, the truck starts up. If you hit it twice fast, it will shut off. I don't mind the...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    One of the Facebook groups I belong to is great for 5th gen audio: 5th Gen Ram Audio Upgrades Though they get a little snobby sometimes haha. The favorite boxes on there are the Fox boxes: FOX ACOUSTICS LLC Lots of options for single sub, double, ported, sealed, etc. I was tempted to get one...

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    Most will want the 5' 7" bed. Especially if you've never had a truck before and not using it for work. I'm on my 3rd truck and always get the shorter bed. Just easier to get into parking spaces, backing out, parallel parking, etc. For the most part, if you don't have a need for the larger bed, I...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I got my amp and sub done yesterday at a local reputable shop. I ended up getting: Infinity Kappa Five (5 ch) amp JL 12" 12W1V3 - Downfiring sealed enclosure Wavetech Link6 Previously installed by me: 4X Infinity Reference REF697F 2X Infinity Reference REF307F Very happy with how it turned...

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    The B&O system in my wife's 2019 Expedition is actually pretty nice. Best OEM audio system I've ever heard. If my Ram sounded like that, don't think I'd replace it with aftermarket. One thing that I've always found interesting: B&O, Bose, HK and many of the others don't make aftermarket car...

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    Alright, popped it's 4WD cherry this morning on the way to work. Nothing exploded lol.

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    That sounds like a good time to do this. I'll have to remember to do that when it's raining. That makes sense. I'll start doing this. I've had it for 4 months and haven't hit that button yet.

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    For an OEM system, it's pretty good. My wife has the B&O system in her Expedition and that sounds pretty good as well. I bought my '23 new 4 months ago. I was looking at deals on the leftover '23's in the area. Had to choose between one with the Alpine system and no tow package, or one with tow...

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    To those that are doing this: Are you doing it on dirt (not pavement)? It's not good to engage 4WD on dry pavement. I've had mine 4 months and haven't taken it off road yet. I have a Jeep for that.

    Ram Rifle (custom rifle)

    Saw this on Facebook. Someone made themselves a custom rifle. Pretty sick!

    Gen5 RAM subwoofer replacement - Pioneer shallow or harman kardon from laramie?

    More info in this thread: Base 6 speaker upgrade options? I haven't done it yet. Debating whether I want to do it myself, or pay to have it done. PAC makes connectors to add amps or just subs. PAC – Connecting cars and technology. Your total installation solution.
