    Channel under seat - what?

    I'm guessing this is supposed to be attached, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out where! It's hanging off on both the driver's and passenger's side. Makes my not so cheap truck, seem quite cheap. Thanks for the help!

    Helmetface's Overdue Build

    With nearly 10k on the odometer, it's high time I put together a build thread! The bulk of this will start with a whoooole lot of pictures and some notes. Feel free to ask any questions along the way! The goal of my Ram was a comfortable highway cruiser; a bike hauler; a capable mobile camp...

    295/70/18 on 18x8.5 +0 - 2.5" level and ORP

    I figured I would post up, as there are always, "will this fit?" threads going around... 295/70/r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 18x8.5 +0 Black Rhino Duggers. So, yes. It fits, but that's a loaded yes! At the end of the day, the balance weights towards the inner side of the wheel were...well...

    TPMS Calibration + Pedal Commander?

    Looking for the best combination of programs. My goal is to program my new TPMS for larger tires, as well as speedo calibration. Is there a singular solution for this? I would also like to use something along the likes of a Pedal Commamdo to even out my throttle response. After 8,000 miles...

    TPMS for Larger Tires

    Hey y'all, making the move from my stock 275's to a set of 295's. I've sourced a set of TPMS from RockAuto for ~$20 a corner. It dawned on me after ordering, that I'll be running very different pressures from factory. Would I be able to "program" in a new set of values? Thank you!

    Final Check Before Ordering: 295/70/18 +0

    Hey all, I'm about to drop some serious coin and I figured I'd post up my specs to see if anyone thinks I may run into any issues. I've got a 2.5" Motofab leveling kit and my truck is a North Edition (ORP). I plan on running 295/70/18 Nittp Ridge Grapplers. Mounted on 18x9 +0 wheels. Why not...

    1500 and 2500 shared bed?

    Title pretty much sums it up! I've got a bed cap for my 2019 1500 that I'd like to put on a 2020 2500. Both beds are 6.5". Will it work? Thanks!

    What Else am I going to Miss? 1500 to 2500

    I've had my 2019 Big Horn 1500 for 8,000 luxurious miles now! I have been problem free, but not without minor complaints. That being said, I have an itch for getting back into a 3/4 ton... I drive a diesel 550 daily for work, which has something to do with this situation I'm in. The crazy...

    Reverse Off Road LED Lights

    Just my own spin on adding some back up lights. Most people that I've seen do this have them hanging lower than what I would prefer, or seem to be flimsy. Parts List: LED's: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G620ZVU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4Dy7DbE582VHH U-Bolt...

    Driver's side Mirror Blurry

    Hate wasting a thread on this, but it's beginning to aggravate me to no end. My driver's side mirror has the film/layer for mitigating the glare of light at night. However, in daylight conditions there is a fair amount of blur that is pretty annoying. It's especially apparent at dusk (as some...

    Wiper blade performance - Factory

    I've got 3k on the odo and since day one I've been pretty disappointed with the wiper performance. They streak. They are noisy. And overall just don't work well. Anyone else have this issue? What blade did you switch to? I had great luck with Bosch Icons on mr. Chevy 2500, but they did awful...

    Leveling Kit and MPG Loss

    Lately I've seen numerous people claiming that they, "lost 5 MPG+" after going with just a leveling kit! Just a level. I'm not talking 35's or anything else... I'm looking at my 2" Motofab kit now and I'm worried about a significant hit to my MPG's. Can anyone else comment on this? I truly...

    Loose Exterior Trim

    Alternate Title: "NeW RAm 1200 mILEs - broken and SeLLiNG" In all seriousness, I just realized that this piece is loose. Looks to be a sort of press fit. Y'all experience this? I have the pano roof and 275/18's.

    First Tank Impressions - General musings

    So, my first tank is out of the way! I've probably got a record amount of posts and reading on this forum for someone who has very little seat time in this generation of Ram. But I'm a researcher and enjoy the process thoroughly. Honestly, I'm enjoying the crap out of it. I'm skeptical on a...

    I did it!

    I've been scouring the interwebs for some time. Largely on this forum. Today, I finally bit the bullet! Exactly one month ago I specifically ordered my my 2019 Bighorn. I was incredibly impressed when 30 days later, I got the call that my truck had arrived. I ordered the following: Crew Cab...

    35" and Eco Mode

    Any of you that are running larger tires, say 33+, also run in Eco mode? I've been gauging MPG loss vs tire size and while I want 35's, I don't want to end up with 12mpg like my Silverado. I will have the 3.92 rear end, which I'm sure will help considerably. However, it seems many people on...

    Am I Clueless? Later Model 2019 Build

    I love the 2019 Ram 1500. I drove it no less than 4 times (extended dealer joy rides) and sat in their office for a total of 6+ hours, accompanied by endless online research, prior to ordering. I finally ordered my Nearly decked out Big Horn about 2 weeks ago. At this point, it has a VIN and...

    35's on 18's - What lift?

    I hate to waste a thread on this, but hopefully I can get some answers for not only myself, but for others in a similar situation. I was intending on getting a 6" lift, 35" tire setup. But after reading the notes on every reasonably priced lift I could find, they all require a 20"+ wheel...

    Bed Cap Options (pics welcome)

    Hey all, in anticipation for recieving my Big Horn Crew Cab with the 6'4" bed, I'm looking at bed caps. I've never owned one on any of my prior trucks, but I would now like one. That being said, Holy $h|+ these things aren't cheap! I was looking at an A.R.E. Z2. And the dealer quoted me just...

    Alpine 9.1 - Why bother?

    Click baity enough of a title? But seriously! I've seen a number of people swapping out their speakers... Is it that bad? I am an amateur audiophile. I don't need the best, but I like a good, clear sound. That being said, from what I've been reading about the Alpine kit, I'm a likely candidate...
