    Go Rhino BR5.5 replacement bumper

    They list it at 206 lbs. I'm curious as to the aerodynamics compared to stock but at 17MPG I can't imagine loosing much.

    Ram reliability?

    Once you drive the Ram and get a look at the interior and ride quality you'll likely realize you can't beat it especially for the price. The Chevy interior looks cheap. Trucks in general are way overpriced but Rams tend to be cheaper especially with the generous rebates. 2019 was the first...

    Ram sales drop to 3rd place for the 1st Quarter

    Yes, that is what I was saying, the 2019 models rated higher than Chrysler usually does. You can pick apart any study with innuendo but using the data is better than just using personal opinion without facts. All I'm saying is that in my opinion, I switched from Chevy to Ram partly because of...

    Ever turn transmission dial instead of radio dial?

    Not the transmission dial but I've grabbed the heater dial to turn up the volume many times and vice versa.

    Ram sales drop to 3rd place for the 1st Quarter

    Lots of good discussion so I'll add my opinion. I switched from GM to Ram because of two factors that have both been said earlier. First the rebate on the Ram. When Ram took 2nd place it had a $12k rebate and Chevy didn't, that's huge. 2nd, the interior of the Chevy and GM, even in their...

    4 months later, anyone installed the bumper yet? I'm almost ready to buy it but would love some reviews.

    Backup Camera with intermittent bad picture

    I had that issue once so far. Now that Rodrow mentioned humidity and car washes, it did happen just after a car wash. It has not happened again, yet. I live in very dry central California.

    Air suspension

    I'm not sure what you are asking but the truck will lower itself once over about 45 MPH to reduce wind resistance. The air suspension is smoother than the standard coil especially when carrying a load. I haven't tried driving it with the system in the all-the-way up position so I don't know...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    I keep mine in 4-auto and get almost 19 mpg on the freeway and about 15 city. I like having the confidence that AWD offers when cornering and you hit that unexpected patch of loose gravel or wet pavement. The one thing I hated about my wrangler is that I could not use it in AWD for regular...

    Amateur Radio (ham) install

    Thanks for all the pictures. This will help me with my planned install. No Ham radio for me. I'm just doing a GMRS install since more people have these radios and my old CB's, well it's like listening to myself talk.

    Love the 33 Gallon Tank!

    I love the 33 Gal tank except when I pay for the fill up, which here in California where it hoovers around $4.00/gal. That's over $120 for a full tank! I can't wait to retire and move out of this state.

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    A lot of good information here. Speed makes a difference because of drag. They say that after 60 MPH the drag exponentially increases. That said, my 4x4 with 3.92 gears doesn't vary much between 70 to 75 MPH with cruise control on fairly flat highway. I get about 18.5 MPG at either speed...

    New member/Ram owner

    Hi, Just got my 2019 new Ram Laramie Quad cab. I was hoping for a diesel but Chrysler seems to be just dangling the carrot on both the Ram and the Jeeps. I am crossing my fingers that Chrysler has fixed their reliability issues though my 2007 Wrangler has had no unusual issues in 80k miles...
